Million-dollar courts with no dividers?! We traveled for some top-tier pickleball only to spend half the time chasing rogue balls. What gives?!

We’re diving into court design fails, why some facilities just don’t get it, and whether baby gates might be the real MVP. Plus, we catch up with John Solema from Pickleball Space Arizona to talk indoor courts, pickleball culture, and dodging coyotes on the court.

And in Dink or Destroy, we’re debating hand signals—game-changer or overcomplicated nonsense?

Tune in, weigh in, and keep the dink soft and the energy BIG!
