Like it or not, 🎾 bangers teach us valuable lessons in the importance of touch and the ability to reset a ball – critical elements of pickleball, played at any level.
If you’re a lower-level player, at some point you’re going to Google, “how to defeat a banger,” only to realize you’ve been:
🔄 Flicking your wrist while dinking
🎾 Holding your paddle vertically instead of horizontally while trying to slow the ball down
🏓 Swinging at instead of punching those volleys in front of you at the kitchen line.

According to The Dink, the ATX Pickleballers and Milwaukee Mashers – two #MLP Challenger Level teams – have decided not to operate this year and were bought out by the newly-formed UPA (United Pickleball Association). 🏓
The UPA will attempt to resell the teams for the 2025 season, meaning that 2024 will only have 10 Challenger Level teams, but will hopefully be back to 12 (for a combined 24 MLP teams) in 2025. It's estimated these teams will sell for $15-$20 million. 💰

Is This New Anna Leigh Waters Serve Legal? 🎾🤔
No fault was called for any of her running serve attempts. She even said that she asked the refs ahead of time if it was legal. They said it was, so she performed the serve several times throughout her singles matches.
Until then, what do you think? Was it legal? Should it be? 🤷♂️🤷♀️

What is the biggest impedance to growing pro pickleball viewership?
🔹Travis Rettenmaier believes a pickleball equivalent to the shot clock where the point is ended within 20-30 seconds would avoid extended dinking rallies.
🔹More of a focus on nighttime streaming of pro matches would accommodate more peoples' schedules.
🔹Keeping a centralized location for all major matches – just one viewing platform – would make it easier for the uninitiated to tune in.

JW Marriott Resort seems like a small venue for the PPA Tour at the Desert Ridge Open ⬇️
25 courts were available for over 1,000 competitors. To warm up, pros were jumping on amateur courts, amateurs were jumping on pro courts, and everything in between. 🔄
Also, there were many areas where fans stood three or four deep into the sidewalk with nowhere to walk through. 🚶♂️🚶♀️
While the venue is very nice, some serious changes will need to be made for the JW Marriott to continue hosting PPA events in 2025 and moving forward. 🏨✨

“Rain all day moved play inside and may have played a part in the biggest upset of the weekend. Ben Johns has been vocal about preferring to play outdoors. His 108 match win streak ended in a similar scenario when rain moved play indoors at the Tournament of Champions in 2021”, reported The Dink Pickleball.
