Paddles vs rackets Wars are coming

Sup everyone! This is Picklewho, your ultimate source for the latest updates on the sport that's got folks of all ages saying, “I’m finally learning to appreciate life”. Believe it or not that’s a direct quote from both my grandma and my unacknowledged 2-year old son.

In today's edition, we are once again reminded that when people love you, haters are still gonna hate. Thank you for enlightening us in advance, Mrs. Swift.

But fear not, we also added a fun surprise to lighten the mood by the end of this post. Without any further do, here we go!

• Tennis players declare war against the highly superior Pickleball courts as if they could win LOL

• Minnesota golfers do pretty much the same as the last headline to avoid pickleball from “taking away” their courts.

• Pickleball 1 - Depression 0.

Brace yourselves: Paddles vs rackets Wars are coming

We all knew this was bound to happen. After all, Pickleball did come after tennis (and ping pong and badminton but we kinda forget them). As Pickleball continues to soar, tennis feels left behind, hiding in the shadows. But tennis merely adopted the shadows, pickleball was born in it. It’s a nice fight. 

As states replace tennis courts for pickleball courts, the opposition continues to grow with tons of players begging the government to please, stoooooop!

Let’s make things clear. We have nothing against our granddaddy tennis, but let’s face it. Pickleball growth is unstoppable.

And now…golfers

Or as most of us call them: the fellas who keep asking us to invest in Bitcoin.

You see, this one was a surprise. Not gonna lie there. All of the 7 people In Minnesota who truly enjoy golf for the game and not for closing deals are putting up quite a fight. Most of them want the state to place money on the development of the golf courts instead and so far, they’ve collected over 600 signatures against the project (!!!).

So why is this a surprise? Well, the government made it very clear that the construction of new pickleball areas won’t substitute the golf course, so… What’s the matter, golfers?

Aren’t we allowed to have fun? Mini-golf players aren’t this stubborn.

Study says Pickleball is good for your fitness and your mood!

Sad news behind, let’s end this the right way. The happy way. The pickleball way.

I’m putting that on a shirt.

A recent study confirmed Pickleball’s effectiveness to increase fitness and fight depression. The reasons are quite simple:

• Since we play Pickleball in small courts, players run all the time with high intensity, improves blood pressure and cardiorespiratory fitness

• It VERY fun. Combine that factor with the allowed banter between players (also known as friendly trash talk) and you have a top recipe for your well-being.

Feeling slightly bitter, tennis and golf players? Maybe you should give Pickleball a try!
