A pickleball strategy book for smarter decision-making

Pickleball35 was created to help aspiring players reach and exceed the 3.5 level by playing more strategically.

Pickleball is a game that rewards smart decisions as much as athletic ability. Many recreational players feel stuck, often losing to opponents they believe they should beat or struggling against fast, aggressive play.

This pickleball strategy book focuses on positioning, shot selection, rally development, and decision-making during real doubles play rather than detailed stroke mechanics.

If you're looking to win more points through better choices, smarter positioning, and a clearer understanding of how rallies develop, this book was written for you.

Inside the Book

  • 100+ strategy and mindset topics illustrated with court diagrams
  • Serve, return, third shot, transition zone, dinking, and mental game
  • Beginner primer and essential pickleball fundamentals
  • Clear explanations focused on positioning and decision-making
  • Practical guidance for players working toward 3.5+

A Reference You'll Return To

Unlike books meant to be read once and set aside, Pickleball Strategy – A Guide to 3.5 and Beyond is organized so each section can stand on its own.

Whether you're learning the fundamentals or refining advanced strategy, the book is designed to be revisited as your understanding of the game grows.

Revisit specific situations before and after you play, using the book as a practical reference whenever you need it.
