by Alumigogo Books
non-fiction
The complete reference for understanding, specifying, sourcing, and maintaining pickleball equipment and courts—for professionals and serious players.
About this book
Pickleball is one of the fastest-growing sports in North America, but the market is fragmented and often confusing. Equipment specs vary widely, court installation standards are inconsistent, and there's limited guidance on maintenance, troubleshooting, or business opportunities in the space.
This handbook provides the knowledge that facility managers, equipment buyers, tournament organizers, and serious players actually need: concrete specifications and grading standards; how to choose the right equipment for your situation; step-by-step installation and setup; maintenance schedules and common problems; a map of the supplier landscape and real business opportunities; and expert resources for staying current as the category evolves.
Each chapter is grounded in practical examples, real-world constraints, and concrete decision-making criteria—not marketing language or abstract concepts.
Reader Reviews
Andrew Jackson
★★★★★This handbook delivers genuine technical depth on court specs and equipment standards that you won't find in manufacturer brochures or online forums. The chapters on surface types and specifications are particularly valuable. My only gripe is that the business opportunities chapter felt a bit thin—I wanted more depth on the economics of starting a court rental operation or consulting practice, not just a surface survey of the models. Still, it's the most useful reference I've found for serious buyers and facility managers.
