Starting pickleball? Buy these 7 things in this order

Pickleball gear can get expensive fast, so in this video I’m breaking down the first 7 things I would buy for pickleball if I was starting over — in the order I’d buy them. This is not about buying the fanciest gear or spending the most money. This is about setting yourself up with the gear that actually matters first: paddle setup, balls, shoes, socks, hydration, a second paddle, and a bag.

Start with the gear that affects your play, comfort, and consistency first. After that, buy based on the problems you actually have — not just the hype you keep seeing online.
