Pickleball combines tennis, badminton, and ping-pong, providing a fun and social way to stay active. Whether you're looking to improve your fitness or enjoy friendly competition, this sport is easy to pick up. Here’s how you can get started!
What is Pickleball?
Pickleball is played on a badminton-sized court with a net slightly lower than tennis. Players use paddles, like the Carbon T700 Paddle, which offers superior control, spin, and stability, making it ideal for both beginners and seasoned players.
Basic Rules
- Serve: Begin with an underhand serve. The ball must land beyond the kitchen.
- Double Bounce Rule: After the serve, the ball must bounce once on each side before volleys can begin.
- Non-Volley Zone (Kitchen): No volleying inside the kitchen unless the ball bounces first.
- Scoring: Only the serving team can score. Games are typically played to 11 points, with a 2-point margin needed to win.
- Faults: A fault occurs when the ball is hit out of bounds or the net isn’t cleared.
