This reminds if the padel craze we had here in the EU during the pandemic. A lot of the padel courts where I lived went bust when the pandemic was over and people returned to working. Who will win out, padel or pickleball?

Padel has newfound traction in Miami. They are very similar, but the low barrier to entry will allow PB to thrive as a sport. I’m not very bullish on the media product of PB as a professional sport.

Pickleball is a far better business opportunity than padel. Padel is very expensive in that it requires courts with walls and astro turf as well as requiring more surface area per court. The price of the infrastructure per padel player served is 4 to 6 times the cost of pickleball. As well, the time required for a player to go from new to having fun on the court is much, much longer in padel (as it is in tennis). Here is Uruguay, they are just starting to reach the "bust phase" of padel. I actually talked to a court builder and asked how many people does he see playing padel and he said not many but there is lots of interest in building courts because the owners "heard" that everyone is playing padel. I currently play pickleball at two abandoned padel courts. In business, you go with the numbers and the numbers clearly show it is pickleball.

Pickleball is growing and growing in the US. It's not slowing down anytime soon. COVID stopped it for about months, then started to pick up slowly. Now it's picking up fast again. I've seen lots of tennis courts disappear and get converted to pickleball courts. In pickleball it's easy to go to random strangers and mix in and play with some people. I can't think of many other sports that you can do that.

they are shutting down our indoor soccer leagues to convert the field to pickleball. Hopefully this is a short term thing.

I don't know if a single person commenting here has ever played this game seriously or is thinking critically about this "fad". Just try it with people that can sustain at least a 5 shot rally and you'll see why there's only two types of people in this world, those that don't play and those that are addicted.

Just saying, why not build more concrete outdoor ping pong table? You could fit 4 ping pong table on 1 pickle ball courts. And you could play until you’re 90s and on wheel chair

Dude, played for the first time yesterday. So fun. The only curious thing is that it took me about 15 minutes to learn and after that I beat all my friends at 11-point matches. Even beat them playing 1v2. I'm a skilled tennis player. I think there is a cross-over there that makes it TOO EASY for tennis players to take advantage of pickleball tournaments.

Even then, singles PB can be quite exhausting when you play a similar player (particularly rally types). Its almost always your opponent that makes something 'difficult' (or not) anyway.

Pickleball is played all over the world now. So many more young players are coming into this sport, more than older people... I know this since I have been playing at Chicken n Pickle for over a year now, and it's very hard to reserve a court here because the courts are always fully booked.
