Welcome to Episode 26 of The Pickleball Connection Podcast! In this episode, Barrett and Danea Bass talk about the kicking incident that led to a video that has gone viral. What do you do if your opponent (or partner) is highly emotional, negative, or violent? Plus, why control and finesse is so much more important than power in pickleball and why players should focus on high percentage shots rather than risky plays. They also focus on other pickleball strategies to improve your game, including the split step, why letting out balls go can enhance overall performance, and player dynamics.
