I can’t take a game that uses a technique called “dink” seriously.

The biggest rule is you can't get close to the net. But of all the times I have actually played pickleball I can't find real consistency in how that's applied. It's like traveling in basketball sometimes you can take like 3 steps and sometimes it results in like 4 people screaming at me.

I don't understand the rules!!!

I mean are you playing on a real court? Because there is a clear line that you can't volley if you pass it.

But there are times when you can that I can't quite get a handle on. I think after the ball touches something. And you can step over the box at the corners apparently? I think?

You can enter the box just fine, you just need to let the ball bounce first if you are in the 'non volley zone'.

You can if the ball bounces in what called The Kitchen which is near the net

Yeah, like you can’t go in the kitchen until the ball has bounced.
