I was just poking fun at pickle ball as something made up by people who can’t play tennis. Its the wiffle ball and exaggerated size of the paddles. A day drinking game that some take WAY too seriously.
i can play tennis. not well, but i can. I was on the tennis team in high school. i was the mascot and the worst player, but i was on the team. I like pickle ball because i can play it with friends who aren’t used to running all around the court. it’s basically tennis but y’all just doing net game. honestly, if i were a tennis coach (again, i suck so i would not be a good coach) i would have my team do pickleball to practice net game.
it’s just good fun, and it gets some people who otherwise would just drive the golf cart and swing the club and consider that sport off the couch. like, actual light cardio. i’m not going to discourage that, just like everything there are asses who get too competitive.
I’ve heard it said that pickleball is for former tennis players. And I think there’s plenty of truth there. It’s a relatively low impact sport that requires similar skills.
It’s honestly a great sport for older people - less risk of injury compared to similar sports, doesn’t require a lot of expensive equipment (although there’re plenty of companies making a killing nowadays), and it helps build and maintain things like hand-eye coordination.
There are tons of towns near me that are replacing their tennis courts with pickleball courts. The sport just supports a wider range of people than tennis and you can get two pickleball courts out of one tennis court if I remember correctly.
A lot of former tennis players play pickleball now. Even Agassi has his own Joola paddle design and is making a league. That being said, some folks are way too serious and should just play for fun.
