Played tennis from 1972 to 1984 , which is so hard on the lower body , ping pong played 30 yrs , tough with poor eyesight , at age 62 and doing Triathlons since 1985 , this looks like better exercise than golf and lower impact than tennis . Always look for the positive , smaller slower version and healthier than tennis . Looks like something that came from a video game . Nice creation of a simple game .👍
I did off road triathlons for ten years. You need to build muscle at your age. Body building is healthier for your heart.... I promise I got afib from triathlons but it is now fixed. I also play pickleball and am leading in two leagues.
'Keyboard warrior?'..I'll challenge you to ANY raquet sport, and I have NO experience at Pickleball. I can move like a 40 year old, I'm right here in the Phoenix area. I'll put a hundred down just for 'fun'.
@@zachcarmichael699 I can vouch for what you said, I'm transitioning from Tennis to Pickleball and the strokes, form and majority of things may be similar in nature.

Tennis is a very beautiful sport if you understand the science of probability. Paddleball uses a "side out" scoring system instead of Tennis's "rally scoring" system. "Side out" scoring doesn't respect the beauty of randomized probability. Your score isn't guaranteed to go up when you win a point. It's crazy! It's like winning the lottery, but not getting any money!
As a lifelong tennis player, I had serious doubts about pickleball. Once I played it, I enjoyed it and I feel it adds a new dimension to my tennis game and vice versa.
Ex Table Tennis players also make better Pickleballers, better footwork, raquet prep (hate the wimpy term 'paddle') court speed, fitter, better hand/eye cordination. Robert at 67.
I love watching these and pointing out shots they could've made or ones that I would've made in their place, despite the fact that I'm far inferior to them in skill. Makes me feel like I'm good at the game
Wow memories. My dad ran a rec center in fort Myers, and they had pickelball night. Loved playing, a lot of older folks do, don’t blame them. Didn’t know it was this legitimate. Time to play again, I need a hobby.
@@headunits I re-read your question. Given a few months of practice a top athlete who is coachable could make the transition. I was recalling a few games where I, a mediocre PB player played a highly rated tennis player who was playing PB for the first time. He basically beat himself hitting balls long and couldn't handle the dinking game.
I don't know of their actual level, but some local highly regarded tennis players that tried out pickleball had some superior athleticism to our local pickleball players. This helped a lot. But they wanted to stick to tennis. I think if they stuck to pickleball they probably would be kicking butt in lets say 4-6 months. I've seen a lot of people that is said to be high level racquetball players , or former racquetball champs play pickleball. They definitely bring a lot of talent to the court, but they are pretty miserable at trying the soft game. They always want to try to over power you. One guy that plays where we play was a serious squash player, and he puts the most ridiculous spin on almost every shot. I seen another guy he was kind of new, but he is a soccer goalie. That guy was ridiculously fast at the net.
Seriously, all the keyboard warriors on here, who have never played, dishing out the criticism like they know. I'd challenge any of these trolls to score even 1 point on either of these guys lol
Why so many negative comments about Pickleball ?. .....I respect everyone playing whatever sport they like.... Pickleball is so popular because a.It is less strenuous on the body than Tennis. b.It is probably the most Social of all sports. c.All ages and genders can play with each other......PICKLEBALL IS THE FUTURE....... Please note. The Lady commentator Joanne Russell was a top WORLD CLASS TENNIS PLAYER. I too played 5 Wimbledon Championships........ Best Wishes to all. John.
lmao, i just clicked on ure profile to see if you were actually telling the truth and........... well this speaks for itself. your liked videos history... damn. just wow...
I play ping pong and tennis and have picked up pickleball recently and if anyone of you have not played the game than stop bashing it and give it a try...you might be surprised!!! This is just as a REAL SPORT as Curling or Badminton is
I know! I serve and hit even harder than these guys but I also have a lot of touch. I can vary my shots. Not disrespecting these two great players but I can hit very hard with topspin. Maybe my tennis background helps.
@@ChowDownDetroit Right?! I play against club players here who hit twice as hard. I even hit harder but I hit with a lot of spin so my shot always land towards the baseline and I have a strong net game. My tennis coach keeps telling me to go pro in pickleball but I don't know. I love it but I just find the pickleball community to be really dishonest unlike the tennis community I play in.
@@ChowDownDetroit I was thinking the same. I know when to put the ball away and with good placement. I guess I really have a tennis player's mentality but I have the touch from years of playing and the experience from table tennis. Also, it'd be nice to hit with you!
I just started playing this game a week ago and it is fun! I'm adapting quickly because I used to play a lot of ping pong and always used a lot of English, you can use it in this game too.
I learned about Pickleball about a year ago. Been wanting to learn how to play since I partially tore my achilles playing racquetball this past March. My tennis I think is over because of that injury. I want to get back on the court but doing something a little slower. This is my first time watching a Pickleball singles match. I have never played Pickleball before. I come from a tennis background. I am going to learn how to play next week. What is interesting about watching singles Pickleball is that it is so much like tennis....the volleys, ball placement and patience not to mention the much smaller court, the weird scoring (like volleyball) and using paddles instead of rackets, wiffle type balls instead of green fuzzy bouncy balls that I am used to. I noticed you only get one chance to get your serve in. It is fun to watch especially the mixed doubles. I am excited to learn this game. It is extremely popular in the Atlanta metro area. I live in rural Georgia, where it is slowly catching on. I will be returning to watch matches to help my game, strategize and idea for a paddle once I get better at it.
Yep, kinda like volleyball. A lot of rules are there to make the match go longer, ie scoring, double bounce on serve, and the kitchen. IMO, those three keep this on a casual game level.
@@jasondefelice2710 you think ping pong is easy? Join the varsity like me and try to go pro see if you can. Apparently you don't know how fast of thinking and reaction and consistent in technique. You go to Asia? I live in Asia. You one told me ping pong like pickle ball. Softly rallied
To have fun, take a racquetball racket, and a old tennis ball. Play singles with a friend, and no coming to net( only baseline). And only the blue area is in bounds. The red ,close to net , is out.
I just barely started pickleball. I like that it's more interactive than tennis. It's great for people to be active. People bag any new game that comes out. If it's easy to play, then win money playing. Other and be happy that not everyone likes the same shit.
This is cool. My home has a large cement covered area that the prior owner put in and used for RV parking. We don’t have an RV, I wonder how hard it would be to put in a pickle ball net and draw or paint the lines.
I play a fair bit of tennis, so I'm sure the skills would be easily transferable(somewhat). One question, when you return serve, is it mandatory for the returner to attack the net immediately?
It is not mandatory, but if you can hit an accurate return that is deep in the court, it is highly recommended to approach the net line. If your return is less than ideal, or short, then approaching the net sets up your opponent's passing shot in singles.
Because over half the ball was over the line at the point-of-contact, a clear sign that the point of the ball touched out-of-bounds. That was a close call, but the line judge, main referee, and Ben Johns all had that right.
@@gabrielfrench8382 tough call. If the ball physically touches the line in any way, it is in. However, if it seems to graze the line, the actual point of contact of ball and ground may be fully out of bounds, then it is correct. Hard to tell from our angle
@@gregoryprice6968 I think refs should make calls the same way players should--if there's any doubt, if it's too close to call, or if there's second-guessing, call it in. With that said though, these refs have a great look at the ball, a better view than we can see in the videos.
I mean I certainly love playing it, I think it’s fun and all, but if I asked someone what they do for a living and they said that they were an on tour pickleball pro I don’t know if I would be able to hold back my laughter
Player only score when they win their service. If you are the receiver, you only win point to get the serve. Really stupid. Just try to learn tennis or ping pong. Lot better than this player to wish to be in the real pro sport.
Bruce L both of them are tennis players. One of them won 2 state championships, and did wrestling. The appeal for pickleball is its easy to pick and play, but harder to be great. Well that’s like anything.
It's great how these younger players are super agile and can block nearly every third-shot drive. After reviewing the third-shot drives that were effective for passing shot winners, it seems that the only reason they were able to pass their opponent was because the opponent was slightly late (just a fraction of a second) getting to the kitchen line. Check out Ben at 13:56. I bet that if he sprinted to the kitchen after his return then he would have had just enough time to properly balance himself and split step, which (in my opinion) would have given him the time and speed needed to cutoff Tyson's passing shot. Nearly the same story every time a third-shot drive was hit for a winner. Lesson learned - sprint to the kitchen line after every return to gain the time needed to balance yourself and generate explosive lateral movement to give yourself an extra six inches to block the passing shot that would land on or near the sideline.
@@andrewkoines6389 yeah, they’d just get picked apart. The reason why it seems so boring is because high level players are so good at the net that playing off the baseline doesn’t win. So it becomes a dink chess match which makes people think it’s easier than it really is. Baseline rallies with friends smashing the ball all over is fun though. Heck of a workout.
This is basically tennis brought back from 20's, 30's decades of last century, but played on mini courts...This is how i would have imagined Don Budge or Bill Tilden to be playing LOL
Budge and Tilden were both great athletes who could have competed in the ATP today if they grew up playing with modern equipment, but I take your meaning. The wooden tennis rackets were unforgiving and made tennis more about finesse compared to today's power game. Pickleball does the same thing. The racket surface limits spin and the size of the court and kitchen also limits speed, in most cases, so to be consistent, the play is necessarily more like touch net tennis. Excellent athleticism and speed will give you an advantage in any sport, but not as much in pickleball as in modern tennis. Good hand to eye coordination and a decent amount of agility will take you a long way in pickeball.
Some are watching real tennis match on their phones. Honnestly i watch this before going to sleep...so boring to follow these guys and keep doin it more than 1 minute !
There are a lot of them in amateur games. It’s fun to rip the ball and run all over playing with friends. But at high levels it’s won near the net. The game looks a lot different when it’s newer players.
I have played both tennis and table tennis competitively and neither of them can compare with pickleball. In the valley where I live, there have been 10+ new pickleball courts installed in the last 18 months and are always packed. Meanwhile the tennis courts are gathering cobwebs.
@@jpvn2015 In tennis was number 1 singles in my high school and did well in several tournaments. I was probably what would be considered a 4.0 back then. In table tennis, I have placed in some local tournaments but I never received a USATT rating. I always get a chuckle at hot shot tennis players that come in and think they are immediately going to dominate at pickleball and get their backsides handed to them by a retired couple.
A whiffle ball responds aggressively to spin, but the hard flat paddles dont allow much use of that :/ I'd be interesting to see this with tacky paddles.
The reason I hate this game is the "kitchen" rule. Sorry, and it may have something with the way I play normal (or non-disability) tennis -- that is, serve-and-volley. Imagine, if you will, an NBA in which the "slam dunk" (or any above-the-rim play) was declared illegal? BTW -- there is another tennis variant, played in Latin America and Spain, called "Padel", which is simply amazing. Those guys are athletes. This is like watching formula racing at 40 mph.
I know that Doubles is the most competitive category when it comes to pickleball, and that's why their gold medal matches were shown live on CBS Sports, but if they're willing to show tennis Singles then they should be willing to show these too. Though I will say, Tyson McGuffin, please have more etiquette on the court...
Just found out. Looks like 3rd place was Joey Farias against Collin Johns (older brother of Ben and ranked 978 in the ATP). Not sure why that couldn't be filmed but all the doubles consolation championship matches are on here. Just because more people play doubles does not mean that more people want to watch it. The same holds true in the other racket sports.

Pickleball is for people who aren't good enough to play tennis.
I think serve and strokes are not that fast on the video, if we recorded ourselves it would look much slower then we think...and we would look much older and overweight too...LOL It is same with tennis...live is incredible fast...
I think in pickleball, they should change the rule so that the ball MUST bounce, just like in ping pong. I want to see them rally, not coming up to volley.
as a tennis player, table tennis player, and racquetball player, i find this really lame and uninteresting. it's like paddle tennis without the chicken wire. but what the hell, if someone wants to do this, and none of my tax dollars are being used to fund it, knock yourself out.
I am state tennis champion of one of the small state of india which is j and k and in my state their is very little competion in my view because when ever I play national tournament I loose in 2or 3rd round max but the manner in which they r playing I am dam sure if I will play for 15 days this game j will beat anyone in the world
Yeah, must be. I know I watched this already, and I remember some of the comments' And I almost always hit like or dislike so I know if I watched the video already or not. This must be a re-upload. It was one of the recent videos that had bad editing. They changed the camera angle when the ball was hit and you couldn't see what the ball did. Maybe they fixed those errors.
I’ll be completely honest, this is the first time in my life hearing of pickle ball
pickball is fun ngl
That means you are a normal person with adequate life.
고추에 바람 불면?조세 호 so people that knew pickle ball more than 1 year are weird?

So it becomes a dink chess match which makes people think it’s easier than it really is. Baseline rallies with friends smashing the ball all over is fun though. Heck of a workout.
The announcers talk as if this is a real sport😄
Clearly you've never played
This is basically tennis brought back from 20's, 30's decades of last century, but played on mini courts...This is how i would have imagined Don Budge or Bill Tilden to be playing LOL
Budge and Tilden were both great athletes who could have competed in the ATP today if they grew up playing with modern equipment, but I take your meaning. The wooden tennis rackets were unforgiving and made tennis more about finesse compared to today's power game. Pickleball does the same thing. The racket surface limits spin and the size of the court and kitchen also limits speed, in most cases, so to be consistent, the play is necessarily more like touch net tennis. Excellent athleticism and speed will give you an advantage in any sport, but not as much in pickleball as in modern tennis. Good hand to eye coordination and a decent amount of agility will take you a long way in pickeball.
When I hear the commentators I picture the ones from pitch perfect
Tyson looks so relaxed and tactical. Why does he play so much better in single than in double?
Some are watching real tennis match on their phones. Honnestly i watch this before going to sleep...so boring to follow these guys and keep doin it more than 1 minute !
Bro this does not pass the vibe check.
25:00 Pickleball... powered by leg cramps!
It was very nice during the technical difficulties.
Is there no backcourt play in this sport? Baseline rallies?
There are a lot of them in amateur games. It’s fun to rip the ball and run all over playing with friends. But at high levels it’s won near the net. The game looks a lot different when it’s newer players.
This is a backyard game; we really need this as a sport
Pickleball scorekeeping can be hard. Try the ScoreBand PLAY scorekeeping watch to simplify and focus.
What is this sheet? Ridiculus
when you can't play ping pong or tennis
I have played both tennis and table tennis competitively and neither of them can compare with pickleball. In the valley where I live, there have been 10+ new pickleball courts installed in the last 18 months and are always packed. Meanwhile the tennis courts are gathering cobwebs.
@@danhoen4129 What is your USATT rating?
@@danhoen4129 loser
@@k1r1024 don't be upset at me that people would rather play a sport with "pickle" in it's name. Lolz
@@jpvn2015 In tennis was number 1 singles in my high school and did well in several tournaments. I was probably what would be considered a 4.0 back then. In table tennis, I have placed in some local tournaments but I never received a USATT rating. I always get a chuckle at hot shot tennis players that come in and think they are immediately going to dominate at pickleball and get their backsides handed to them by a retired couple.
Is overhand illegal?
The size of the court is looks like badminton. I'm keen to try
So is there a reason they don’t just slam the ball ?
can u put much spin on the ball in this kind of sport? dont seem like you could being the paddles are not like tennis ones.
A whiffle ball responds aggressively to spin, but the hard flat paddles dont allow much use of that :/
I'd be interesting to see this with tacky paddles.
When you have to run to get your ball😂
Why do they hit it so slow to each other?
Where is pickle in this game?
That's the prize - a jar of pickles. It's all they could afford and deserve
Imagine working hard and building up your oratory skills only to be commentating pickleball
For real. Must not have worked hard enough.
Lol
Most of the commentators are players, themselves.
Why don't they it harder ground strokes?
Was the ball in? Fast-forward to 8:47
The reason I hate this game is the "kitchen" rule. Sorry, and it may have something with the way I play normal (or non-disability) tennis -- that is, serve-and-volley.
Imagine, if you will, an NBA in which the "slam dunk" (or any above-the-rim play) was declared illegal?
BTW -- there is another tennis variant, played in Latin America and Spain, called "Padel", which is simply amazing. Those guys are athletes. This is like watching formula racing at 40 mph.
I've never played this but looks like it values shot placement over powerful strokes, wouldn't mind trying it.
I know that Doubles is the most competitive category when it comes to pickleball, and that's why their gold medal matches were shown live on CBS Sports, but if they're willing to show tennis Singles then they should be willing to show these too. Though I will say, Tyson McGuffin, please have more etiquette on the court...
When table tennis marry with tennis, this is what you got
And divorced with badminton hahaha
Yeah pickleball is their brainchild ;)
freedom peneur that is too funny. And the mother in-law is a racket 😂
How is mcguffins already so sweaty after 10 points
I'm usually drenched after about 5-10 minutes playing. If you're actually putting in the effort and moving your feet, it's intense.
no u no u no u no u no u no u
Who took 3rd and 4th in this tournament (singles obviously)?
Just found out. Looks like 3rd place was Joey Farias against Collin Johns (older brother of Ben and ranked 978 in the ATP). Not sure why that couldn't be filmed but all the doubles consolation championship matches are on here. Just because more people play doubles does not mean that more people want to watch it. The same holds true in the other racket sports.
Pickleball is for people who aren't good enough to play tennis.
many of these players have tennis background with mix of table tennis.
Trolling on RUclips is for people not good enough to have a fulfilling life.
This is like Tennis+Badminton+Table Tennis mix. Why people would watch this over other 3 much more dynamic and skillful sports lol.
ahhh yess.... the brief period of time when everyone
thought tyson mcguffin was the best player in the world.
Does anyone know the brand of shorts and shirt Tyson is wearing?
It was bought in the little boys section I know that
Looks very cool though I prefer touchtennis
Leave the commentary out !
Tennis? Less running ? Hmm? 🤔
Yeah I’m confused, why has this been uploaded so many times?
At 33:32, big yawn by Ben Johns on the podium. LOL!
As a tennis player watching this im thinking ehy dont they hit normal flat or slice serve i played it like normal tennis and it was just fine
I think serve and strokes are not that fast on the video, if we recorded ourselves it would look much slower then we think...and we would look much older and overweight too...LOL It is same with tennis...live is incredible fast...
this is the leval of pickal ball,
I think in pickleball, they should change the rule so that the ball MUST bounce, just like in ping pong. I want to see them rally, not coming up to volley.
First time seeing this and my last time seeing this.
as a tennis player, table tennis player, and racquetball player, i find this really lame and uninteresting. it's like paddle tennis without the chicken wire. but what the hell, if someone wants to do this, and none of my tax dollars are being used to fund it, knock yourself out.
Chuck Cornelius if you don’t like it - why are you all watching. Go back to watching NASCAR
Try playing a game with some high -level players and then come back here.
Like you, I play the three sports you mentioned. I also like pickleball and am looking forward to playing in tournaments.
Spectators are busy eating and socializing. Not many actually watching the match.
I play and must say I’m not impressed at all with their play.
Until you get on the court with them and find out they'd probably wipe the floor with you.
this is hard to watch
I am state tennis champion of one of the small state of india which is j and k and in my state their is very little competion in my view because when ever I play national tournament I loose in 2or 3rd round max but the manner in which they r playing I am dam sure if I will play for 15 days this game j will beat anyone in the world
Make pickleball more competitive
Re upload?
Yeah, must be. I know I watched this already, and I remember some of the comments' And I almost always hit like or dislike so I know if I watched the video already or not. This must be a re-upload. It was one of the recent videos that had bad editing. They changed the camera angle when the ball was hit and you couldn't see what the ball did. Maybe they fixed those errors.
holy shit i thought this was an ad lol
That one cross court shot at about 12:00 was out big blown call horrible refs.
