andrew van damdid the bubble burst? or is this a seasonal pattern that just didn't emerge in prior years?

Josh CarlsonHoping for the former, guessing it's the latter. We're still seeing pickleball courts being incorporated into new / rehabbed parks near us.

This seems like a big dill
Blue Marble@andrewvandam I doubt this statistic from my own observations. I am in 3 groups in 2 states and the have all grown exponentially even this year.

Some possibilities.
1) the bubble burst
2) penetration has reached a level that paddles are easily obtainable (Target, Dick’s, Amazon)
3) market saturation , i.e. the necessary information about paddles is available elsewhere
4) Google has a problem
No idea what the truth is, but a quick rise & fall is not unusual for any “entertainment” . It doesn’t mean collapse is inevitable, but sometimes it does. Come back in 2 years.
Mike J👹🐀 🤘🏻@andrewvandam Or does everyone who is interested in pickleball already own a paddle, and if you can't sell people something the whole concept might as well be dead.
