I'm back. I still play some pickleball, but prefer tennis. I like the social aspect of pickleball but it has changed for the worse in the last year.

Dwell The Burg 16 mm. This is my main paddle now. Lots of power, but if you are a tennis player, you can control it with topspin. This underrated paddle plays more like a tennis racquet than any other paddle I’ve tried. My one-handed backhand drive is nice with it!

Folks taking it too seriously or what has been the main issue you think? We have a bit of that at my local courts sometimes, that and the "stronger" players trying to monopolize some of the courts.
I think the issue is that people can get to a fairly decent standard pretty quickly and a lot of players as a result get an inflated ego, whereas in tennis and other sports you really have to play for a lot longer and you may never reach the same competitive standard that you do in pickleball. I can play the top guys around my area in pickleball and be competitive but my days of doing that in Tennis are steadily diminishing as I get older.
