Banned Paddles at Rec? Here’s How We’d Handle It
Update: 2025-10-09
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?
