    Pickle ball is fun as shit. I play with the old people sometimes, I'm younger and can run faster but they are much more skilled then I am at getting the ball where they want it to go so it's fairly even. That reminds me, just another month or so till all the snow is gone and I can go play pickleball again :)

      That sounds fun af! True skills vs athleticism matchup going on right there

      I've heard too many stories of old people tearing a tendon playing pickleball to play against them haha. I've been told by others to never try to lob against elderly since they may harm themselves trying to reach it

      I also play pickleball like it's a giant table tennis so I generate stupid amounts of spin and have already broken the ankles (In the NBA sense) of a zoomer friend :yikes-3:
