I'm a beginning player of Pickleball and this book is a great reference for rules, as well as equipment and detailed information on game strategy and shot positioning.

It was a fun easy book to read. I liked the illustrations of the various ways to volley, and the strategy guides in the back are great for conversations with your partner. It's a book I will keep handy and refer to often if only for the encouraging words that pickleball is a mental game.....you need to relax and have FUN!
