This!
I am a "boomer" I keep getting asked if I want to play pickleball.
First off, I hate the name...
More importantly, the ball and racket are like finger nails on a chalkboard.
There's nothing satisfying from the racket/ball response. It's like catching a dead fish.
Give me Newton's third law, with the powerful feeling of racket strings on a rubber object. Tennis, Racquet Ball, Squash, Badminton. Ping-pong is the exception due to the ultra light weight ball.
Sound plays a roll too. I think that's why there's so many complaints around pickleball courts. The sound sucks!
Pickleball is for seed-oil eating geriatrics with arthritic knees.
Move the bod, last longer, risk blowing an Achilles tendon...
Okay not the last part, I did that playing masters lacrosse. 1yr recovery 😬
