👨‍🎨 Precision, patience, and a little flair

Submitted by Pickleheads subscriber Ian, this week's Epic Point is a rollercoaster.

It starts with fast hands and resets, builds into a tense dink battle at the kitchen, and ends with each team attempting multiple lob attempts to clinch the point.

Precision, patience, and a little flair—it’s all here in under 45 seconds.

🔥 OnlyFans TV is launching a... pickleball reality show?

Just when you thought pickleball had officially done it all, here comes Smash City—a new four-part reality series from OFTV (yes, OnlyFans’ free streaming platform).

Hosted by sometimes controversial tennis star Nick Kyrgios and reality TV personality Sophie Stonehouse, the show pits eight OnlyFans creators against each other in a tournament full of “silly and suggestive” challenges—with $20,000 on the line. Adult film star Rachel Starr will oversee the competition. Yes, really.

Kyrgios—who co-owns the Miami Pickleball Club and is set to make his pro debut this year, partnering with Jack Sock—says he’s excited to push boundaries and bring even more attention to the sport.

Pickleball’s gone mainstream. Now it’s going off-script.

Smash City premieres June 13. Mark your calendars—or don’t. We won’t judge.

Seattle’s lone safe-parking lot for people living in RVs has been shut down—making way for a new 8-court pickleball complex in West Seattle.

The move has sparked debate over recreation vs. housing, as dozens of displaced residents now face uncertain options.
