So everyone in the neighborhood including my GF has gone mad for Pickle Ball. Basically tennis for oldfúcks who can't move.

I played in various racquetball leagues for 20+ years until the shoulder decided I'd had enough. Not sure I will enjoy it much unless there is a lot of drinking is involved.

Anyone doing this thing?

Check with deflave, pickleball fits the Ruckus lifestyle to a T.

Soccer mom schit and older women trying to trap their next victim.

Sister transitioned from tennis to pickleball. Many of the local high schools have converted a few tennis courts. It's a fast paced game.

It is growing like crazy on college campuses.

Have a cousin that's been playing it for decades. At least three, probably going on 4 now. And she's 8 years or so older than I am and looks awfully healthy for her age.

I can't complain about anyone doing anything that's "healthy exercise".

And if younger folks want to take it up, oh well it's not HOCKEY, but it keeps them moving and off the couch, right?

Go give it a whirl. I'll bet in 10 minutes those "soccer moms and old women" will have you crying for your daddy.

Could be a decent place for old single dudes to go find a reasonably healthy gal?

Pickleball is a stupid name, but it'll kick your ass.

Been around since the 60’s.

Man, I played it back in high school, but this thread is probably the first time I've heard it mentioned in the 20+ years since.

Give it a whirl and see if you have the same opinion. I dare you to play singles instead of doubles...

Which is 98% of the fire faithful.

LOL

Post a video or link, or it does not exist!

.........I agree.. I've heard about it but haven't actually seen it yet. I'd love to see a video and some linked info on this topic.

Guilty, which is why pingpong is my game…..

I've been known to do some wine and a few beers at times.

These are two of the best guys in the world, playing singles. There are good reasons that most people play exclusively doubles.

Looks like too many rules and one never gets to check the other players like in



HOCKEY!

It's just small tennis.

Still stalking me because I called you out for being a full of schit blow hard, you little chkunt? You couldn't follow me around all day. I'd throw you around the gym like a raggedy ann doll.

What, no fu*ken helmets, Pauly needs to step in and show them how a real man does it.

True, but you can lay down some pretty epic welts if you have fast hands and good coordination.

When I take the grandkids to the playground I have to walk by pickleball courts....slow old people playing a noisy game.

Is that legal?

Seems like with all them other rules there'd be one against smashing it at your opponent.

Or................maybe one just says...........................




Oops?

Tennis to pickle ball = same degeneration as handball to racquetball.

Yes, it's legal and results in winning the rally. Most people frown upon smashing your opponent above the waist intentionally, but accidents and "accidents" are part of the game. There is also a strategy of trying to hit the non-receiving opponent during a serve if that person isn't paying attention. Totally legit and wins the point.

The rules can appear to be a bit overwhelming, but it's pretty easy to catch on if you get out there and play with people who know the game.

I stopped watching when they took a knee.

Sheesh - VG

Lol. How's that secret squirrel pretend ignore working out there, douchenozzle?

And pussies use ignore.

Got drug into “keeping score” for a pickle ball fundraiser this summer. Like low-speed tennis. Rule heavy.

Real worthy cause the fundraiser, great people organizing it, and playing about trying to learn it was fun.

But, hell, what a magnet for seasoned citizen snobbery and douchebaggery! It was movie material.

Do what you're good at. Go suck a cock, you little chkunt.. And blather about schit you haven't a clue about.

Walking the dog this morning I passed a doubles game. This one athletic gal sees a watermelon return and overhand smashes that little ball for some sizzling chin music at the only man in the foursome who says "WHOA!".

I laughed. They all laughed. They were having fun.

So what's with the hate over a sport where folks can socialize and keep themselves active and fit?

Campfire has always had a serious "stop liking something I don't" pov.

around here it is mostly women in their 40-50's and mostly out of shape playing it...

Do nothing old guys that pull a muscle getting off the couch. Also new things like round abouts and pickle ball confuse them.

Guys that change handles and post as a different person are real hardazzes.

Big around here. They’ve converted a couple of the local park courts over permanently and have leagues.

I've poured concrete for courts at retirement communities, but I've never actually seen it played... thought, small tennis.

Kent

where do I sign up?

Some of you guys talk about sucking cock like it’s a bad thing.

Pussy

Never heard of it.

Seems Interesting?

I've played a few times, it's entertaining. Kind of like a cross between tennis and ping pong.

Some people take it much too seriously though. Kind of like rec league softball. that way.

Missing you.

Wish you were here, you loudmouth chkunt.

Lol

You like being trapped and robbed?

You prolly like them beating your dick with a belt, too.

Lol

You jerking off to me under your yellow rain jacket?

Lol

Yeah, when you think you got the game down play singles. Much different game.

Some people take any and all competition much too seriously.

In my opinion, pickleball singles is a lot more challenging than tennis singles.

looks like over size ping pong.

If you're not the winner................................................






guess what...........................................





you're the LOSER!

Ah, that's a bunch of BS, you want to bet on it??

A game so gay it could only have been invented by a millenial.

Actually, My Grand parents had a pickle ball court at their place while I was growing up. That game has been around since millennials were just a twinkle in their father's eye.

Pickleball is a girly man sport.

Handball is for real men.

I was under the impression that only Messicans played hand ball.
Figured it was something you learned in the jail yard.

Anyone else miss the old days of the Campfire when topics like this could be discussed without all the 7th grade insults?
