😅 Pickleball ping pong?
In a recent episode of Shark Tank, Denver entrepreneur Tom Filippini introduced "Pepper Pong," a portable game blending elements of ping-pong and pickleball.
The cool thing is, the games portable and designed to be played on any flat surface.
But what’s the overall aim of the game? Well, to make paddle sports more accessible and social.
Filippini, who developed the game during his recovery from alcoholism, has even sold over 10,000 sets since its launch during the pandemic!
Pepper Pong has already gained popularity among professional athletes and individuals of all ages, offering a fun and engaging way to connect with others.
Have we just discovered a Christmas present that’ll be on all our wish lists?
😲 Victim in shocking pickleball attack breaks silence
Peter Shonk, who was on the receiving end of a kick to the face that briefly knocked him unconscious, says that even though he “lost memory for three hours,” he has “no interest in pressing charges” against his attacker.

Pickleball di Tuscany
Imagine spending your mornings nailing that 3rd shot drop, your afternoons strolling Siena’s narrow, sun-soaked streets, and your evenings sipping wine overlooking Tuscany’s rolling hills. Pure bliss, right?
Well, that’s what "Pickleball di Tuscany" is all about—a mix of pickleball, culture, luxury, and not to mention pizza, pasta… and wine.
This may all sound a little familiar as we’ve mentioned Pickle Away’s other trips to the French Riviera before…
And, because these trip have become so successful (they’ve almost filled all the places for their trip next year), they’ve announced a new trip to Tuscany, no less!

This time, the 6-day Tuscany retreat (September 8-13, 2025) is set in Siena, with cozy stays at the Hotel Athena and coaching from top-notch instructors like Brett Noel.
Off the court, there’s plenty to enjoy: vineyard tours, rooftop aperitifs, and even an Italian cooking class with a local chef.
I’d say, it’s the ultimate opportunity to grab your paddle, soak up some Italian sun, and immerse yourself in the beauty, flavors, and rhythms of Tuscany. I’ve been, and it’s B-E-A-Utiful!
Sound like your kind of trip? If so, I’d get in on this quick! As with all their trips, they only have 12 spaces available and they’re already going quickly.
If the south of France is more your style, there’s a few more spots left for their May 2025 Riviera trip…
