[*]I have played singles PB and singles tennis. While singles PB is more demanding physically than doubles PB, it is still less demanding than singles tennis. [*]Likewise, doubles PB is less demanding than doubles tennis This is a function of the court being smaller, and has little to do with the paddle/racket or ball. |

Actually, I wasn't knocking Pickle ball. I just presented common sense observations that could improve the game.

What was going on in the 60s when the game was invented is irrelevant to today's paddles and balls. Just like the morph from wooden tennis rackets to metal to graphite and then carbon, PB paddle tech and ball tech have evolved. The balls bounce the way they do by design. If the manufacturers wanted a different bounce based on player need, I assure you, they would design them that way. |

2.D.5 Bounce. The ball shall have a bounce of 30 to 34 inches (76.2 to 86.4 cm) to the top of the ball when dropped from a height of 78 inches (198.1 cm) onto a granite surface plate that is a minimum of 12 inches (30.5 cm) by 12 inches (30.5 cm) by 4 inches (10.2 cm). The test is to be performed at an ambient temperature of 70 degrees F plus or minus 5 degrees F. https://usapickleball.org/docs/eec/E...rds-Manual.pdf Everything evolves. An example is indoor vs outdoor balls. Quiet balls and paddles are now in development. USA Pickleball Announces Quiet Category for Pickleball Products - USA Pickleball |

I enjoy playing pickleball and I am not going to stop playing, even though there is at least one person who seems to think that I should. I like the game just the way it is, no need for changes.
