🤯 This shot shouldn’t work—but it does

Submitted by Pickleheads subscriber Steve—this point isn’t your typical epic rally, but it features a trick shot so slick we had to share it.

Watch as one of the players pulls off a no-look, behind-the-back return in response to a lob attempt. Yes, you read that right. Behind the back. Without even looking.

It’s bold. It’s cheeky. And somehow…it works.

🏥 The mistake most players make before stepping back on the court

Pickleball season’s heating up—but according to one expert, there’s a simple reason so many players get sidelined early.

If you’re gearing up for summer play, this is one read you don’t want to skip.

🎾 Pickleball doesn’t care how many Grand Slams you’ve won

Andre Agassi and world No. 1 Anna Leigh Waters teamed up at the US Open Pickleball Championships—but their run ended in round two after a hard-fought three-set match.

Even legends are learning that this game comes with its own curveballs.

🏟️ From MLB to F1, pro sports can’t get enough pickleball

Pickleball is popping up everywhere—Formula One races, MLB games, and even NHL arenas.

From courtside exhibitions to pro players throwing out first pitches, major sports franchises are tapping into pickleball’s popularity to engage fans.
