For how much court Ben wants to take, he’d do better with a right hander on the right side. You don’t want a lefty with their forehand in the middle, who will feel like it’s their ball, when Ben is coming in to take court.
Ben and (stage 5) Klinger would be a fun duo to watch... especially post-match Klinger interviews. Ben would be the alpha in this case... and Klinger can just do his thing.
You have a point, but I've found the old saying "it takes two to Tango" to be true. Much as I love Rafa's spirit, I've seen him and the Alhounis and AJ act aggressively several times. I wouldn't be surprised at all at further tussles among those guys and "Mr. Andiamo" and maybe Fed and a couple of others. On the other hand, I'd be shocked if Thomas Wilson or Ben Johns or Tardio or Klinger or JW (most of all) get into it with anyone. Some guys just are just more tightly wound than others.
I won’t say how I know this…but I live in Yucaipa *wink wink*….and Hayden didn’t want to play with Ben cause Hayden said he doesn’t think him and Ben would get along on the court and Hayden wouldn’t have fun
Is the volcan ball really that good?? We all know that C. Johns hates it, and I also saw another player step on it after the loss of a match. I haven't had a chance to play with it yet. In any case, since the 4 are playing the same ball, the losing side really can't blame the ball.
One of the things I like about this podcast is that the sponsors are mostly really good businesses. Like I've bought a ton of stuff from Pickleball Central and have gotten great service every time. I do wish you'd stop pushing the Vulcan balls, though. They suck, and the only reason the PPA uses them is they're being paid a huge amount of money to promote them. Pros complain about them all the time. Is it really worth diminishing the quality of all those pro games for that money? (For either the PPA or Vulan?) I can't help but believe that hearing all the pros complain about them all the time is not very good promotion. I was going to try them out, but after hearing all the complaints, I'll pass.
Jimmy is wrong on this one. Questioning a paddle means you don’t think the paddle is legal. Anna bright was just making sure the paddle had a sticker. There’s a giant difference. Can’t believe you have me here on the side of defending AB. Smh
Why no Ben and JW? JW on the left. In today's game it's not a demotion to move to the right. Ben can still take most of the court and anything up to JW goes night night
Wow - Jimmy continues to lower the bar. He uses stereotypes and his biases to insult people in the South, NASCAR fans and people who live in the Daytona area.
He is joking! He uses humor which is what a lot of people tune in for. It’s also his podcast so he has free rein and people can decide to watch or not.
My vote for Ben's new partner is Klinger.
Same. Best skill set. Similar demeanor

@ Wow honestly that makes so much sense. I take my opinion back.
Think Klinger would be a great team to watch

I loved hearing your thoughts on the Daytona tournament.
I about lost it 🤣🤣🤣🤣do you think Christian moves Anna Leigh’s elf on a shelf 😂
Yeah, with the right partner Ben would hardly ever lose in the current men’s doubles mix. Also, CJ Klinger is up there in the best picks for Ben.
Tyler you need to bring the penguin to every tourney, and when you win a match you have to say “powered by Pudgy” 😂🐧
Jimmy describing the post match men's "fights' had me LMAO!!!
9:35 Ben and Collin
31:20 Daytona
Ben and auggie would be nasty
Good catch. I never would have thought of Auggie, but now that you mention it, I think that might be his best choice, at least to try out.
Excited for 2025! Another great pod! Tyler and Ben 2025!? 😉 Happy Holidays Jimmy & Ty!
My vote is you Tyler!
Daytona Open: Come for the pickleball, stay for the bouts!
Let's go!
Boxing Day is Dec 26th. Canadians do celebrate Christmas, lol
Why is nobody saying CJ Klinger for Ben’s partner? They would be so good together!
34:15 jordan insists that he’s 6’3 and I call bullshit on it every time he says it lmao he’s definitely 6’4
Ben might play with a lefty, Klinger, Tyler or Ge.
I see Tyler & Ben
Tyler owes Jimmy some cool. Christmas gifts 🎁
AJ has two fights in two matches, so clearly, it is not Alhouni's or Rafa's fault. Be honest about it!

Starcraft for life
is it possible that he thought AJ said "Get some Ghadaffi" since he is from libya?
Hed and Fayden hahaha 😂
I won’t say how I know this…but I live in Yucaipa *wink wink*….and Hayden didn’t want to play with Ben cause Hayden said he doesn’t think him and Ben would get along on the court and Hayden wouldn’t have fun
🎯
I d love to see Onisha on the pod-- does she sign autographs? If I ever go to the PPA...
I thought Ben wanted a lefty? How about Auggie Ge??!
My vote is for Ge…Alshon would be terrible. Too emotional

The original ball was terrible and got out of round quick. They re-did it and the new ones are solid but pricey.
JW Johnson will be the best for Ben Johns 😊
Where would Ben and ALW finish? In mens…

Miss Tyler's cool blond hair! Are you going to dye it again?
I want to see Pudgy at Masters. 😂
Do Tyson and Ben dislike each other?

I think I agree with Jimmy - if she's concerned if the paddle had a sticker isn't she questioning if it's legal?
I want Rafa to play with Ben
Why no Ben and JW? JW on the left. In today's game it's not a demotion to move to the right. Ben can still take most of the court and anything up to JW goes night night
Jdub and Collin team drop
Players should not play with prototype paddle's not available to the public Ala Selkirk boomstick in tournaments..
Klinger

No offense but your background is giving 13 year old teenager.
This was Tyler’s opportunity to play with Ben but his offense isn’t there yet!!!!!! Bummmer
It's there now
Pickleball is soft. Big Mo did exactly what he should have. My brothers fade is my fade even if he’s a hook 🤣
