    Why do pickleball players have a giant tennis sized bag?

    I have a TW backpack that handles everything I need for PB, but I'm not a pro who may be using whatever his/her sponsors want to promote. I see the same thing with badminton as some players show up with Yonex bags that hold a locker room full of stuff. Personal preference, and fine by me.

    Tennis withdrawals during winter

    Regarding g'strokes in badminton, I hit topspin clears and sliced drops as well as flat. I've tried to adapt to the lunging dominant leg footwork for badminton, but too old and set in tennis ways to succeed. For me mobility is more of an issue than footwork. What upset my groundstrokes in...

    Tennis withdrawals during winter

    The first couple winters I hit indoors on an empty racquetball court wall. Eventually I started playing pickleball. Then ping pong, badminton, pool, and chess. The winters went by much faster.

    Tools for new stringer (after much research)

    Like jim e I used the string thing for my tennis rackets. Now I only string badminton rackets for myself and use a plastic letter opener to tap the strings straight if needed. Works well and zero dollars.

    Tennis umpire jokes

    I was never an umpire, but I was Chicago linesman of the year in 92 and did a few matches with MacEnroe. He behaved like a gentleman. The $20.00 I was paid would get me lunch today at Joong Boo 33 years later.

    How do you feel about tailgaters?

    A man and his wife are driving on a highway and come up behind a car that's going too slow. Honey, look at this idiot. We have to get around him he's driving way too slow.

    In the late 90s I did a similar concept image for stock with a variety of coins instead of a paper bill. I called mine "Frozen Assets" but I like your description better.

    Million Dollar Paddle Idea

    Owl makes the Silent Storm paddle with a carpet like surface. Said to be almost noiseless when hitting the ball. I'm tempted to try one, but it's 100 bucks.

    Social doubles - all-out or hold back?

    Sometimes it's hard to hold back without looking condescending. I too play lefty a lot, but if people know me, they comment right away like I'm dismissing them as too easy. If they don't know you, I would try to just keep the ball in play and hit to the stronger player. That's presuming they...

    PB is now an official high school varsity sport in Montgomery Maryland

    Maybe you already know, but if you're lobbed and can't hit the overhead, your partner has the angle to run dow the lob much easier than you back pedaling or having to turn around before you can chase it down. The same applies to your partner being lobbed. Even at 74 I can chase down a lob over...
