@Pickleball @NicoTheLefty Not sure it’s good for the paddle industry to have one or two large companies setting standards and pricing, given Selkirk also owns the coaching body PCI, this is starting to feel like a focus on profit and monopoly over enhancing the game with new and better paddles.

If your goal is to become a 4.0, you need to get a new goal.

Think about it.

There is really nothing you have to do differently to get a 4.0 DUPR in pickleball other than play a couple more times a week or drill one or twice a month.

You're not actually changing anything about your life to reach this goal.

Here's how I think about it.

Let's say you want to lose weight. If your goal is to lose 10 pounds this year, you might eat a few less fried food meals and maybe go on a walk or two.

You're not changing, you're just inconveniencing yourself for something that's not really going to make a difference.

But now let's say you set a goal to lose 50 pounds.

Well you're probably going to change a lot. Start going to the gym or get on a diet; you are going to change your lifestyle.

Well the same is true in pickleball.

This goes for every single level. It doesn't matter if you are playing in pro draws or you just learned you can't fall into the kitchen after you hit the ball.

The point remains the same.

If your goal is to get a little bit better than yeah you might do it. You might luck into it.

But if you want real change, then you have to set a goal that inspires that change.

Now take a step back and ask yourself what your goals are, and this doesn't have to just be about pickleball.

Are you trying to lose 10 pounds or are you trying to lose 50?
