http://www.usapa.org/places-to-play-pickleball/ if you guys want to find somewhere to play. Pickleballers are super friendly and provide a warm and welcoming environment for new players.

Why do you keep promoting a game designed for the elderly that is primarily played in old folks homes?

You're weird and obviously a socially awkward nerd with weak bones

For love of the game, bro.

Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America.

Pickleball is closer to table tennis than to regular tennis in that it is a game of quick reactions. Between good players at the net, it is a game of inches. The no-volley-zone (or the kitchen, as we call it) only extends 7 feet from the net on either side, so some of the exchanges are super quick like in table tennis. The pinnacle of pickleball play is really like Mario Tennis between good players (those quick exchanges at the net), except you actually have to aim and place shots.

Go get your ass handed to you by a bunch of seniors at your local community center - then you can insult Pickleball if you still desire.

4 people to 6 is pretty sick when talking percentages.

Only because Baby Boomers are aging into old folks' homes.

Looks like the tennis equivalent of mini-golf. Can't fathom why anyone would want to play that unless they just liked the smell of old men, maybe.
