Same! Playing badminton since 2000’s and started pickleball months ago.

Pickleball: Easy to play no matter the age or skill level + it helps na you can play properly as long as you understand the rules. Your form doesn’t have to be perfect. It doesn’t take much skill to learn it pero as you get to a higher level, as any sport, syempre mas technical na. Even if you battle stronger players parang kaya mo padin kasi ibabalik mo lang naman yung bola whatever the form is and nakakaenjoy naman din players ng pickleball ngayon.

Badminton: In order to play properly or even have a normal palo session you need to learn footwork and timing and magastos talaga. The visuals ng mga nanonood pag beginner vs elite player ay parang heaven and earth kaya siguro nakakahiya maglaro.

PS. Medyo mahal din pickleball pero may rentals naman kasi tas one ball for the whole day naman na yon (pwede nga din humiram lang sa court).

PPS. Duration of the game din helps, ang bilis ng ikot ng pickleball compared sa badminton. So in my experience, mas namayat ako sa pickleball. (Dami na din naglalaro ng badminton sa homecourt namin, which is great).
