Recently I joined a company pickleball event. I'v never played before, never really bothered. But I play other racquet sports (badminton and squash).

Anyways, the experience turns out to be quite fun. We got some rented paddles and the cost was fully paid by the company.

Then today I research and see that the court fees are RM50+ for non-peak hours, and RM70-80 for peak hours. What the actual fuck?

Badminton courts cost like max RM20, and squash courts around the same, although squash courts seem far more expensive to build.

And the paddles cost like RM600+. What the fuck again?

Quality, branded squash and badminton racquets cost half as much and I've been using the same racquets since my teenage years (except restring and re-grip). Pickleball paddles seem like you need to replace every so often. Can someone please explain this nonsense to me.

new hype mah

Slowly dying liao

Hype

U wanna see amoi miniskirt and longkang?

Pay up

Just like how alcohol in club costs so much than alcohol at duty free

coz its selling a lifestyle, not a sport

btw mana drillz amoi play pickleball pandan????

because ada short skirt amoi showing white peha and wear tight tight for u to see, so it come with premium price compare to badminton

600+ for paddles? wtf? buy from Lotus's lah

I just play only, what people wear is up to them

You forgot one thing - equipment and shuttles.

Pickleball buy two bat one ball, can last for long time. But badminton, you need to string and grip rackets, then special shoes, and not forgetting shuttlecocks that can used up quickly. Hence why badminton courts are cheaper, else no one wants to play anymore.

How much?

balls to youuu

Paddle RM600+????

I bought mine from Decathlon for RM200

recommend me decent squash court.. thanks

Shuttles goose one easily RM100+ for 12 cocks
One session easily break 1-2 cocks @ RM20

Pickle balls last longer and cheaper around RM5-10 per ball
Can last few session unless u keep smacking hard it broke
Kekwa

if play alone memang expensive

Badminton need to encourage all ladies to wear miniskirts and sports bra. Can charge RM100/hr for courts.

because badminton 1 hour settle the game. Pickleball ehe ehe ehe 3 hours still not settle.

Badminton court max is Rm 20 - Not true. Average is Rm20 - Yes.
Play racquets is in the range of 100-200.
Game is easily 400-600 range.
Some racquets are in the range of 900-1k+
