OK, I can buy that the bounce of the original dog pickle's ball has been studied scientifically in a lab. BUT, then they should (for God's sake) come up with a fix to that pathetically LOUD, LOUD IRRITATING click or clank sound. And if you are being honest, you know that people HATE to live too close to a pickle ball court because of that LOUD, obnoxious SOUND. I would rather live near a fire station because their sirens would, at least, not be continuous like the PICKLE-PRATTLE from 7:30 AM to dark.
......I would think that if manufacturers would put a few dots of rubberized material on each pickle ball that a quieter game could be developed. Also a slightly softer ball would prevent the wrist and lower arm injuries that PICKLE-PRATTLE players develop.
........I am just trying to help..........and have a little fun with it!
