I play quite a bit of PB, and have been fighting nagging injuries all winter. The one thing that really astounds me is the number of people who play PB without eye protection. The one place on the human body where a pickleball can cause really serious damage, is the naked, unprotected eye.
A foul tip off of one's own racket, or one's partner's racket send the ball eyeward faster than a blink.
Just crazy. People have lost the vision in a struck eye, permanently.
