Top 10 Pickleball Points of the Month - March 2023

[@GaneshNorway]

Maybe it's fun to play, but when you need to speed up the high light points it's not really the most spectacular of sports.

[@pickleballhighlights7068]

It was for 1 point only and we put it in because it was a highlight moment. But yes, normally the super long points aren't highlight worthy. I would say the same is true for all racket sports

[@RecursiveDimension]

@@pickleballhighlights7068 I wouldn't say that for all racket sports. Long points in tennis, especially with titans like Federer/Nadal, are such a delight to see.

[@SsoulBlade]

@@pickleballhighlights7068 " I would say the same is true for all racket sports" You sound sour. Table tennis and tennis is pretty much highlight worthy. The problem with this new sport is that it is for the most part monotonous. How? Serve and run towards net basically all the time. It is a one-trick pony game with quite a limited skill set needed.

[@projectx5154]

@@pickleballhighlights7068 nah tennis is way better on longer points. Keep coping

[@BGK2223]

That part is boring, but it's a strategy to set up the firefight, kind of like in soccer when they're setting the stage for the more exciting shots.

[@JakobTennisMB]

The point at 1:47 shows why this sport will never, ever be as watchable as tennis. Long points like this are INSANELY boring to watch.

[@tbppitw]

Bruh what who the heck wants to watch a tennis match where it’s the serve and one volley and the points over ???

[@Largecanyondog]

@@tbppitw it’s the contrast in styles between baseliners and volleyers.

[@noelgenoway9360]

OMG amazing ........slow fast slow fast fast slow fast ......point!

[@JakobTennisMB]

@@tbppitw ask viewership ratings, which will forever trump pickleball's.

[@Chorspool]

Jakob I sadly have to disagree.. the fact that you are here watching this video says that it clearly is gaining popularity….. 🤔

[@Chorspool]

This is so sick. The level of play from pros is INSANE! One day I hope to be half as good as they are

[@chrismundiath4348]

😂

[@JAFrk]

My personal opinion is that this sport will be very fun to play and has good play longevity (less likely to incur injuries compared to other sports), but is going to probably have same viewership numbers as beach volleyball because it's just not really entertaining to watch. I think they need to make the court a bit faster to make smashes more punishing and increase the width of the court wider for doubles?

[@celticwind4122]

honestly kinda agree. some of the points really are exciting but others where its just 4 people standing in one spot dinking is so boring.

[@kushbd]

The more the sports grows, the more eyeballs that will want to watch it. There is a reason so much investment $ is being thrown at PB right now.

[@Dough_Dough4]

exactly. Really accessible and fun to play, but boring to watch

[@eyrie1]

Can someone explain to me why they can't just step up to the net and smash those ridiculously slow returns?

[@BGK2223]

You're not allowed to hit balls in the air if you're in the "kitchen", which is the space from the net to the first line. That's why sometimes they jump outside of the court to legally hit it from closer range.

[@eyrie1]

points like #7 can't happen if you want the game to keep growing

[@x1mjp1x]

yeah, imagine the fans like "Are we being trolled??..."

[@floorticket]

Yeah, I counted over a hundred strokes.

[@afterthesmash]

Suit yourselves. I went back and watched it again. In golf, when you actually play, that _entire_ rally would be less than the time you spend walking to the ball after a big drive.

[@harmonium86]

Been watching a lot the last few days and that rarely happens. It’s like you zooming to the most boring part of any sport and being like oh hur hur this can’t happen again or the sport will fail. Example: dribbling back and forth down the court of the field.

[@igweogba6774]

[@monem.1212]

Goal Number Ten is the most beautiful because the court looks relatively bigger and the competition is individual, so everything is close to the original tennis level 🤔

[@jeffcaptain6738]

Any surprise that Ben Johns was in four of the top ten points?

[@googa9689]

1:58 tfw you need to speed up the points in your hightlights because of how boring they are, like goddamn, i understand why people could like to play pickleball, its just easier tennis, but holy fuck competitive pickleball sucks so much

[@tylerpestell]

Around 2:38 wouldn't that be a fault as his momentum carries him into the kitchen during volley? I am new to the sport but I thought that was a thing ... edit: (specifically the guy in a black hat)

[@xavierwashington5408]

So if the server cant get close until the other player hits back, why doesnt the opponent just hit the ball softly and the server cant make it in time to hit it back?

[@SquirrelTrapper]

Looks like tennis for no skill babies 😂

[@JAFrk]

I guess Pickleball is catching on in the USA because the USA has completely failed to produce good tennis players for the past decade. Americans always need to create their own niche sports to be good in because they can't compete anymore in sports that have been globalized. I mean, USA just lost to Japan in the World Baseball Classic so...

[@kuyanick]

​@@JAFrk It's wonderful for sports to become international, regardless where it originates. It elevates the game and level of competition. Japan is phenomenal at sports and their pro baseball league has been around for over 70 years. All good things :)

Que diferencia hay entre el pickelball y el padel

[@FernandoCarril]

En el padel la pelota va rápido...

[@fernandobarria3445]

en el pádel: las raquetas y las pelotas son más grandes, la cancha de pádel mide 20 por 10 metros (prácticamente el doble de ancho), tienes una pared al final de la cancha que en la parte de atrás mide 4 metros de alto y 3 metros de alto por los laterales, comúnmente siempre se juega de a parejas, mientras que este juego se ve bien en un 1v1 pero en un 2v2 se hace tan chica la cancha que siento que pierde el sentido

[@andreihorodniceanu2406]

the pickleball balls are not the same as tennis balls, you can t lob that ball easily, and its not very efficient either

[@daneburton7953]

Why don't they just slam every shot? Why do they always hit it back slow and into the first small section of the court? This makes no sense.

[@Seppi1310]

You're not allowed to stand in the first small section of the court while hitting a ball and that's why putting a low ball there is a relatively safe defensive move. For slamming every shot at hip hight I guess the condition of the racquet either doesn't allow an effective top spin strike or the players simply lack the skills to perform that shot...

[@andreihorodniceanu2406]

i played it and trust me, its not that easy as it looks, its indeed easier than tenis or padel but the racquet is weaker and the balls are different than the tennis balls
