PKP Ep. 010 – A Conversation About Pickleball Etiquette

Hi!

Just started listening to your podcasts today while at work in Arizona, and I love them and consider it a nice way to advance my game when not drilling or playing. I am a true pball addict and can’t get enough of the fun!!

Love etiquette on the court. In regard to the start of the game, your mention of exchanging names in the beginning really helps brake the ice and create a fun atmosphere.

In regard to the after game paddle ‘good game’ moment, I think the way to go is to tap the head of the paddle and not the handle. Unless of course your paddle costs over $200. And you want it to remain dentless, but thinking about general hygiene is a better focus. Germs are spread with our hands subconciously touching our face, mouth etc all through the game. As we all know, viruses, colds and bugs are spread this way so why not just hit paddle heads for overall good general health!

Thx for all the great info!! I am an indoor, outdoor Arizona pball lover and will share your podcast info.

Thank you,
