I cannot understand the meteoric rise in popularity of pickleball, i have only played the game once and would not bother playing again, the thing they call a bat gives as much feeling when you strike ball as a frying pan would. It's a joke compared to tennis or badminton (real games) There are lots of people unfortunate enough to be living next to these courts complaining about the level of noise made by the frying pan striking the crappy plastic ball, then it struck me, that's why it's so popular, it's another way of creating unnecessary noise and people here seem to love that.
Charlyb; just put your mankini on back to front, earbuds in and listen to AC/DC Thunderstruck whilst air guitaring like Angus Young up and down your garden. Your neighbours will wonder "WTF" and the Pickleball will cease! Just an idea - Your welcome.
Personally i prefer Tiddly Winks or Chess or Swimming. But each to their own. Bingo was only good to "pull a granny" back home. Far better skirt over here no question.
