The name.

My brothers and I were tennis players (and can still play tennis), but it is easier to find competitive pickleball games. I don't play as much as my brothers (due to recovery from a torn rotator cuff), but we have trips planned around pickleball.

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

Yeah but still fast paced action. And quick reflexes.

Doubles sucks, singles is a lot of fun.

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

You can't serve overhead.

Bowling must give him nightmares.

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

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.
