In the Swing
Where did the idea for pickleball come from? Here are four sports that came before it. They are played with paddles or rackets.
Ping-pong (above) is played with a paddle. Players hit a small ball across a table. The ball weighs almost nothing.
Tennis players use a racket. They take big swings. A tennis court is big. Players run to hit a ball.
Badminton is played with a racket. There is no ball. Players hit a plastic birdie. It flies over a high net.
Squash players also use a racket. The game is played indoors. The ball bounces off the walls.
