Welcome back to the PB 5.0 Pickleball Show. It's Episode 007 ... Bond style.
Just returned from visiting special family members -- granddaughters in Austin, Texas; Shelbyville, Kentucky.
I had wonderful times playing at the recreation center in Cedar Park (north Austin) and the Tom Sawyer State Park gym/rec center in Louisville, KY. Met some really good people in both locales.
In this episode I discuss a widely debated topic both on and off the court, IN or OUT -- line calls. I watched a video produced by The Pickleball Channel that "opened my eyes" with regard on making the correct call.
And honestly, I believe way too many calls we make with regard to close ones, those that land NEAR the line whether in or out, are called wrong. Especially if one has lots of tennis playing experience.
When in doubt, it's in! For the sake of the spirit of the game and social play.
And I have a surprise guest that dropped in live to the show, Alexa! Don't miss what she has to say about Pickleball. Who is she? Listen and find out. My guess is most of you know her!
