Just like anything some are better than others

You're an ¡d¡ot. Jack Sock himself has said it is not an easy transition from tennis to pickleball and that it is a lot more difficult than it looks

Def can’t

Maybe once or twice. Not consistently.

Literally why I want to pick this up w my wife? 😂😂😂😂

For real

100% right

Really fun to play tho

why is it painful to watch i don’t understand?

@@Greenstrtjs87 because it's boring AF

All the players on the court are ridiculously good at tennis 😊

@@sersta9008 not for long if they keep playing pb

​@@sersta9008 no

@@sersta9008 Confused means people who start out playing PB can't walk over and start playing tennis...

As a tennis player both sports are easy compared to others and anyone can play them both

You could say all the same about tennis. Hitting in the same spot 7 times in a point.

Yeah the masses aren't entertained by finesse and strategy. They want to see hurrr durrrr hit the ball hard.

Singles pickleball is what you should watch

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.

​@@kmcdnl321at least the rally speeds up in tennis

Literally nobody asked what you'll stick to watching. Or cares.

@@idrinkmilk282 clearly 49 ppl care 🫡 My reason for this comment is to bring to attention for those unfamiliar with pickleball to not despair that “highest level” of pickle ball does not actually in any shape or form represent “highest level” of human abilities, rather the opposite, and to keep them from slipping into despair, I propose alternatives which capture actual skills and feats of human. It’s really a teachable comment, so you’re wrong.

@@faisalwho you sound like a fuckin weirdo

💀

:skull:

that's what all the fat people say. If you were athletic you wouldn't care about it enough to try to mock it.

Hahaha

It doesn’t matter because tennis is a dying star 😂JK

Doubles*** pickleball.

And yet doom scrolling has no problem?

On god😂😂

Like snails

Goofy sport.

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.

@@mrpog5620nah u just mad u can’t play it fr

Thats not what he meant at all.​@praywithoutceasing4939

sure. why not.

Exactly. Not sure why elitist tennis players can't just let people enjoy!

As a tennis player, I have nothing against those who enjoy pickleball. I’ve done it a few times and it’s kinda fun to play casually.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

AND titled it "highest level of pickleball" 😂

It’s not something you can do

​@ryanb3721 it's not something most people care to do*

Hahahaha

ridiculously fun😂

But so fun to play

Tennis is fun to watch but hard to play. Pickleball is hard to watch but fun to play. It’s all good.

@@vswamidassYou guys should try Padel ;)

😂 and addictive!

But did you see how lousy he was at it?

it looked like they kept it in play tho when the orange shirt guy did

Play it and see how “senior-tailored” the sport is lol

Seniors that have been playing for a while would mop the floor with any tennis player that hasn’t played pickle ball before

@@daniellabrada654 It was Literally invented for the elderly 🤡

@@daniellabrada654u sound out of shape and never played a sport before

​@@raymondtohme668it was invented for seniors to get out and move around

Padel a lot better than pickleball

Padel is a real sport

padel is to pickleball as racquetball is to squash

Both are trash

I love racquetball. So much more aggressive and punishing

@@Ssagar304 Too many hot dogs in pickleball. Sheesh!!

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

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.

Most people are not athletic enough to play tennis

@@majestiictv Most people are not athletic enough to find the nearest place that even has a court.

This is why people play ping-pong.

@@pequodexpress it's too fast for some ppl

There have been players winning in other sports while they were drunk longer than this whole comment section has been alive

@@I3AcKP4cKbut pickleball is so fuckin easy you can just be drunk

My problem is municipalities building new facilities for this dumb sport, spending hundred's of thousands of dollars, so a few sloths can play a niche sport almost no one cares about...

They would never try it because they'd find out quick that they suck at this "easy" game

Well these guys could attack it and keep it In. The problem is the counters

I had a girlfriend once who could tie a cherry stem into a knot with her tongue… That was also very impressive. I miss that tongue.

They are very good if you know what You are seeing

I don’t. It shows up in my shorts. I’ve never searched for it

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!

Nah, you do lose the point if your opponents are good though.

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

You get countered harder if you attack the wrong ball

No .. bad idea.. not every one can hit hard and that's an advantage for power play which athletes should aspire to achieve..

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.

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 a 25-year-old tennis player and I’m hating on pickle ball…

They act like tennis is even a sport in the first place. They're just salty that nobody cares about their game and that this one is gaining the traction that they believe they should be getting.

@@PIVfirestarkproducon tennis players are amongst the best and highest paid athletes on earth. Grow a brain. pickleball on the other hand is a game like horseshoes or bochi ball. Cry more down here 👇

pickleball-- the game made for middle school PE class. like tetherball LOLLLL. zero skill needed.

@@PIVfirestarkproducon keep crying tho.....kzfaq.infoyUhNrO7pg0U?feature=share

Exactly my thought

When at the kitchen if you hit the ball past the opponents kitchen they can smash it back at you. Plus the ball is not bouncing high so you have to hit up and opponent can kill the ball. They're waiting for the high percentage shot

As a tennis player I assume its because they are waiting for a ball with enough height to wack it. It seems hard to hit the ball in and hard when it is below net level so they are waiting for a mistake from their opponent such as them giving thd ball too much height

@@pants1359 I have played pickle ball and tennis. I think that’s not quite true. I believe they have to let it bounce in that zone . But they could still smash it almost any time even if not over the net by much

@@phsx2890 Sorry I didn't specify. I'm pretty sure the rule is that you can not step into that zone unless the ball bounces to avoid people just smashing volleys on top of the net because the threat of a lob isn't very possible in pickle ball. That is what creates the long points, the fact that people nee to stay behind the line and cannot volley in front of it.
