Great pod episode

Thanks for having me, brother! Was such a pleasure. First pod of my life :)

Matt might be interested in Brian Cain's mental performance coaching. At Matt's level everyone is good. What separates the best from the rest is mental performance.

I listen in my car. My granddaughter said that man says bad words. Yes, I replied, I guess he doesn’t know better. My suggestion is that his dollar contributions to the cussing jar go to her 529 college fund.

Wishing Caden the best at the PPA Virginia Beach Cup this week.❤️

We had a two room house Kaden..........

opps, when you hit a nail with a hammer, aren't you using a continental grip? of course, you will not hit the nail using an eastern grip on a hammer, would you? .. lol !!

I think Pampers or Huggies need to sponsor Caden after sharing his bedwetting story 😂😅

TMI 😮

I think this was one of the most interesting episodes of the podcast. I don't agree with Mike on everything, but he is clearly really passionate about the game and has thought a lot about the topics he discussed. Really like how he follows thoughts to their full conclusion rather than staying on the surface and keeping answers simple and safe.

@ 36:00 new pro serve

@36.00 finally starts talking about new pro serve

Drop ball is only way to fix the serving and make it consistant...drop behind the base line

The last time I wet the bed I was 11. Caden is either the most mentally strong player for sharing that story or he just might need therapy. Thanks for sharing? ? 😅

"My Lil Gorilla" 🦍

Refs: it's too hard to judge navels and hip joint location for serves PPA: we gotchu. We gonna swap out navels and hips for 45 degrees and 2.874" to 2.973 inches. 😂

Who the hell are making these serve rules

Thai is definitely in my top 2...

Ball to the face... Tomahawk is where it's at!! You can angle hard as you fed away and get some good pop with your wrist snap! Practice it some time. It's a good option to have in your arsenal! #pickleballchris #tylerwrenpropickleball #OptaHealthAndWellness #rawpickleballbuzz #Pickleball

AI definitely wrote that article

🧋💖👍🏼

I learned that Kevin got signed in 2016 and that Caden is probably 23

Just get rid of height requirement on serve. There is actually no advantage serving underhanded(paddle face tilted downward) above the waist. Try it and see for yourself. If however anywhere close to sidearm then call for wrist violation

LOL Caden stone-faced staring into Jordan's soul asking if he remembers to wash his butt crack was definitely not on my Bingo card for this podcast. 🤣

T-ball serve coming

AI generated articles are out of control

I don't really care about pro PB because of all that you're speaking of - but it is interesting. What it will come donw to is the unionizatioon of players, going back to what JB has brought up long ago. Howerver, as you were talking, I started thinking, let everyone cheat and then it's a level playing field, except for the players who don't have access to the power that some o fthe companies have - and then you addressed that particular point. Now my prediction. Suppose with eye protection, ALW gets injured by a James Ig or Daescu - at that time PB will do something about regulating PB. But until a top girl player, is injured by one of the guys, the parties will continue to war due to their pride. At the rec level, no one will care. Use whatever paddle you can muster up. Anarchy PB already exists at the rec level.

Anarchy pickleball would reverse pickleball's momentum as an inclusive sport for everyone. Big demographics of players will begin to drift away. Perhaps table tennis will capitalize on the outflux of players from pickleball Thunderdome of the amped paddle. There's a point where I will refuse to play with people whose paddles are too jacked. It will begin with me becoming blaise about open play and only playing within closed cliques where I know that people aren't firing the ball at 60 mph all day long. Without open play to cultivate fresh blood, the cliques will eventually wither. RIP pickleball as a major movement. This is far from impossible.

Less focus on regalateing paddle and more on refree calling tne balls would serve the game better at this point of time

weird dude but interesting and important topic. kinda cool to see just an honest conversation with not a whole lot more to it.

Hi Jordan! (It’s been years since met you and your wife briefly at the Golden State Championships-six years ago to be exact. And you were a busy dude!) First off, I listened to this as a podcast in my car. I kept having to turn Matt up and you down. And I think you need to adjust the gain on your mic, it’s clipping when you talk louder than it can handle. Just some recording feedback/input. (No pun intended!) Ok. Matt and I agree on some things. But not others. I believe there is a BIG difference between USA Pickleball and UPA-A. USAP has been around for decades as a grassroots nonprofit seeking to grow the sport. Yes, there are paid staff now, but there are a boatload of volunteers. UPA-A is operated by for-profit companies… the millionaires who want to control our sport top to bottom. To me, it seems they are acting like greedy spoiled men mad because USAP told them “no”, so they started their own competing governing body. We don’t need another governing body. We have one and, sure there are growing pains, but there is not nearly as much conflict of interest than with UPA-A which is more or less run by the big paddle companies. As for the Gearbox Gen3 paddles, there is an 18-month window after a paddle is approved by USAP before it can be delisted. (Assuming the paddle doesn’t change from the submitted test paddles, a la Joola.) I have to wonder if the clock is quietly ticking on those GB Gen3 paddles. Thanks for the interesting discussion.

Why do paddle regulations even exist? What problem are they attempting to solve? I like the anarchy pickleball concept. Let the manufacturers make what they want and let the PEOPLE choose (with their dollars) what paddles they want. If one or two become most common because they are the most powerful then so be it, what's the issue? If you want to compete at the highest levels you always have to invest in the best equipment so that would not change. Competition and innovation among manufacturers would thrive which is good for everyone. Let's end the whole paddle regulation concept completely.

Great video thx!!!

One, how will the game advance and be promoted without money? The level of the pro game has greatly increased now that many of them are able to play full-time. This is good for the game. Two, every sport has regulations for the equipment they use. Yes it is an issue. A big one. People need to get together and figure this one out. Three, and I agree it should be done without crushing small business competition.

I have not heard about Gearbox failing. They sponsor very few pro’s. Matt stated that he’d “had” played with Gearbox. I understand Joola. Gearbox paddles have never been banned. It seems like he has a bone to pick with Gearbox.

Matt just cut the hair off. Ridiculous hair.

I'm unsure why Briones gave voice to a person who might be an aspiring pro, but brings very little to the table except his strange opinions. Anarchy pickleball?? Has he spoken with any USAP or UPA-A official? Has he visited a paddle testing facility? Does he have a business degree? Does he understand the structure of non-profits? Has he ever been employed by a non-profit? Has he ever been employed by anyone? I think Briones would have had a better podcast interviewing someone randomly picked from his local court.

In table tennis paddles are tested right before the match. The test is not based on the deflection or anything like that, it's based on easily measurable values such as weight, dimension, width and the presence of easily identifiable chemicals. The paddle and rubber have to be pre-approved so then pre-competition testing isn't based on performance, it is simply to make sure it is free of alteration from what was sold. It's up to the certification committee to perform the necessary random tests to ensure that they random off the shelf paddle always pass the tests. It is not sufficient to test a paddle once and say it's good forever, paddles need to be randomly purchased and tested intermittently outside a competition environment and if a company is caught using 1 paddle for testing and selling another paddle, that's a serious offense which could take an entire companies product line out of approval. Every sport mandates equipment meets standards from baseball to tennis to hocky, you can't get rid of standards.

Wr2 softening the ball, then it would not bounce.

The UPA-A is looking at setting the paddle base fee at 100K, not the USAP, which is the current certifcation non-profit. UPA-A is owned by same person that owns PickleballCentral, PPA, and MLP. As most people play under USPA rules they can continue to cerifiy paddles and keep the fees low. The UPA-A can do their own, but most people don't need UPA-A certified paddles.

I like your content, but I see the duration of your videos, so usually give them a pass. Excellent, he's a freeloader off his parents, they want him out, but he doesn't care. His own words. What a lowlife. UPA and UPAA are two different entities.

The Diadem Vice and the Diadem Hush are both hotter than any Gen 3 paddle out right now.

So why do smaller companies need to pay $100K to get their paddles approved if it’s all bs anyway.!!!

Anarchy solves everything!

Easy fix, whos with me? 1) start your own league 2) overhead serves are legal. 3) sand paper paddles are legal. 4) run great tourneys, with much better payouts. 5) produce quality paddles at much cheaper rates.

Imagine if the PPA Pro matches did what MotoGP and F1 do for tires, 1 manufacturer for paddles. It would never happen but it’s an interesting thought.
