Top 10 Pickleball Points of the Month - May 2023

[@matthewcunningham4226]

Soooo pickleball is pretty much tennis with a smaller court or big ping pong tables and big ping-pong paddles?

[@andrewgedman1214]

Slower ball, different scoring, different strategies

[@victormendoza4203]

​@andrewgedman1214 yea, i just started playing and coming from tennis to pickle ball . I definitely have had to change my game

[@lisabeyer5802]

1:48 - I've never tried pickle ball but I play handball in NYC and I always try to make an effort like this player. It's such an amazing body high, pushing yourself to the limit and trying to create a small opportunity when your opponent could possibly derp thinking you gave up. I strongly disagree with the announcer saying it's a wasted effort.

[@geodio]

I just watched a video about how to play and have never played before. I thought I saw you arent allowed to hit the ball while standing in the area by the net (kitchen?). The highlight at 0:12 seconds shows it. Sorry for the ignorant question.

[@jmedical3121]

In the kitchen area, a volley isn't allowed, but the ball dropped once before he hit it

[@pickleballer1729]

@@jairustablanza348 You said it: You don't get it. Try playing for a while and then see if you still don't get it.

[@pickleballer1729]

Everything always looks so easy until you do it. It looks weird to me, too, and it is probably overdone lately, but The tendency to hit overheads fairly softly seems to have evolved just less than a year ago, and I can think of a couple of reasons for it. Firstly, the defense among these players has gotten so good that they will return a smash almost every time, so the idea is to go for numbers, expecting they will make a mistake before you do, which, if you're at the kitchen lien and they're at the baseline, is a good bet. But if you're really wailing on overheads, _you_ are more likely to make a mistake first. Also, hitting several similar shots at different speeds can throw your opponent's timing off, and cause them to miss an easy shot, sort of like a change up in Baseball.

Padel is different?

[@Johnny_Bea_Good]

Whats the differance between Pickleball and tennis.

[@ProfessorB.]

Pretty much everything! Here are the most important differences: The pickleball court is much smaller -- the same size as a badminton court. Pickleball is played with paddles which have a solid face, not rackets with strings. The scoring is different. The pickleball ball is a hard whiffleball -- and the ball is different for playing indoors and outdoors.

[@Zenergist]

It's not nearly as intense or deep as tennis, bit it is a fun social and aerobic pass time that is easily worth the low cost to get into.

[@afterthesmash]

You watched that entire reel, and what you saw was a low intensity sport? DFW wrote about hitting the ball around with top-100 tennis pros, concluding that if you aren't down at court level, you haven't got the least clue how fast the game is really going. It's exactly the same thing with pickleball, only moreso. The lofty camera angle used to film pickleball distorts the frenetic pace of the hand battles even more than the lofty camera distorts the true speed of tennis professionals. What's different in pickleball is that the ball slows down a lot more from baseline to baseline (the flight time in both sports is comparable), making it possible to pastiche together a desperate defense for far longer. You also can't bounce the ball so high in the air off a smash that the ball becomes truly unplayable, either. In tennis, after a proper kill shot, everyone relaxes and heads for their water bottles. In doubles pickleball, there really isn't such a thing as a perfect kill shot. Every attempt at a kill shot is another opportunity for the defending team to dig deep for another round of desperately intense heroics. I grew up in the Golden Age of the Arcade. I pretty much quit the arcade when Mortal Kombat showed up on the scene, and it was the only game anyone else was playing. You looked over at that screen, and half the time the player was standing around to watch the same old cutscene of another severed head and dangling spine raised to the rafters as it dripped blood. Standing around, buffing your nails to dripping blood, pixellized, for the hundredth time in a row. Oh, how intense! I didn't play games with cutscenes. I didn't play any of those half-action games. I played games where the _actual_ action was nonstop, until this new definition of "intense" drove me out of the arcade once and for all. Tennis is more like Mortal Kombat. If that's how you perceive intensity-as residing more in the cutscene _between_ rallies-you'll simply never get pickleball.

[@monem.1212]

This game needs the court to be long and wide, such as the length of the court is eight and four out of ten yards by eight and four out of ten yards, and the width of the court is eight and four out of ten yards, because the size of the current court is very small ' the game should acquire luxury like tennis, and the luxury consists in 🤓
