Go to Lake Miona about 10-11:00 am and watch the advanced pickleballers. You might be amazed. Most all were probably former tennis/racketball advanced players. Unless you're maybe John McEnroe, you should be able to find a good match. (I wonder if John has tried pickle ball yet? - I think he'd be great - net players do well).

If you're still too good for the competition, try something new - paddle ball or whatever they call it at Seabreeze.
I played some of the best Pickleball players in TV. Players that competed and medaled in the Senior Games, both locally and nationally. I simply did not like the lack of "power" in the game.

No reason to take my not liking Pickleball personally. I simply stated both my tennis background and personal feelings about Pickleball.

To those that enjoy it .... great for them, glad they do.
