Hi Jack!

I just want to let you know I haven't forgotten about you and returning the demo paddles. We've had a lot of rain here in Michigan but have been able to get out to try the paddles a few times just the same. My daughter and I definitely will each be ordering paddles and my brother as well...

Thanks for the upgrade allowance.

The Chaos H Special Edition with Polymer Core and carbon fiber diamond weave surface has made a significant difference in my game.

Jack, received the paddle, used it last night, I like it, the design as well. Today the bag came! Best case I have seen, nice job on design, it will be an example of what a PB case should be.

I tried out my new chaos paddle yesterday and I love the feel of the ball as it rebounds off the paddle face, soft but powerful! I am a lefty and happy I ordered a TSD custom paddle.

Slow the Game Down by Playing Faster

s your level of play rises, the pace of the game slows down. Those 4.0 games that used to seem fast and intense will become a walk in the park with predictable shots you know how to counter as you level up.

You will notice the difference if you move from a high-level game back down to a lower level. If high-level games aren’t at your disposal, you can use the two-ball drill to simulate high-speed play.

Create Space with a Topspin Roll

The roll volley is a shot somewhat unique to pickleball in the world of racquet sports. Most players coming from tennis are accustomed to slicing a volley as they close in on the net. In pickleball, the roll volley is a great option to thwart your opponent's attempts to advance forward in the court.
