Think we should stop messing with the rules of the best game ever created and just enforce the current serve rule more strictly, and make paddles 10% less powerful. Let’s see how that goes before any radical changes like the experimenting that went on today at the site.

Just checked the draws and I’m slated to play Sock 3 times this weekend. But, my sock company (OS1st) is sponsoring the event. Does having sponsored socks give me a mental edge over Sock?

(Official Statement after my paddle was challenged in Bronze) I bagged Federico several times (he’s my favorite player to bag). He told the refs I was hitting too hard, and that it was scary. No hard feelings - Federico is a good kid. If I were him I would be scared of me too.

While Anna and I go to bed at roughly the same time, she wakes up 2-3 hours earlier. She thinks she’s “a more efficient human.” I try to explain to her that I’m just a higher-octane machine. After all, what takes longer to charge, a Tesla Semi-truck, or an iPod nano? Thoughts?

Exactly - this is why pickleball will soon become significantly more popular than tennis. Think about someone who hasn’t played either sport before- which one will they have more fun playing for the first time? Tennis is too hard. (And a less efficient form of real estate)

There’s discussion on whether or not pro pickleball should have 2 timeouts per game. I don’t think it’s necessary for doubles. But if I’m playing pro singles in the summer, against anyone other than grant bond, I tend to use both of my timeouts in the first half of games
