Default Pickle Ball

is just table tennis enlarged. Would fear playing against Forrest Gump more. It does provide great exercise for older folks as well as many injuries and black and blue marks.

I used to walk around a local dog park with a pickleball instructor. She was renting a home close by. I never asked her about pickleball pointers. This was probably before COVID though but am not sure.

There is a YouTube video from about 3 years ago of a pickleball match in Hollywood Florida at the Hard Rock Casino. Lots of laughs. Agassi, John McEnroe, Andy Rodick and Anthony Kim

Her mother used to be her partner early on.

Think that the lady was from Sebring.

“just table tennis enlarged”

Not really it tennis dumbed down.



“as many injuries and black and blue marks.”

You can watch some of the match here:

ALW and Agassi

You'll have to skip some of the other matches. It's about halfway in.

I remember that match. It was painful to watch. They had no idea what they were doing, and compounded it by acting like goofballs. If you haven't seen it, don't bother.

WELL, he's 17 years younger than I am, more athletic, with a world class tennis background. I don't think I'd do very well.

Give me Anna Leigh Waters for a partner, and give him someone old and slow like me, and I'd have a chance. I just have to stay out of Anna Leigh's way.
