It’s not easy but tennis gives an athletic advantage, especially in singles, I played tennis before playing pickleball. I’m much more active in going after the ball, faster in reaction and just speed in general, and more stamina. You also have more general knowledge of the game already, for example you don’t mindlessly hit the ball like a beginner would, you understand the importance of placements of your shots off the bat
You’re not entirely right but yeah I just started and I’m ahead of basically everyone who I’ve played, struggling against 5.0 and better players, strategy is a little different and the mechanics are a little off but you pick it up real quick. It’s fun asf
I agree visually it’s not pleasing playing. It is a little different. It’s more fun, but at the same time I wish people would love to LOB MORE and push the player back off the kitchen.

Just like watching tennis’ baseline swatting if you don’t know enough to follow what is actually happening in the dinking. But in PB the mistake in a dink battle is punished in micro-seconds.

These points with dink wars in the kitchen are an example of why I'm gonna stick to racquetball and golf. No need to hate on me. We all are allowed to have preferences...
I play pickleball with some racquetball players. They love it! Pickleball looks dumb but is really fun to play, and racquetball carries over well so you can jump into intermediate play right away, which is really fun
No ones going to hate on you for saying you prefer some other sports, everyone is different and prefer different things. Hating is reserved for the tennis idiots coming in and insisting that tennis is the only real sport and anything else is for kids and people that can't master tennis.
Don’t knock it unless you’ve tried it against someone good. The little soft hits are tactical. They are called dinks, and they are baiting out the kind of ball you want, which you see when the orange guy strikes. These pros would demolish you or I

The unnecessarily long dinking battles are the only annoying part of an otherwise super fun game. I lob the ball to the back court whenever I sense a long dinking battle coming. Helps to get the action going again.
so why you don't try another sport? I don't say tennis but you have padel wich is funnier. Honestly I don't understand the existence of this sport when you have better options that doesn't have the problem you mentioned
Im doing the opposite. Started with pickleball and I'm getting into tennis. Both are fun and I'm getting major cardio and aggressiveness with tennis that can transfer back to pickleball
As someone who plays tennis, it hurt me, on an mental level, to see the just barely dink it over the net, no top spin, no back spin, no power, no placement, just on an on and on. I know that that’s the play style in pickleball, but it’s like listening to a tone deaf person sing. Every part of me is just wants them to snack it over the net instead of barely tap it over. I like to play pickleball, but this is just ridiculous.
It's great playing against tennis players at pickleball, you just give them mid court balls that are low around their feet whenever possible. They literally can't help themselves trying to hit some sort of controlled topspin drive, which inevitably means it is nicely above the level of the net as it reaches you on the other side and you can volley it away for a winner. It takes a good while for them to work out that they just can't play tennis shots in many situations.
It came up in my feed. I was curious to know why anyone would bother. Just as I thought, not very exciting! Tennis a far, far better game. And the noise of the ball phew!
It's inevitable, enough people get interested in a sport and they will want to watch the top competitions. Once a lot of people are watching then in flows advertising money and ticket sales money and that will be paid to the top players to ensure they turn up at your competition and help perpetuate that cycle. Pro sports are only pro sports because they have an audience that generates money from events. It in no way relates to the actual validity of the sport as something worthy of paying people to do. Having said that I don't see why you would say PB shouldn't be a pro sport anyway. It seems as valid as an other racketsport.
You can’t blast the ball at your opponent whenever you feel like it. You have to know when to. When you see them hitting the ball very softly it’s too avoid hitting the ball too high because if you do, your opponent will start getting aggressive which puts you at a disadvantage
Think about it. If you try to slam a low dunk you’re either going to hit the net or not be able to hit it hard enough and you’ll give your opponent a free slam that’s twice as hard. It’s basic raquette sport strategy man.
I started playing pickleball so that I could play a sport with my fiancee, she isn't athletic and I've played tennis for 20 years, so yes, it is great for people who aren't athletic enough for tennis.
As a d1 tennis player I dont see u everyone hates on pickle ball. I cant play tennis w friends or family who have no experience but I can go out and have fun w anyone on a pickle ball court. I still think its j a worse version of padel and america should start building padel courts but it’s a fun sport
Because some people feel like they have something to prove when they see a similar sport with a lower skill barrier instead of just acknowledging that some sports are more accessible for the average person
That's a pretty good take on it. Tennis is harder to reach a level where you can play something resembling a proper game, probably just because the racket is bigger and the swing and timing therefore harder to get right. That doesn't mean a decent pickleball player, playing socially with new players, will get any more competition out of it than you would playing low level tennis players. I think PB has some fairly unique tactics for a racketsport, which for me makes it interesting. Padel is definitely cool, but tactically feels slightly more a cross between tennis and squash than something totally different.
@@mattc3581 thats fair enough. the kitchen provides a new technical aspect, i'm just not a big fan of it. also the no serve and volley rule always trips me up but other than that I always have a good time
Lmao everyone asking about why they dinked for so long and the shortest answer is: a well placed dink (all until the last) cannot be attacked without the ball going out, so you would just lose lmao, maybe you should try it if you think it's easy, it's not

@@rainman0007 tennis actually takes more skill and takes longer to train for than MMA… I’m a college tennis player who is also a black belt in jujitsu, you shouldn’t talk about things you know nothing about. By the way, pickle ball is not a sport, it’s a game like horseshoes.
@kingtrawal says the guy who's only versed in one aspect of mma, muay thai and wrestling have produced far more mma champions than jiu-jitsu, so maybe don't talk about things you don't know...🤡🤡🤡
They're loading it with backspin.. The only way to return it effectively is with another backspin shot or else it shoots right into the net.. At least this is how it works with table tennis, never played pickle ball but a similar volley occurs until someone returns it slightly too high to allow a spike like what happened in this vid.

I’m impressed by the raw athleticism displayed. Speed, power and agility combined with elite hand eye coordination. Wait, I think that’s called tennis.
To be fair the quick reactions and speedy hand eye coordination on the volleys is far more required in pickleball than it is in tennis.
It should be illegal to buy a pickle ball racquet under the age of 50.
Racquets have strings.
@@pequodexpressthey not that bright
They’re called paddles. 🙄
All these replies from those who cant play tennis. Let the old folks play this game you fat fuxs! Facts!
I feel like this sport is so boring to watch but will probably be the most fun and satisfying sport to play.
I think I fell asleep midway....😩
So what's the differe2nce between this and tennis?
This was Tennis made for seniors (I’m not making a joke on how boring it is. It was literally made for people in retirement homes)
Just as racquetball is the Americanized, easier, and dumber version of squash, pickleball is essentially the Americanized, easier, and dumber version of a cross between ping-pong and badminton...
Lovely commentary from someone who has probably never played and of those in their life, stick to your crumpets sad old loser
This is a game that must be played while all players are intoxicated.
When tennis requires too much skill, you get pickleball
Facts😂
Lol there will always be snobs and haters. And people who play tennis are those who aren't athletic and brave enough to train in mma
@@rainman0007 tennis actually takes more skill and takes longer to train for than MMA… I’m a college tennis player who is also a black belt in jujitsu, you shouldn’t talk about things you know nothing about. By the way, pickle ball is not a sport, it’s a game like horseshoes.
@kingtrawal says the guy who's only versed in one aspect of mma, muay thai and wrestling have produced far more mma champions than jiu-jitsu, so maybe don't talk about things you don't know...🤡🤡🤡
@@KJ7truthBtold bottom line is pickleball gets zero respect, and it never will get any respect because it's a game for obese couch potato losers.
I won't fight you man you're absolutely correct.
As a former tennis player, pickle ball SUCKS.
how tall is this pickleball net please?
The WNBA is more exciting
Always makes me laugh how serious people take pickleball. It’s basically tennis lite
It’s because it’s fun to play. And unlike tennis, it requires extremely quick decision making. It’s just not as fun to watch but really fun to play
The exact reason why I don't play pickle ball > looks and sounds like playing with toys.
😊
you seem to know a lot about playing with toys ;)
First time, last time.
I feel like boiling an egg can be considered a sport at this point.
Those little underhand volleys like 10 tens in a row so gentle like. Sheesh is this ASMR?
They're loading it with backspin.. The only way to return it effectively is with another backspin shot or else it shoots right into the net.. At least this is how it works with table tennis, never played pickle ball but a similar volley occurs until someone returns it slightly too high to allow a spike like what happened in this vid.
Great, when will this sport be included in paralympic?
I hope too, that way you will finally have your chance to play in the Olympics
the commentator: 😮😐😐🎅😐😐😴😐😐😮😐😐🎅
I see 4 tennis failures trying to find purpose in life. 😂
😂😂😂
What did they do to you bro, why are you salty. Mad they get more attention than you?
@@Bobby.546look at the top comments in this video. You pickle-ball players are so trash it’s kills to watch
tennis players are actually failures who couldn't play real sports. lmao
Most pro pickleball players would destroy you in tennis too.
