6. The Ball

Hitting a tennis ball in full flight can be quite difficult, requiring considerable strength and skill to return it. A pickleball, however, is a lot lighter, making the game less demanding and open to more players. The balls used in pickleball are similar to whiffle balls, only more durable.

There are no official rules on what type of balls should be used, but some clubs may have their own preferences. It is largely a matter of personal preference, and players will often prefer some balls over others according to whether they are playing inside or out. There is also no official stand on colors, but brighter colors are usually preferred for their greater visibility.
