What you’re not understanding is that you don’t have to have a partner you just go down to the courts and put your paddle in line. The games are like 10-15 min. Then you go on the side and wait and socialize with your new friends ! That’s the best part to me ! We had a 91 year old show up yesterday day and we all enjoyed a game with him ! 91 !
If that is the case, playing badminton is way better, no space or court constraints. This just look silly man, hybrid abomination. But hey, that is just my ignorance. Let me know in the coming years, if this urban time pass game becomes popular.
I'm a tennis player but I totally love seeing everyone be able to enjoy a racket sport. It is true that once you develop an obsession with the sport you can't imagine life without it. I'm glad everyone can have that feeling
Have to drop some truths real quick before all the die-hard tennis players come in here and spit false information. 1.) Pickleball is not the enemy of tennis and should be embraced for allowing people who could no longer play tennis continue to live a healthy lifestyle. 2.) Just because people with mobility issues play the sport doesn't mean the sport can't give you a killer workout. Playing at high levels in any sport will give a good workout - you get out what you put in. Also, have you played singles? 3.) I come from a tennis background and teach both sports - pball sounds like trash (the ball is plastic so yeah) but that doesn't mean it's not fun. I stayed away from the sport for a while for this exact reason but enjoyed it from day 1. 4.) A lot of tennis players call pball a fad but it's going to be here for a very long time. Appreciate all the racquet sports for what they provide - a community.
Bravo. I played both tennis and table tennis competitively in my younger years. I just started to played pickleball 2 months ago and instantly love it. My wife never played any sports and she is now obsesses with it. Glad to see older folks are able to continue having fun and enjoying the social aspect of it.
This whole wave amazes me. Every time I watch a professional pickleball match on TV, I see about 5 people in the stands. It's unwatchable on TV. Hitting the ball 30 times in the Kitchen is like No Doze.. Ping Pong is better.
All I’ve heard about it is the annoying noise the ball makes. Heard about it years ago & the complaints & now the front page of my local paper has neighbors up in arms
@@itmaslanka That’s what cracks me up. You bought a house near a HS & whine about everything from the lights on Friday night football games to kids soccer on weekends. Pack of Grinches
First of all, I bought my house 30 years ago. Long before pickleball. I was here first! And before you throw shade on the people who complain about the noise, I challenge you to try and enjoy an outside evening at your own home when all you hear is dozens of people producing the clicky clacky version of water torture!
The sport is fine but some players need to be more considerate of other groups around. Some groups would play songs on a portable speaker and even singing along with it; putting foldable chairs on the sides between courts that got in the way of other groups; or chatting endlessly about their daily lives. It's hard to enjoy and concentrate the game with those kind of groups near you.
My experience with Pickleball is that it brings together all ages, races, genders, socio-economic backgrounds and whatever else normally "separates" us as people. (I agree, however, that with the segment filming from several country clubs and a big city bar/restaurant, that's not an aspect of the sport that came through well here.)

No racket - paddle!
Not when they take away my tennis courts though.

I play tennis, and I go to this park that they turned 2 of the tennis courts into pickleball courts 😑 sad for us minus 2 courts for tennis players 🤣
I get pickleballs when i don't take a bath for a week
As one of those obsessed with the sport, I just have to say that, at 2:18 we see a blatant kitchen violation!
Best segment yet on why the game is taking off. Bravo
I miss CBS Mornings Saturday, why did they take it out from the CBS News App/ Channel..please bring it back.

WHERE ARE THE PICKLES THOUGH?!
Bye bye tennis courts 😂
Was hoping it was a ball made of pickle 🙄🙄🙄🙄😒😒😒😒
I refused to go to a flea market with friends because I didn’t want fleas.
Love a accessible racket sport. Just really a shame they have to sacrifice other spirts growth for it.

They bought a house next to a park and expected to have it to themselves! Move .

@@Sg3745danville I believe the Indians were here first ! “Hey Tonto those pilgrims are making so much noise with their axes !”

when a sport allows people from any class and background you get hooligans. That's why I play tennis cuz it filters out people from the lower class
Tennis is messing up my back. I'm afraid I'll be playing pickle ball in the future.
Try badminton. You can keep up a tennis routine but way slower. It'll be easier on your body
FYI - a "hybrid" refers to a combination of two things only. Pickleball cannot be a "hybrid" of tennis, ping pong, and badminton.
Pickleball looks fun because the common person can play it and have loads of fun. Not sure I see it as a professional sport. The ball is like a toy.
Ya they will loose money just like crypto. Good luck tom
🙄🤔
This is the whitest thing I've ever seen
Tell me you've never been snow skiing without telling me you've never been snow skiing.
sure, let's just make it about race, because why not
White & Rich = relevant news
Put your thinking cap on and see if you can find a better job than what you're in you have to apply yourself
I don't think you have to be rich to play!
@@glenwood2005 You are correct. We're trailer-court trash, and we play.

you don’t need to be rich at all
One of the easiest sports in the world which is why its so popular. Non athletic people can play
