Pickleball is a fun and friendly game for beginners; however, it can get intense if played amongst pro players. One can get a sense of seeing a tennis court while watching its court, but it is different in its dimensions and little in structure as well. Recently, netizens trolled this sport badly when a Facebook page called ‘Pardon My Take’ asked a question regarding the kit for the players. Even though it looks like tennis, it is much different and slower than it is. Henceforth, the netizens trashed the question and began bullying the existence of the pro-level of the sport.

What did the netizens say about pickleball?

Pickleball is played on a 44′ long and 20′ wide court. The pickleball court is a bit like volleyball also, as it has a 7′ no-volley zone. Other than that, the net is 34 inches in the center, whereas 36 inches in the sideline. However, the sport is mostly like tennis, but with a number of modifications to its rules. Nevertheless, the netizens completely wiped out the pro category for this game and called it a game for lazy people. Although, in reality, it needs a lot of stamina, presence of mind, and agility.
