super smart of them picking a sports that doesn't take much spaces but attractive to the boomer generation that has the purchasing power that malls needed.

It is table tennis but you are playing on the table.

@thomasgilbreath1250 I've always played that way, standing on the ping pong table that is (I only weigh 30 pounds).

It's like comparing ping pong and tennis. Mechanically similar but still fundamentally different.

153% growth..fastest growing sport in North America..in the end just have 500 members. Lol😂 typical American with their misleading statistics

The two tennis clubs near my house, one of which I am a member off, just made two pickle ball courts. The sport itself is a typical American lazier version of a better sport. Just play tennis, you bums. Look at how they massacred rugby and now a dude with a 25 stone beer belly can play in it. NHL is the only real sport in the Americans with any real hard-work and talent needed.

If people liked tennis more, they would build more tennis courts at your club. Sports are about enjoyment and not serving weird superiority complexes.
