On May 9th, the #APP Tour 🎾 released a statement on its social media channels supporting USA Pickleball (USAP) 🇺🇸.
It seemingly came out of nowhere, but the word on the street is that another statement is coming soon from another high-profile pickleball organization. So, this may have been a preemptive move by the APP. #Pickleball #News

🚀🏓Always easier to pass when using your opponent's momentum against them! Works well in singles and there is still a place for it in dubs! Try it next time you hit the courts! #Pickleball #Highlights

The Dink host Thomas Shields weighed in on Ben Johns' salary, saying that "for a pickleball pro, that’s insane. It doesn’t include endorsements, etc. Unclear whether prize money is factored in". 🤑
"The tour wars birthed inflated salary commitments from the ppa and mlp. These will normalize in the coming years. For now, it’s great marketing for a sport that seeks to attract new and better talent", he added in X. 🎾

In recent years, there have always been some really good teams and some REALLY bad teams in #MLP . Just this last year, two examples were the Season 1 Frisco Pandas 🐼 and the Season 2 Atlanta Bouncers 🏀. These issues, by and large, have been rectified in 2024. GMs and owners are paying way more attention to players and their skill sets. Five teams won 50 percent of their games or more on the weekend. The other five teams either went 1-2 or 1-3, depending on their schedule. The gap is now razor thin in the Premier Level.

Step onto any pickleball court today, and it will look and sound much different than it did just a few years ago. Soft dinks have been virtually eliminated by powerful drives, and the gentle thuds produced by pickleball paddles have been replaced with roaring explosions. Are Pickleball Paddles Too Powerful? Or it's just me? 🏓💥🤔 #Paddle #Pickleball #News

Ben Johns, the top-ranked men's doubles and mixed doubles player in the world. He recently told CNBC that he's scheduled to make $2.5 million in 2024, which does not include endorsement deals. 💰
For perspective, Johns told CNBC back in 2021 that he brought in about $250,000 through pickleball and just $50,000 in 2018, before the pandemic provided rocket-fuel for the sport's growth. 🚀 #Pro #Pickleball #News

The Virginia Distillery Company cleared out enough space in their barrel room to put down some lines and hoist a net. Instead of net posts, the company used what they had on hand. You guessed it, barrels. 🥒🏓

In tennis, you’re taught to keep your feet moving. In #Pickleball , that’s not the case. Because pickleball courts are smaller and you have to react quicker, focusing on efficiency in our movements is often better. That means moving our feet less by leaving one foot "anchored" into the ground. ⚓️
That's an anchor foot. It’s a foot that stays in one spot and doesn’t move. The rest of your body pivots around this foot. When you have the ball, and you’re considering where to go with it, you can anchor one foot and pivot the rest of your body to give yourself space and better looks. 🎾 #Tips

One of the reasons for pickleball’s popularity is its accessibility for people of all ages and athletic backgrounds. 🏓 But another aspect of this accessibility reaches players coming back from injury. 🤕 So, the question here is: Do people see pickleball only as an injury recovery sport? 🤔 Or is this just one of its many advantages? 🌟 #Pickleball

The 4th shot is vital for the defensive side (the side that does not serve the ball) because it often determines whether the serving team will make it up to the kitchen line.
Because of the double-bounce rule, the returning team starts with this advantage, and hitting a solid 4th shot will help you maintain that advantage throughout the point. 🏓💥👟

During a recent interview on the PicklePod podcast, #PPA pro Lea Jansen compared playing singles to a romantic relationship off the court: “Singles is like that ex-boyfriend that you really loved, but who wasn't good for you." 💔🎾 Do you agree? 🤔
