if you're in 30s (or less), take a bit of injury risk and play tennis or do oly lifts instead of retiring with pickleball. future self will thank you

calling the pickleball/padel top, tennis bottom

haha interesting, I never considered that. haven’t used a wooden racket even once, the small sweet spot must be very difficult.

Wooden tennis rackets play slower which reduces tennis injury... Harder to play with though!

it’s definitely easier and cheaper, I totally get the appeal

Grew up playing tennis, out of the target demographic for this cast now. Pickleball has a lower entry point in skill, is more social, and way cheaper. We are reaching saturation, but it feels like there is still more growth and it will continue to drain liquidity from the tennis pools.

Tennis is just way less accessible… much more fun and better workout though (I like them both)

don’t see it reversing as i see it flatlining. would be big if true tho
