Whois & Analysis for head.com

Pickleball is a racquet sport that combines elements of badminton, tennis, and table tennis.

Two, three, or four players use solid paddles made of wood or composite materials to hit a perforated polymer ball, similar to a wiffle ball, over a net.

The sport shares features of other racquet sports, the dimensions and layout of a badminton court, and a net and rules similar to tennis, with a few modifications.

Pickleball was invented in the mid 1960s as a children's backyard pastime but has become popular among adults as well.

A racket or racquet is a sports implement consisting of a handled frame with an open hoop across which a network of strings or catgut is stretched tightly.

It is used for striking a ball or shuttlecock in games such as squash, tennis, racquetball, and badminton.

Collectively, these games are known as racket sports.

This predecessor to the modern game of squash, rackets, is played with wooden rackets.

While squash equipment has evolved in the intervening century, rackets equipment has changed little.

Snowboards are boards that are usually the width of one's foot longways, with the ability to glide on snow.

Snowboards are differentiated from monoskis by the stance of the user.

In monoskiing, the user stands with feet inline with direction of travel (facing tip of monoski/downhill) (parallel to long axis of board), whereas in snowboarding, users stand with feet transverse (more or less) to the longitude of the board.

Users of such equipment may be referred to as snowboarders.

Commercial snowboards generally require extra equipment such as bindings and special boots which help secure both feet of a snowboarder, who generally rides in an upright position.

These types of boards are commonly used by people at ski hills or resorts for leisure, entertainment, and competitive purposes in the activity called snowboarding.

A ski is a narrow strip of semi-rigid material worn underfoot to glide over snow.

Substantially longer than wide and characteristically employed in pairs, skis are attached to ski boots with ski bindings, with either a free, lockable, or partially secured heel.

For climbing slopes, ski skins (originally made of seal fur, but now made of synthetic materials) can be attached at the base of the ski.

Sports equipment, called sporting goods where sold, is any object used for sport or exercise.
