The Art of Pickleball--Techniques and Strategies for Everyone by Gale H. Leach is a comprehensive book about how to play Pickleball. The material includes the rules, how to execute and when best to use different types of shots, etiquette, grips, footwork, doubles and singles, some drills and the mental game and strategies. The author interviewed tournament players and presents different views on technique and strategy. I believe anyone who would like to improve their game would find this book helpful. One thing that made a lot of sense and really stood out to me that I came across in this book is that when playing outdoors, if one side of the court is at a disadvantage due to the sun or if playing on a very windy day, when you reach 6 points (halfway through a game) teams switch sides! Having played outdoors on very windy days myself, this seems to be a very fair rule, one I had not heard before.
