The Legend of The Dink Meister

Nobody knows when he first appeared. Some say it was a foggy morning in the late ’70s at a forgotten rec center between nowhere and everywhere. Others swear they saw him just last Tuesday.

But, on a snowy morning, as the courts glittered with frost, the Dink Meister arrived in a sweater so magnificently ugly it made all the players want to join his foursome. Knitted by his own hands, in colors that shouldn’t work but somehow did, his presence became a strange, wonderful gift to pickleball players everywhere.

Words From Court Peeps

“From courtside to cookie swaps. I can go from Sunday open play straight to a cookie exchange without changing—one minute I’m smashing overheads, the next I’m smashing snickerdoodles. This sweater is my entire December personality: 40% festive, 40% drive dominator, 20% powdered sugar.

Hannah Boobalah, 3.5 mixed doubles

“Our club did a Holiday Drinks and Dinks night, and everyone wore these sweaters, including my mom, Helen, and her boyfriend, Sal. The pictures look like a mixed-Holiday card from a wildly over-caffeinated, pickleball-obsessed family. I’m framing one for the pro shop."

Stan Servley, aka Open Play Coach

“Best holiday league outfit yet. Our whole ladder team bought matching sweaters. We lost every match, forgot the score half the time, and one guy tried to serve with a large candy cane. Random people were taking team photos with us like we were some kind of 80s-esque pickleball boy band."

Davey Drips, 4.0001 league captain
