I played tournament ping pong, but In all honesty, it's been a bit of a hindrance. The form hasn't translated well. I impulsively try to put chopping backspin on shots from the baseline, try to hit forehand loops in TT style, etc. I'm having to unlearn some things. I did get told that I have a good natural pickleball serve, though. But that deep topspin serve is NOTHING like the short, heavy backspin serve I trained myself to hit in TT. If I hit the same shirt of serve back when I was playing TT, I'd be destroyed with my opponent's second ball attack. So basically, anting that was to my profit is more-or-less a loss in this new sport.
I also played tournament TT before playing PB. yeah, things to forget - chop, spiny serves and blocking off lopps. But I've found that if you have a great forehand loop that is pretty much the same motion as a serve. Also a backhand punch if you have that is perfect for volleys. I think slow topspins can be very effective for mid-range/short balls. So some parallels but a lot isn't.
Hilarious videos man. Really enjoying the content. Looking forward to more!!

keep it comin
You need the part where we see who wins! Would be funny if f1 or Steve won
Found the 3 pickleball players 😆
How does this only have 163 views. Criminally low.
Because it's not funny, runs way too long, and has an ending that doesn't make sense.
Thanks for putting tennis arrogance back in its place
