It's somewhere between tennis and ping pong. For those of you too retarded to google it, it's played on about half a tennis court and has a tennis net that is 2 inches lower. Players use wood or carbon-fiber paddles that are about double the size of a ping pong paddle, and a hard whiffle ball. It is played doubles only - service must go cross-court like in tennis, and you're not allowed to volley the return. The nature of the game really encourages net-play, however there's an area adjacent to the net on both sides a couple feet long called "the kitchen" that you are not allowed to step in unless the ball bounces in it - you must then remove yourself from the kitchen before a return is made. Scoring is similar to volleyball in that you can only get a point when you are serving.

I've only played it a few times now but I'm hooked. What's awesome is that even fat 80-year-old women can be decent at it if they can move just a little and got the skills.

Honestly dude, you're coming on here saying that you should actively play in a sport as opposed to watching it, and you're on here talking about fuckin' pickleball.

You're a clown. You could probably watch 3 games of football and win a game of pickleball even if you starved yourself. Congrats. Go play a taxing sport before you start slinging shit like that around. And i'm not talking about like when you played the bench in high school.
