Hi Siavash,

I think the longest rally record is 8 Hours and 40 minutes and 5 seconds by a father and son pair, Peter and Daniel Ives.  That is an amazing amount of time to be able to keep the ball in play.

Does anyone know any other records?

A guy at my club temporarily held the American record for longest rally until it was broken recently.
