I learned something. I thought paddle and platform tennis were the same thing. platform tennis being the second waspiest sport after fox hunting.
Pickleball can be loud...like people beating wooden baseball bats against telephone poles. I think that's been the only rub with the sport so far. All the tennis people I know like it because you can hold a beer in your other hand while playing.

My colleague Joe who played both and also traded different instruments shared the following: Pickleball is a lot of fun, but have you played paddleball!? I was introduced to both sports this year and I must say it is not even close. Playing pickle ball is fun, however playing paddleball is amazing! Its like trading futures vs stocks, once you go to futures there is no going back. Look it up, find a court and let me know!
