The G.O.A.T.’s paddle just got a HUGE upgrade…

Paddletek ALW-C image

Stephen & I tested Anna Leigh Waters’ new signature paddle, the ALW-C all last month.

And wow. We both agreed – what an improvement over last year’s model! Easily one of the top paddles we’ve tested all year.

If you didn’t know Anna Leigh is women’s #1 and pickleball’s GOAT 🐐

She has a huge backhand and is unstoppable playing at the kitchen. I definitely felt a little like her on the court with this paddle…

The ALW-C has a ton of power and some of the best spin of any paddle I’ve tested recently.

But it’s also light and made to win hands battles.

I’ve never tested a paddle this light with so much power.

If you want quick hands at the kitchen or need more power in your game, I highly recommend this paddle.

Level Up image

šŸ¤¾ā€ā™€ļø Off balance? Do this…

Excited as always to welcome back Kyle, ThatPickleballGuy, for this week’s Level Up tip!

Hey Pickleheads readers,

Kyle, That Pickleball Guy, back again…

The biggest mistake I see players make when they get off-balance is they put their head down, they panic, and they try to hit a speed up ā€œall or nothingā€ winner!

You see, when you’re off balance at the kitchen line, with your head down, you have no vision of where your opponents are on the court. Or, what their counter positions are.

So, don’t speed it up.

Instead, hit a reset ball back to the middle of the court. This allows you the time to get back to a balanced position.

Then, later in the point you can speed the ball up.

Don’t make a complicated shot when you’re off-balance, reset the ball and go for the winner later when you’re in a better position to do so.

Hope this helps!
