Pickleball and table tennis, are two distinct racquet sports with notable differences: Court and equipment: Pickleball is played indoors and outdoors, on a court with specific dimensions, typically an outdoor or indoor hard surface court. It uses a solid paddle and a plastic ball with holes. The second sport, on the other hand, is played on a smaller table with a net dividing it into two halves. Players use small, lightweight paddles and a celluloid or plastic ball. Gameplay: Pickleball is played by hitting the ball over the net, aiming to keep it in play, and strategically placing shots to score points. The ball must bounce once on each side before volleys are allowed. Table tennis is played on a table, with players taking turns hitting the ball over the net, aiming to make the opponent miss or hit the ball out of bounds. The ball in it does not need to bounce before being returned.
