          BETWEEN A TENNIS RACKET AND A PICKLEBALL PADDLE? A TENNIS RACKET IS BIG, STRUNG WITH WIRES AND BUILT FOR POWER AND HEAVY SPIN. 
          ON THE OTHER HAND, A PICKLEBALL PADDLE IS SOLID, MUCH SMALLER, LIGHTER, AND CREATES A GAME FOCUSED ON STRATEGY, DINKING, AND QUICK REACTIONS WITHIN THE KITCHEN. 
          TENNIS RACKETS ARE BUILT FOR A MUCH LARGER COURT. 
          AND NOW THAT YOU KNOW THAT INFORMATION, WE'LL SEE YOU OUT THERE. 
          [00:07:13]
ON THE LINE IS 'IN' IN PICKLEBALL. 
          IF YOUR BALL LANDS ON THE SIDELINE, BASELINE, CENTER LINE, OR EVEN THE KITCHEN LINE, EVEN JUST BY A HAIR, A LITTLE DIMPLE OR AN EDGE, IT'S STILL GOOD. 
          KEEP PLAYING, NO PROBLEM. 
          THERE'S JUST ONE EXCEPTION. 
          IF YOUR SERVE TOUCHES THIS KITCHEN LINE, THAT'S A SHORT SERVE OR A FAULT. 
          OTHER THAN THAT, THAT'S IT. 
          PLAY, HAVE FUN, AND MOST OF ALL, ENJOY THE GAME.
