A decent instruction book for guys like me who are looking for a competitive sport blending tennis with ping-pong without stressing the old body too much. At 82, I found it informative and usable as a training tool. In 100 pages, the author covers every aspect of the game from its history to equipment, rules, etiquette, safety, strategy, and benefits, both physical and social…basically everything you need to step on the pickleball court and play. If I have a criticism, the book is filled with redundant paragraphs that seem to carry from one chapter to another, diluting the book’s value as a reference tool. In my opinion, the book would be more effective if these redundancies were eliminated and replaced with illustrations of courts, paddles, balls, rules, etc. to help clarify the written explanations.
