BOOK: The Art of Pickleball
Published in 2005, but updated to the 4th edition in 2013 this is a great little book that covers every aspect of the game. While in-person lessons are the best way to improve your game, this is a useful resource for beginners and intermediate players. It’s an easy and fun read to learn about and improve pickleball skills.
PICKLEBALL BAG: Athletico Sling Bag
Sometimes you just need the right bag for the job… In this case you can fit up to 6 pickleball paddles in the bag along with balls and a water bottle. It’s one strap but it’s able to be worn on either side. My personal favorite is the red, but it also comes in pink, black and blue.
A funny take on the classic evolution of man chart that ends in the pickleballis humanus:
T-SHIRT: It’s Always Pickleball Season T-Shirt
Available in just about every size suitable for men, women and kids.
