What Is Pickleball?

Pickleball is a racket/paddle sport that was created by combining elements of several other racket sports. Two or four players use solid paddles to hit a perforated hollow polymer ball over a net. The ball is much like a Wiffle ball, with 26-40 round holes. A similar to tennis, and the paddles are similar to those in table tennis
