Chase Dillard
Editor of The Pickle Path. Writes our beginner guides, shot tutorials, and gear buying guides.
Chase started The Pickle Path to answer the questions he had as a new player, in the plain, practical way he wished someone had explained them to him. He focuses on the fundamentals that help beginners improve fastest: understanding the rules, staying out of the kitchen at the wrong time, and building a reliable soft game.
On the gear side, Chase studies specifications, compares what players report after real use, and explains the trade offs between paddles, shoes, and accessories so readers can make a confident choice without overspending.

Editorial approach
Every guide is written to be accurate, easy to follow, and honest about trade offs. Product recommendations are never paid for, and guides are updated when rules or products change. Read more about how we work on our About page.
