| contents | This paper considers the flight dynamics of the ball in the sport of pickleball. Various simplifications are introduced according to the features of the game. These simplifications and some approximations enable straightforward coding to study aspects of the game such as the trajectory of the ball and its velocity. In turn, strategic questions may be addressed that have not been previously considered. In particular, our primary research question involves the preference between playing with the wind versus against the wind. It is demonstrated that playing against the wind is often preferable than playing with the wind. |
