🔥 The best paddle deal out there right now!
We’re big fans of 11SIX24. There’s a reason a number of their existing models feature in our best paddle guides.
Over the past couple of years, they’ve built a reputation for high-performing paddles at a fair price.
But this? This is getting a little ridiculous.
The paddles that started it all for 11SIX24, the Vapor, Pegasus, and Huarache Power, are now just $99. As in, the same paddles that were retailing for $150+ last week.
The reason? 11SIX24 is clearing space for the new Power 2 line, which Taylor already has in hand. Reviews are just around the corner, but in the meantime, we can say with certainty that up to 44% off the current range is the best deal we've come across this year.
If you’re in the market for a new paddle, already love the Power series, or have been waiting for the right moment to try 11SIX24, this is it… while stocks last 👇

🤾 The secret to attacking (that nobody talks about)
I’m pumped to welcome back Jordan Briones from Briones Pickleball for this week’s Level Up.
Hey Pickleheads readers,
Most players think attacking is about speed or power. It’s not.
This week, I’m sharing my “secret ingredient” to attacking in pickleball. The subtle shift that lets you adjust on the fly and turn almost any ball into an offensive opportunity.
It’s simple. It’s overlooked. And once you see it, you’ll start spotting attackable balls everywhere.

🔥 Paddle Battle hits mid-season form

Wow! Pickleball Kingdom Paddle Battle is heating up…
If you’ve been meaning to catch up, Episodes 3-6 are live and the competition has officially hit that mid-season gear shift. Momentum’s swinging fast, rivalries are heating up, and every match feels heavier as elimination creeps closer.
This is where it gets fun to watch. Players are pushing themselves physically and mentally, the pressure is exposing cracks and breakthroughs, and the stakes are very real… especially with franchise ownership and pro contracts still on the line.
Plus, don’t forget: fans have real power here. Weekly voting helps decide the two franchise winners, and every vote gives you a shot at winning an autographed paddle (like the one Jenny’s holding with Keven Wong).

📺 New episodes drop every Wednesday at 8:00 PM ET on YouTube.

🤌 The right way to concede the kitchen

The PicklePlex, Punta Gorda, FL

Now this is a flex.
Rows of glowing courts, Florida sunset doing its thing in the background, and lights kicking on just as the games heat up. The PicklePlex isn’t just big… it’s built for full-send evenings where the rallies don’t stop when the sun goes down.
It’s bright, it’s bold, and it feels like pickleball under stadium lights. Day session? Great. Twilight grind with that pink-and-purple sky overhead? Even better.
I imagine it’s impossible to leave this court! ❤️
