Are Pickleball Paddles Getting TOO HOT? (APC 2026 Preview & Hot Takes)
Tennis
The ATP crew is back together in full force! 🏓
In Episode 7, the boys catch up on a chaotic month of pickleball, from Josh’s Friday Asia contract signing and hot-foam paddle testing to Gippsland Championship reality checks, Eastern Indoor league finals, and Blitzy’s PPA Gold Coast run! 🏆
Plus, we tackle the ultimate hot take: Are modern pickleball paddles getting too hot? We breakdown foam vs. honeycomb cores, paddle weighting, edge-guard lead tape, and raw dogging paddles.
Finally, we lock in our plans for the Australian Pickleball Championships (APC) 2026 on the Gold Coast, including our Live Trivia Quiz Night! 🌴☀️
