Patriquin/Alshon

Despite the hot start to this year and the high expectations, have other teams already started to figure this pair out? They almost fell to the #33 seed today at round of 32. That was unheard of in their 2025 partnerships. Are Patriquin/Alshon the most susceptible to upsets out of the current top 4 men’s teams? Their part of the bracket has some good competition including a potential rematch against Deviliers/Vich. Should be fun to watch.

Franklin Paddles kinda mid

Unpopular opinion but Franklin paddles kinda suck and are mediocre. The only reason so many people play with them is because the pros are sponsored by them! I’ve tried so many other brands that are better by a landslide but aren’t used by many pros thus less popular. Franklin paddles also break down so fast I don’t know why theyre still so popular among so many players…

Question about Selkirk Advocate

So im a local open play player in a large city who is striving to be a 5.0. Im about a 4.5 right now with a long way to go. I genuinely like my selkirk gear, and often wear a selkirk shirt, hat, and both my paddles are selkirk. I'm usually one of the best at open play (3.0-4.2s are there), i get asked all the time "youre so good, are you a selkirk sponsor?". I always laugh and say no. And when i do in fact play sponsored players, i get smacked like 11-6. But it got me thinking, since i get aske...

Does playing with a weaker partner make you better?

I just read a Facebook post about Pickleball, and I am trying to process it. It was an advertisement for Pickleball training, and I know it was meant to be provocative. The claim is that playing with someone weaker exposes your skill level. You must: 1. Own the rally, not your half of the court, 2. Shot selection becomes your primary weapon, 3. Control tempo like a professional, 4. Use positioning to hide weakness, 5. Treat tough partnerships as skill tests. Elite players can win regardless of ...
