Description

Welcome to Episode 39 of The Pickleball Connection podcast. In this episode, Barrett and Danea Bass recap the PPA Atlanta Pickleball Championships, including surprising wins (and losses). Federico Staksrud tweeted that singles pickleball has become mini-tennis, a comment that everyone seems to be talking about. Barrett and Danea discuss whether singles pickleball is more like doubles pickleball or tennis — and if former tennis players have an advantage in singles pickleball. They also talk about the evolution of pickleball, including the impact of paddle technology on gameplay and strategy, and the growing concern for eye protection as the game becomes faster and more powerful.
