@yakkoTDI No. It is where you smash pickles, preferably dill, put the results in a round ice cube maker, freeze, and voilà you have pickle balls. My kid would love them. She freezes pickle juice to make pickle juice popsicles. There was a drawback though as it turned her mouth a salty, “gee you have detention again dear ?” mess.
@yakkoTDI It’s another variant of “bean the weenie” but supposedly lacking the level of hazard that a well-volleyed tennis ball delivers. (I have no direct experience with this.)
I had to Google it. I guess it’s tennis. I was thinking about buying a racket, would probably consider buying this but it seems like the price point is around the same.
@actionPacked Bot seems to have gone long on the pickled and short on the balls from that command. But got the recipe/ingredients right! Look delicious as pickles!
@CraigDanger@TBoneZeOriginal though, like tennis (or cars), you can probably find a steal at a thrift shop or online. Unlike a tennis racquet (or cars), it’s not as cheap to revitalize ($20 set of strings)
SideDeal has the good stuff. 2 for $50 and some of the models offered there appear to be newer. $70 is about the cheapest I’ve seen a raw T700 paddle and these are $25 a piece. I went for the Current Force 16 model.
To follow up on the point by @troy… the Pickleball federation just last week actually BANNED a paddle from tournament play because it was too powerful. Seriously.
@troy Okay, you told me what they’re made of, but not really how they’re different.
For players, what does that mean? I guess @haydesigner gets closer – a good paddle can make the game too fast? So maybe the cheaper ones are less likely to get outlawed?
I still do not fully understand pickleball as a concept. I guess it was originally meant to be a lower impact variant of tennis for older folks? Maybe? But these days some people take it so seriously that it might as well be a major league sport in their minds. Damn near $200 for a single paddle for this sport is not something I can wrap my head around. It seems like a cross between tennis and paddleball that takes itself WAY too seriously.
@haydesigner@PooltoyWolf Then your parents probably wouldn’t be interested in the two I found on a curb alert with kid names in magic marker written on them. On the other hand if you are 9, 10 and 11 you not only like them but you fight over them because, well, there should have been 3 at that curb alert. Now if the dogs would just stop chewing on the tennis balls that go flying through the yard.
@PooltoyWolf There’s a blog called Asheville Explorer (the author is based in Asheville, NC) and an occasionally-recurring theme is how entitled the local pickleball players are.
From the description: “ The advanced polypropylene honeycomb core technology features a responsive sweet spot that provides a consistent feel and vibrations.” Maybe @indifferentdude is onto something.
I was just looking for a new paddle over the weekend…for $30 I’ll give this a try. Online reviews seem to be good for it.

I’m surprised the margarita joke didn’t go the route of
Can it make a margarita: No, but since pickleball is basically big ping-pong, you could play margarita pong.
I know, ping-pong paddles aren’t used for beer pong. But if you wan’t to drink something, why don’t you just drink it? If you want to make a margarita, you don’t really need our permission. (unless you’re driving or otherwise affecting other people’s safety…)
Have you ever said to yourself, “I don’t particularly like tennis but I’d play Ping Pong if it were a little bigger.”? Well, buddy, have I got some news for you…
@AnAlbumParty won’t be expecting the full urologist report of state of your pickles (more than 1?) and balls, but still not sure about what equipment you are referring to.
Great question why would I buy another paddle when I own 3??? I think it was the price, that pesky American “wow that is cheap” … or I want to be the only one on the court with a Rokne… a very unpleasant word
F*** pickleball. Supposed to be a game for us old farts but the avocado toast crowd has stolen it. Fine, keep it, i don’t care. It’s a fuc**** stupid name anyway. Go play a game or two and head over to Chipolte and grab some E-Coli.
I went on website for Rokne pickleball paddles. And this is a great deal. Spent to $240 for my paddle and boy I wished this had been around. Bought 2! Thank you
my buddy was literally texting me yesterday trying to convince me to play pickleball with him this weekend because he was trying to get into it… I think I can confirm meh is just a front for the NSA at this point
It had to happen. So many mfrs, and good ones, that somebody just had too many. In this case I hope they made their nut on the retail sales. Now I’m going to have to explain to my wife why, once again, Meh just got me with a crazy price.

Pickleball? Is that the new beans and frank?
@yakkoTDI No. It is where you smash pickles, preferably dill, put the results in a round ice cube maker, freeze, and voilà you have pickle balls. My kid would love them. She freezes pickle juice to make pickle juice popsicles. There was a drawback though as it turned her mouth a salty, “gee you have detention again dear ?” mess.

Pickleball? Not since I gave up the hard stuff years ago.
I had to Google it. I guess it’s tennis. I was thinking about buying a racket, would probably consider buying this but it seems like the price point is around the same.
Pickleball is more like an adult-sized ping pong. Seriously.
@haydesigner So ping pong is child-sized?
@haydesigner Where you play standing on the table.
@AaronLeeJohnson I think it looks more like sixnis or sevennis.
/showme pickled balls
@actionPacked Bot seems to have gone long on the pickled and short on the balls from that command. But got the recipe/ingredients right! Look delicious as pickles!
@JWhirly probably not the first time the bot has done it.
$180 for a flat piece of plastic. Dare I say…Meh
@CraigDanger It’s more than just “plastic”. Well-constructed carbon fiber paddles are worth owning if you play, and they get very expensive.
@CraigDanger @TBoneZeOriginal though, like tennis (or cars), you can probably find a steal at a thrift shop or online. Unlike a tennis racquet (or cars), it’s not as cheap to revitalize ($20 set of strings)

@armada120 thanks for flagging this. Picked up the Pipeline 16. Good deal in Meh, better on Side Deal
@armada120 where are you seeing for $50 on sidedeal? It appears to be one for $50
I can take 10% off with my VMP, but that still doesn’t get it to that pricing
@armada120 @jasont2
@armada120 Thank you! Those did not show up for some reason when I searched
@armada120 @jasont2 did the coupon work for you? I got the middle finger
Okay how is this better than the 2 for $30 — with balls! — over c’here?

@stinks these are T700 carbon fiber with texture and from an actual brand name, whereas those are fiberglass

These would be PERFECT for an “Attitude Adjuster” or some kinky BDSM foreplay!! Just drill some holes for added reinforcement!
@IndifferentDude Yeehaw! Where do I sign up?!
@IndifferentDude tbh this was my first thought
, an addition to my toy collection.

Wait until @PooltoyWolf finds out how much top of the line tennis racquets cost…
@haydesigner I know exactly how much they cost. My parents both play.

Does this mean that the pickleball craze is falling out of fashion? From my friends of a certain age, that’s all they talk about.
/showme a pickle with a cone of shame around it’s neck after having it’s balls removed.
“The fk is pickleball?”
@Coldwyn It killed Matthew Perry.
Have you ever said to yourself, “I don’t particularly like tennis but I’d play Ping Pong if it were a little bigger.”? Well, buddy, have I got some news for you…
think of it as tai chi fast…movement.
kind of a pre-cursor to the green jello, wheelchair and recitations of symptoms in the day room.
otoh wednesday is meatloaf!..gotta dash…bingo nite!
I’m not finding the above as funny as I age… could go for some meatloaf.
First!
I just started playing pickleball in my 60’s. And outta nowhere I’m getting my a** whopped by 30 yr’olds - on the flipside, I’ve got new goals!!
wow, a Rokne pickleball paddle on Meh.
I did Knute see this sale coming.
/showme balls from various sports that have been pickled
@tkaos Bot got the ball shape right on this one! Good job, Bot, way to redeem yourself.
I feel like today’s headline Don’t Let The Losers Win speaks to more than just people’s obsession with pickle ball.
It’s like a cult…I bought 2
@Kedwards33 same and same
Could a pickleball person please share whether this is a good piece of equipment?
@806D2701 As a connoisseur of pickles and balls, I can confirm this is a good piece of equipment
@AnAlbumParty won’t be expecting the full urologist report of state of your pickles (more than 1?) and balls, but still not sure about what equipment you are referring to.
Great question why would I buy another paddle when I own 3??? I think it was the price, that pesky American “wow that is cheap” … or I want to be the only one on the court with a Rokne… a very unpleasant word
Can’t they be used for kid discipline?
F*** pickleball. Supposed to be a game for us old farts but the avocado toast crowd has stolen it. Fine, keep it, i don’t care. It’s a fuc**** stupid name anyway. Go play a game or two and head over to Chipolte and grab some E-Coli.
@dpenn1 who hurt you?
@dpenn1 @xneat can you show me on this doll where the pickleball player touched you?
Do I need this? No. Do I want it? Sure, I guess so.
I went on website for Rokne pickleball paddles. And this is a great deal. Spent to $240 for my paddle and boy I wished this had been around. Bought 2! Thank you
my buddy was literally texting me yesterday trying to convince me to play pickleball with him this weekend because he was trying to get into it… I think I can confirm meh is just a front for the NSA at this point
My iguana was getting cold
/giphy knitted-woolly-iguana
/showme Peter Piper picked a peck of pickleballs
It had to happen. So many mfrs, and good ones, that somebody just had too many. In this case I hope they made their nut on the retail sales. Now I’m going to have to explain to my wife why, once again, Meh just got me with a crazy price.
Been really getting into pickleball and I am an old fart. Forgot to post this.
/giphy unbearable-mournful-deer
Can’t believe so many people are into pickleball.
Also can’t believe the parks are charging to use the dilapidated public tennis courts (but the freshly made pickleball courts are free)
I need one paddle Rokne Curve Carbon X nightfall or lightening
