Let's Play & Learn Pickleball

As I am playing and coaching table tennis at St. Pete Athletic, a tri-paddle racket club, I will begin playing some pickleball casually. 

I expect this will help me understand what skills transfer over between the two disciplines, which will be helpful in training pickleball players to play table tennis.

Additionally, pickleball is a very social and active sport. I believe the fitness demands will help my table tennis game and the social aspect should be quite fun!


My Pickleball Equipment

I purchased a solid racket to get into the game from Friday Pickleball. You can find their items here!

My racket is on the way (label created status... grr!). I ordered the Fever 102 - Widebody because I felt this shape would make sense for a table tennis player transitioning to pickleball. I think it is not too slow and not too fast, which also makes sense. Let's see how it goes!
