About FancyPickle

I'm Jim, and I'm still fairly new to pickleball myself. FancyPickle started because I was doing exactly what most people looking at this site are doing — trying to figure out which paddle, shoes, and gear are actually worth buying without wading through marketing copy or spending an afternoon on forums. The starter-gear, rules, and shoes guides here reflect that: practical picks based on real research, written for someone learning the game, not a sponsored-review mill.

FancyPickle is one of the web properties operated by JLA Group, LLC, a small technology company that also runs Diricom Web Services. Contact us with any questions.
