You ever notice how pickleball is like the Goldilocks of sports? Tennis is too big, ping pong is too small, but pickleball? Pickleball is just right. It’s like the sport was designed by a group of bears trying to find the perfect court size. “This one’s too large, this one’s too tiny, but ah, pickleball—perfect for a bear and his paddle.”

What’s the deal with pickleball? It’s like tennis and ping pong got together and said, “Let’s have a baby, but make it easier.” I mean, you’re playing with a paddle the size of a skillet and a ball that looks like it’s on vacation from a Wiffle ball game. It’s like they took all the intensity of tennis and dialed it down to a casual game of kitchen table ping pong. But hey, at least it gives retirees a reason to say, “Back in my day, we didn’t have pickleball. We just sat on the porch and argued about the weather.”
