Pickleball will be a popular participant sport but will never be a big spectator sport. It's just not that compelling to watch. Like racketball. The real appeal is instant mediocrity. Tennis is far more difficult to learn and master and requires a lot more movement.
I belong to a racquet club that is primarily tennis oriented but has 12 pb courts. Talk about noise, the tennis players need to stop grunting at 120 dB every time they hit a shot.
*most high end paddles don't last for years, they will start to break down for sure -- better to think of how long a paddle will last in terms of how many hours of play time it has on it. fantastic vid!
One, change the ball material instead of the paddle to reduce the sound and to control how fast the ball CAN move. Two, like tennis, do not let the major take over, players should be their own bosses.
@@I..cast..fireball Thats kind of the problem. People should care a little what others think especially when its such an annoying activity. Zero awareness. You're those people. LoL
4:34 People complain about the sound? Really?. People buy houses next to freeways and subways and on flight paths all the time. If you don't like the sound, move! Many fingers should instead point towards gas powered leaf blowers 80-100db Those should be outright banned across North America. The carbon emissions are equal to 23 cars! and modified car exhausts 90db
There is a MASSIVE DIFFERENCE between CHOOSING TO move into a house beside an Airport or Freeway that is already there, and having an Airport go up after living in a home for 20 years. CHOICE, one had a CHOICE.
@@stevie1748 Lots of homes to choose from. If things change, move! I once had a toxic neighbour who was abusive to her Doberman dog. I just moved! Problem solved.
@@stevie1748 Wrong assumption. bought my first house at 24. In my third house. after the first house I had some great neighbors, most neutral, but I've been lucky
I am a tennis player. I always have been. I don't play golf and I don't play pickle ball and I never will unless, at an advanced age, I end up in a wheel chair. Pickle ball is tennis without the ballet.
It's like racketball, which was hyped just like pickleball back in the 70s and 80s. The appeal is instant mediocrity. Tennis is far more difficult to attain proficiency at. But pickleball, like racquetball, will never become a popular spectator sport. It's just not that engaging or compelling. If I get to where I can't handle tennis physically I might give pickleball a try, but honestly I think I'd have more fun at table tennis.
And none of the latest and most popular fitness software have added Pickleball. Apple Watch? Nope. Everfit? Nope. Fitbit? Nope. They are stuck on Badminton and squash. I guess Techie nerds are not playing Pickleball?
