With 8 knee surgeries I can no longer play tennis at the level I am used to, so this game will have to do. I do feel like it’s easier for tennis players to pick up. I hit with a lot of spin that many of the regular pickleballers don’t use. I don’t know if they don’t know how, or just don’t do it?
Very clear to me, so well explained. The heavy spin and ball moving away for Andre, he wouldn't be able to attack in the same way and his lesser athleticism would have made him vulnerable. He wasn't that fast over the court with those wide angles etc.
John's serve is illegal. A side arm serve in pickleball is a no no. Also when serving you can't use force on the ball, John is tossing it up slightly on his serve.
