A slightly faster game of badminton- how thrilling lol. Watched a few games of pickleball- nope, wasn’t impressed with it. Its like ping pong with larger paddles. Much rather watch tennis.

One of my nephews was a nationally ranked badminton player. At that level of play, it’s not much like the kids-in-the-backyard version. Really good table tennis is a far cry from rec-room play, too.
Never played or watched pickleball.

You're not supposed to watch it - you're supposed to play it. I wouldn't be surprised if the State has put out the dictate that pickleball shall be discouraged - because it might result in healthier people, especially seniors, who then won't be as dependent on the medical industry.

Sorry. PB is an incredible game to play, and watch.
It's already being played by more people than tennis. It's an ascendant sport. It's now an olympic sport. Tennis courts being converted everywhere is proof of how it's regarded now.
