70 year olds play it. I don’t think it will take that long for you to get good enough to beat them.
Rule the court bro!

It's fun to get a group together and go play it, just don't take it seriously

Two notions - quickness [not fast] and pretty darn good eye/hand coordination
Quite a few former tennis players in their heyday play the game
One more thing - dadburn wiffle ball has a mind of its own

Played a little tennis in high school but been a golfer most of my life. Retired and started pickleball. Play three days a week. The best players are mostly all x tennis players. Took about 6 months to be decent but after 2 1/2 years can hang with the better players. I'm 68 and can still get around pretty good for my age. We have guys in there mid 80's still playing. They can't move around much but can still play pretty good. Also many women that can flat out play most being tennis player. The Asian's are all really good.

Always find it funny when hipsters think they’ve ‘discovered’ something and begin to think they’re good at it. Then actual athletes start playing it and hipster’s hopes and dreams are completely crushed.
I wish pickleball will die a fast death. It’s a game made for retirees and old people. Leave it at that.

This. Don't expect it to move like a tennis ball. You'll completely whiff on your swing sometimes, especially at first.

What do you have against people exercising and having fun?
You’re creating quite the reputation on this site. You’re a fricking imbecile

Asking this board for fitness or sports advice, not your best move.

Isn’t pickleball just tennis for the old and unathletic?
I’d rather play ping pong.

How's your BJJ skills?

There are indoor pickleballs and outdoor pickleballs.
Get the right one for where your playing. It'll be more enjoyable.
It matters.
It's a blast. It's something you can play with your kids even if they are small.
