THE FAULT LINE PODCAST: Where we go over all things pickleball. This pod is mostly based on the scene in Utah. We discuss pros and young athletes that are making it big here in the Wasatch Mountains. Come Learn why Utah is the place to be if you are playing pickleball!
DINKING DEEP - JOHN THORN:
Today on Dinking Deep we have one of Utah's most talented athletes! He just triple crowned in The Club Pickleball USA’s 5.0 division; a feat that has never been done before, at this club where the top talent in Utah plays. He is one of the most recent winners of the most prestigious leagues, called “Sundance League”, based in Orem Utah at Club Pickleball USA under the name “Team Jacobsen” where he and his teammates won $20,000; that team comprised of Elsie Hendershot, most recent signed to the PPA at(12), Braden Jacobson(15), Paige Miles(34), and himself at 29. He is a Father, a Husband, and a heck of an athlete. He has been sponsored by Bird Pickleball, Selkirk, and now, Versix. He is undoubtedly Utahs #1 Lefty with a 5.643 DUPR. And he's looking to keep his unstoppable streak going as he pursues pro pickleball on the PPA tour.
