Who this book is for

You know exactly who this book is for. It's the friend who mentions their 'old tennis days' within five minutes of meeting anyone, the 68-year-old in a visor, knee brace and matching skort who plays three sessions a day, or the young banger in a JOOLA shirt who blames 'bad luck' every time the dinkers win. If they own more pickleball pun T-shirts than plain ones and have recruited their dentist to open play, they belong in these pages. Perhaps you live with someone who refreshes their DUPR rating between games and mourns a drop from 3.87 to 3.84 as if the markets had crashed. Maybe your partner sets an alarm for 6am to beat the crowds, drives 40 minutes for an open court, or comes home fuming about a paddle-rack queue-jumper. This book is the perfect way to tell them you love them while gently pointing out that they have completely lost the plot. It makes a brilliant gift for spouses, children, grandchildren, doubles partners and long-suffering colleagues who have heard far too much about third shot drops. Hand it over at a birthday, at Christmas, or after they've just been pickled 11-0 and need cheering up. And if you're the one shouting 'Stay out of the kitchen!' while studying Ben Johns clips in slow motion, this book is for you too. Every joke is written with affection for the players who can laugh at their own obsession, right up until someone finally explains 0-0-2 to the beginner on court three.

Questions about this book

Expect affectionate, good-natured ribbing about the habits every pickleball player recognises, from the player who says 'just one more game' at 9am and is still on court at 2pm, sunburnt and lunchless, to the friend who 'just started' and is now in a walking boot. There are one-liners, puns and short observational gags about dinks, being pickled 11-0, endless arguments over whether you're server one or two, and the eternal 'pock pock pock' noise war with the neighbours.
Absolutely. It makes a brilliant birthday, Christmas or retirement present for anyone who has swapped their weekends for the court, and it's a perfect thank-you for a club organiser or a cheeky prize for whoever signs the wall of shame. It's equally good for long-suffering spouses who have accepted that their other half now lives at the courts.
Not at all. Most of the humour is about the people rather than the rules, so anyone who has watched a friend become obsessed, or heard a tennis player grumble about pickleball lines on their courts, will be laughing along. Seasoned players will spot extra insider nods to third shot drops, Ernes, ATPs and the baffling '0-0-2' score call that confuses every beginner.
Rather than recycling generic sports gags, every joke here is written specifically for the pickleball community and draws on the shared experiences players actually talk about between games. From the endless shouts of 'stay out of the kitchen!' to the orthopaedic surgeons quietly funding their holidays with pickleball elbow cases, it reads like a conversation with your regular doubles group.
