@@mikecondon93 Haha! You haven't watched many matches have you? Just WHERE do you think these open space are? I'm 5'6" and 67 years old and I can cover my half of the court and a little more. "Jamming up" the opponent is often the best shot at higher levels. Most things look easy when you don't know any of the subtleties.
@@mikecondon93 Correct. The zone in front of the net, usually a different color, is 7 ft deep and is called the No Volley Zone, technically, although everyone calls it the "kitchen". In that zone, you are not allowed to hit a volley shot. And it's very strict: you can't be touching any part of it with anything (like if your paddle scrapes the ground inside the Kitchen hitting a volley, it's a fault). You can't hit a volley and then let your momentum carry you into the NVZ, or push off the NVZ to go back to get a lob unless you "re-establish" before hitting the ball. The game was designed by a family who bought a home with a Badminton court in the yard, and they invented a game to play on it. I kinda think the original NVZ rule was put into place for safety reasons, so Dad wouldn't be bashing Mom in the head going for a smash at the net. But whatever the reason for the rule, it is, imo, the single most important rule in the game, and gives it the strategic nature that it has.
I lob regularly over the heads of older players who cannot jump or get back to play it if it goes over their head. It works. But against players who can jump or who are agile, you get punished most of the time for lobs.
So much can go wrong on a lob when you're aiming for that perfect sweet spot of "too high to hit but not out," plus wind can have a huge affect and the hang time gives the opponents maximum amount of time to prepare to return. A failed drop attempt is much less fatal than a failed lob attempt.
@@MikeRussell517 even tho it can go around the net it's still insanely difficult to do so, that way you get rewarded with a point if you can pull it off :) lol
There is absolutely zero reason for any of these women to be moaning like tennis players when they hit the ball. Especially on the dinks and whatnot, like, you have to be kidding.
Naw they are probably exerting themselves enough. You hit that ball with power just like in tennis. If someone were doing that with table tennis I might say the same thing but pickle ball still needs full body movement
7:58. The choice to switch the camera angle at the absolute worst possible time kills me. Why not just let us watch we the ball bounces instead of changing out view 90 degrees and losing track of the ball?
@@jaredsimmons5583 they made us play this joke of a sport in gym class. Might be good for old people but schools shouldn't be doing such shitty sports.
I don't know how I got here but I love watching pickleball highlights now
When asians find out about this sport.. You guys are screwed LOL
my butthole puckered multiple times watching this AMAZING video! Cant wait for 2022!!!
That’s incredible Pickleball !!!!!!!
Great stuff!
Phenomenal list! Nicely done! I have a couple questions for you about the channel. Is there a way I can get a hold of you?
If you like this, definitely look up "Padel"! In my opinion it's way cooler to look at.
This sport just keeps getting more amazing every year. It's just unbelievable how good these pros are.
This looks like kids playing padel tennis. Why are they hitting at each other instead of where there's space

@@pickleballer1729 maybe I don't know one of the rules. Is a player not able to hit the ball at the net?

Great game. Pickball grunts are quite ridiculous.
Im in my 30s now and i find myself playing pickleball, disc golf and dungeons and dragons. What happened to me😂
I'm here because LeBron is investing in a sport I never heard of.
I'm from France.
I enjoy to watch this, such a nice sport ever 💕
SO AWESOME BADASS💪💪💪😈
What a great list!!!!!
Why is the guy in black taking up all the court in the 5th highlight?
I don't think I could finish a match without backhanding the grunters.
I be grunting backhands all day baby. Psychological warfare
@@ImRanchWilder
you go girl
This is for tennis what crossfit is for gym training
When you’re not good enough for tennis but you want something more than ping pong
shut up mitch
Sorry but when you've played tennis well for years and knackerd yourself with the injuries its caused ,then you've earned pickle ball.
Lol fr
Table Tennis is infinitely better than this garbage.
When pickleball is too complicated you choose tennis 🎾
I don't get why this sport is sweeping the nation. It reminds me of racketball back in the 70's. It was a craze until it wasn't
I’m new to the game. Why are there so few (if any) lobs?
Because if you lob it they will destroy you
I lob regularly over the heads of older players who cannot jump or get back to play it if it goes over their head. It works. But against players who can jump or who are agile, you get punished most of the time for lobs.

First time ive watched pickleball. I didn't even know this was a sport lol. I think 6:45 is a good example of how a lob can go wrong though.
@@Celt1389 perfect example
We were trying to figure out if the ball could go around the net yesterday when we were playing. The first clip answered that for me lol
Right?!? So why is there a net at all? I'm still confused.
@@MikeRussell517 even tho it can go around the net it's still insanely difficult to do so, that way you get rewarded with a point if you can pull it off :) lol
Love the comments, I don’t why people can’t just enjoy a sport with out hating on it.
There is absolutely zero reason for any of these women to be moaning like tennis players when they hit the ball. Especially on the dinks and whatnot, like, you have to be kidding.
Haha! I was thinking the same thing! Like, seriously, you're exerting yourself paddling a wiffle ball 20 feet?
Naw they are probably exerting themselves enough. You hit that ball with power just like in tennis. If someone were doing that with table tennis I might say the same thing but pickle ball still needs full body movement
moaning is part of the sport 🤣🤣😍😍👀
I assume you never played too bad
@@BullMuse you never played too bad 😔
#3 Jessie....OMG
Great sport
Can you play this sport if you are straight?
Yes being stupid no nice try
The perfect sport for pride month
YAAAAAAASSS!!!
It seems to me the typical sport that is by miles funnier playing than watching as padel or unlike tennis or soccer
Tennis and soccer are the most boring sports to watch… zzz
7:58. The choice to switch the camera angle at the absolute worst possible time kills me. Why not just let us watch we the ball bounces instead of changing out view 90 degrees and losing track of the ball?
i want to play pickleball
2:47 pretty sure that one was out
The lazy tennis 😴
Grunts hard and ball travels 10 mph. Can’t wait to retire and give this sport a go
It seems bad for your back to be hunched over like that all the time
How was that hit at 4:25 legal? The player in the black shirt crossed the no-volley zone to hit that ball.
I think it’s cuz his feet wasn’t touching the no volley zone
@@Emron_Alefi Thanks. I didn't know you could do that
He's also constantly stradling the middle of the court, too, going into his partner's space. I didn't see any of the other doubles players doing this.
@@AnomieTrain it varies watch Ben Johns
@@BigBrownTruck22 Pball the best
5:52 Isn't it a foul at this time?
thats what she said
#4 should be #1
pero profe como que para motivarse
"[Pickleball is] like tennis with no learning curve, movement, spin, or speed.” - Andy Roddick
honestly, does not look to exiciting to me........spin and speed is it, what makes it for me
Yeah I really don't like this. I'd rather just play tennis.
@@jaredsimmons5583 they made us play this joke of a sport in gym class. Might be good for old people but schools shouldn't be doing such shitty sports.
Must not have watched these highlights
@@jaredsimmons5583 good
lol pickle
i thought this was really cool until i looked up “Top 10 Tennis Points of 2021”
Watching tennis is like watching 80’s pong. See the ball, move to ball, hit the ball, repeat. Theres too much time to react.
As a tennis player, ive never been more dissapointed in my community for hating on this sport
imagine Serena Williams playing pickle ball ! she would slam the heck out that ball 🤣🤣🤣
Not really I assume you never played too bad for you
That behind the back hit is just so unnecessary. Could do a lot more placement with a regular backhand 🤦♀️
gave him more time
It was a reaction some times there is not enough time to switch...
Some times they do in-between legs
That first dudes partner must hate him. Such a hog
you don't need to hit over the net? lol
you can go around the post if it is wide enough! same in tennis
pickle ball is mid tennis better
Both sports played by raging homosexuals
I was seeing all these clips and it looks so lame and boring so i went to see the big stuff. Now i know it wasnt them. Its just the sport
the grunting like tennis....smh
Never understood why people grunt like they taking a deer sh*t
Sometimes comedy, sometimes because they think it gives them better power/control
@@gunselshaly537 yo best reply for that, appreciated
Ask Nadal???
Is that how deer's shit?
The Best point is an unforced error hahaha. Is the first sport with a racket or paddle extremely ugly.
Que palhaçada
what a silly sport hahah
He sucks, hasn’t brought a bill to congress his entire career!
It's way more fun to play than tennis. Way less fun to watch than tennis.
What you kidding me
I started pickle ball yesterday as a male; today I identify as female and have gone pro…
you're not funny
cringe
@@mattthomas7704 I haven’t been beaten yet!!
@@19stacymoore congrats. still shit joke
How are you a male if your name is stacy
Many of those are highlights from previous years - I am sure you can find enough from 2021.
promise you they are all 2021!
It's funny how u can not make a Point with a Smash lmao
