@donniccolo @ThePitchenKB_ @PPAtour Satire. Look at the post account 🤦🏻‍♂️

@ThePitchenKB_ @PPAtour I feel like professional pickleball is doing everything in its power to not be taken seriously

Bring me back that cat and mouse singles! 🐱+🐭 ++ @PPAtour #ppa #pickleball #minitennis

The APP is wild. Going deep and raiding the cupboard. #IYKYK

Game over. APP got everyone now. @JimmyMiller_PB

The APP is signing up everyone including @NicoTheLefty Cool that they used an action shot!

@connorpardoe_pb @federicostak @JimmyMiller_PB APP declares war!

@federicostak @JimmyMiller_PB Let me know your schedule. @federicostak The event at the FORT works for me.

Breaking news! Multi-year deal!

@JimmyMiller_PB @connorpardoe_pb 🔒 got him 🔒

@OfficialAPPTour @sofia_sewing Both tours claim to have signed her. Odd Sofia hasn’t “liked” or “shared” this post.

Staying put 🔒 APP standout Sofia Sewing commits to the #APPTour with a multi-year agreement! @sofia_sewing 🤝 @officialapptour

@pickleball_jim @DallasFlashPB @MajorLeaguePB

I always point out that there can be behind the scenes agreements, etc, that those outside the teams are unaware of that could affect the analysts. I also always say to expect the unexpected. If Dallas comes up with some unexpected great move tomorrrow, i will be the first to acknowledge it and tip my hat. on the other hand, if Dallas either bids big and gets Jorja/AB or ends up with a weaker team, I will also say told you so. Dallas made an unforgivable error last year in picking COL so a second bad error is hardly inconceivable

Mark Molthan had to take it to the street to try to come up with some extra $$$ to afford Jorja!💰💰💰 The 2026 @majorleaguepb draft is TOMORROW at 9:00 AM CST! Can’t wait to bring another amazing team to you, Flash Mob! LET’S GO! #dallas #flash #pickleball #mlp #money

@tylerloong More infrastructure means more opportunity to onboard new players. But programming and coaching are essential for success. “Build it and they will come” is not a sound strategy.

Just got off the phone with the owner of a new indoor facility… 24 PICKLEBALL COURTS. 95,000 sq ft. 🤯 The pickleball boom isn’t slowing down. 📈

The international growth is driving this. <1M viewership doesn’t make the sport a $1B business. But if you look at the fundamentals, tracking to be most participatory sport, pro leagues, with gambling and Broadcast still untapped. Feels like 1$B is just the start.

@NmlPickleball @Johnny5pointOH There simply aren’t enough events for APP players to make a living.

@Johnny5pointOH For sure. They are hoping to take advantage of the APP players who don’t have deals in place with APP

We had heard the PPA wanted a few more APP women after Sewing was signed. We’ll have to see what happens between now and the MLP draft date

@connorpardoe_pb Did Don Stanley do this? IYKYK

Thoughts?

@Mrcryptoxwhale Done

@AndreiDaescuPkl You are only as good as you think -

They can because they think they can. - Virgil

@NicoTheLefty Rawdog that shit! Channel your inner Anna Bright.

At what age do you become too old for Red Eye flights. And why do I feel like that age was 10 years ago

Tardio, Waters, and Johnson are all 19. Goins is 17. In contrast, 48 year old lawyer Matt Wright will be competing against Tardio for the Men’s title. Pickleball is wild.

We could have teenager champions in 4/5 of the finals today at @PPAtour in Bristol, TN. This is not your grandparent’s pickleball. #YouthMovement

@NicoTheLefty As we wrote in our breakdown, Zane will be back in the lineup soon.

We sure Noe is an upgrade?

@JimmyMiller_PB Find someone who looks at you the way Collin looks at his lumen meter.

Hey Collin, Challenger matches are all on Grandstand. You are checking the lumens on the wrong court.
