Pickleball presents an interesting challenge with sports tile surfaces because the surface is plastic and the ball is plastic. In other backyard paddle sports, the ball is typically a low pressure tennis ball that can be hit full force, but not travel as far.
With plastic pickleball balls, players frequently complain that sports tile courts have dead spots all around the court. There are new rubber-infused tile products we have available that combat this issue and there are also high-traction plastic pickleballs that minimize the dead-spot issue.
Before you buy new tile from a local dealer, ask to speak to some of their previous customers who have purchased the pickleball tile, and see if you can go play on one of the courts they've built.
