Comparing Pickleball to other racket or paddle sports
It’s easier to learn than the other racket or paddle sports. I find that keeping the correct score to be the hardest thing about Pickleball. I taught many friends how to play pickleball and they were able to play within 10 minutes compared to tennis that takes hours to learn how to serve correctly. Ping Pong takes hours to learn how to read and hit spin. Racquetball takes hours to learn how the ball bounces and the angles.
- Racquetball if you make a mistake it’s over.
- Tennis is the most running and fitness but if you make a mistake by running can stay in the point
- Ping Pong or Table Tennis is reading spin with the same advantage of staying in the point.
