It's kind of small court tennis. Even folks with bad knees can sort of do the pickleball thing.
I straight up, got demolished by a couple in their 60s Sunday.

I put a court in at my house, and my wife and I promptly got tennis elbow and can’t play…
Anyone want to rent out my court?! Hahaha

I've never played but the wife has been talking about it. I'd be game to buy a set of paddles and check it out.

If anyone is looking to start a business, start installing pickleball courts. #1 most requested landscape amenity for me the last few years. People are VERY serious about it.

I've never understood the appeal. Just play tennis. Better exercise, more exciting, the girls are younger, hotter, and wear shorter skirts.
Try it and you’ll get it. Plus you’re wrong on most accounts. Sure older people play but so do tons of young people. The learning curve is much shorter than tennis. It’s a really fun game, still great exercise and honestly everyone I’ve met playing has just been good people. It’s a very diverse crowd. I played 4 hours last Sunday and played with people from early 20’s to 60’s , from 5’ tall girls to 7’ tall black dudes that looked liked they belonged in the nba. Everyone was having a riot

The handful of times I've tried pickleball over the years I just haven't found it appealing. Everything is personal preference, so your results may vary.

We love it. Had a fun game yesterday morning at the court we put in.
One of the best things we have when my kids and their spouses are visiting.

No. Your opinion is wrong.

I get told that a lot, yet some how I'm still always right.
I'll just add that I haven't played but the young men I work with have been trying to get it on our activity schedule for a while. From what I understand a lot of the church houses have nets and gear to play. I know our building does.
Did you tell your young men @jeeper said this is an old person sport? Why are they showing interest?

I haven't played, but I think it looks fun-ish. I think of it more like hero-sized ping pong.
