Pickleball for Beginners: How to Play & The Surprising Story Behind Its Name

Pickleball, a fast-growing sport blending elements of tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, is beginner-friendly and fun for all ages. If you’re looking for a new hobby, here’s everything you need to know to get started.

What is Pickleball?

Pickleball is played on a smaller court with a net lower than tennis, using paddles like the Carbon T700 Paddle, which enhances control, spin, and stability. Its honeycomb polymer core reduces vibrations, making it ideal for players at any level.

Why Pickleball is Beginner-Friendly

  • Small Court Size: Less running, perfect for all fitness levels.
  • Quick Learning Curve: Even those new to racket sports can pick it up fast.
  • Low Impact: The smaller court and slower ball pace make it gentle on joints.
  • Social Game: Pickleball fosters community, and its inclusive nature ensures players of different skill levels can enjoy it.

How to Get Started

  • Gear: All you need is a paddle, ball, and access to a court. The Carbon T700 Paddle is a top choice for beginners and experienced players alike.
  • Basic Rules: The game starts with an underhand serve, and both sides must let the ball bounce once before volleys. Only the serving team can score, and games are played to 11 points, winning by 2.

Paddle Benefits

The Carbon T700 Paddle offers:

  • Wider Sweet Spot: For consistent, accurate shots.
  • Carbon-Charged Surface: Maximizes spin and shot control.
  • Honeycomb Polymer Core: Reduces vibration for smooth feedback.
