Description
Book Synopsis: Pickleball instructor Jeff Ofstedahl is an award-winning journalist and native Arizonan. As a high school engineering teacher, university adjunct professor, and NASA Education Ambassador, he was drawn to the physics underlying the game of pickleball. In this book, Ofstedahl combines his love of science and the game into an easy-to-read examination of questions such as How fast is the ball really moving? Is there a better angle for winning serves? How much force does it take to …? What does spin actually do to the ball? How do I avoid low-probability shots? Is being at the kitchen mathematically advantageous? With experimentation using timers, force sensors, radar, a wind tunnel, and NASA computer simulators, Ofstedahl leads us down a road where science and sport come together - where the rubber meets the court, so to speak. Filled with more than 70 images and tables, this book is a "How To" guide on how a little knowledge behind the science and math involved can improve your pickleball game.
