Tell me what you think about this sport?

Question

I was at Lucilles last night eating dinner when I saw tennis but on the beach. Its played on a volleyball court and you use tennis rackets and tennis balls. I thought this was the stupidest most idiotic sport I have ever seen. I think it makes tennis look bad. Tell me what you guys think out there. Have you guys heard of it? I swear it was so stupid. I played tennis for 4 years and they make it look like a dumb *** version on bat mitting. I can't spell. : )

Answer 1

Beach always made sports bad.  Whoever decided to put sand on a volleyball court needs to be shot.  The only reason beach volleyball exists is because volleyball is not popular enough of a spectator sport to create a professional organization of indoor volleyball such that there are enough teams with at least 6 players each on them.  Thus, they resort to only needing 2 players each on a beach volleyball team.  But even most professional beach volleyball players would prefer to play indoors.

So to answer your question, as tennis is my favorite sport, beach tennis can be played casually, but never seriously.

Answer 2

Nadal used to play that. That's how he got those calves to be so huge.

Answer 3

I don't think that would really be considered "playing tennis".

The ball cannot bounce on the sand.

You'd essentially be just volleying.

May as well be playing badminton or volleyball, but certainly not tennis.

Answer 4

never heard of it.

Answer 5

do you mean bad mitten!?

Answer 6

Its call beach tennis but normaly you need to have a smaller net and little raquets (in wood). The ball is in plastic and its like 3cm by 3cm the ball.

thats beach tennis!

Answer 7

Ok first off for ALL of you it's BADMINTON; one word!  Sorry pet peeve of mine...  I think it's a clever idea that sounds like a great way to get moving in the sand.  I don't feel that it hurts tennis at all, because it hardly even resembles tennis other than the ball and racket.  I haven't seen it personally, but I really want to play it because I'm always looking for beach sports to play in the summer!  Anyways, don't be so bitter, because the aim is not to defile our sport, but rather to find a new way to be active.
