Putting this out there for anyone evaluating deals in sports/recreation.

We put together a market snapshot on the pickleball industry — the kind of quick-hit research you'd want before taking a first call with a seller or deciding whether to dig deeper.

What's in it:
• Market size & growth projections###-###-#### )
• Key players and recent transactions (including Selkirk's $30M raise at $200M valuation)
• Paddle technology trends and regulatory risks most people miss
• A contrarian take on where the real opportunity is (spoiler: probably not equipment)

8 pages, all sources linked, charts included.
