Did you play today?

The joke in the US is that orthopedic surgeons love Pickleball...because of all the injuries

If you are a tennis player, you will be able to start playing pickleball immediately.

the only initial problem was the bounce is so low.. we ended up waiting for the ball to come to us, it never did...

The bounce and slower pace of the ball does take some time to get used to.

also, my legs were tired today, playing on hard court (we play tennis on clay)

Ah, the curse of age. It is the one thing that really tells you how old you are. In the past, one hour of hard court tennis was the same as one hour on clay. Now the recovery of one hour of playing on hards takes double than the hour on clay.
It was one of the things that I really liked about har tru: so much softer on the knees.

Played yesterday and it was a strange session: played well for 20 minutes. Water break. The next 20 were uneven; went through a big period in which I could not get the ball over the net. I was hitting well but everything was hitting the tape. Next water break, came back, and decided just to blast the ball. Not worry about form. I got a few BH's in that were not that bad.
I think it was that the balls were already pretty worn out, and I need to replace my grips. I am picky about that.

how many people here use that vibration dampener? I dont.. I think it is silly and of no use, but everyone else at the court uses them.

[ponchi101]

I use them. It makes the bed string feel softer.
But it is just a matter of taste. Put one on, hit for a few minutes, and then decide. It is not as if the difference will be that great.

I have used one for so long it feels bizarre without. I tend to try every time I get a new racquet but revert to using one
