As of my last update in September 2024, there are approximately 40,000 to 50,000 pickleball courts worldwide. However, the sport is rapidly growing in popularity, and new courts are being built and converted from existing tennis courts every day! To give you an idea of the growth: - In 2020, there were around 20,000 pickleball courts globally. - By 2022, that number had doubled to around 40,000. While we're not yet at 1 lakh (100,000) #pickleball #courts, the sport's popularity and court construction are accelerating. It's possible that we'll reach that milestone in the next few years! Keep in mind that these numbers are estimates and may vary depending on the source. However, one thing is certain - pickleball is on fire, and its global presence is rapidly expanding!

From the "serve and volley" days with wooden rackets to today's baseline dominance, these changes reflect advancements in technology and strategy.

Slice is a shot that can create crucial advantage in to the modern tennis because breaks the opponent rhythm. Most of the players used to play the slice in few tactical situations but the real opportunities are more. Concrete difficulties come from the habit of playing 2 hands backhand and it’s not mentally easy to switch in a one hand shot. Even in the attacks to the net is very common to see players do it with a top spin or flat backhand In many cases a slice could be more efficient if played in the right spot of the court where the passing shot could have been few and tough geometries solutions. Last several statistics show the high percentage of winning points for the player that hit a backhand slice.
