A Brief History of Every PPA Tour #1 Men's Singles Player The Dink Pickleball
In 320 total weeks, only four players have basked in the glory of being the best men's singles player on the PPA Tour.
Hello, I am an unranked junior in college but I have been playing on and off since summer 2024. This means I have been through the beginner phase with my friend group, made a inner circle based on pickleball, and have been good enough to really compete in college intramural pickleball competitions at our recreational center. I have not perfected the drop and I am scared to attempt the drop sometimes against tough opponents. I have been stuck at the skill level I am now for a good year I would sa...
Haworth Earns #1, ALW Triples, and Ben and Gabe are Unstoppable - PPA Greater Zion Cup Recap The Dink Pickleball
This is a recap of the 2026 PPA Greater Zion Cup presented by Black Desert Resort, which took place in southwestern Utah from March 23-30, 2026.
I play in an intermediate women’s ladder. There are varying degrees of skill (some women are very advanced) and varying degrees of aggressiveness. We are ranked court 1 through seven depending on our play (point and wins). I’ve played on courts 2 through seven as I’ve had great nights and no so good ones. One thing that is consistent, my play suffers if my partner is rude, condescending, yells at me or tries to coach through the game. And the rub is that they’re kind of hurting themselves b...

Been vibe coding on this idea I had to have a new way to do competitive games and bring more fun to my daily games. I play a lot of dota2 so I took inspiration from the ranked system and I thought it would be cool to have a number based elo system where you can challenge people at your local court and save games and rank yourself with a ranked game system. I just got all the courts in the us added to the map system so if you live in the US you should have your local court on the app. I’ve ha...
There aren't enough negative DUPR posts until the major issues with the rating system are resolved. These issues impact gated DUPR open play, tournament entry level restrictions, and general enjoyment of the game. **#1 Initial ratings based on air** - Issue: If I play 5 matches with one partner there is no way to tell if I'm a 2.5 and my opponent is 3.5, or if we are both 3.0s. - Proposal: Require a minimum of 6 matches and 2 partners before the initial rating populates. This can easily be ac...
Top-Ranked Pickleball Star Waters Heads to Vietnam for First International Competition Fine Day 102.3
Dude has already gone through three so far this year and will be playing with Jessie Irvine next week here in Texas. Is it scheduling issues? Looking for best compatibility? His narcissism driving partners away? 😅 I just find it highly unusual for a top doubles player, especially the #4 ranked men’s mixed, to be churning through partners so much.
I watch this guy and I think how is he number 1? Serve, not bad but not a weapon. Overheads seem to be highly conservative. Drives are good but not stronger than others I've seen. The only attribute He seems to be the best at are ATPS which is a non factor in almost every game. No disrespect somethings obviously working for him.
Out of my many pickleball weaknesses my backhand is the #1 problem. I always end of doing one handed backhands because I can’t fit both hands on the handle easily or quickly. For context, I’m a big dude. Has anyone tried an enlongated handle for this problem? Does it help? Does elongated mess up your forehand shots?

2026 MLP Draft Preview: The Top Available Players, Ranked by DUPR The Dink Pickleball
When you depend on wrist action, you lose control. You lose repeatability. And in pickleball, consistency is everything.
My post history has clearly defended dupr as I’ve always viewed them as empirically sound and largely unbiased. Dupr is offering a period to reset your dupr score next month and if you do poorly you can return to your old score (a no lose situation as they put it). I can’t begin to explain what a horrible idea this is from legitimate ranking system and takes away all of their credibility. Again I’ve defending their algorithm time after time for the most part. But moves like this are very unp...

Hayden and Anna Take Down the #1 Seed - PPA Mesa Cup Recap The Dink Pickleball
How about the giant slayer Matt Barlow! Defeating multiple top players en route to a semi's appearance. Obviously he's a far better player than his "ranking" but this is one of the most interesting storylines in professional pickleball that we've seen in some time.
Update - Seeing the Vietnam comment - this is based on my purely on the data i am getting !😅 Been tracking pickleball games worldwide and the international growth has been wild.
