We think only a record holder can know what you go through to set a record, so we only let people that
have already set world records downvote other people's records.
What can I do?
Go set a record! If you can think of it, you can set a new world record for it.
Yes @Dan the attempts so far have consistently been at a decent 90-100cm distance. You can see the improvement on the third record (current) because Andy has his hand so close to the wall. I found when I tried it the closer to the wall the more bounces you can get and makes I difficult to determine a catch or push from the wall and obviously further away means it takes longer for the ball to get to the wall and back so would result in a lower result. Having at least a consistent distance makes it fair - maybe the distance itself should be part of the record title/category as it might be interesting to see the same thing from say 3metres or even 10

Peter, does standing location make a difference? I'm trying think how standing closer (or farther) would change anything.

criteria should include "from 3 foot (90cm)" as demonstrated in all three successful attempts.
