This interview made me really like Collin. He's a very analytical player. Im also so glad that Anna Bright gave recognition to Jorja Johnson. She's one of my favorite women on the tour
If Colin said what is reported to Ava Ignatowich then Colin may not be a good person. I wish some clarity would be brought to the reported Words Colin said to Ava. As a fan of Colin it was disheartening.
One of my fav episodes of all the podcasts! 🎉💪 I love the questions & seeing my fav pickleball pros in a new perspective. Thanks for all you do...keep doing it! ❤
Great job John. Should of asked. "TOOL" OR PERFECT CIRCLE"😊 Player Council is going to help with big discussions. Proton and Diadem use a PU paint that is close to rubber. Need one of those shirts.
Funny all the joola pros talking about gearbox being too strong yet their new line of paddles are going to be the hottest paddles to date, I was told the serves on the new paddles hit 60+mph from people at the most recent events.
Insightful content which flowed because multiple interviews were professionally edited - great job. The Joola pros comments on Gearbox had an ironic "pot calling the kettle black" vibe given the event was to launch their new weapon into the pickleball arms race .
Right at the start of the video: "When you've gotten to the point where people are wearing safety glasses predominantly you've probably reached that point." - Unfortunately it seems we are right about there or about to reach it, the Gearbox and the Alphas are wrecking people
The biggest difference is the sound. The Gearbox is so dangerous because it’s almost silent, providing no indication of how hard the ball is being hit and subsequently how fast it is coming at you. The Joola is louder than most paddles. Hits hard, but you will know it’s coming. For the record, both hit harder than USAP should be allowing.
10:47 Coffee can be dry processed or wet processed in many regions. What you're describing here is the dry process ("natural" sun drying), and not all coffee from Ethiopia is dry processed. The biggest difference between these two coffee regions is going to be acidity. Higher acidity in Ethiopia and lower in Sumatra with their wet-hulling method.
No one likes to watch 5 hours tennis match and why they slow down tennis court surfaces is because of new tech equipments. If players use old days wooden racket there will be plenty of serve and volley game. Hope I am right to correct Colin’s statement.
I played doubles against a guy that had that gearbox paddle. My partner got hit in the nose almost immediately. I had a very hard time tracking the ball coming off of it because of it’s extreme speed. I’ve played tennis for over 40 years and have good eye hand coordination and playing against that paddle was ridiculous. I fear for women’s safety playing mixed doubles against someone using that thing.
I played against people with these paddles. After Playing against them, I know if this is the new standard in power and paddles , I would give up playing Pickleball. I love Pickleball but with these paddles it is no longer pickleball. It's a new game. I don't enjoy being hit with a ball over and over. Joola and Gearbox are on the verge of destroying the Game from the inside out. Someone at my local park already got a detached Retina from these paddles. Yes eyewear, which i wear but This has gone to far. This could be the begin-ing of the End for Pickleball. Watching it on the PPA also is not fun, points are no longer enjoyable. Its who ever can smash the ball at each other wins, that is why we see Joola sponsored players getting so far in tournaments. Blessings on and of the court. Reply
Oooo a very spicy opinion. While Daescu is on the rise right now I believe there haven't been enough time to see if he is going to stay at the top. Also Bright and Ignatowich are dating so it's unlikely.
She doesn't like playing against him and thinks it is bad for their relationship. That is the reason she dumped Riley to play with him in the first place
I’m sure she will most definitely see your opinion and it will enlighten her and she will most definitely realize you are right and dump her significant other. Thank you for your words of wisdom.
New serve blows.. lets be honest you’re nerfing anything that might be a weapon in order to make me watch boring 2 hour dink rallies, I think most people like to watch a fast pace game not one that puts them to sleep

Colin’s definitely one of my favorite players now after all the interviews I’ve seen him. Great guy and very smart.
Thank you for sharing this information with all of us…greatly appreciated!
Awesome interviews really good balance of unique stuff and Pickle Ball
Great work on these interviews.
Super interviews and really good questions, Great to see!
Hard not to like Ben. He's technical and a logical player. Also a down to earth nerd.
Well done! Good questions - entertaining yet informative.
agree on the escalation of power. takes away from the game and becomes largely about defending against injury.
Great interviews, really interesting. I love hearing all of these top pros talking about the game and paddles. They know it all so well.
Wow awesome interviews, I love the last question :)
Great insights from the players!
Nice work, John.
One of my fav episodes of all the podcasts! 🎉💪 I love the questions & seeing my fav pickleball pros in a new perspective. Thanks for all you do...keep doing it! ❤
Awesome interviews. Thanks for putting the time in and getting some interesting conversations with the stars!❤
Great video. I like how you edited together each question between players.
Per the usual, great work J-KEW.
Dude. You're like the Pickleball Pro Whisperer!
Love the vibes…💯👌
Thank you for the fun questions John 🙌
Like always John fantastic stuff
Great and insightful interviews!
Loved the video. Great content, and I think the players like the what if or what who type questions.
Great content. Smart players.
Great content!
Great interview - well done!
Great job John. Should of asked. "TOOL" OR PERFECT CIRCLE"😊

Need one of those shirts.
One of the most engaging PB pods I've seen. You might have been nervous John (I would have been) but good chemistry all around!
great interviews.
Is their a release date for the new Joola paddle possible next week?
Can you please review the Carbon Pickle Pro?
Pickleball is America's fastest-growing sport and we like it #Pickleball
Anna is sooooo sweet!
Great vid. Can you section the video off via the questions you asked? Would be huge for scrubbing through
Sickest Thumbnail.
I didnt come to this video expecting Tyson to look smaller than John.
Overall, great interviews!
Good stuff! What’s you think of The Exchange NOLA, John? That’s my club!
Went there yesterday, cool mom and pop place
Yeah I dug it! You mean you own the club, or that's where you go?
Interesting take, I don't hate making the ball softer... could be good for sound as well.
Can you imagine Novak , Alcaraz, and Nadal sitting around talking about rackets? Lmao. Geeks
As soon as you brought up paddle materials Ben became a kid again.
Funny all the joola pros talking about gearbox being too strong yet their new line of paddles are going to be the hottest paddles to date, I was told the serves on the new paddles hit 60+mph from people at the most recent events.
Thank you for your time and posting. Nicely organized. Nobody wants that power until their paddle company makes them one. Then it's okay.
John - Take a look at international badminton and the use of a tool by the referee to call an illegal serve. Same situation happening in Pickleball.
Insightful content which flowed because multiple interviews were professionally edited - great job. The Joola pros comments on Gearbox had an ironic "pot calling the kettle black" vibe given the event was to launch their new weapon into the pickleball arms race .
Very interesting conversations and very informative. But honestly I skipped anytime you asked non pickleball related questions.
Why not get rid of indoor balls? Why so much variability in bounce among ball makes?
John what are your thoughts on the nutsack protection coming?
Hahaha
i can't stand it when rec players say my drop serve is illegal. they think PPA rules are the standard, when in fact it's not.
Right at the start of the video: "When you've gotten to the point where people are wearing safety glasses predominantly you've probably reached that point."
- Unfortunately it seems we are right about there or about to reach it, the Gearbox and the Alphas are wrecking people
Tyson hating on the gearbox, yet I heard the new Joola is also a super hot paddle
From what some people have said on some subreddits is that Gearbox Pro Power is slightly but noticeably faster than the Joola Alpha
The biggest difference is the sound. The Gearbox is so dangerous because it’s almost silent, providing no indication of how hard the ball is being hit and subsequently how fast it is coming at you. The Joola is louder than most paddles. Hits hard, but you will know it’s coming.
For the record, both hit harder than USAP should be allowing.
If the pros are talking about the paddles being a problem then this is a problem. Time to nerf them
Name one random fact about theJohns brothers: neither have ever owned a tube of Chapstick in their entire lives. #gofundmejohnsbroschapstick
2:48 what is wrong with tyson's teeth? is he wearing false teeth already?

Wearing goggles while playing pickleball will take the sport's sexiness from a 2 out of 10 to a negative 20 out of ten
Better than taking your vision from 2/2 to a 1/2

Oh the irony of this video...
Anna Bright should dump James Ignatowich and play with Daescu. Results matter!
Oooo a very spicy opinion. While Daescu is on the rise right now I believe there haven't been enough time to see if he is going to stay at the top. Also Bright and Ignatowich are dating so it's unlikely.
She doesn't like playing against him and thinks it is bad for their relationship. That is the reason she dumped Riley to play with him in the first place
Yes but dumping ur boyfriend for another player is a little hard...
I’m sure she will most definitely see your opinion and it will enlighten her and she will most definitely realize you are right and dump her significant other. Thank you for your words of wisdom.
