It seems like everywhere you go now you’re either seeing people play pickleball or are hearing about a new pickleball league popping up. That’s because it’s actually the  fastest growing sport  in America right now!

I’m certainly not a pro pickeballer but have researched this over the past 1 year learning as much as I can, especially when it comes to the best equipment, like the must-have pickleball paddles.  They’re not all the same and certain makes and models can really make a difference in your game.

WHAT IS PICKLEBALL ALL ABOUT

So what actually is pickleball?  It dates back to 1965 when it was first invented.  How late to the game am I?! 

Pickleball is a paddle sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and table tennis. You play with a paddle and a plastic ball with holes, similar to a wiffle ball. Oh the nostalgia!

The game itself is typically played on a court that’s about one-third the size of a tennis court, with a net that is lower than a tennis net. You can play indoors or outdoors if you have the size of a badminton court and a slightly modified tennis net (don’t worry they sell specific pickleball nets).
