I’ve never heard of pickleball (am I showing my age??) so I was intrigued by it. It told me everything there is to know and sounds interesting I must say. Not sure entirely if I’ll actually play it in real life 😂 but it’s an interesting book!

If there’s anything…. I mean it, ANYTHING on Pickleball, just grab this book! Everything is there whatever you need to know about the sport.
From it’s origin and the very basic facts about the sport to the fashion/outfit designs for the sport; from the tournaments to the pros at it this book is a gem!
Love the entire book. The presentation is perfect, the pages colourful with tasteful relevant illustrations.
Thank you, Quarto Publishing Group - Rock Point, for the advance reading copy.

My husband got me pickleball paddles for Christmas. We recently hit the courts and started playing. Our friends gave us a brief description of the game, but they are by no means professionals either. I am thankful for this book as it explains the game and all the things I need to know. I enjoyed the graphics throughout and the book was well laid out. This was good to read about the basics and I will continue to use as a resource on my journey to becoming a pro at pickleball.
Thanks to Netgalley and Rock Point for a digital ARC in exchange for my review.

I have heard so much abt pickle ball and have been dying to know more, it seems it’s the new trendy thing to do so of course I along with potential readers want to know more abt it. It is a great guide to what it is…the rules, tips, ect you would need to know to be successful at pickle ball.

I have played badminton, table-tennis and occasionally tennis for most of my life. But my journey in Pickleball is just starting. This book has given me the basics I need to get started. Presented in a light, but detailed way with enough diagrams to support the text. But I will be coming back time and again as this book has all the information I need to move from beginner to experienced amateur. I don’t think I will become a National champion, who knows. But if I were then that possibility is covered too if needed. Thank you to Rock Point and NetGalley for the ARC. The views expressed are all mine, freely given,
