For Players Who Can’t Count (Myself Included)

Are you constantly annoyed at social games where nobody consciously keeps track of the score?

Or do you occasionally suffer from bouts of brain fog like I do and suddenly realise nobody remembers whether the score is 6-4, 7-4, or perhaps an entirely different number?

If so, I may have found something useful.

Introducing the humble score counter.

It’s not revolutionary. It won’t improve your third-shot drop. It won’t add topspin to your drives. And unfortunately, it won’t stop your opponents from targeting your backhand.

What it will do is help keep track of the score.

That’s more valuable than it sounds.

Anyone who plays social pickleball regularly has probably experienced the familiar exchange:

“What’s the score?”

“I thought it was 8-6.”

“No, I think it’s 7-6.”

“Weren’t we receiving?”

At that point, the game turns into a group memory exercise rather than a sporting contest.

A simple score counter eliminates all of that.

Just click and play. It comes with a remote control. BEAT THAT.

No debates. No guessing. No accidental score inflation.

For players who organise social games, coach beginners, or simply struggle with counting while focusing on not popping up the ball, it’s a surprisingly useful little accessory.

Sometimes the best pickleball products aren’t the flashy ones.

Sometimes they’re the ones that solve a problem you didn’t realise was annoying you quite so much.

Interested in getting one? Head over here.

Your playing partners may thank you. This counter can also be used for other sports – padel, table tennis, badminton, you name it.

Disclaimer: I have not received any remuneration, sponsorship, free products, discounts, commissions, or other benefits in exchange for featuring it. I simply thought it was a useful little accessory worth sharing with fellow pickleball players—especially those of us whose scorekeeping abilities occasionally disappear somewhere between the serve and the third shot.
