Time For A New One? - a photo on Flickriver

            The handle on my pickleball paddle is getting quite worn. I probably would have replaced it by now, but I haven't played yet this year due to the coronavirus lockdown.

Macro Mondays: Handle theme

For those who may not have heard of pickleball, it's a game played with a paddle using a plastic ball with holes. It's played either indoors or outdoors on a badminton-sized court with a slightly modified tennis net.  It's said to be one of the fastest growing sports in America. With more than 3 million active players in the U.S., the game posted a 650 percent increase in numbers over the six years ending in 2019, according to one report that I read.

The sport got its name because the guy who invented it had a dog named Pickles that would chase the ball and run off with it when the game was being played.
