What is The Dink?

The Dink is pickleball's leading dedicated publication — a news site, the sport's most-read newsletter, and a stable of podcasts covering the professional tours, the participation boom and the industry around it.[1]

Why does it matter?

It is the closest thing the young sport has to a press of record — its reporting tracks the pro game, tour politics and player moves that general sports media only intermittently cover.[1] [2]
