Pickleball is taking over the world.

Young/old. Fit/fat. Athletic//uncoordinated. Etc

Doesn’t matter. Get ready

Maybe at A&M.

Golf > Tennis > Pickleball > “Frisbee” golf

Suck at golf.

Dominate at the pickle. Just ordered 4 new paddles for the Fam and I.

Pickleball gets people that weren't moving moving and you are gear to complain about that?

Can anyone explain why now, at least in America- tennis is looked at as some fru-fru country club sport, whereas golf- the ultimate country club sport- is not ?


Because you can drink while playing golf.

Personally im of the opinion that we need an American men’s tennis version of Tiger Woods


I'm happy to not have to fight for a court. But yes this would probably do it.

It's been over 20 years since an American won a Major, (Roddick) and that was his ONLY major.

We have to have some competitive Americans break through. Just when you think they might be getting close, along comes Sinner and Alcaraz.

I'll play pickleball but I'd much rather play tennis. I hate the sound of pickleball too. Pickleball is to Tennnis as Whiffle Ball is to Baseball.
