Have you seen fling golf? Don’t hit the ball but “fling” with a club that looks like a golf club but the head is more like a lacrosse stick

You calling ANYONE cringe... shows you have a complete and total lack of self awareness. None at all. Zero.

Tennis what level? Or did you mean pickleball?


Tennis. Toured the junior circuit pretty good. Got a couple of small school scholarship offers. Turned them down over burnout.

Sit down and have another ding dong fattie. Let people do what they want for exercise, recreation, and competition.

I’m sure your heart rate gets up just getting up off the couch.

Who cares? They have fun. No one is committing a crime or being a dick.

Now there is "Padel"


Padel has been around since the late 60’s. It’s popular in cold weather areas during the winter because they heat the courts.

My mom played padel in the winter all the back in the 80’s.

People who are miffed at the existence of a game (Pickleball) are so odd


I can't stand the sound. And seeing four dorks crammed onto a tiny court.

People who live near the courts have legitimate complaints. Like a dog that won't start barking? Yeah it's like that.

Pickleball is MUCH easier than tennis. And therefore less rewarding. It was created for old people.

They also use up a ton of basketball courts. The sound of pickle ball is much more obnoxious than tennis as well. Just my two cents.

Padel has been around for awhile. Big in Spain and Argentina. Pickleball has been around since the 1960’s.

Do you also dislike ping pong because it's not tennis?
