so basically this is like tennis and ping pong mashed together? Interesting

I was given a flyer at my local community center and thought “what the f… is pickle ball?” I grew playing lots of sports and have never heard of pickleball. I had to check it out in on YouTube to see how you play it. Pretty much if tennis and ping pong had a baby. 😄

Thanks for sharing the basics! Having my first lesson today!

[arfriedman]

Thanks for explanation. I just recently heard of this. May 2023.

[arepitagrande]

I thank you for this explanation too. Never heard or read of it until I was having a look at a webside for table tennis in Germany. 😊

Just got invited to play and had no idea what it was. Thanks, I can’t wait. Looks very fun.

[HillaryMarek]

Thank you! I thought it was a mix of racquet ball and handball. I was way off. I have only seen it played on old racquet ball courts against a cinder block wall. Now I’m confused but I hope the other videos in the series will explain it. Thank you for making this tutorial free. You are appreciated.

[George-nxzu]

Am I correct in saying that it can only bounce once just like tennis?

[TallMichelleWithTheLongHair]

Looks like tennis with a different ball and racket.

United States.
1. USA invent a sport.
2. USA become world champion.
3. Other countries learn to play.
4. Other countries become the best sport players and champions of the sport.
5. Repeat the cycle.

Never seen PB played on a wood court before. Even indoor courts I've been to are paved & painted.

[HeatherFaraMS]

Why did squash go away? So similar, and what we all learned in school!

[bigrob]

It’s great they are getting exercise and all. But we played that for years. 😂😂 It is fun tho.

"Look at it, it's like tennis"

[evelynmatos]

It looks like old school hand ball but with a raquet

[terrymunoztrujillo]

1 .give up on tennis 2. gain 50 pounds 3. stand around and watch paint dry, it's the same amount of exercise and fun.

[MangkuKNasi]

So this is just a larger scale table tennis

[vickieden]
