Are the PPA/MLP For Sale? Are We Ruining Pickleball? | This Pickleball Life (Ep. 39)
This is the most loaded podcast we’ve done in a LONG time—we’ll give you all the juicy drama around the JOOLA Gen 3 paddles failing at Los Cab and what those paddles, and other power paddles, mean for our sport— and how we think that the UPA-the newly formed umbrella company for MLP and PPA—is actually for sale and we reveal who the prospective buyer could be—lastly, we have an update on quite a few older and very important podcast topics, like the sexual harassment lawsuit against USAP and Donn Paben, as well as an update on the Player Collective and where players stand and how they are being treated right now.
Parris Todd did win two bronze medals at US Open last week

Customer Reviews
Highlight of my week!
I get so exited every time a new episode drops!! Not sure if it is solely from the content as the intro song is AMAZING!! Please keep them coming!!
Best PB podcast
As a student of the game, I am addicted to PB podcasts and have 11 in my library. This is my favorite by far! They check all the boxes and there is so much to learn from each episode. Seriously, I take notes! I strive to improve my game and Jilly B is a great teacher with instructional knowledge and experience. As a bonus they are quirkily hilarious! Love love love!
Don’t have to be rude to be funny
Why do white people feel like it’s ok to do Asian accents? I thought this was a decent pod until I heard this past episode. I’m out. Don’t need this kind of stuff in my pickleball life.
