Posted - 11/26/2017 : 2:50:48 PM Interesting and good to learn something new. Minten might be the thing to get my wife interested, she plays tennis. Pickle Ball that's a new one for me FP.
My previous comment was that the cartoon looked a bit old fashioned and I wonder if our image shouldn't be a little more contemporary. Great that it's a woman playing the game, we need to encourage more women to come to CO beaches and the like.

Posted - 11/26/2017 : 10:49:03 AM I've never played this game, exactly, but looks like an earlier version of "pickle ball" which is a game I've played for decades. It's become quite popular with nudists over the past few years, so much so that many nudist clubs and resorts have constructed "pickle ball courts" on the property and those that are no into tennis, play a game similar.
Pickle ball is played with a wiffle ball and wooden paddles, similar to ping pong paddles but much larger. This game seems to be played with a hollow wood box that one holds with their hand and strikes the ball back and forth over the court net.
What I love is the similarity that this image projects someone playing this game naked, just like pickle ball is played at the nudist resorts and clubs.

After posting this, I looked up Miniten and found this.
Miniten (a portmanteau word, derived from mini+tennis) is a tennis-like game created by naturists.[1] It was devised in the 1930s,[2] in order to provide a suitable game for naturist clubs which often lacked sufficient land to create full-sized tennis courts. Mr R. Douglas Ogden, a Manchester-based businessman with an interest in sporting activities drew up the original rules.[3] The rules and scoring are similar to tennis and standard tennis balls are used, but the court is much smaller, and instead of racquets, players use wooden bats known as thugs, which are shaped like a box around the player's hand.[4][5] The sport is run by the Amateur Miniten Association. Miniten: Rules of the Game was published in 2017 by Wolfbait Books. The book was illustrated by Colin Gordon.
Loves being naked. Plays well with others! |
