As a long time tennis player who has tried some pickle ball, there is no comparison. Since it is a smaller court, it does lend itself to those who have diminished physical abilities which become all too apparent as we grow older (including myself!). However as noted by a previous poster, nothing beats the feeling of of a tennis ball being hit by a set of polyester strings and ripping the ball down the line. Compared to pickle ball, tennis is a Z06 Corvette versus a Volkswagen bug for pickle ball!
