😲 How did he get away with this?
This week's epic point comes from last week's APC Championship Series in Tulsa, OK – submitted by one of our subscribers Aaron.
It features one of the most insane returns I've ever seen. In fact, I've never seen anything like it...
I’ve got a couple of questions—was it legal? And what would you do if a player pulled this on you?

Built for Women Who Play Hard

We’ve talked a lot about Tyrol shoes—the Smash for stability, the Velocity V for comfort—but the Ace is their latest release, designed specifically for women.
It brings together the features Tyrol is known for:
A flow-through cooling system that keeps your feet comfortable during long matches
A scuff-resistant upper that’s lightweight but built to last
A fit that’s secure at the heel and roomy up front, with extra toe depth for stop-start movement at the kitchen line
And just like the Smash, it’s got the same herringbone tread for exceptional traction on any court surface.
If you’re hard on your shoes and play often, the Ace is designed to keep up with you.

Not Just a Paddle. A Piece of Art.

Let’s face it—most paddles look like they came off the same factory line.
Eklipse paddles are different.
Each one features bold, eye-catching artwork designed by emerging artists—and every purchase helps support their work through royalties.
Whether you’re playing at your local courts or in a tournament, these paddles turn heads and start conversations.
They’re made for players who want their gear to say something—about their style, their creativity, and their support for something bigger than the game.
If you’re tired of blending in, Eklipse lets you stand out.
