@@imstillrogueit really doesn’t, played tennis for years and only 6 months into pickleball and I’m a 5.0 league player. The game is braindead compared to tennis. Granted it helps that I’m in my 20’s

[@kenlam4978]

for those who doesn't want to even learn....can't even use spin.... boring kiddo game, no skills at all.

[@vavavarken]

@@SHLOWE ​ Braindead may be fair, but I think its more that it doesn't require a high level of athleticism to have a good time. Maybe akin to Mario Cart with its blue shells and other silly fun mechanics vs a serious racing game. Neither are inherently better, but one definitely isn't as competitive if that's your priority

What happens if you fire the ball at 120 mph into the chest of your opponent?

[@jacobwilliams5271]

Hard to do that with underhand serves

[@johnsain]

@@jacobwilliams5271 Every shot is underhanded?...I see people in the video hitting at angles that are not underhanded.

Then you have defied physics and broken the world speed record for projecting a pickleball by human force (and you break your opponents sternum, but win the volley).

[@cjbrewer3843]

"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women."

as long as the ball does not bounce on the ground twice after hitting the chest, your opponent may return the serve back into your face.

I played for the first time last week. Not sure how I feel about it. I can see its appeal since it is very easy to pick up or at least easier than other “racquet” sports. As a tennis player, I really had to adjust my swing and realize the technique is not the same at all. You need quick reflexes and and you do get a workout due to the fast nature. However, it does somewhat feel like what we would call “baby tennis” which is what beginners would play to get used to getting the ball over the net. It is a very democratic sport so I can see its wide appeal. I will play a few more times to see. I will also say the scoring is not easily understandable. It also is very close to touch tennis which is tennis played on a court about 1/3 the size of a regular court with smaller racquets and different balls but similar scoring system. The community that plays this sport IS supper passionate which is generally a good thing.

[@themagicalmilkshake]

How tf is it Democratic? You sound dumb

[@bermchasin]

it just seems like a weird hodgepodge of ping-pong and tennis, without the excitement of bigger moves that you have in tennis or the finesse of table tennis.

Just played it for the first time today and i had a blast. It was 2v2 and we played a couple of games to best of 3. I’m a ping pong guy and thought this game was like a larger version.

[@20Hikecdt23]

Question: a player is allowed to strike from or in the kitchen IF the ball has struck once before this during the game inside the kitchen? For instance say opposite side hits ball and 2:02 ball bounces in thekitchen on opposite side of the net. Is the rule for just that one strike or is it thereafter the opposite side may enter the kitchen on that side? And if so is the other team not allowed into the kitchen until a ball bounces in their kitchen? Thanks to anyone who will clarify.

[@ryanadamvarner]

One strike. If it bounces in the kitchen you can go up and hit it whether you’re in the kitchen or not but then once you hit it over the rules resume where if the next ball bounces past the kitchen you cannot enter the kitchen to hit it.

And whatever happened to "Platform Tennis"? It was sort of cold weather tennis offshoot that used a smaller ball and paddles. About 40 years ago. Ive never heard it mentioned since. I just Googled it and found it was invented in 1928 (what?). Played on a wooden raised court so heating element could be installed (what?). Also similar to racketball in that the ball could be played off of the screening enclosure.

[@dallascowboy2221]

Is it against the rules to hit the ball hard? Seems like they are just passing it back and forth without power like in tennis

[@GetYourKeyWithJZ]

Great Tutorial! one question i have is: on a Serve it it touches the net and bounces in legal area is it still in play or a let? i see different answers to this?

[@edwardserocki1319]

after first volley aim for the opponents face, if the dodge it should still land in fair territory and you get the serve.

[@Tstormer]

🤣 Jesus Crust

[@PepperStone3]

If the ball is clearly going to land in the kitchen, can you step in the kitchen BEFORE the ball lands and hit it AFTER it bounces? Or do you have to wait until it bounces in the kitchen until you can step into it?

[@Piitaa_Pain]

this actually seems fun

[@scottperry2541]

So you can hit from the kitchen if it has bounced once on your side?
