There you go! The world's fastest-growing sport is pickleball. All of these pickleball terms will give you a slang term to use the next time you're in the non-volley zone.
Try out that drop shot from your side of the net. You'll get zero points for table tennis or wiffle ball. Instead, pickle ball is where it's at.
In your next championship match, embrace that ball bounce like Novak and make sure the shot hit is full-on.
Hit the face of the paddle from the back of the court and consider entering a pickleball tournament.
Be gentle with a line call that doesn't go your way and encourage your friends and family to play on social media.
Whether you have a dominant forehand or you hit from both sides of the net, avoid unsportsmanlike conduct and stay in your area of the court. Enjoy!
