......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! |

..........The next thing that should be done is to change the surface to prevent ankle and knee injuries. Up north they play pickle ball inside on basketball gyms and the floors are normally WOOD which has some give to it and should be better on the lower legs of players. They should also experiment with other outdoor surfaces like for Florida. I remember playing tennis in Idaho on a plastic like waffle tile surface that was easy on the legs AND gave a VERY true bounce. ..........Also, i don't understand why The Villages does NOT open up the High School gym and other gyms for BOTH tennis and pickle ball play. Especially during the HOT afternoon summer time when virtually no one will be playing on either tennis or pickle ball courts. ...........There, you see that tennis players can be reasonable and help out the PICKLE-PRATTLERS. |

The reason you never see anyone playing platform tennis at Eisenhower is because the courts face the wrong direction. They are supposed to be repositioning the courts so they will be usable. The court surfaces there have been in bad shape too. They will definitely be used by platform tennis players when that work is completed.
QUOTE=Michigan Farmer;2315228]For the life of me I don't understand why after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to rebuild platform tennis courts at Rohan and Eisenhour they can't spend another couple of dollars to put down a NVZ line on the courts which would make them multi use. I can count on one hand the platform tennis games I've seen played at Eisenhour over the past eight years, they get more hours of pickleball play in a day month than PTwill ever get in a year.[/QUOTE] |

Wrong direction? Know how much that will cost to tear down steel do courts over in another direction? Totally waste of money IMO. But, I’m not one plucking money at will off my money tree. |

What is the proper direction for the courts, and what is the issue if they are oriented in the wrong direction? |
