We’re making paddles right now in Pittsburgh, using
tennis racquet technology and offering paddles for
every type of player. Our paddles are available on our
website, gammasports.com, nationally in stores like
DICK’S Sporting Goods, at Pickleball Central, as well as
internationally. We have used our connections in Europe
and elsewhere to help grow the sport abroad.”
Ferrari became the president of GAMMA Sports in 2004,
after starting with the company out of college in the 1990s.
While his father was a “classic” tennis player, Ferrari is
more of a pickleball player.
“I’m more social, more gregarious, so I like the closer
quarters of the pickleball court,” he said. “It’s not as
oppositional as tennis. It’s a more communal sport, which
fits with my personality.”
In that vein, it’s not unusual to see GAMMA Sports
sponsoring a whole host of programs and events in
the pickleball world, from Rock N Roll Pickleball to the
Pittsburgh Pickleball Classic for Parkinson’s, US Open and
other national tournaments.  •
