A glimpse at pickleball gear sales

The U.S. Open at Naples provided a glimpse into the burgeoning sales of pickleball gear.  Some eye-opening comments are included in this article out  of Naples.

Carole Patterson, a volunteer with the U.S. Open and Naples local, speaks with Ken McEvoy, a sales representative for Paddletek, while perusing for a new pickleball paddle at East Naples Community Park Thursday, April 27, 2017. "It has tremendous addictive qualities," said McEvoy. "I've never seen a sport where people start it and play it almost daily."
