[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pickleball was fairly easy transition for me because I already had good groundstrokes, footwork, anticipation, overhead, court coverage. Learning the “soft game” of dinking took a while longer.  [b]Most tennis players come in as “bangers” but realize you cannot progress to 4.0 and higher levels without soft game[/b]. [/quote]

The answer depends on single or double PB.  Single PB is very similar to tennis.  You don't need as much "dink" in single PB as I do in double PB.  I am a 12 UTR tennis and it takes me three weeks to become a 5.4 single PB player.[/quote]

That sounds about right.

How many DUPR matches do you have so far?  [/quote]

DP.  I played about 100 DUPR single matches so far, won 90 and lost 10.  All of those ten losses came at from ex-tennis players.

All of the top 10 PB players, with the exception of Dylan Frazier, are former tennis players.[/quote]

Those stats are impressive (if, indeed, true). You should try PPA Singles Qualifying draw and see how far you can advance.   There are a lot of people trying to break through.  [/quote]
