Product Description

A hilarious illustrated guide to the pickleball lifestyle, including the needlessly complex rules, the fashions, etiquette, gear, injuries, post-game snacks, and much more, for players of all ages, skill levels, and fitness ability.

The Pickleball Handbook is your ultimate guide to surviving and thriving in the world's fastest-growing obsession. Whether you're a pickleball newbie who got ambushed by an overly enthusiastic friend or a seasoned player who has more than one custom game shirt, this book is for you.

You'll learn:
  • The rules, which are both overly complicated and oddly arbitrary.
  • The essential (and often unnecessary) gear you need to fit in.
  • The many, many types of pickleball players, including the tournament junkie and the person who is mostly here for selfies and social hour (and all the ways these players will humble you along your pickleball journey).
  • The secret language of pickleball, from "dink" to "Nasty Nelson."
  • How to know when you've crossed over from casual player to full-blown addict (Hint: if you own a custom paddle, it's too late).

If you want to understand the glorious absurdity of a sport that has somehow become the defining activity of a generation, then grab your paddle and let's get started. (Maybe also grab a knee brace or two, just to be safe.) Packed with full-color illustrations and helpful infographics, this humorous handbook is a perfect gift for all the picklers in your life.
