Pickleball - Here To Stay

2025 was the year of pickleball, a relatively new sport that's a hybrid of tennis and ping pong, played at a less intense pace than other racquet sports. Pickleball has enjoyed tremendous growth in popularity, with people from all walks of life picking up the paddle to not only have fun, but also socialize with friends, family, and strangers. With pickleball courts now THE place to be for active people, will we see a slowdown soon? Andrew Lee, co-founder of Pickle361, joins us on the show to chart the growth of pickleball here in Malaysia and whether it's here to stay.
