A hot take for you Pickleballers:

the outfits, the entire aesthetic, terrible. leisure disguised as strenuous exertion. golf doesn’t have this problem because it’s honest. pickleball wants you to believe that you’re doing more while cradling you in a sea of athleticorp simulacra. very fake and dishonest

It has taken the nation by storm. New pickleball courts are more common than new tennis courts.

The game is great for the average player. At a certain level they just need to

I think using the word "simulacra" outs him as the very type of try-hard

I prefer tennis. It is better in almost everyway. Except I can go play pickleball with a novice or my kids much easier

Yup, I only get slightly bugged when people try to compare pickleball in athleticism and skill to tennis.

I compare it to ping pong. I don't consider it exercise, but it is fun. I've never played doubles, that seems boring.

Yeah don’t compare it tennis. And don’t compare WNBA to NBA. Two

What a loser. That was pretty awesome and you would have to be blind to

What I saw the women did not take advantage of many shots to put it away by choosing sharper angles. Poor strategic play

Baron

Jul 25, 10:34am

Yeah but still fast paced action. And quick reflexes.

Alan Schaefer

Doubles sucks, singles is a lot of fun.

I didn't think you could hit the ball with an overhead motion?

Spiff

Jul 25, 10:37am

You can't serve overhead.

Meh. It's fun and gets people together and active. Also, who doesn't love a good

Bowling must give him nightmares.

Yes, we should all get back to our screens instead of enjoying another

That was a pretty amazing exchange.

If the lady in the pink shoes were a man, she would be put on blast for hogging.

this guy obviously hasn't played any high-level pickleball

Great game, in the same category as spikeball. I hate it right now though

Zooropa

Don’t play it much…but what a great sport for a much bigger net

Aircooled

"professional" pickleball is weird. But it's a fine recreational sport

"Pickleballers" sounds like a hilarious comedy film. I would watch that movie.
