  1. Pickleball elbow
  2. Wrist or hip fractures
  3. Rotator cuff injury
  4. MCL strain or sprain
  5. Achilles tendon injury

As the old saying goes, half an ounce of prevention is worth an ounce of cure. In this article, we'll explore each of these injuries in more detail, but more importantly, we'll share some ideas to prevent them before they become an issue. Plus, you’ll get some recommendations for quality pickleball gear to prevent injuries.
