What I’m Working On Right Now

I’ve come to a realization recently in my pickleball journey that’s beneficial for me to share.

The game is getting faster. 💨

I’m sure you’ve heard that a million times… but what does this actually mean?

It means that people are hitting the ball harder, from all areas of the court, and a lot more often.

This means that if you’re not using a paddle that hits hard, you will fall behind. I’ve always prioritized control in my game; however, it’s like bringing a knife 🔪 to a gunfight 🔫.

If somebody can blast the ball through you, it doesn’t matter how good you are; you won’t be able to keep up!

I’ve recently just started using the CRBN soon-to-release ‘TruFoam’ paddle.

Let’s just say… this thing IS it. 🏆

I’m excited to see where I can take my game with a new power paddle!

And for anyone interested, I’ll provide a code when it becomes available!

Till next week! ✌️
