No one ever talks about the pickleball paddle thumb guide grip, which can really help with accuracy especially in ground shots and lobs, but also soft kitchen rallies. I've described the details at https://lnkd.in/gh3TjGn. (#pickleball, #pickleballPaddle)

In an eye-opening revelation, the world of pickleball stands at a fascinating crossroads. Despite a staggering 36.5 million players diving into the sport in 2023, there’s still a massive gap between those who play it recreationally and those who watch the pros. Why, with such immense grassroots participation, does pro pickleball struggle to captivate a wider audience? Key issues we've heard: 🔹 Viewer disinterest in prolonged dinking rallies 🔹 Underestimation of the sport's complexity 🔹 Fragmentation in streaming services 🔹 The absence of localized, community-based teams Here lies the real question... What can pickleball do better to help bridge the gap between the professional and recreational games? Here are some of your suggestions: 🔹 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 We're curious to hear your take: what do you think is the biggest impedance to growing pro pickleball viewership?
