Let's say you are at your local recreation center playing pickleball, and your ball strikes the wall or ceiling or net post after you struck the ball, yet lands in the opponents court. What does the rules say? According to IFP rules section 7.G. it states, If the ball in play hits a permanent object before it bounces on the court, it is a fault. (revised April 1, 2011) So If I fire a lob skyward and it hits the rafters, or in some centers a light, it is a fault. Ball is dead! Even if I hit the net post slightly, it is still a fault. But if I was to hit a ball, it landed cleanly on my opponents side, then hits a wall, ceiling etc. I win the rally.
