Same. I play once or twice a month when some friends that play weekly need a 4th. I still don’t understand all the rules and scoring, and definitely prefer tennis, but there are worse things to be doing after work. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
My issue that access to tennis is easy at my Florida condo and pickleball access is easy when I am back north summers.
Neither sport access is easy in both locations.
Wondering if playing both is realistic for recreational. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
You are able to adjust between the 2 comfortably? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Not really. I’m not very good at pickleball because I use my normal Tennjs swing, which doesn’t always work in that game. I don’t play enough for it to effect my Tennjs negatively. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |

In my Florida HOA we have top quality courts, leagues, coach, all included in the expensive fees.
A few pickleball courts were added as an afterthought by the builder, which are now jammed.

I have a tennis partner who played loads of racquet/paddle sports before getting into tennis. He's very good at tennis now even though he hasn't played for a long time. His suggestion to me, when I told him my job was starting pickleball lessons during lunch, was that it would probably improve my tennis game even thoug... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Yes, although tennis takes precedence and I just do open play pickleball or with some friends. I take tennis more seriously. It’s not too difficult to go back and forth. You can’t really hit the topspin like in tennis. That’s a good way to hit straight into the net everytime. Although you can still put spin on it. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Came to say this. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
All the time!
They’re two very different sports in my head, but physically are similar enough that I can kinda be good at both enough to enjoy them in different ways.

my old tennis coach actually, haha. Before he quit we made him a corny sign with a picture of him on it that said “born to play pickleball, forced to coach tennis” our team was all jokes, we miss him a lot | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
I play both regularly - 3 to 4 times a week and each.
I find them pretty much complementary. Playing tennis really helps your movement and spacing and your groundstrokes for pickleball.
The one thing I find is if I need to throw in some practice time for dinks and mid-court PB as tennis doesnt really help those.

Of course, i like having fun with my friends. Tennis is hard and not everyone has the time or patience to play it. Pickleball is easy and I can enjoy a racquet-adjacent sport with people i love. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
I don’t play pickleball but I have tennis friends that do and love both. It gets a ton of meme-like hate here but if you enjoy both there’s nothing wrong with playing both. I play a ton of table tennis and it’s never affected my tennis. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Yes. I find it difficult to find tennis players around since taking a 10 + year hiatus. To play in a competitive league or drop-in play, I would need a club membership. I have other hobbies (Muay Thai and BJJ gym) that I'm committed to since coming back. Pickleball has a low-learning curve and almost anyone can start p... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
I only play tennis. I've tried pickleball but I'd prefer to focus on one sport. Plus I'm too good of a tennis player to be playing pickleball. I like hitting the ball hard and through the court while in pickleball you don't feel the weight behind your shots and the strategy is to dink the ball just over the net. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
For recreational yes I would say so but me being an advanced tennis player, I only play tennis, which makes sense considering how long it took me to reach this level of play. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
I regularly play pickleball and tennis in the same day. I have a group of friends who like pickleball and another group of friends who prefer tennis.

I was playing pickleball with a starter paddle from Amazon and it had a slick plastic surface. I was having to hit everything flat.

At this point I can't help but be curious, how is it that one could come to the perspective that pickleball is a 'sport'? For my generation, playing various sports was mandatory throughout school, and so the distinction between a therapeutic activity vs a sport is plainly intuitive. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |

Yeah for sure | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-08-07 |
It will never be as pronounced as in tennis, I agree. You are probably in good shape with your paddle. I just noticed a difference in upgrading my paddle from the beginner 4-pack of paddles that I got on Amazon, to one that has a grippier face. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-09-07 |

I would personally try to smooth out where the racket pauses at your shin. I would try to just keep it in motion going back or up. Being nit picky here. Serve looks good. Your knee bend looks nuts in a good way. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
The follow through should be faster than when you hit the ball. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
It is very hard to see anything, but you are serving on the deuce side, so to your left. However, your entire body moves in the opposite direction - to the right. Toss the ball a bit to your left to allow you to move in the direction of the shot.
The other thing i find weird is that you are neither using platform no... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Consider lengthening your racket's follow through and letting it pass by your right hip. Having to stop your swing after contact may be working like an interruption in your flow and causing inconsistency. Following through past the right hip will also increase your torque, which will add power which ultimately means l... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Looks decent but you are out of balance and not fully pronating through contact. Keep working on it and you’ll build consistency! | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Its not weird, that its not a platform or pinpoint. This is called a narrow platform stance and its used by Andy Roddick. Both of his knees turn backwards and his butt sits inside the baseline, this is perfectly fine and is what Ben Shelton and Sam Groth does for their loading position.

Your upper half is pretty good. And it’s good to land in the court after hitting the ball, but you’re doing it before contact. Just work on your foot movement. Maybe try planting your left foot on the line and just bring your right foot forward and then jump into the court after contact. That will still give you a simi... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |

Drag your back toe vs stepping forward. Toss, load, drag, strike. (Landing inside the court!) | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
You regrip your racquet during your motion. It’s hidden by your body but that is 100% not a continental grip. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Get at least two lessons with a coach — you really need someone to break this down in real time for you and address each step with video review, then later evaluate progress. This is going to be mostly a complete rebuild. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
set up is ok just dont move the left foot only and step in like you do after you make contact with ball | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
You need a more continental grip. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Can you elaborate on that ? | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Conti grip. And keep a brick on the service line to prevent footfaulting when you practice | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |
Hard to see in the video but it looks like you want to rotate one bevel on the racquet at least. Maybe two. In the continental direction. Looks like you have a forehand grip right now. Google continental grip for serving if you don't know what I'm talking about. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |

It’s got to be this. There are so many things to unpick about your serve technique it’s not worth you asking reddit.
A coach will show you what to do, tell you what you are actually doing (because often you don’t even realise what you might be doing wrong) and give you a base to work from. | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |

There is a lot going wrong here. First do not walk while you serve. You plant your front (left) foot behind the baseline and you do no move it until you hop to hit the ball.
Second, try to use your lower back to toss the ball, not your arm. Watch some videos about that. What most advanced players do is they extend th... | r/10s | comment | r/10s | 2024-07-07 |

Your grip and contact point of the ball. You might think you’re doing continental but you’re not bc you’re not pronating through the ball. I think the ball toss can be higher so you’re not crunched up and really extending to maximize power.
