There are about 19,000 pickleball-related ER injuries per year in the U.S.

Pickleball is an ACL tear waiting to happen. Play tennis or ping pong instead.

Like anything, I'm sure you get out of it what you put into it.

“The game is spreading like gonorrhea in a Burning Man orgy tent.” The event just finished up a week or so ago. I heard the orgy tent got taken out in a windstorm.

I gave up competitive sports three decades ago. Now I hike, kayak, body surf, and engage in Shinkendo, all at a leisurely pace.

There was another sport I enjoyed, but I’m a widower, so that’s out the window.

At age 60 I switched from tennis to bocce. Never tried pickleball.

And that was for one reason only. “Bocce” sounds more dignified than “pickleball”.

One of our younger brothers, finally gave up on basketball and tennis.

He went to pickleball and loves it. He is 80.

I pass by pickleball courts while getting in my daily walking. No urge to join them but i wish them well. Staying active doing something is helpful.

Have to admit I do not know what it is.

Seen the name, that’s it.

My shop is in an industrial park where rent is about 1.00 a sq ft per month. Not long ago an indoor pickleball club rented 15,000 sq ft of shop space in a brand new building. I have no idea how they keep the lights on. I can’t imagine a place brings in enough memberships monthly to even cover the rent.

My physical therapist said Pickleball has been great for his industry. So many injuries.
