Padel is definitely more interesting. Lobs, smashes, net play, it's got it all

[Railien]

After that paddle went flying out of his hand, I wondered where is the wrist grip on these paddles? no straps? You'd have to only use one hand and play a little harder but damn, better then throwing your paddle out into the crowd.

[akhrormuminov]

Todd and Newman are insane doubles players. 11/1 against them says a lot. Ben and Anna Lee are way above them 😅

[patricklacson]

This is not the speed of my pickleball games!

[dantepaule]

Pickleball is like a combination of lawn tennis and ping pong😅

[galebailey]

Pickleball is essentially ping pong played on a tennis court. The paddles and the sound the ball makes when hit is identical.

[bobwhite]

I have a problem. This podcast is not at normal speed!

[ArmandoPaulino-wf]

i like the part where they hit the ball

[ollieapril]

Oke, that guy needs to chill, this is DOUBLES and he is so possessive of the court. He is basically forcing that girl out. Not a team player at all...

[desoc]

I'm confused - why do they often serve, and they cross with their partners to the other side? What's that about???

[boooop]

Absolutely electric action on the pickle ball court today when she accidentally stepped in the kitchen my heart jumped out of my chest truly top notch high octane glued to your seat action by god

[LyB]

Love B. Johns; AL Waters; JW Brother🌟J Sister 🌟Johnson’s, Todd; Black 💕
I saw a Championship Sunday from a year ago; match where B. Johns constantly kept foot faulting at the kitchen never was called on it🫣🤫😳Aren’t the referees paying attention. It’s the game that B. Johns & AL waters were wearing pink. vs C. Paréntesis & McGuffin wearing orange. Great match yet what a rip off for the other team as B. John’s got away with foot fault time after time 😮😳😵‍💫Wake up Referee 🤪😴

[blazymolds]

Do you see pickleball as a threat to tennis?

[Powerstroke]

Why do I have such a hate-on, for the guy in black!

[davidatkins]

thought this was a team event - this Newman guy is all over the court leaving his partner out of most of the action, why I never like 2 person court sports, very unequal and unsportsmanlike behaviors.

So who's the diddler dating the 16 YO

[rickdeckard]

Doesn’t look like they’re moving or running a whole lot, good perhaps for old people, people with disabilities same people who consider darts and pool or bowling a sport.

[Brandon-qror]

Who is paying for this sport to try to become a thing. It's like tennis and badminton had a baby
