PPA Vietnam🤯🇻🇳 & The Invention of the Right Side Alpha🤴

PPA Vietnam was one for the record books, literally and figuratively! I give a short recap of the action and discuss one of the macro topics I mentioned in my last edition - how the right side has become a LOT more important in the last few years!

Everything Keeps CHANGING! Pickleball's Progression

As a newer sport, the game of pickleball is far from solved. In this edition I break down some of the changes I have seen in my limited time in the sport at both a micro and macro level. I also ponder a significant question... has the GOAT held us back?

Pickleball, Then & Now... & Back to THEN (!!️🪵🏓)

A one week break in tournaments?! Say it ain't so!!! Thankfully the PPA Tour is BACK this week with two events - an international tournament in Malaysia and the inaugural Sacramento Vintage Open which will feature wood-only paddles for professionals!

Length is Overrated! At least in pickleball😜

The outreach from my last edition was amazing, and so many of you wanted more insight on why the "standard" paddle shape is better for the majority of players (in my view!), so here we go! All my thoughts, here.

Exponential Growth, Juniors, & an Ode to Indoor Pickleball

While it's been anything but a break for me since PPA Vegas, it has most definitely been a change of pace. I've been in Orlando and Colorado with my AMAZING sponsors JOOLA and The Picklr connecting with you guys, coaching, and remaining amazed by the growth of our sport. And by just how good these dang kids are! We're all in trouble.
