Great video Simone. It's fun to see how much Eddie has improved. I would love you do to a video of you playing another pro in skinny singles. That would be fun to watch.

What a great opportunity to play with Simone! Great job Eddie and Simone I like the Skinny Singles game. Thanks to both of you.

Thanks for the exhibition of skinny singles! Looks like loads of fun and a good workout. I'll have have to give it a try.

Thank you

Thanks for this video. It is a perfect game to play anytime but especially now with the physical distancing which is not possible in doubles. There is one huge deficiency that no-one seems to notice: there needs to be a center line through the kitchen! Hopefully, this will start a movement to paint a line that divides the kitchen. This game seems to have legs!

Go Again!

We sometimes play skinny singles with some modifications. We give the server three serves only. First serving from the "duce" side, then straight-away, and then serve from the "Ad" side. Then the other player serves their three balls. Also we play rally scoring usually. Another great game is to play "triple pickle". That is three people per side. Must be played on a tennis court and use the tennis sideline. Two people can, return serve, Because our courts are lined for pickleball and tennis there is an area to the outside of the kitchen to the tennis white line (singles). It is legal to serve in this area including as close to the net as you like. (It is a glory shot that usually does not pay off but on occasion you can catch someone sleeping.) So the kitchen is still valid but only as it is marked for pickleball. Also there is a funny boundary in the corners, the notch, that adds a little character to the game. Final optional rule is one we call Los Altos rules. It is goes as following: If your teammate shanks a ball and if it is floating in the air, anyone on your team, except the "shanker" can play the ball before it hits the ground. It sound pretty stupid but you can have some really crazy/fun points. Triple pickle, in my opinion, is more fun than doubles because there are much more severe angles, more options to create havoc on the other side, and one player can not dominate the game. Give it a try if you can get people to try something new.

Damn. He has improved

Eddie would have trounced Simone, but he loves the right side and didn't want to give up his advantage. :D

Why do you switch to same side courts during the game from cross court play?

Eddie...Next time play rally scoring. You’ll get a few points! LOL. Great effort! 👏

First issue, Eddy wearing pink shoes🤷🏼‍♂️

Would you make a video with singles badminton dimension lines?

Why not just play regular singles?

Good video. But it would’ve been nice to see him win a few points to demonstrate the scoring… when you’re doing a demo and you beat someone 11 - 0 it doesn’t give us an opportunity to learn the movement nor the score.

Simone you couldn't give Eddie one point? Even to demonstrate how to change sides? Really? Couldn't just hit one ball into the net? This was a training video.

From what im seeing you are doing a lot of returning to each other instead of attacking the weak areas or is that the intention here,if so i don't see the point of just hitting it to each other in a"competitive" setting. I get drilling,me and my wife drill like this hitting back and forth but when we play for points we PLAY FOR POINTS.
