  • President of the UPA + JOOLA Vs USAP: Can Only One Survive? | Episode 43

    Special guest Jason Aspes, President of the UPA, joins TPL Pod to answer questions about pro player Andrei Daescu’s $50,000 fine and 60-day suspension, the future of UPA’s paddle certification process (to rival USAP’s), and the need for a strong governing body to protect pickleball. Find out what JOOLA the pros were playing at PPA Sacramento that looked like, smelled like, and sounded A LOT like the Alpha (which has been de-listed from USAP’s approved paddle list, ergo also PPA?). Is it true that a line call replay system will actually be implemented in the next few events? Find out the answers to these hot questions and catch up with Jilly B and K-Dubs on their whirlwind trip to NorCal and what it was like to play with the Rattlesnake himself, Travis Rettenmaier.

  • Are the PPA/MLP For Sale? Are We Ruining Pickleball? | This Pickleball Life (Ep. 39)

    This is the most loaded podcast we’ve done in a LONG time—we’ll give you all the juicy drama around the JOOLA Gen 3 paddles failing at Los Cab and what those paddles, and other power paddles, mean for our sport— and how we think that the UPA-the newly formed umbrella company for MLP and PPA—is actually for sale and we reveal who the prospective buyer could be—lastly, we have an update on quite a few older and very important podcast topics, like the sexual harassment lawsuit against USAP and Donn Paben, as well as an update on the Player Collective and where players stand and how they are being treated right now.
