Tennis players across the United States are switching from tennis to pickleball. Pickleball is played on a smaller court with a lower net and perforated plastic balls. This combination of factors makes pickleball far easier to play compared to tennis. However, good tennis players can translate their tennis skills to any other racquet sport with relative ease. Tennis is by far the most challenging racquet sport to master. It is therefore wise for newly converted pickleball players to not completely abandon tennis. Improvement in their tennis technique will also improve their pickleball skills.

Have you transitioned from tennis to pickleball? Let me know why 👇
I started last week at that same pickle ball court(Okee), all tennis courts were empty and pickle ball court is filled ...like 30players. You're right, the tennis moves is all there but compact strokes. Ball movement is so forgiving especially with wind gust. Thanks!
if you have you must have SUCKED at tennis
More people, easy access, more fun, more social. Tennis definitely has a high skill ceiling, meaning at some point you need proper technique and coaching to advance. Many times this takes years, and is usually done while younger and growing up. You kind of miss that boat if you're just picking up tennis later in life, whereas Pickleball is always there and you can jump in at any skill level.
@@chea7z913 exactly its like a game made for americans😂
No but now the public court near us has become a main station for pickleball players. The signs, however, clearly defined the court only for Tennis. No other activities allowed.
I have an 88 yr old uncle who decided to start playing tennis again and was disappointed in how quickly he fatigued when playing. I suggested he try pickleball, he said "Pickleball! That's for old people" 🤣
Wow 88 and out and about amazing
I started playing pickleball in my late 30’s and tennis last year at age 48. I have to say: as much as I enjoy playing pickleball, I just LOVE playing tennis. I have learned so much from Intuitive Tennis videos and I think Nick is the best tennis coach in RUclips. Keep up the good work, coach!
🙏🙏
I won't be doing that any time soon. I can't stand the noise it makes when you are trying to play tennis and that clacking is going on in the background. There is nothing like the satisfaction of the sound made by a well struck tennis ball.
Trueee trueee
Tennis is for the rich elite. I can’t stand the game or the douche bags who play it.
Like any racket sport, ping pong included, top play requires great skill and reaction times. In the 70's tennis exploded, but dropped off because many people found tennis was not a sport that can be immediately mastered. Pickle ball can be a high skill racket game, but many find it much easier to play at least at a moderate competitive level without the same skill building as tennis. As for me, give me the competitive juices of a close set and sweet feel of a well struck tennis ball.
This is true
Poetry in a RUclips comment
I rather prefer Toughtennis than Pickleball. It looks like more real tennis and it is less demanding in recreational mode.
@@errajota Racquetball a lot tougher than tennis try getting shot with a rubber ball at 190mph, or accidently cracked with a swinging carbon racquet.
Lots of our local courts got converted to pickleball courts. Our local park was able to fit 6 pickleball courts where 1 tennis court was. Anyways, the top pickleball players usually come from tennis. The good tennis players pick-up on pickleball much faster than other people. Good table tennis players do very well when playing at kitchen line. Racquetball players seem to pick up on pickleball kind of slow, as they always seem to try to smash every shot.
I can make a comment on this. I am a long term tennis player and I love tennis and have also been involved as a volunteer on two local tennis club executive committees. I think Pickleball is rising quickly and displacing tennis because the tennis community is not all that friendly and welcoming and not proactive enough in encouraging new people or retaining players. I can tell you many times I asked people who had joined a club why they did not come back and they almost always explained that they could not find people to play with. Often too some club players formed cliques and shunned others. It was quite usual to see players that would not play with just anybody. Tennis has a reputation of being an exclusive sport and many clubs reinforce that concept. Pickleball is the opposite as it is is far more social and open. I know several people who I tried to interest in tennis and they joined the club but dropped it for the reasons I gave and went on to Pickleball. I would say too that in some other countries especially in Latin America tennis clubs are way more social holding parties and running interesting social events and they work at building a community. In North America tennis clubs are mostly just a place to play tennis if you are good enough. You do not join a community when you join a tennis club in North America. You do not really make friends at a tennis club just acquaintances. That is a problem. You can make friends at Pickleball however.
You're the only one who's telling the truth. Lots of respect for your opinion..!
THANK YOU. I'm a mom is two who is very athletic but my friends group really shifted. Pickleball is accommodating. I don't have to spend any extra money, I can go outside and literally meet people, and I can squeeze an impromptu game in in those surprise moments when I don't have my kids. Literally playing it because it's fun and other people are playing it not because I'm lazy.
With pb, we don’t have the touch like with a tennis ball. And i miss that. It feels good when i hit tennis ball in the center of the string.
I notice a lot of seniors playing when I’m out practicing my serves. I will definitely buy a paddle one of these days and join a group for some fun. I like how you can get a good workout and still implement your tennis skills at the same time. Those courts you play on in Florida look fabulous. It’s harsher on Canada’s west coast, but people still manage to get out in the winter when it’s in the mid 40’s (Fahrenheit)to play. 👍
you might enjoy Spec Tennis---has the same feel as tennis, same strokes & strategies, but is played on a pickleball court
Pickleball is all the rage here as well Nick and it dominates our local tennis club. I do know some of my tennis friends that have tried it and they say it actually helps with their tennis volley skills.
pretty sure their tennis volleys is helping their pickelball volleys but whatever works.
If they say that, their volleying skill was poor to begin with and they can't even tell whether their volleying had gotten better or not, but I am 100% sure PB has nothing to do with any skill improvement in tennis.
@@tomsd8656 Perhaps it's safe to say PB has helped some tennis players improve their skill and not others? There is no one size fits all.
@@cycologist7069 Well have you heard of mini tennis? It's when players use only the service boxes area of the court to train. This is done to improve feel and control. When you play mini tennis, it's exactly the same as pickle ball except harder to control, because you still use the tennis balls and tennis racquet, and you have to keep the ball from flying. With PB, there's no trampoline effect from the racquet, and the ball is lighter and designed to not fly through the air so fast. That's why I don't see any benefit PB can give tennis players. It's a different racquet, different ball and therefore different feel.
@@tomsd8656 Again there is no one size fits all. Read through these threads. Quite a few tennis players claim PB has helped their tennis. Others, not so much. I’ll take this word for it since I don’t know their circumstances. Years ago I had a roommate who played squash claim it helped him with tennis. I had another friend who claimed tennis helped him with racquetball.
Hi Nikola, Excellent review of the pickleball. I love how you hit with the - who looks like - a very good pickleball player. This game is very popular here (North East) as well, of course, during the summer. A lot of outdoor courts have yellow lines for pickleball, which is confusing when you play tennis.
I do have pickleball paddles and my wife and I play it occasionally. In order to not screw up my tennis motion (actually hard to mess it up even more :), I play pickleball with my left hand. And I do quite well. For the same reason, I learned to play table tennis with my left hand. And play well too.
Thanks.
Dmitry, that’s such a great idea playing lefty 👍
I did the same for badminton. And doing it pretty well too
Nick, I've taken up playing Padel tennis doubles in the last couple of months here in the UK, it's a great workout with similar strategy to our sport, but at 67 I won't quit lawn tennis while I can still move around effectively.
Glad to hear that Gordon
Interesting! Thanks for this.
Do you have any plan for talking about racket spec (e.g., weight) and string for recreational tennis players?
Definitely
One thing about pickleball is that there are SO many tournaments for it. You just do not see that in other racquet sports, and it is so easy to play competitively in pickleball. Tennis is much harder to find good tournaments.
Smaller courts result in more pickleball courts at many locations. More courts result in the ability to host and complete a tournament in one day or a weekend.
Something similar is happening here in Brazil. A lot of recreational tennis players are switching to beach tennis. They tend to pick up very quickly due to being tennis practitioners and end up enjoying it more due to the “easier” nature of the sport. The only sad thing to see is the tennis courts converted to something else.
It is sad to see Leandro
@Peter Pappas Beach tennis is just Badminton in disguise.
I tried it about a month ago , I play with my wife if the tennis courts are occupied to kill the time waiting for them to free up. The same thing that makes it so accessible, the low skill level kind of also makes it dull after 3 sets or so.

I will just order 4 racquets now!!! Looks like load of fun. Thanks Nikola! (Hvala najlepše)
Haha yes
In pickleball they are called paddles 😊
In Kansas, they have a place called “Chicken and Pickle” where you can play pickleball, eat food, and enjoy live music/events. It’s kind of like Top Golf but for pickleball, but they have no air conditioning.
Interesting
I keep playing tennis and table tennis not to compete or have fun, but because I just want to hit the ball well and enjoy the feeling of hitting the ball well: the solid thud of the tennis ball when it's struck well, squarely on the strings, the sensation and sound of speedglue effect rubbers gripping the table tennis ball, and how the ball arcs like crazy in flight when you loop it, and the most godlike looking backhand slap motion that is the table tennis backhand loop.
You can play "little tennis" in singles pickleball, but doubles pickleball is a radically different game. There really aren't passing shots because each player only has to cover 10 feet laterally. Both receivers are at the net after the return, and because the serve and the return must bounce, the servers are generally kept back near the baseline. Because of this scenario, the serving team generally tries to hit soft shots into the Non-volley zone that force the receiving team to hit up from below the top of the net. That gives the serving team time and safe passage to the net where they can engage in strategic soft shots in the attempt to get their opponents to hit the ball high enough to attack and hit down. Rallies are often many hits long. And even if you get into trouble because of a high ball, you can reset the ball by slowing it down and hitting soft into the NVZ again so the opponents can't attack.
Nice story Nikola (about Monfils). Pickleball can get you fit, fast, less time, less cost, less technique. I started when my tennis partner (American) imported this into Belgium. But I still play 6h tennis a week.
Thanks Terry, didn’t know it’s going global
I was a usta league & tournament 4.0 player for more than a decade. I quit tennis for pickleball after playing pickleball for the first time! Pickleball is more fun and much more social. My favorite part of tennis, is when all 4 players are at the net... which is practically every rally in pickleball. Tennis is about speed & power. Pickleball is more about quick reflexes and finesse. I loved playing dodgeball as a kid, and pickleball on an advanced level has a lot in common with dodgeball. The two sports have different, yet similar, skill sets. It's childish to argue one sport is superior (or the king). To each their own. If tennis were superior, I'd still be playing it. I find it slow and boring now. 120mph ball with 120 feet to react vs. 60mph ball with 14 feet to react.
Actually Tennis is superior. The reason why people play pickleball because it's easier. Sports that are more difficult to master tend require two things, talent and or grit, usually both. Some Strong tennis players don't have the best talent, but a lot of grit. Tennis is a much faster sport by science! It is one of the fastest sport they measured. Watching a pickleball match and a tennis match back to back is like watching a sports car (tennis) versus a mini-van (pickleball). So Pickleball to me is someone who doesn't like speed and or power. The dinking and dunking in pickleball drives me insane. For the love of god, play a real sport. Pickleball is basically for the "almost athlete." The intensity level of pickleball is so low, I fall asleep on the court. Good night! Enjoy your slow, boring, snoozing game.
Childish. LOL
Really? A 120mph serve 6:36 is very hard to pick up no matter how far from the sevice line. Lots of videos of real good club players trying to return a 120mph+ serve. Some even throw their racquets at the ball trying to return it. Add in the spin and slice and good luck. Don't even get me started on big, kick serve above your shoulder to your backhand.
I love tennis and would never give it up, not to mention there are far more tennis clubs and teams than pickleball near me, however this still looks like loads of fun and I’d love to try some day! When I visit my Grandma in Florida there are always people playing!
seems fun to play if you are really good at tennis. For me I believe it will mess up my technique since I am still slowly building it.
I don't really care if they want to paint extra lines for pickleball if it's in a different color. In my area there seem to be a lot of fanatics who aren't satisfied until the courts are converted to *just* pickleball though.
Although I play tennis, have to say that badminton is much faster than tennis when the ball leaves the racket. Badminton speed goes down soon after releasing because of air frictions but it’s still wrong to claim that tennis is the only sport with high speeds.
Badminton smash is fast yes
Don't forget about the sport jai alai...
I agree. Tennis is the King!
A lot pickleball courts are popping up and my area too in Missouri. I think I'll pick it up since it seems really good to play with my friends and family that aren't very good at tennis. I just hope the few tennis courts that we have in my area don't get converted to only pickleball courts. I love tennis too much to give it up.
Very good comments for pros of pickerball and tennis.
I used to play tennis in high school but now I'm getting older and my knees cant' handle tennis anymore. I've been playing badminton but I'd like to try pickle ballas well.
I’ve tried it but it’s not complicated to learn it. This is the reason why I love tennis, the challenge and learning tennis mainly because of the complexities is worth more than I can explain. And passing down a a sport with so much complex and prestige is a beautiful thing to pass down to my kids. Tennis is hard and that’s why we love it.
When will you be doing pickle ball lessons??? That was great to watch since I have just transitioned to pickle ball...still play tennis although pickle ball is nearly eclipsing my love for tennis! By the way, your tennis instruction is top notch....thank you ❗️❗️Patrick
Thank you Patrick, maybe one day
Joan, you might like Spec Tennis--it's a hybrid between pickleball and tennis ruclips.net/video/n_8dXs57n2o/видео.html
Hey Nikola, what kind of micro do you use ? It seems very good!
Rode wireless
One disadvantage of pickleball, in contrast to tennis, is that skill at pickleball is useless when it comes to establishing or measuring a person's worth as a human being.
Pickleball looks fun but I love tennis and competing so I'd never give it up.
But I think it would be fun to try other racket sports as well.
Grant
Glad to hear that Grant
I'm not good enough at tennis, pingpong isnt enough, maybe I'll give this a shot. If you can play tennis, that's awesome, stick with it
Never say never.
you might like Spec Tennis. It complements your tennis game as the same strokes and strategies are used, but on a smaller court, so you get incredible rallies often, since it's harder to put the ball away ruclips.net/video/UtT1g2ZDPkQ/видео.html
Badminton
two words: the KING! :D
High pitch of this ball when hit is going to drive neighbours nuts.
Emma Raducanu does PingPong training with professional team in China every year in her trip, and she mentioned it’s benefiting her tennis game and she keeps doing that on purpose.
You should do a review on Spec Tennis or Pop Tennis which is more tennis related than Pickle Ball. In fact, Spec Tennis is played on a pickle ball court with an orange dot ball, different racquet, but strokes are very much tennis like. Pop Tennis is the most tennis like but is played on a specific court a bit larger than Pickle Ball courts and is played with green dot balls. I plan to start my invasion of pickle ball courts playing Spec Tennis.
The problem is it's so hard to find someone to play tennis with. Not a problem with pickelball. The courts are always full of people playing pickelball.
I really wanted to get into tennis as I saw it as a way for my wife and I to get some exercise and have fun together. She played badminton, but badminton courts are rare. She just couldn't enjoy tennis because it was too hardcore. We tried pickleball for the first time last week and we both had a blast (even though got my workout mainly by chasing the ball). It seems like the appeal of pickleball is more about who can play the sport. There's value in sports that can be enjoyed by a larger portion of the population. I need something that will bring me closer to the people close to me, not something that would take me away from them just because I'm more athletic than them.
One big advantage of PB... there is hardly any need for lessons. My son plays PB at a competitive level, and he has only had one lesson (which frankly didn't do too much). Since the ball is so light and so many shots are improvised drop shots, there is less danger of developing bad habits from playing without lessons.
For example, my son doesn't really split step when he is rushing in to volley. He just runs through his volley to get to the kitchen faster. However, because the ball and paddle are so light, this is not a bad habit the same way it would be in tennis. Some PB people think his lack of split step is a problem, but still, he can compete at a high level and it does get him faster to the kitchen, so its not a barrier the way it would be in tennis.
A lot of similar things can be said about footwork, form, etc. People just learn the strokes as they play, and generally, they can achieve a reasonably high level. If you can hit touch shots and you have good reaction times for high speed volleys, you do fine. No form required.
I have transitioned from badminton to tennis and have struggled a little. I expect it to be the opposite of going from tennis to pickleball.
Passionate about Tennis!
Definitely
I saw a video of POP tennis being played in Venice, CA and it looked really fun. I play a lot of tennis and I want to also try POP tennis too but I'm worried that it will mess up my tennis game. Has anyone experienced a problem when switching back and forth from an 18 inch paddle and a standard 27 inch racquet?
I also don’t think pickleball has less technique per se. The motions aren’t as exaggerated as tennis, but they are translatable. What works in tennis often works in pickleball, but there are shots rarely used in tennis that are stronger assets in pickleball: when in tennis would you want to hit a stop volley on a half volley? This shot is all-important to my pickleball game because you can’t volley the shots in the kitchen. The forehand slice approach i would use regularly in pickleball as it takes more spin and skids, but a drive would be better in tennis most of the time.
another reason for people in florida switching over to pickleball is that there are indoor pickleball courts but no indoor tennis courts, I live in mid-east florida, and hate when it rains for 4 days straight that Im just itching to hit some balls, indoor pickleball would be the perfect alternative
More videos like this!!! they keep taking our tennis courts!
Where in Florida are you from or where do you teach?? Never realized your in Florida!
I went to Croatia for my honeymoon and visited Split. Beautiful country!
Split ❤️
I’m in Palm Beach county
@@IntuitiveTennis get out of here! I live in Palm Beach Gardens! Where do you coach and do you do lessons??
I’m south of you. Contact me privately for lesson inquiries
Tennis is so much better I’m never gonna do that lol. Like Pickleball is a simple game every kid baso did at home at one point but it takes actual talent and athleticism for tennis
Have you done a review on Padel yet?
We need a technique video for pickle ball!!!! 😂
Man... while I am trying to bring more people to tennis.. now we have paddle, picke, and soft tennis as 'competitors' ... what to do? What to do?
I think quite a few other racket sports are actually faster: badminton can go over 200mph, squash and rackets can both go at least as fast or faster
True, I wasn’t aware of badminton
One key reason to switch to pickleball for me. I was able to start playing men's tournaments with my son at ten years old. No way I could do that with him in tennis due to his height. At twelve now, he and I are very competitive against two skilled men since height isn't that important.
It will be interesting when the fanatical, competitive PB players hit the wall on how good they can get, will they cut back or quit altogether. In tennis. I've seen lots quit when they can't get beyond 3.0, 3.5, or 4.0 rating. The social players will keep playing, but the more competitive get frustrated.
Would be interested to see what you think of pickleball doubles. Singles really rewards tennis skills I think, but good doubles players dice me up since you need a lot more finesse.
And about touch tennis?
It seems to me that Pickle Ball is popular because it is a more social game and Tennis is more strenuous. In terms of exercise you are going to get a better work out in a much shorter time than with Pickle Ball. Older people will gravitate to Pickle Ball because they simply, likely have more time to do it (again a social game). You video is awesome by the way.
I get the sense that if you have a good net game in tennis then you can transition to being competetive in pickleball pretty easily. Since you now have tried pickleball and obviously play tennis would you say that's the case?
I would say the transition is easy
I thought about playing golf after I can't run anymore for tennis, but now I will play pickleball before golf. (When i cannot run much) Pickleball to me is like that. So, I would stick to play tennis for a long time.
Where is the location that you buy this small racket
Walmart
I play one-grip tennis with continental though
Great video! I think you should make a video review of the multiple options that exist in the market and talk about rackets, dynamic and style, balls used to play the sports, etc.
I am quite surprised on how long this list is:
Spec tennis, Pickeball, Tennis, Paddleball (or Paddle in Spain I believe), Platform Tennis, Beach Tennis (for those who like the sand rather than hard court or clay), Pop Tennis - I may be forgetting some since they seem to pop up all over the place!
NOTE. I am purposefully putting aside more strange sports like squash, racketball, and similar sports.
Have a great weekend!😀
Thanks, Coach Aracic. It's too bad that tennis courts are being converted to pickleball courts. Is pickleball good for improving the "hands-oriented" style / hand-feel style of tennis? I heard some people talk about how in France and some other countries that they teach the tennis students to learn a more "hands oriented" style.
I love the hands approach to tennis but unfortunately pickleball won’t provide much benefit in that regard
Want to be clear about the kitchen line rule since it's confusing
You can be in the kitchen, at any time, for any reason. However, you can't take the ball out of the air while you're in the kitchen - that's a fault. If you are behind the line and volley, but your follow through causes you to step in the kitchen, that's a fault.
Because of this, it's almost never a good idea to stand in the kitchen. If you do step in to get a ball, you'll have to get back to the line asap - otherwise you won't be able to legally return it.
Why do you have to play a tiebreak after wining 2 sets?
i see new pickleball players or former tennis players playing with power and volleys, but very little of the dink game. there isn't much spin in basic pickleball, but there should be a good amount of touch, given the kitchen (no volley zone). the tournament pickleball players are using a good amount of variety for soft/dink shots and power attacking shots. new players, not so much.
The reason is because they haven’t discovered touchtennis yet.
Really want to play pickle ball but can't imagine playing in Scotland with a howling gale present, bad enough tennis🤣🎾.
Aqui no Brasil esse esporte não é praticado. Aqui temos a febre do Brach Tennis.
I would venture a guess that Monfils would be good to great at most sports? 2019 US Open Pickleball men's winner $2,000. 2019 US Open tennis champ Rafa took home $3.85M... Perhaps the tennis people moving to pickleball are the retirees living there in SE Florida. :)
Do u think tennis players that are usta 5.0 the "competitive level " can transition to pro pickleball or no ?? Please answer cus if I can make thousands playing pickleball i basically have no choice but to switch
I don’t know enough about Pickleball to be able to answer that, but my gut feeling is NO for rec level, possibly YES for pro level tennis

While that Gael Monfils story is interesting and probably applies to Tennis vs Paddle Tennis, I feel that a pro tennis player would not have the same results against a pro ping pong player or badminton player. There are just too many differences, even the average player build is different.
Paddle as a sport isn't as big and professional. But Badminton and Table Tennis are. A pro tennis player wouldn't stand any chance
lol, a pro tennis player that tried badminton against a pro player would lose 21-0 / 21-0 , that's not even up to debate.
Ping pong is much much faster than pickleball or paddle tennis. Ping pong skills are very different than tennis Ping Pong has even more spin than tennis and faster due to short distance. Where in Pickleball, everything is flat and slower.
Not for me. I love tennis 🎾
But did you enjoy pickleball, besides the low bending, at least?! Seems like a nice little way to switch things up a little bit.
Pickleball is also probably more attractive to older people, kids, and women, because it requires less mobility, quickness, and strength. The weight of the tennis racquet, the weight and heaviness and hence the intimidation of the tennis ball in flight, the sore fingers, wrists, and forearm from bracing the racquet against that impact: tennis is a violent sport. As for table tennis, there's the overwhelming height and length of the table for little kids, the emphasis on hand-eye coordination, speed, spin, and spin recognition, especially when receiving serves, and the challenges of playing against low friction rubbers (GOD, there's so much spin involved!) and the awkward stroke mechanics second only to tennis, all those things are also a quick turn off for a lot of people.
Thinking of leaving tennis now for pickleball
You're not playing pickleball, you're playing tennis with a pickleball paddle and ball.
Pickleball can be played in a tennis way
Tennis players, even the recreational ones tend not to be inclusive. Go to a local park and watch how more experienced players pretty openly look down on less experienced players. It is pretty easy to see. Perhaps this comes from the fact many learned to play at exclusive referral only country clubs or expensive racket clubs.
come on, its like a B movie version of Tennis
Used to play racquetball. Ball speeds of 150-160 mph not uncommon.
Saved a lot of out balls, there. Dodging high bangers is the first lesson, for a reason.
thats such.a cool story about monfils. I think people are quitting tennis for pickleball. because its just easier
True
Nice video - A lot of my Racquetball friends have gone over to pickleball. He stated that there are no other racquet sports that hit the ball over 100 MPH - From my experience I have played racquetball with players that hit over 140mph. Playing tennis for me is like playing racquetball in slow motion, Pickleball is like racquetball in super slow motion. Probably why Racquetball is dying and Pickleball is growing. Easier to keep the ball in play
the girl shouted the same thing Roger Federer shouts at 2:37! is she swiss?
No but she speaks German
Tennis is too difficult and the barrier to entry is too high for most people. Pickleball is just way more fun for most average folks
Tennis is KING
just played first game with my son!!!! it is so great!!!!
It is a lot of fun

"We can land on the surface of the Sun, but only if we arrive at night!" Joe BimBo
1:55 was a mile out though but sure let's pretend it was in
rule #1...you need to let the return of serve bounce before hitting it... you are demonstrating tennis on a PB court, not PB...master the soft game...
The field is way too narrow, so that there's very little lateral movement and play which makes it boring.
Obviously because they love that infernal Pock! sound & LOVE imparting NO spin at all on the "ball".
Hell no, it's basically like having kids do "invisible jump roping" in schools because they can't jump rope. But, it looks kinda fun...lol
Here in Arizona, I rarely see anyone using the tennis courts. The pickleball courts are regularly full, often with a "Paddle Queue" for the next game. All of the new parks are including plans to include pickleball courts. If you love tennis, good for you and stick with it. The great thing about pickleball though is that it's so much for inviting to new players. In a short time you can become proficient enough to casually play and get exercise. Tennis, on the other hand, takes an extremely long time to develop the proper technique to play well. I'm also not sure why there is such hate on pickleball players from the hard-core tennis crowd. Just look at the comments here. Some people must still be bitter from being made fun of in high school by the football and basketball players......so now they take it out on pickleballers.
