I find it enlightening that these three pros aren’t really into the technology behind the paddles they use but us Rec players can reel off paddle specs in our sleep. Props to Travis for keeping it real.

@86309 24 дня назад

Love Travis's take on things. refreshing to hear a Pro know the paddle tech and how it affects his game.. Great interview questions John!

@dougniwa8886 24 дня назад

Great interviews. I think more highly of all these players and of you after watching. Thanks!

@fitzytom 24 дня назад

Great pod 💪🏼💪🏼👏🏻👏🏻🇮🇪

@kimleith1378 24 дня назад

Great interviews John. The face of these Protons are not the norm, Peel Ply is.Think it's a PU Paint. Kind of "rubberish" More spin to me would make play more interesting i.e. Ping Pong. Hitting a ATP from the baseline corners would be great.

@KinchReindl-eb3bc 24 дня назад

Thanks for the interviews. When paddles ;). I check their site daily to see if they are available. Glad they say new orders will ship in July.

Meghan Dizon 😍😍😍😍

@russellmurray8162 23 дня назад

Travis Rettemeirer by far the most thoughtful guy in professional pickleball always a great interview

@echochapman7657 23 дня назад

Really like to hear Travis going deep on PB, one of the smartest guys on the tour. Don't agree with him on power limits, but he argues the point well.

@supermochithedog6896 23 дня назад

Andrei is the best professional player!

@wio27 24 дня назад

Spin is the only thing keeping power in check.

@gilbd 24 дня назад

Did you get a chance to play outside in Phx? :) Good job on the interviews. Travis' comment on having fun playing with 60+ 3.5-4.0 players at the parks was enlightening. Interested in hearing your take on the latest UPA/PPA "paddle collusion" news.

@anonymousbub511 24 дня назад

Can you explain more on the break-in period? I have my own proton and just like Meghan i didn’t experience a break in but only have had it for 2 weeks now

@johnkewpickleball 24 дня назад

The paddle does loosen up over the first couple of weeks, both the nanotac surface and the underlying carbon fiber layers. So it gets a little plusher and the sweet spot seems to spread out a bit. But there's also just a getting used to the paddle period, since it's nonstandard in many ways and doesn't play much like other paddles

@El_Guap 24 дня назад

Tell Andrei to share some of the pine tar with Rettenmaier... based on his play this last week... he needs what ever he can get.

@juliavonah9124 24 дня назад

I can not believe he said his wins with pine tar ....

@echochapman7657 23 дня назад

Wondering if some weak loser would bring that up. Figures a guy that styles himself el Guap would be the one 😄. Anyone with a brain, that took the time to fact check, would understand Andrei manned up when he could have pointed fingers...... I would imagine either of these guys would tap dance on you playing with a paddle cover..... there are those that do things and those that try to pull themselves up by being clever. Buddy, you aren't bright enough for that.

@lesterma1608 24 дня назад

Even if they limit power in paddles there’s still players that can hit the ball hard?

@MattyRut2922 21 день назад

@johnkewpickleball you post a Travis only version of the interview.

@Eric-Denton 14 дней назад

@48:20 "... 5'10"? TEENY." 😅

@2musiclover534 24 дня назад

An entire hour and 10 minutes and nothing on the new Proton Series Four?

@landonp.4073 24 дня назад

Yeah not much info. Does it even have the nano tech surface?

@2musiclover534 24 дня назад

@landonp.4073 No. Kevlar I believe with Carbon Fiber underneath

@0RANGOTANG 24 дня назад

What paddles are they all using?

@CKMD1 2 дня назад

I’d also like to know which exact paddles the three pros are using. Thanks.

@davidj7516 24 дня назад

The paddles are moving forward, but the pro sport has been moving backward for the last four years. It is a total mess right now. Players need a union to set playing standards and even venue standards. Last weekend it was super hot and sunny outside, on Championship Court, the players had zero shade during their breaks. When they dumped Steve Kuhn, the pro sport of pickleball took a dozen steps back, and still going backward.

BANH MI SAIGON BAGUETTE

@DanielS-pn3hy 23 дня назад

After spending 350 on a labs paddle and playing with others. Selkirk sucks. Many other better paddles from smaller companies. Imo.

@123BV8 24 дня назад

So out of stock for over 8 months, really are they selling paddles? And the friction test, heard it well exceeds the new test, now what? Are they holding off on selling them till they see what USA Pickleball is going to do? Is that why they aren’t selling them? Be nice if they could come up with a paddle to sell!

@BlGSac 24 дня назад

The friction test exceeds, but the amount of spin created was on par with what other paddles are at.

@ThiccBoi23 24 дня назад

Right. I've never seen anyone with these paddles even on YT.

@bucklau3933 22 дня назад

Heavy breaths and raspy voices 🚬😂

@trumpisastump9382 24 дня назад

"Safety" concerns about a wiffleball????Wear eye protection, no matter the speed of the ball, sharpen your reflexes, and stop being such whinny scared babies.

@ThiccBoi23 24 дня назад

Did you read what you wrote and not see any logical issues?
