The size of the court and way you play is why Pickleball is so attractive to older people. Less about pure athleticism/speed/power and more about strategy, shot placement, and finesse.
Not only for elder People. I am 26 years old and for me Tennis on a Lay court on my level is very much about running... And since 3 years i am playing Padel which is so much fun to me because of the tactics, strategy and the possibilities and points in general. But i would like to check out pickleball as well, seems to be very fun :)
Do you think you're a better athlete than these two? I'm not sure how you look at this video and not think there is a ton of athleticism in PB singles. Really, pickleball singles is tougher, from a fitness standpoint, than tennis singles. Way less time to catch your breathe between points. There is no second serve, and the next point starts up as soon as the server gets the one ball.
@@PeterCacioppi LOL. Do you play a high level of tennis? The comparison is no where close with endurance and stamina. This is glorified ping pong. A pack a day smoker could excel at pickle ball
@@danmeadowsmusic Did you watch the video? These guys are hauling ass all over. I played high school tennis. I was a 4.0, maybe a 4.5 at my peak. I'm a 4.0 in PB. Pickleball singles is harder than tennis singles for three reasons. 1. There is less downtime between rallies, because there is no second serve and the points reset faster than tennis. 2. The serve isn't weaponized in pickleball. Smashing a service winner isn't particularly tiring to anything other than your shoulder (and of course, the receiver of a service winner barely gets any exercise). 3. The rallies last longer because its easier to play "past balls". That is to say, its easier to wrist flick a ball that is just barely past you back into play. You can see all this if you watch some pickleball videos. Just watch pickleball and tennis side by side, and measure how much time is spent actually playing relative to match time. Pickleball has longer rallies with faster resets and fewer service winners. These are simple facts, not opinions. You might need to watch two 4.0s play pickleball, and then watch two 4.0s play tennis, to really compare. Obviously, tennis pros are amazing at creating long rallies and thus need insane court coverage and fitness. The joke is recreational tennis players might as well be playing a different sport than the pros, and you switch to pickleball to get quality points.
@@PeterCacioppi You conveniently left out the fact that mastering the tennis serve is extremely difficult. In 4.0 tennis breaks of serve are extremely common and service games are much longer because aces are not that common. Is it a weapon when you're talking about John Isner and Kevin Anderson? Yes it is. Regardless, I've watched this video back to back with the FO final of this year, and you if you think that these guys "hauled more ass" than Djokovic and Tsitsipas did, well, I don't really know what to say to you. If you didn't have "quality points" during your 4.5 level tennis matches, I'm sorry, you're probably a 2.5 if none of the points you played were of any quality.
I played Tyson in doubles 8 or 10 years ago and we won in a close three setter and he’s a really good regional semi-pro tennis player. Well, he was. Great athlete. Good for him.
I'd like too see a top tennis player play Pickleball against a top player like Johns just too see how it would go. Someone like Nadal generates so much top spin in tennis, whereas here it's mostly flat shots and underspin. You can hit over the ball but not with major top spin dips I'm aware of.
Theres videos of former tennis pros playing it but as for the top spin dip, Ive played a bit of tennis and it does have the top spin drop (unsure how dramatic though) which i use it for hitting deep on the third shot (serving team has to let the ball bounce on their side after return)
Amazing points. Happy to see the two met at the final. They showed all the skills and strategies needed for the sports. And yes Pickleball is a true sport. when everything else is equal, athleticism decided the outcome.
The sport is growing; give it time. As of this year, it now has 1,600 participants in tournaments across the country. Prize money is only going to go up. This information is from the 2021 US Open men's doubles tournament on CBS.
I'm new to Pickleball, and I was told you're not allowed to hit volleys inside the Kitchen. Watching this game, however, it seems like there were many instances where McGuffin jumped forward and hit volleys (Really close to the net) while in the air before landing past the Kitchen line. So, does this mean we can in fact hit volleys very close to the net as long as our feet land *After* we've hit the shot? Maybe I'm misunderstanding this altogether. Any help / insight would be much appreciated!
This game needs more power and athleticism- rid the no volley zone and for got sakes slide on this court. These guys are super slow compared to someone like Djokovich
I played against Tyson about 9 years ago when he was a semi-pro and man was he good then! If I knew he was gonna be this big I would have got his autograph! LOL!!!! tee hee
My suggestion to make singles more exciting is that the serve-volley rule and kitchen rule are fine for doubles. For singles, just let them play. People want to see the top athletes being top athletes instead of engaging in dinkfests.
I don't understand why there is not more long game in pro-pickleball. Why don't these guys try some hard backhand shots up the line? There were so many instances here where the entire side was open and the other guy was playing net, but instead he chose a drop-shot. I feel like if a pro tennis player actually tried to play this, they would wipe the floor because of there ability to place the deep-ball.
4:15 is a perfect example. Dude in white literally had the entire right side open. But chose a drop shot instead of putting even a little more force behind the ball and getting it deep to the baseline. Why? It just seems like for some reason it's customary for these dudes to keep the ball near the spike line. There's so much more court to utilize!
It’s a super hard shot to go from moving forward to a lateral movement, to bending low and to hitting a backhand flick up the line. The other thing is if the ball is low and you don’t hit it perfect the other person will just smash it.
@@DanLoneyYeh I got that. But again, just even the most menial training in tennis allows you to do this. And it works! Of course pickleball and tennis are different sports, but the core mechanics are exactly the same - I see too much if “just trying to get my paddle on the ball” and not enough aiming your shots with precision
Does the PB paddles have like a "sticky" rubber like ping pong paddles do? Just wondering how much spin can be generated? We play some serious ping pong. My buddy keeps telline me I need to try PB because I would be decent at it since I am decent at ping pong
Tbh, this looks well easy, if I transferred from tennis to pickle ball I would be able to do this, compared to pros in tennis, it actually looks hard and that they are skilled. To me, all pickleball looks the same.
@@evanfridinger999 You think? I've played both. Federer is fast, moves well, has tremendous skill, and undoubtedly would make a fine Pickleball player, but there are differences between the games that out of the box could make it difficult to beat Johns or McGuffin. I've played some very good tennis players, and they do make good Pickleball players, but they will tell you that while some skills are similar, others are different.
@@paflyfish I think if you give him a month or two of straight pickle ball practice time he would be able to beat these people mainly because the ball is so much slower that he would just be able to beat them even if he had no strategy (which he does have).
@@Collier-gy2ni You are correct that in general the ball is slower in Pickleball, at least much of the time. Most of the game is won at the kitchen line or non volley zone. Players are very close, so the ball can come back quickly when smashed. Reflexes for hard, but also very soft returns, matters. Regarding having no strategy I don't think Federer could win without that. If you've played Pickleball there is actually quite a bit of strategy on where and how to hit the ball. A tennis racket has strings and a pickle ball racquet does not. The pressure for the two differs. I play tennis and pickleball. I often have to remind myself to move away from the ball in tennis. Beating Johns or McGuffin? I don't know about that in a few months. These guys have honed their games and it's taken some time. No doubt though that Federer would kick my butt in a short time.
You can lob it but in upper level tournaments it's generally not recommended because if you're not ready for the return you'll get cooked and the whole other side is open in singles.
For serves: it has to be underhand, hit below the waist. Rules aren't set in stone. A miss is detramential. Some players do add lots of spin which makes it crazy difficult. Don't know why others don't, from my knowledge no rules ban it. For lobs: not very effective when all the top guys are over 6 feet. I mean the court is only a bit deeper than the serve boxes in tennis. And usually lobs in tennis you are trying to hit BACK of the court otherwise you get smashed on.
I'm sorry the finesse, sportsmanship and talent of Ben Johns outdoes the theatrics, yelling and grandstanding of Tyson McGuffin any day!!! Congrats Ben!!!!
Why do some of you think you're sharing groundbreaking information when you enlighten us on how the top pickleball players don't have the athleticism nor skill of the top tennis players? Nobody is trying to convince Carlos Alcaraz to ditch his tennis career for this. But not everybody in life is Carlos Alcaraz nor 127 others worthy of challenging him. That's where pickleball comes in. That's where a top-500 or top-1000 tennis player who knows he's hit his ceiling can find an outlet where he can be a champion in his own way.
I’m trying to understand what sets them apart from others..? Trying to not sound ignorant… But I’ve played with so many people that I swear have just as good of a game as these guys.
The sport is growing; give it time. As of this year, it now has 1,600 participants in tournaments across the country. Prize money is only going to go up. This information is from the 2021 US Open men's doubles tournament on CBS.
I’ve played ALL racquet sports at a reasonable level, and pickleball is my all time favorite. Where’s Dustin Brown? He’s being channeled by both these guys
Wasn’t a fan of pickle ball in the beginning, but now I think it is really fantastic that a sport has been developed that any age can play that requires very little talent to enjoy and be competitive with even at higher levels, while combining a reasonable level of fitness and activity at every level. One can swing away fairly robustly and the ball just about always stays in play and is playable in return. After playing all the racquet sports at a very high levels I get the draw of pickle ball now. Just wish the powers that be would find a way to rid the sport of the horrible “PONKING” noise, that drives home owners and tennis players and anyone walking by can’t stand. Must be and easy fix to adjust ball and paddle with different materials to get similar playability.
Sorry -- long-time tennis player (i.e., juniors, Collegiate D1 play, etc., etc.) here. I cannot abide this sport. And my anus puckers every time I go out to play and hear that horrible plastic-y clanking coming from across the way. The only good news I have for everyone here on this channel is that this, like racquetball in the 80s, is just a fad. People still want to see the beauty and speed of the Djokovic-es (Djokovici?), the Nadals, the Federers, rather than two moderately talented tennis failures plonking away at a whiffle ball. Finally -- the worst thing about this sport? The "kitchen" rule. It's bad enough that serve-and-volley has died a natural death in the real sport.
It is possible to hit drives from the baseline of the court if you don't hit the ball too high. As you approach the net you increase the possibility of hitting the ball out since the court is so small. Players have also gotten very quick at returning hard shots and deflecting them. The game is won at the kitchen line, the area from the net behind the line that is 7 feet deep on both sides. You don't want your opponent to hit down on the ball, as a likely smash will occur, so players try to use topspin and hit the ball so that it drops and bounces below the net, or 'drop shots.' That way your opponent has to hit up on the ball and a smash is less likely, as the ball will often go into the net, or out if hit too hard. That is one difficulty that tennis players sometimes encounter. They are used to driving the ball from the back of the court with a long swing. You want to get to the kitchen line and dominate the court as quickly as possible, especially in doubles, as most often played. The paddle should meet the ball in front of you and with a shorter swing than tennis. When a ball gets too high and a shoot out begins with the toes of the players only 14 feet across, you have to recover quickly to hit forehand and backhand.
It’s not really a power sport. The ball barely bounces and there isn’t much spin involved so consequently it’s more of a touch/finesse sport where you’re trying to maintain position close to the net to work the angles.
There’s a legal serve involving dropping the ball and making contact after the bounce. With this method, you’re allowed to slice the ball/hit it any way you want without the mechanical limitations of the traditional serve you see these guys doing
Yes, it is legal. When he jumps past the kitchen line, he is outside the court. It is legal to hit the ball in front of the kitchen line so long as you are standing outside the court.
Now we all know how John Isner is feeling on a Tennis Court

And my anus puckers every time I go out to play and hear that horrible plastic-y clanking coming from across the way. The only good news I have for everyone here on this channel is that this, like racquetball in the 80s, is just a fad. People still want to see the beauty and speed of the Djokovic-es (Djokovici?), the Nadals, the Federers, rather than two moderately talented tennis failures plonking away at a whiffle ball.
Finally -- the worst thing about this sport? The "kitchen" rule. It's bad enough that serve-and-volley has died a natural death in the real sport.
@@josephbarbarie692 yeah, well i can't stand all the grunting in tennis. get over yourself
@Tom R the rallies would only last 2-3 shots if that were the case
why they don't simply smash the ball when approaching to the net??
It is possible to hit drives from the baseline of the court if you don't hit the ball too high. As you approach the net you increase the possibility of hitting the ball out since the court is so small. Players have also gotten very quick at returning hard shots and deflecting them. The game is won at the kitchen line, the area from the net behind the line that is 7 feet deep on both sides. You don't want your opponent to hit down on the ball, as a likely smash will occur, so players try to use topspin and hit the ball so that it drops and bounces below the net, or 'drop shots.' That way your opponent has to hit up on the ball and a smash is less likely, as the ball will often go into the net, or out if hit too hard. That is one difficulty that tennis players sometimes encounter. They are used to driving the ball from the back of the court with a long swing. You want to get to the kitchen line and dominate the court as quickly as possible, especially in doubles, as most often played. The paddle should meet the ball in front of you and with a shorter swing than tennis. When a ball gets too high and a shoot out begins with the toes of the players only 14 feet across, you have to recover quickly to hit forehand and backhand.
Is this tennis for kids or something
Can anyone explain why at 2:22 that it was legal for pink guy to step into the NVZ ?
his feet didn't touch the NVZ. He went over it and landed off court so that could be it.
@@Lijearion after that moment his feet are in the nvz
so there are basically no baseline rallys
It’s not really a power sport. The ball barely bounces and there isn’t much spin involved so consequently it’s more of a touch/finesse sport where you’re trying to maintain position close to the net to work the angles.
If 2 players want yes
Do they have Hawkeye…not convinced at 1:33 that volley was totally legal?
I wanna try this
Hey I thot tournament rules said contestants can't weigh in under 200lbs
Why, why?
no power no athleticism no strategy neither hard hitting shots nor tricky shots....only placement....should be declared as a centenarian sport
They look like they're playing in slow motion
The hardest thing her is the short racket.
Tennis more athleticism, pong more fun, pickle in between
you can't really do much with the serve. Can you not put slice on the ball?
There’s a legal serve involving dropping the ball and making contact after the bounce. With this method, you’re allowed to slice the ball/hit it any way you want without the mechanical limitations of the traditional serve you see these guys doing
The top 2 singles players in the game? Seriously?
Tyson McGuffin! I am your big fan!
Tennis should go back to 1970s wood rackets, so it would be like this, which is much more interesting to watch!
Why?
That is a very underpaid win lol. Professional should never receive so little
Is the volley at 2:11 legal? He volleyed and then jumped past the kitchen line. I think that's against the rules.
Yes, it is legal. When he jumps past the kitchen line, he is outside the court. It is legal to hit the ball in front of the kitchen line so long as you are standing outside the court.
@@drewhaslam3209 Thanks for explaining!
The difference between pickleball pros and former high level tennis players that have played once is minimal
