What's this?

I am a racquetball player and no one wants to go in the court so we all


Moved to pickleball and some of the seniors are pissed.

I get more exercise from pickleball than tennis. The first serve has to go in so you don’t waste all the time watching your opponent grunt and hit the ball into the net. No time is wasted chasing balls as they don’t go very far.

And it is fast paced. Fast as your opponent can make it.

It won’t replace tennis for you, but man, it is a fun distraction.
