Thank you Jill Skeem and all the volunteers in Twin Falls for putting on a great tournament! We had a great time and met some really nice people.
I went undefeated in mens 5.0 with a fun and friendly partner, Levon K. What a great guy! Hopefully we will defend our title next year!
Jamison and I went 3 and 3 in the 5.0 bracket and had some great matches. Of course we would like to be on the medal stand, but we had a great time and played some excellent teams. So fun!
Congrats to all the medallists this weekend!
As always, thanks for your support Diadem Pickleball and Picklestrong eye protection. Next week livewirepickleball.com will be in Driggs ID for a clinic then on to Starr Valley WY for a fun round robin event! See you on the courts!

We had an absolute blast last weekend teaching two sold out clinics, to two awesome groups of people. In fact, SO much fun that we may have forgotten to take pictures of the first day. 😅
Strategy, mechanics, and lots of drills. Such a good time! We can’t wait to do it again. 🙌 Thanks to all of you that made it out, and for those of you that couldn’t be there, we will be back!

Our clinics and lessons can help with almost all of these…😉🙌

Five Reasons You're Not as Good at Pickleball as You Think You Are There are a lot of pickleball players who believe they are better at the sport than they actually are. We've got five reasons you're not as good as you think and what you can do about it.

Had a an absolute BLAST playing in the NAMI tournament this weekend. Thank you to all those who participated, donated, worked, and watched. It was a killer event (Mariah Stricklin you and your team killed it), at a wonderful facility. Was having so much fun playing mixed Saturday that we forgot to take a picture. 😅 Thanks to my lady teammates for carrying us to gold! So lucky to play with all three of you. 🙌

That’s my girl… Stella loves her new Picklestrong glasses!

What are thoughts on this? Are paddles becoming TOO hot?

Is Pickleball Paddle Manufacturing Facing a Potential Crisis? The latest wave of pickleball paddles to hit the market are causing quite a stir, mostly because of the increase in power they provide. We shed light on the hottest topic in the sport.

I mean…wow. We cannot even begin to explain how amazing our very first Tropical D**k Vacation was! We had an incredible time exploring the amazing island of Grand Cayman with an awesome group of women, as well as helping them to improve their game…in paradise! There was a ton of pickleball played, some sting rays kissed, and a bunch of incredible memories made. We can’t wait to do it again February 23rd to March 1st, 2025!!! More details on livewirepickleball.com. Only 16 spots available, so get on it! Let’s GO!!!!

The first ever Cayman Open Pickleball Tournament is in the books. It was a fantastic weekend arranged by . I’m working to get video of the best matches. There were some amazing games.
Michael and I took the gold, but not before some intense matches. Sooo fun!
Meanwhile Jamison and Zsu won gold in the women’s open! Woohoo!
Jamison and I took bronze in the mixed, not quite what we were hoping for, but had a great time and made the medal stand. Excellent matches and great fun! I’m trying to get the pic of the medal stand for the mixed.
Congrats to all the medalists.
Thanks for supplying the top quality gear!

Got a gold and a cameo appearance. Delray has been a blast so far. Great group of people at this one.

The Miami APP had it all! The venue was fantastic. It rained all weekend, but it didn’t matter inside the convention center. Shwew! The food in Miami was amazing. The APP ran a tight tournamnent, the courts were full all day. Excellent organization. Men’s senior pro didn’t go as well as I’d like, but Tommy was a great partner. Mens 5.0 was a great Saturday ending with a silver medal, thanks for being a great partner Munir! Finished with a golden ticket in mixed 4.5 with the amazing Roseann Heim!
Also, congrats to Nik and Zvika on a silver medal in their first major tournament! What a great finish to the weekend. Now on to Delray Beach in a couple weeks. Let’s go!
Special thanks to support for all the support from and New Balance. Cheers to you all!

Looking forward to some fun this weekend competing with some awesome partners at the Miami APP! Woohoo!
Thanks and New Balance. We’re gonna rock this weekend!

Check it out, here’s a chance to play some good competition and support the Twin Falls pickleball community.

put on a fun and challenging tournament this weekend for St Paddy’s day. Lots of good competition and fun teams. Jamison wasn’t available for this one, so Elena and I worked hard to take home the gold against a strong team of Jake and Nicole in a sweaty final match! Loads of of fun!
As always, thanks to my sponsors, New Balance and Diadem for supporting me with top quality gear.
Big thanks to V2O restaurant and wine bar for the gift cards! Fantastic food and drink on the island, check them out!
Let’s go!

A great group for Tuesday night King/Queen of the court! Thanks for playing and congrats to the winners!

I tried these new Diadem shoes for the first time last night. Wow! So far so good. I have a hard time finding comfy shoes and these were awesome! Thanks Diadem! I appreciate the support and the great new line of shoes!

Happy International Women’s Day!!! This past weekend Pickleball Cayman hosted the first ever all female “No Boys Allowed” tournament. To say it was a success would be an understatement. Over 54 women came together to battle it out in some serious heat and humidity, and had an absolute blast. Our own Jamison even won the dang thing, thanks to her wonderful partner Zsu Strommer-Telek. It was a great day, and an amazing way to honor all the incredible female athletes on the island. Can’t wait until the next one! Let’s f*%ing go, ladies!!!
