@@JayyVee41 how long has it been around? How many people play competitively? I’m sure these guys would laugh if you told them you thought they were as athletic as elite tennis players.
Once you “sling a laser” at a pro, their hands are so quick they just put the ball away. That’s why tennis players are horrible at pickleball in the beginning
Pickleball is for fitness, friendship/family, and fun. I played twice now with wife and 2 teens and absolutely love this game. Calling Pickleball a World Championship is an oxymoron and probably deserves to get hated on UA-cam. But, don’t hate this wonderful and fun game until you’ve actually tried it. It’s a game for everybody and anybody. It’s seriously fun but it wasn’t designed to be taken too seriously. After all, it is believed that the “inventor” named it after his dog named Pickles 🤣🤣
I agree. I grew up playing competitive sports, and some tennis, but I'm older now and don't want to risk the injuries. This looks like a lot of fun. I think most of the sarcastic posts , only watched this match during the first couple of minutes.
Exactly. Pickleball is to other racket sports what slow-pitch softball is to baseball. It's basketball with a smaller court and shorter hoop. All power to the people who do it for fun and fitness, but let's not pretend it's exciting from a pure competitive standpoint.
exactly my thoughts. I think only .00000000001% of the world plays this game though.... Being an early adapter probably is the move. You ever look at videos of early baseball? Shit, I could have been a pro pitcher in highschool throwing 75 MPH...
Its a great game for your age bracket to make friends in your leer group, and I've heard even romantic connections. Look up a community that plays near you!
I've started taking Pickleball classes and it is a blast! It may not be exciting to watch but it is a joy to play and has very simple but also smart rules. You can't hit the ball out of the air if you are stepping over that front line. That is why they are making all those low dink shots. Having played recreational tennis and table tennis growing up I'm picking it up pretty fast. It's a good workout as well. The 90 minute class kicks my ass each Sunday morning LOL. I loved tennis but the relentless pounding was murder on my shins so I quit in my 20's.
I've been playing for about 2.5 months, here in Bowling Green, KY. This sport is growing like crazy here. I played this morning, at a local public park. There were more people than courts. Pickleball is quickly becoming very popular in southern Kentucky.
This reminds me of that time years ago, when Gael Monfils as a teen, having lost in the first round of a tournament, entered a Padel tournament without having played Padel ever. He procedeed to obliterate everyone, including the "Roger Federe of Paddle". Can't imagine what he would do to these guys. lol
That never happened, Monfils could never beat a padel pro player without a proper padel training. Ferrero, ex n°1, never achieved to be a top20 or even top50 padel player level even he tried several times, as far as I know
@@user-be5qg7mr1s bruh isn't it funny lebron decided to invest in the sport of pickleball instead of tennis!! Shows ya tennis is dying....shit the Wimbledon might have less spectators than the national bowling championship 🏆
I dont play pickle ball but i play tennis and ping pong. If you have to return a low ball its harder to hit hard because the only angle u can hit is upwards. Top spin helps but if u hit hard aiming up its gonna go out of bounds. Seems like why they cant hit hard when returning a low ball
Volleying within a few feet of the net is illegal. Volleying behind that is extremely effective, and thus each team attempts to keep the ball short and low enough that volleying is impossible. Hitting the ball with "average power" as you say would simply lead to an easy volley for your opponent, so neutral rallies end up as little dink fests. It's a strange game in that sense - it doesn't have a lot of movement and instead it's more about hand skill, which is why older players tend to like it.
Controlling the ball and giving it a lot of curve is more important than brute force. Its easier to return a powerful, straight shot compared to a slower curved shot.
TBH the very 1st time that I heard the word “Pickleball “ was 7 months ago and I’m 58. I’ve been playing for six months now and addicted to it. On top of that I’ve met so many wonderful people, Pickleball is fun,healthy and competitive.
I'm a badminton player. Someone came to me and said that pickleball is more fun. I was curious and now I'm here on UA-cam to check it out. After watching these 4 pro players, I think I'm just gonna stick with badminton :)
Well all of the pro pickle ball players keep the ball lower to the ground and it’s SLOW but when you give 11 year olds a court and paddles they hit that ball like there’s no tomorrow it’s insane
as someone who as actually tried playing this game and has no background experience in table tennis or tennis. it took 2 minutes to pick this game up and I basically wiped the floor with all the senior citizens in that court my mother brought me to. I get that im 23 and have a military backgroud. But I was never coordinated at sports no mater how fit I was. It felt really good knowing that theres a sport out there that is so easy to pick up and all the players have joint problems. back to sleep I go
i work for a fabrication shop building garbage trucks. im a machinist. my boss plays this. im at my local bar this saturday night and 2 other guys r talking about pickle ball as well. pretty cool i checked it out now cause i ride scooters haha. nice to live in a diverse world finally
That's the weird thing about pickleball. In any other racket sport, getting better increases the pace of gameplay. In pickleball, having the skill to keep the ball low slows things down to a crawl (until someone makes a mistake).
This game is actually kinda fun, but it's really easy. I just started because a girl I'm dating introduced it to me, and I was playing by myself against two people and kept winning lol
I just wanted to see this game played since I never heard of it until last year. It's ping pong on a bigger table with a rubber ball. What a thrill! Pffffffft.
Take it from someone who has played Pickle Ball for 6 years: If you are 50+ it is a lot of fun, and it is a whole lot harder to play well than you think. If you are young, strong and fast, try badminton - which, by the way, is the fastest came of all. Now, THAT is a difficult sport!
@@user-be5qg7mr1s Tennis is a beautiful sport, but I love badminton. It is the fastest game of all, more than twice as fast as tennis. In my opinion, it packs the combined set of difficulties of all sports packed into one. Check out a Danish player named Victor Axelsen.
@@snazzletruthtooth you're kidding right? Tennis was invented in 1873 and raquetball later in 1950. Raquetball should be grateful tennis in all aspects.
Having played Pickleball for 5 years now, I will be the first to say that pickleball is not an extremely athletic sport. However, like any other ball/racquet game, it's still going to have natural built-in skill diversification and consequent competitive nature, and you really can't knock it as a competition just because the pace doesn't match other sports. Everyone that I've ever introduced to the the game found it to be a blast and from a competitive perspective, there's still enough skill and player diversity to make it a great game. It's not endlessly deep and the skill ceiling isn't huge, but if you haven't tried it, you're missing out.
This is American ingenuity for coming up with a fun sport for the mass. Pickleball can really be a participation sport instead of the aristocrat spectator sport known as tennis.
I was surfing and ran into Danny Farmer, an ex Bruin volleyball and football player. It mentioned he now plays pickle ball. Just had to look. OMG! I will never look again. Can’t wait to see Djokovic at the U.S. Open.
It's super fun and easy to pick up, especially if you like running and jumping games. I played it yesterday and I like it just as much as tennis, ping pong, and badminton. It doesn't require much coordination; there's a large racket and a ball to size so all you have to do is be in the remote direction and there's a high chance you'll hit the ball lol. In the tournament you can see that they hit the ball near the net, the dropshot, is a pain in the arse. Hate to hit those. I don't know why I added that. Anyway, yeah.
For everyone hating on this sport, it is not supposed to be hard for everyone lmao. I have played basketball and tennis all my life. D2 scholarship for both sports. Pickleball is easy to pick up if you are an athlete and played tennis especially. But it’s a good sport to meet people and have a good time. You can bring someone who has never played and by the end of the day they are having a good game with you. That’s the point. It’s about fun. I love it. Play it all the time. Still play b-ball but pickle has replaced tennis for me. I play singles in pickle (so I still run a bit) but you are able to make dope shots and have a good time. Way harder to find someone who is on my level of tennis without joining a club and having to spend $. Pickle ball is a great sport. Don’t hate until you try it.
This game looks deceptively simple. It is easy to learn but highly nuanced at this level. It is fun to play at all levels of play. I play tennis but tennis requires greater court coverage so people decline as they get older. It also takes years to get a decent game.
I’m from Charlotte NC and pickle ball has taken over. I’m all for people going out and getting active. And they’re incorporating pickle bars and etc! I myself will not participate in this game as I don’t find it appealing but it’s definitely an interesting sport. I’ll stick to my hobbies for now
We played this in gym class when I was in middle school. And buddy let me tell you, it's not something to be made fun of. It's fucking AWESOME! Seriously I want to play again so damn bad.
el mejor video que he visto nunca, le doy gracias a mi profesor por abrirme un mar de oportunidades gracias a enseñarme este nuevo juego, dios os bendiga familia picklebalista
@PS-yi7yq Well, it seems to be more popular than tennis by a lot, as a participation sport. I say this as a former tennis player who used to get super-irritated with pickleball players, but made the switch.
Please do not compare the athleticism required by Racquetball to Pickleball. If you do it is because you must have been a beginner racquetball player. In competition racquetball (I was an Open player in that sport for over 10 years) the ball moves at over 100 miles per hour and your speed and reaction time are crucial. Pickleball is a fun social activity but there is absolutely no comparison.

It's by design. The no-volley line means the game becomes a dink fest.

¿Cómo he llegado aquí? Mi 2020 es para enmarcar
Miras videos del tenis? Llegue aqui por que You Tube sabe que miro los videos de tenis. Me gusta este juego. Me gustaria jugarlo.
Those guys are so good
I once played the more laid back version of this game.Cucumberball.😂
Playing the game, these situations feel so intense. Watching it from a camera, looks boring af. Still love pickleball tho
el mejor video que he visto nunca, le doy gracias a mi profesor por abrirme un mar de oportunidades gracias a enseñarme este nuevo juego, dios os bendiga familia picklebalista
At first, I thought they were practicing for ping pong
The tennis turned itself into a pickle, hilarious
I've been playing this game for about two months. I looked up pros because ej thought it would be cool. I could kick their butt in a one vs two lmao
I dont get it. Dinking and Dunking up by the Net? What is the back court even for?
Probably new players
back court is service area.
and front court is non-volley area.
you can't enter that area when you volley.
Are red shoes a requirement?
This is the way
If you don’t wear red shoes you learn what the pickle in pickleball means
First time watching I’m amaze basically a low budget tennis game
Is the music at the beginning " Lips of an angel" by Hinder because it really sounds like it.
Me and the boys play better in gym class
same
Y’all probably don’t even use the kitchen
Shoot
this is an activity..tennis is a real sport
dropshot118 no kid pickleball is definitely a sport and as you get older you can still play it too
Still nobody has been able to invent a new game which can take on the traditionally popular games. This game looks ridiculous as well
This reminds me of racquetball without the walls. I'm sure it's a blast. Not sure about how popular it will get. Fads come in many shapes and forms.
@PS-yi7yq Well, it seems to be more popular than tennis by a lot, as a participation sport. I say this as a former tennis player who used to get super-irritated with pickleball players, but made the switch.
Please do not compare the athleticism required by Racquetball to Pickleball. If you do it is because you must have been a beginner racquetball player. In competition racquetball (I was an Open player in that sport for over 10 years) the ball moves at over 100 miles per hour and your speed and reaction time are crucial. Pickleball is a fun social activity but there is absolutely no comparison.
You should all try Padel, you would love it!
I’ll be 80 one day 😎
This can't be a world championship.
Pretty boring huh
You’re right, it’s THE world championship
@@Dingbobber lmaoooooo. take a seat this a hobby not a championships
My back hurts from watching this
Interesting shot at 5 minutes
