It's a thing here in Bella Vista. I should give it a try, due to having an artificial knee I can't do anything that requires running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I took pickleball lessons last year. We played each other (no score-keeping) for a couple months, then we over-did it and hurt her elbow. We let that rest over the winter, then played a dozen or so times this summer. Our HOA has a tennis court we use. We aren't good or particularly competitive, but it really is fun. @Quillback When my son was in early High School, he was very into Parkour. He was pretty good at it, could do all sorts of flips on the ground and off walls and trees, etc... fun to watch! He got a number of his friends into it as well. Anyway, he wanted a Bosu Ball to practice off of...and one day we had it in the the house. He ran from the kitchen, launched himself off the Bosu Ball into the living room, did a mid-air flip, and accidently kicked the ceiling fan down! 😅 snagged in outlet 3, Ham, BilletHead and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin Phil Lilley Posted September 21, 2023 Author Root Admin Share Posted September 21, 2023 We've lost quite a few guys to pickleball from basketball. They keep trying to get me to play... I tell them I will after I retire from BB. I did play a couple of weeks ago for fun. I had trouble getting low enough to hit it. The paddle is too short... I'm used to a tennis racket. I played alot of ping pong and tennis growing up. snagged in outlet 3 and Quillback 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I also have ceiling fans, I don't want to be knocking them down! FishnDave and BilletHead 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinwrench Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I can't get anybody to play badminton with me since the kids are gone. Everyone says I take it too seriously. What the heck? The goal is to WIN, right? 😅 snagged in outlet 3 and Quillback 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snagged in outlet 3 Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I like pickle ball, Ping pong and badminton too. We have courts at the condo and there is always someone playing. Also a couple hoops. Great way to knock out a little activity and it’s fun. FishnDave and Quillback 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now they whip up on me. Hard to beat 6’3” 37 year old. Even my youngest in her 20’s puts the hurt on me. I deserve it though😂. Pay backs.

At least she wants to be baptized so I can’t complain. snagged in outlet 3 and BilletHead 2 "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
