The New York Times - Dink and lob all day long

Pickleball is everywhere. There’s a lot to like: The game is easy for beginners to learn, and most competitors can up their skill level in no time.

Amidst the rising interest, about 600 (!) companies have newly entered the market, many claiming to offer pickleball paddles with unique, cutting-edge technology that will supposedly have you dinking and lobbing like a pro.

Happy summer solstice.
