@Pickleball @pickleballpod @ZaneNavratil @pikklusa You’re probably right that slower paddles is best for professionals, but at this stage, I doubt it would happen because a big percentage of the pickleball economy is paddle sales. And pros sell paddles.

Did baseball get it right? ⚾️ Should pros be using softer/slower paddles than amateurs? Nerd out on paddle technology on an all-new @pickleballpod dropping at 11am ET 🎙️ 👉youtu.be/5CUg_zoTIng @ZaneNavratil @pikklusa

@BarbellFi How much is the childcare? They could cut that from the budget. But then again, full time childcare may make him realize work isn’t all that bad lol

My buddy just inherited $2 million 🤑 He now has $3 million liquid & $500k home equity Their income is $360k & spend $12k/month Which includes childcare & mortgage They’re 38 with 4 year old twins & a new born He now lost motivation to keep working What would you do here?

@Military_Dollar 1. Monthly 2. Male 3. No

Okay I understand I may be too late to this question but now *I* need to know. 3-part question, answer all three please! 1. How often do you think about the Roman Empire? 2. What gender are you? 3. Do you know why I’m asking? (just answer yes or no)

@Drofcredit Dangit. Citi Divided and Chase Freedom both have gas for 3Q. Like it when they do not coincide.

@PathwayToFI @FilledWithMoney What’s the max including catch up contributions for those 55 and up?

@FilledWithMoney It’s the best deal out there!

BREAKING IRS increases HSA contribution limit to $4,150 for 2024. This is big.

@StIroningShirts @retirein1500 @RootofGoodBlog Plus they had no AC!!

@retirein1500 @RootofGoodBlog ^ This. I remember reading about the HL Hunt. The richest man in the world 100 years ago = a 10,000sqft house. Meanwhile upper middle class homes have 5,000sqft today. Also a brutal amount of medical issues and made it until 85 in the 1970s. priceypads.com/1929-mount-ver…

We have an insanely high standard of living in America and basically everyone just walks around like it's normal and no big deal. And they get sad and disheartened about the most trifling things even though they live better than most royalty from 100-200 years ago.

@MoneyJrod @Smartnetworth1 My thoughts, too. I suspect many of these millionaire teachers are married to spouses with good careers.

@Smartnetworth1 My wife is a teacher. She talks about the single mother teachers and how they struggle. Especially with the 1 paycheck per month set up

Teachers are #3 on the careers to become millionaires list. It’s hard for me to believe since almost all my coworkers drive brand new cars and always complain about our salaries. Maybe I’m wrong.

@Mrs1500 @chutneylife Market opportunity: hair insurance. Get companies to start offering it to employees. Then Congress can implement the Affordable Hair Act (AHA).

@chutneylife I think this is a good thing. If you're spending a lot on dental care, maybe you messed up a while back?

Most women spend more on their haircare than dental care.

@OfficialAPPTour What’s with having to login to see the results? I just want to see the scores - not register for a tournament?

Take a look at the Senior Pro results from the 2023 Daytona Beach Open! Congratulations to all the winners! More → bit.ly/3YRAAXf #APPFamily #APP #Pickleball #SeniorPros #PickleballIsLife

@FrankADavis I would love to see the advice you gave him, if you’ve got it handy. More singles focused here but also play doubles. Thanks!

Recently a 4.5 player asked me what it would take to become a senior pro when they turned 50. I gave a few paragraphs of advice to consider based on drills/fitness/mindset etc. They replied "Thats great but what I really want to know is how do I get the attention of sponsors?" 🤦‍♂️

@mlwatson20 @DinkPickleball @CityofAnnapolis @DTAnnapolis @AnnapolisArts Awesome! But watch out for the bad bounces!

My wife just texted me this pic. Open streets for pickleball in downtown @CityofAnnapolis! Love this and love my city!

@MonkeyFreeMe @wfaaweather Reminds me: you know you’re a country boy if you know to lay the hose in the sun if you’re going to need hot water somewhere that doesn’t have hot water!

@wfaaweather You know the heats not so bad if your soaking wet, in the shade, with a 20 mph wind. Keep the wind coming and I'll keep my water hose in the shade.

Astronomical summer is just 6 days away. #wfaaweather

@DinkPickleball Beautiful, but I see a lot of balls going into the water at those courts!

Home #pickleball courts are all the rage The new real estate staple, or so they say (we don’t disagree)

@markallanbovair I guess after we forgive student loans, we can move on to providing mortgage relief. Because it’s just not fair.

There will be two economic classes. Those with a fixed 3% mortgage, and those without.

@StIroningShirts Sounds like it’s best not knowing.

What’s Slack? Serious question

@DinkPickleball I would be curious to know which paddle most of the CRBN pros are transitioning to during this interim. One of the Electrum models?

Update from USA Pickleball on what happened with the CRBN paddles. Who thinks USAP actually has a “lab”? 😂

@PPAtour No

Should we do a clay tourney?? 🤔

@CP_Pickleball @PPAtour Good luck! Keep an eye out for my buddy Hailee Haymore. She’s playing her first pro tournament tomorrow. Also, she’ll make someone a great doubles and mixed partner!

Pumped to be playing singles again at PPA Austin Open tomorrow! 💪🏻 @PPAtour

@FrankADavis @ZaneNavratil It looks like the rankings incorporate both PPA and APP tournaments. Are other tournaments included? How do they come up with a weight for each tournament? I know that the PPA (and I think the APP) assign weights for their own rankings. BTW - congrats on your #8 ranking!

I love JW, but everyone celebrating him as #1 singles player is premature. Solely based on a skill assessment, not a ranking. We should be celebrating @ZaneNavratil as he just became world #1 in Pro Singles for the first time (tied with Tyson McGuffin.
