This is really a good book for anyone who wants to start playing pickleball. I attended a free clinic at our tennis club, and I can see why pickleball is such a great game. Then someone gave me a link to the PDF of Bob’s book, and I found it very useful. The information about lessons vs. clinics, how to find an instructor, and the chapters on paddles was particularly helpful. I haven’t even started learning about the shots, but I looked at a few videos referenced in the book, and I can see how you can learn from them.
