Atlanta Pickleball

A new players association has formed within pro pickleball. Founding members include Tina Pisnik (president), Dekel Bar, Jessie Irvine, Augie Ge, Collin Johns, Jay Devilliers and Gabe Tardio. “This is about players working together to advance our sport and raise it to the next level — for athletes, fans, and the game itself," said Pisnik.

@Pickleball @pikklusa is my current paddle

What paddle are you using right now?

Drop your go to pickleball songs below 👇👇

Now that’s it’s July and the city only created 6 of 16 dedicated courts, can we call it what it is? A failure.

@LArehkopf Atlanta metro yes. But for city residents, that’s a 45-60 minute drive in the evening.

Huge for pickleball in metro Atlanta! pickleball.com/news/life-time…

@TheKitchenPB #3 and #4 can definitely be called out. It’s rare that you are right above the ball. Especially the partner who often has a better look because the are only focused on where the ball lands.

Perspective is everything. 👀

@MaggieMaeRem I wonder if he was a PPA signed player if the penalty would’ve been the same.

How do you hold someone to a standard that hasn’t existed or been enforced before? 🧐 While I agree a standard and rules should be set, I believe this is a bit extreme. 🤔

@LArehkopf @TysonMcGuffin @MajorLeaguePB @BenJohns_pb Not being able to see Jesse and Ben team up was a factor for us opting to go out of town instead of attending. We are big fans of Jesse.

@ATLpickleball @TysonMcGuffin @MajorLeaguePB @BenJohns_pb Can’t say I understand that one. People still go to Lakers games when LeBron isn’t playing. You have one chance to see MLP in your town and you skip it because one person isn’t there?

Why do you think ATL @MajorLeaguePB attendance was significantly lower then last years? #pickleball

@LArehkopf @TysonMcGuffin @MajorLeaguePB All excellent points. Not having @BenJohns_pb didn’t help.

@TysonMcGuffin @MajorLeaguePB -Less than one month to market it -Everyone already spent money to play in PPA and couldn’t attend both. This format has cannibalized ticket sales. -Mother’s Day weekend -College graduation weekend -Budget cuts in marketing and social

Hey Siri, what’s the most popular racket sport? 🤔

@Pickleball Any team against Wright.

Johnson/Frazier vs Wright/Staksrud: who ya got??

@QueenPickle13 @pikklusa I’d recommend one. Not big power(thinking adding weight will help there) but great touch. We like the 14’s better.

@ATLpickleball @pikklusa Omg should I get one?!

Played with ⁦@pikklusa⁩ paddles today at ITA Atlanta. Drops were 🔥

@DoughBoyNico @PPAtour @PBTV365 Courts were wet.

Gonna need to start billing the @PPAtour for my time soon. They say the broadcast Starts at 9am ET then at 9:30 have an IG post that says 10 ET with no reasoning at all. I can’t just be sitting waiting on @PBTV365 at all times… even though I am

@District4ATL @DougShipmanATL @atlcouncil @andreforatlanta @AmirForATL Yes we know about the 6 public dedicated pickleball courts in a city of almost 500,000 people.

@ATLpickleball @DougShipmanATL @atlcouncil @andreforatlanta @AmirForATL The more you know 👇🏽

C’mon Atlanta, we are way behind in building public dedicated pickleball courts. Affluent Macon has over 50 dedicated courts. ⁦@DougShipmanATL⁩ ⁦@District4ATL⁩ ⁦@atlcouncil⁩ ⁦@andreforatlanta⁩ ⁦@AmirForATL⁩ medicalxpress.com/news/2024-05-q…

Which side of the PICKLEBALL CIVIL WAR are YOU on?? 🫣😆🪖🇺🇸🦅

@mwgarbett @ThreadATL @NuWayWeiners Macon is better than Atlanta because they have over 50 public dedicated pickleball courts vs the 6 for Atlanta.

One of @ThreadATL's first group trips was to Macon. Sadly marred by the fire at @NuWayWeiners that morning but really great experience. Glad to see them getting recognition. If only we could replicate that in Atlanta. gpb.org/news/2024/05/1…

@suggswriter Same could be said of 2003 Pistons passing Anthony and Wade.

Nets draft Kobe Bryant with the 8th pick in ‘96 and the entire franchise is changed forever. 😞 #nbadraft
