It's the fatter tennis.
But racquet ball is already white tennis, which is white badminton, which is just the white version of Battledore and shuttlecock.
White ness flow
Yard Polo > bocce ball > Paddleball > racket ball > badminton > tennis
The top Badminton players are mostly Asian with a few Danes. Badminton is very popular in Asia. It's as far from White as you gonna get.
I should've clarified. White ness is measured by how many pieces of Walmart brand equipment are mouldering in suburban garages.
My God that's white.
Aww man I love pickle ball. Met some great people. Plus there is a 10 court brew pub with a league. Don’t see tennis having that
😂
I remember playing pickleball in gym class and thinking it was a game the teachers in my school made up. Also I ain't never seen a minority in any racquetball court I've ever seen. Not that I go to many racquetball courts, buts it's always old white dudes.
