The best deal in pickleball just got even betterā¦
Last week I told you about the best deal in all of pickleballā¦
Itās the Friday Original Paddle.
Well their deal just got even better for Memorial Day.
Now you can get 2 Friday original paddles and a free paddle cover for $99.
You can get one for a friend, or if youāre like meā¦ get 2 for yourself š
They have 8 cool designs you can mix and match on the deal.
The more I play with this paddle, the more Iām amazed how close to a $200+ paddle it plays.
You can finish points, hit big spin and even land those tedious drop shots youāve been working on.
The Friday has all the top paddle tech ā raw carbon fiber, thermoforming, high surface grit.
On paper, it looks just like a JOOLA paddle. And it really plays like one.
Try one out and youāll see what I mean. You seriously donāt need to spend hundreds of dollars to get a great paddle anymore!
I like the colorful design too. More people at my courts are noticing this paddle and asking me about it. The secretās getting out!
If you want a fun new paddle to try over Memorial Day and enjoy the nice weather, check out this deal š
Deal auto-applied in the link above. Make sure to add 2 paddles to your cart to claim the deal!

š¤¾ Take your dinks out of the air
James Ignatowich, top-5 ranked pickleball player in the world is back once again for this weekās Level Up.
One of the biggest mistakes I see players make is not taking their dinks out of the air.
Taking your dinks out of the air allows you to be aggressive, take time away from your opponent, or set yourself up for a better dink/strong putaway shot!
To do thisā¦
First, make sure to keep your paddle out in front of you. Try to reach and take as many dinks out of the air as you can.
A good rule of thumb: if the ball bounced around the kitchen line or past it, you shouldāve taken it out of the air.
Second, bend your knees and stay in a low position. That will make taking dinks out of the air much easier.
Finally, as with all dinks, maintain a loose grip on the paddle so you donāt pop your dinks up!
Following these three easy steps will help you to hit dinks out of the air and take your game to the next level.

I played two long sessions recently. 3 hours each.

No time for breakfast but luckily I grabbed a few CHOMPS meat sticks andā¦
Not only are they seriously delicious. But they really do keep you full!
If I eat a granola bar or fruit, Iām back after a few games for more. One meat stick and I was good for a whole session.

The paddle that will fix your drops
Quick shoutout to one of my favorite paddles Iāve tested this year š
The PIKKL Hurricane Pro.
This one is a drop shot machine! It has this plush responsive feel that makes it easy to hit touch shots, especially drops.
I donāt think Iāve missed one yet. I felt like Steph Curry shooting 3-pointers in basketball ā I could just land one after another š
On paper it didnāt look all that different from all the other raw carbon paddles but it has a unique feel I enjoy.
This is the paddle used by World #12 āHurricaneā Tyra Black. She is super fun to watch.
Excited too the PIKKL team offered Pickleheads readers 15% off. Now you can try one of my fav new paddles of the year for $135 š
