My girlfriend is a hard-core Pickleball player, and I played with her once one morning. Too many stupid rules. You cannot hit from the kitchen, you have to move to the garage to hit over overhead, you can hit from the shower though!
I played paddle ball as a kid that was real simple. We hit the ball against the wall. We hit it back. Too complicated for me.
I will say I had trouble because the ball only bounces about a foot and I'm used to playing paddle ball when the ball would bounce a couple of feet. Took me a few minutes to understand you gotta hit it right away.
