Description

Pickleball is coming to a court near you, and you won't be able to resist its many charms!

The perfect gift for the pickleballer in your life, this hilarious, fun and fact-filled shines a light on a highly addictive sport.

The game itself is a delightful offspring of tennis, ping pong, and badminton, and it can be as easy or as hard as you want. It's strategic, complete with its own entertaining jargon and rulebook, and if it's good enough for the Clooneys and Kardashians, what are you waiting for

In this book, you'll learn how to serve, slam, and shuffle your way to glory (while dodging flying paddles), and unlock the mysteries of the game. From the fundamental basics, to pro-pickling domination, it includes:

* A glossary of all the vital vernacular, from a 'dink' to a 'flabjack'.

* Expert tips on how to deal with tears and tantrums on court.

* The many faces of pickleball - which pickleball personality are you

* The dark arts of pickling - don't just play better, play meaner!

* Solutions for the post-match hangover.

* And so much more!

If you're ready to smash pickleballs and shatter your friends' expectations, grab this side-splitting guide and let the victories roll in.
