And why are the people who play it knobby about it?! 🤣

It's nothing LIKE pickleball!
It's not tennis!
No, not similar to squash.
It needs a SPECIAL court you know and most places are members only...

I don't care, it looks like tennis for old people.

(Side note- it's my shitty arsehole ex who keeps pretending it's, like, SO exclusive and I wouldn't understand... Mate, if you want to play posh ping-pong instead of see your kids, rock on!)

It's very popular in Spain. I didn't realise people in other countries played it too

Why the snobby attitude?

As pp said, it's very popular in Spain.

And it does have similarities to squash.
