šŸ¤¾ā€ā™€ļø A pickleball cheat code!

Excited to welcome back Tanner Tomassi of Tanner Pickleball for this week’s Level Up.

Hey Pickleheads readers,

Have you ever heard of the Triangle Effect in pickleball? Not many have…

The triangle effect is a thought process that lets you predict the future! It’s literally a cheat code!

The first part: imagine you and your partner are both at the kitchen line and you speed up down the line. Your opponent’s return will always be back down the line.

So when you speed up here, be prepared to return the ball with your backhand.

The second part: imagine you and your partner are both at the kitchen line and you speed up a wide shot across your body. Your opponent’s return will always come back towards the middle of the court.

So when you speed up here, be prepared to return the ball with your forehand.

So, what’s the takeaway? The Triangle Effect helps you read the play before it happens.

Understanding these patterns helps you anticipate the ball’s movement and stay one step ahead—ready to counter, reset, or attack.

Try it out next time you’re on the court, and you’ll start feeling like a mind reader.

AI phase 2 could potentially unlock a 70X growth opportunity

Motley Fool image

500,000 new millionaires — made in just one year, all thanks to AI… Were you one of them? If not, the next question is: Will you be ready when Phase 2 of the AI gold rush begins?

  • One billion-dollar fund manager calculates that Phase 2 AI stocks could offer as much as 10x MORE upside potential than Phase 1 stocks like Nvidia.

New data reveals that the majority of U.S. companies are getting ready to flip the Phase 2 "on" switch, which would begin rapidly unlocking a multi-trillion dollar opportunity.

The Motley Fool created a report of 5 stocks we think will greatly benefit from Phase 2. The largest stock in this report is 18X smaller than Microsoft, while the smallest stock is 178X smaller than Nvidia right now… That’s a lot of opportunity for growth.
