Description

In today’s episode of the Pickleball Connection Podcast, we hit three hot topics:

  • Rec-Play Drama: What do you do when someone shows up with a clearly out-of-spec or delaminated paddle? Where we draw the line (and a funny racquetball racket story).
  • Vintage Open Takeaways: Pros played with identical wooden paddles—who popped, who struggled, and what this says about modern styles vs. gear.
  • Malaysia Conditions: Heat, humidity, slow ball… and surprising results. How climate and ball choice can flip matchups—and which players benefit.

👇 Drop your take:

  • Would you call out an illegal paddle in rec?
  • Which player would improve most if everyone used the same paddle?
  • Are you better in crisp altitude air or Florida soup?
