Littlewood of the USA Pickleball Association presents this ground-up guide to the sport. The introduction begins by describing the court, equipment, rules, and etiquette. The body of the book discusses warmup, stretching, ball control, and stroke technique, followed by specific types of shots including serve, return, volley, dink, lob, overhead smash, and drop shot. The ending chapters discuss mental strategy and doubles vs. singles. Each chapter is organized with basic explanations of the material, elaborations and alternatives, instruction on initial practice, and drilling to improve the skill.
