Thanks for tuning back into The Pickleball Clinic newsletter!

Pickleball is headed to the video game world, how to hit a two-handed backhand, and so much more.

Let’s dive in 👇

This is how you know pickleball is growing at a rapid pace…

GameMill Entertainment announced that they’re releasing a pickleball video game on November 7th.

Here’s what you’ll be able to do:

customize your player
compete in tournaments
play with up to 4 friends
practice with minigames

And surprisingly, this isn’t the first pickleball video game. Last year, we saw a virtual reality game launched called Playing Pickleball.

What’s next in pickleball? A court on the moon?

Here’s what the No. 1 player in the world had to say about pickleball video games ⤵

A weekly thought from pickleball’s GOAT Ben Johns 🐐

“I got the news this week about there being a pickleball video game coming soon by Nintendo. This is the latest in pickleball news that hits a funny chord for me, as I grew up playing Nintendo games (throwback to Mario Power Tennis on GameCube). It’s interesting to see pickleball become increasingly mainstream, with signals like this showing it’s being adopted by the masses.

I am always excited for the next development in pickleball like this as it’s usually unexpected and often funny to me in some way. What I always come back to is how lucky we all are to experience pickleball in this time of its evolution, as it is without a doubt a unique experience to be involved with a sport in its beginnings and one that is growing this quickly.

Any guesses on the next development in pickleball? I’m going to go with pickleball outfits being a trend at Halloween ;)

Until next time (and until the next big news),
- Ben”

Great players make you feel uncomfortable.

How many times have you lost a game 11-2 in 10 mins, but felt like your opponents weren’t much better than you?

The reason for this is likely that they found a way to make you uncomfortable.

Your skill set doesn’t always need to be much better to blow someone off the court. Oftentimes playing smart and targeting weaknesses is enough.

This has happened to all of us at least once (and it’s a terrible feeling):

The WORST feeling in pickleball…

We’ve all been here 😂
