This is like two people have been shrunken and are playing table tennis while standing on the table...
Scary accurate analogy
Wait so you're telling me this is not the case?
You got that from Seinfeld haha
I play tennis and this is the first time I have seen what pickleball is.
It seem sso silly.
well, there's barely any spinning the ball in this game. Reminds me more of badminton.
Played for the first time yesterday. Really fun.
Where did you play?
where?
Half ping pong half tennis.
Lmao. Im so confused
I'm a long-time tennis player (30+ years), just finding out about pickleball. Looks like a lot of fun. The only thing I'm confused about is the two-handed backhand. It's such a light ball + racket/paddle, plus you have more reach, range and flexibility with a one-handed backhand. Tennis players usually adopt a two-hander at a young age because it's easier to control the racket. But I don't get it for pickleball. Maybe they were tennis players before and it just feels more comfortable? Anyway, thanks for posting. I've gotta try this game.
Yes, you will find a lot of fun. Try it please.
Agreed. I was wondering the same thing. I'm not sure why people are using a two-handed backhand in pickle ball with such a light ball.
The topspin generated with a two hand backhand is tremendous.
Definitely comfort is a factor. As a coach, I find some new players, certainly those with tennis experience, prefer a 2 hander for topspin backhands deep in the court for the added power and control. Personally, I find it easier to put the ball where I want to with a 2 handed backhand. I coach and generally introduce both styles and just allow the player to experiment and find which shot they prefer. A 2h backhand is still fine for pickleball, don't let the size of the court make you think otherwise. Slice backhands are generally performed with one hand. I'll even use a 2 handed swinging topspin backhand volley on higher, slower moving balls.
I am also a long-standing tennis player and I have wondered the same thing. Perhaps the person who said it might be comfort for a tennis player who is accustomed to using two hands for their backhand. I had a one-handed backhand in tennis so that is what I use in pickleball. I do think you are right though about reach. Another common thing in pickleball is players who switch hands holding the paddle. I have to think that some of these habits will disappear as the sport matures. Great game!
The old school game with a pair of books and a ping pong ball taken to the whole new level.
Im not good at tennis or ping pong or padel... Nevermind, Im gonna made a new sport until Im good at one!
Thanks for spoiling it by putting the outcome in the description.
Dont read it then
thanks for making me want to read the description now
Would love to see Nadal and kie have an exhibition match.
I'd love to see a clay court of this
Imagine a pickleball version of Nadal 😂😂😂
@@Guyerbassist LMAOOO
Telling me you can't make it in tennis without telling me you can't make it in tennis.
You can make a point for a small percentage there. But for me this is a chance to play again and be competitive at a similar game. I played well in high school, not good enough for a big college and that's ok. But for 30 years after it was harder and harder to find people to play tennis. I skoffed at the pickleball until I played it. I can always find a game, and am having fun levelling up. This is more of an advantage in PB for skill over sheer power, as in tennis you can dominate players with serve and volley force. The funny moments are when you look at a new drop in opponent and think it's gonna be easy. Then you are surprised when they play great angles, have super quick hands, and have deep strategy. It's a fun game, give it a try and comment again. You might enjoy it!
is that a plastic ball? wind will interfere alot if ball is light
Her name is Anna Leigh??? Anyone??
What do you mean
@@charlesludwig3941 say it fast
They need a better score keeper
What is the name of this sport please ?
Pickleball
In the Caribbean we call it road tennis, which started in the 1930's as local people could not afford the tennis rackets and were not allowed to enter the local sports clubs they painted the the court in the roads and made the paddles out of wood. It is still played to thus day in schools and competition.
So, the people who complained about the tennis courts being too big and the ping pong tables too short got their own sport. Interesting
what is the name of this sport?
Pickle ball
Is this the Minnesota Timberwolves commentator?

@@cullencorcoran8493 Thanks.
How much money did she earn
I want to play this game sooo badly
So fun
I’m 13 and it is so fun to play
Have to use double handed backhand to hit with a ping pong paddle?
Playing style is ping pong n paddle w a court of tennis
It’s becoming tennis
Rafa nadal would be so good at this game
If you have a good net game you will be good. A massive advantage in tennis Rafa has is his topspin which in pickleball you can't get any. But I would really like to see him play
This called takeya?
There are 1000s of unbelievable tennis players 12 years old and older.... why do people go so goo ga gaga because one 14 years old player in pickleball! lol...
perhaps because this is a new sport and PICKLEBALL players have not have the time to develop the same way that athletes in most other sports have. I do understand that the best PICKLEBALL players are not as "great" as the best tennis players or the best table tennis players, etc. But give this sport time and give the players time to play competitively against each other to have the benefit of the competition to become better and better. In the meantime, I think we can appreciate how well these players are playing, especially for a new sport...
She was probably a good tennis player that found that pickleball is much easier. I play pickleball and tennis. Pickleball is where tennis players go to die
We're not going "gaga because there's one 14 year old in pickleball" - it's because she's a phenomenal player and can beat the top professional pickleball women! How many of those "thousands of unbelievable 12 year old" tennis players can beat a top 10 professional female pro tennis player? ZERO!!
@@crownator how many of those top 14-16 year old tennis players be number one in pickleball. Pickleball is more fun and faster than tennis. But the skill level in tennis is a man fighting a child
@@true3dtours297 Again... such condescension from tennis players... Pickleball is not where tennis players go to die. It is where, for older tennis players go to be rejuvenated. Sure. the court is smaller so there is less running. And the ball is slower so there are fewer hard put away shots. But this requires greater patience and strategy AND precision on the part of the players. And not being able to go to net also requires dimking/drop shots that requires tremendous precision. I have played tennis for decades and I grant that pickleball is "easier" to play as you get older. But it has its own merits that make it a fascinating game. And perhaps she plays because she likes it. I invite you to send us to your videos of your wonderful racquet talent.
clearly just mediocre tennis players who found a smaller court
Wow. Are you rude. I would love to see you out there.
Exactly. and I played tennis for 40 years and Pickleball for 2 years. But I agree with you.
Yeah, a lot of watered down sports to suit the masses.
@@viveknamikaze761 What condescension... People on the internet feel such liberty to be rude and dismissive. It is true that pickleball is "easier" to play than tennis. The court is smaller and the ball is slower. But that also means that it is harder to hit a put away shot, so placement has to be that much more precise. Rallies go longer and strategy is that much more important. And not being able to go to the net means that drop shots (dinks) are extremely important, and therefore precision is that much more important. I invite you to play pickleball with advanced players to find this out.
@@LearnMusclescom I play badminton/tennis on a division level and have tried pickleball, padel, innebandy and all those sports and though the pro level players are good, there is no way in hell that you can compare it to the mainstream sports they were derived from.
Pickleball has a much easier learning curve which makes it easy for a lot of non sporty people and absolute beginners to enjoy the feeling of playing a sport. Tennis is unforgiving in that aspect which is why I mentioned that. I know what Im talking about.
What is this😃😄😄😁😁
My question is why the fuck can’t you just play tennis?
Bro that’s Tennis but easier
Another stupid sport. This must be World cup final Netehrlands USA. Only two teams compete.
This looks fun...hahaha
Ping pong em chão.
Ping pong in the Land of the Giant
lmao if a 14 year old kid can be one of the best players at a game in the world you know its not a real sport
WoW this is a intelligent comment here wowww
Martina Hingis was 15 when she won Wimbledon. Duh...
Tennis for flop players...chilfish and crap
Half tennis and half Darts
I've never seen this kind of game... 🤯🤢🤣
This game seems stupid. Why in between lawn tennis and table tennis ?
For pickleball to grow and dominate the modern world, it should position itself as a non-gendered sport.
Men's and Women's tennis is the product of old thinking.
Pickleball is a fundamentally equal sport. Let men and women play singles matches together!
May the best player win.
I like your progressive way of thinking, but uh, no. Men hit the ball much harder than women in tennis and in pickleball, which gives them a decided advantage from the get go. So unless you're pitting the top ranked women's pickleball player against a very low ranked men's player, the male player is going to come out on top just about every time. Btw, I play pickleball several times a week against both men and women players, so I'm not theorizing here about the sport.
idk about mixed singles but mixed doubles works great
The commentators are horrible at their job
they are too afraid to play tennis
This looks way less fun than tennis. It's too slow
Lots of improvement needed for these two. Ha.
touch tennis seems better than this
Lame.
