It's unfortunate some tennis players are that insecure about the sport they feel they must "get back" at pickleball players for some offense they apparently committed by choosing to play pickleball for fun and exercise.
Elitist tennis players will see Typti (like pickleball) as a non-skilled version of tennis for lazy people who don't want to run, instead of simply accepting it as another racquet or paddle sport like table tennis, pickleball, racquetball, squash, platform tennis, paddle tennis, padel and badminton.
Just because the racquet has strings doesn't mean it's anything like tennis. It's a completely different court, different type of racquet, different scoring, a lower net and uses a foam ball that one can strike with the hand over the net for specific shots. From observing it, using only traditional tennis tactics and patterns won't work - like the other sports mentioned above. As a multi paddle/racquet sport player, I look forward to trying it soon.
I'd love to see Typti happening side by side with pickleball. Perhaps, it will interest more pickleball players in racquet sports when they see it being played at a fairly high level.
Just play whatever you enjoy and makes you happy and let others enjoy whatever they choose to play. It all about having fun and getting exercise.

The sound from Pickleball really precludes a live-and-let-live attitude. As also their antics of taking over public tennis courts. That has reduced, but bad memories are still there.
For Pickleball players, the risk of eye injury is real and they would benefit from Typti, but that is up to them.
It is good though, because at my club we are using the sound as an excuse to not allow pickleball in more than one remote court because owners of homes nearby have already complained about tennis noise and we have strict rules about that.

Right! This video was to get back at pickleball to take over their courts with this. If anything, it’s a win for the pickleball court owners as opens their facility for typti. Lawn tennis players still lose out from the great conversion that occurred a few years ago when they repurposed the tennis courts to pickleball. Pickle ballers aren’t losing their courts as the tennis community did. I can’t see this as the “win” they are trying to make it seem like.

As people get older, weaker, gain weight and/or get injuries, they eventually stop playing competitive basketball.
Here is a new sport, called bukkit-ball. It is similar to basketball, but instead of a basket with a net, it uses a plastic bucket and a backboard.The portable bucket and small backboard can be attached and mounted on any pole. This new sport will be
much more accessible for adults and kids who love basketball but find it too difficult.
Rules & specifications:

Rules & specifications:
- Use smaller, kds' size 5 basketballs
- use lower, 7 foot high hoop, so more people can dunk
- small court that is 1/4 the size of a regular basketball court
- double dribble, traveling, and carrying the ball is allowed (similar to current NBA)

But bukkitball will monetize by requiring that bukkitball games use offical bukkitball buckets, which cost $ 349.99 per bucket and will last about 2 weeks.
The special smaller basketballs are same size as a size 5 kids ball, but have a special rubber designed to slide into the bucketd with the correct, allowable coefficient of friction.
These will cost $67.67 each
True, it is more for a social get-together or an indoor backup on a rainy day.
You didn't get the satire
