Addicted to Passions and Pulp
To close things out, my Net Woes have turned into Net Wins! Yeah, so my SwiftNet pull cord started slipping one day, and I contacted the company for support. On the next day, Rich, the customer care manager, reached out for more details and asked for pictures of certain parts.After a few email exchanges (some […]
It's your insoles and definitely not mine since I've been a fan and user of Move insoles for several years. My casual kicks are lined with the All Days, especially while traveling. Even snug sneakers are worth replacing the included insoles with the Baselines.On the pickleball court, you must be playing with the Game Day […]
So I recently learned about viral induced arthritis or viral arthritis which is swelling of the joints when you have a viral infection. In the specific case where a virus causes diarrhea (non-explosive) then triggers arthritis in your ankles, I term this "assritis."
Well, duh... it's so obvious. After knowing your pickleball socks game had to be on point, I realized I never considered your shoes as the primer for success!To overcome that shortfall, your pickleball game deserves this upcoming court shoe combining the past with the present. The Nike Vapor X Posite takes the performance and tooling […]

It's your socks. Yup, it's your socks holding you back. So you need to up your sock game with these […]
After primarily using elongated paddles (and one hybrid), I bought two widebody paddles to gauge the differences in shapes. Both from Enhance, I purchased the Turbo MPP and Duo. Overall, I'm liking the maneuverability of the widebodies. Movement doesn't feel hinged or staccato - just continuous, harmonious motion.While the length difference between an elongated and […]
I'm currently working with the excellent customer service team of SwiftNet to figure out what's wrong with my SwiftNet. After putting up the net and pulling the cords tight, the cord on one side slowly slides loose. The cords aren't frayed or anything, but it looks like the internal locking mechanism isn't grabbing/holding on.Hoping to […]

How to Pickleball (HTP) is a relatively new pickleball instructional channel on Instagram, but the content is solid and entertaining.The strength of HTP is really breaking down techniques and explaining them in unorthodox (but sensical) ways. Give HTP a watch!
Yes, paddle lust is real, and no, I don't need another pickleball paddle... but both you and I know that another paddle (or two) is in sight.While I wouldn't mind trying out Friday's well received Aura and Aura Pro line, there are some interesting developments coming shortly from Enhance Pickleball. Yes, the same Enhance that […]
With the sheer volume of pickleball paddles coming to market month after month, lusting for the newest paddle is a definite dilemma.The latest paddle eye candy would definitely be this Friday Aura Pro in the Miami Vice colors. That blue and flamingo pink combination feels so right, but even with the bonus extras, that $189 […]
I had my first play session with the new Pop N Treasure from Pickle Poppers, and it was a seamless transition. I had started the day with my regripped Gherkin Draco but then switched it up after a few games.There was no real adjustment period. Sure, the sound and feel of the paddle hits were […]
Well, I can only assume this specific elongated shape is very popular with pickleball companies. I mean check out this profile overlay of the Enhance Turbo, Luzz Lab Tornazo 2, and Pickle Poppers Pop N Treasure. Looking from above, can you see the other paddles underneath when stacked?
Melin is at it again, this time tapping into the Top Gun motif. Their latest hat features the need for speed.I'm really on the fence with this one. Firstly, I don't need another Melin hat. Secondly, the logo has the Top Gun feels, but I'm just not totally feeling the MELIN name. Or maybe it's […]
Look for another review coming soon. This time, it's the Pop n Treasure from Pickle Poppers.
I'm not a paddle reviewer, but yet here I am... again. This time with the Enhance Turbo MPP in the widebody shape. I've been main-ing the elongated version for some time, liking its pop, power, and overall easy performance. Majority of my paddles have been elongated, so I wanted to try something different. Although both […]
I guess it never dawned upon me that there are only so many pickleball paddle shapes out there. So I was surprised when I compared my Enhanced Turbo MPP with my new Luzz (Lab) Tornado 2. These elongated paddles play very differently even though are the same exact shape! Yes, the same shape.Here are pictures […]
And now it feels so much better! I applied an overgrip right after getting the Gherkin Draco and always didn't enjoy the feel of the handle. I thought it was the handle size or shape that just didn't agree with me. So while it's a solid paddle, I just wasn't a fan of the feel […]
I mentioned the new Luzz Lab experimental concept previously but missed out on the big saving, crowd source tiers. Still though at $99, I decided to see how this Lab experience went and ordered a Tornazo 2 on March 19, 2026.All paddles have to clear the crowd source minimums before going to production, and this […]
Sorry to disappoint, but this post is just a picture of the new hybrid shape of the Enhance Turbo MPP. No review, no comparisons, just a pic of the paddle that arrived for a family member.Hopefully, I can test it out later and compare this shape with the Enhance Turbo MPP elongated and widebody (not […]
