Simply Pickleball is a pickleball media brand based in San Francisco, built around a podcast, blog, and newsletter rather than a storefront or courts. The podcast interviews paddle company founders, industry leaders, and pro players, and the site publishes gear reviews, tips, and news, along with negotiated discount codes for a range of paddle and apparel brands. The newsletter rounds up deals, gear announcements, and places to play. For players, it’s a research stop before buying gear or booking a pickleball trip, not a place to visit. At the time of review the main website showed a maintenance notice, while the newsletter, podcast feeds, and social channels remained active.
