    Why Pickleball Needs Stricter Rules NOW (Uspenski Suspension)
    Oct 24 2025

    Things got heated in pro pickleball this week.

    Barrett and Danea break down one of the most bizarre scandals yet — PPA Challenger player Dennis Uspenski caught blatantly cheating, threatening other players, and doubling down online 😳

    In this episode:

    - Why Uspenski’s 90-day suspension might be way too soft

    - What his viral apology got wrong

    - How this controversy impacts the sport’s reputation

    - A breakdown of Lea Jansen vs. Sam Parker’s controversial ball interference at Virginia Beach

    - Why PPA’s venue and ref issues are becoming a real problem

    Pickleball’s growing fast — but can it stay professional?

    👇 Drop your thoughts:

    - Do you think Uspenski’s punishment was fair or too lenient?

    - And have you ever had a rally interrupted by a rogue ball?

    Banned Paddles at Rec? Here’s How We’d Handle It
    Oct 9 2025

    In today’s episode of the Pickleball Connection Podcast, we hit three hot topics:

    • Rec-Play Drama: What do you do when someone shows up with a clearly out-of-spec or delaminated paddle? Where we draw the line (and a funny racquetball racket story).
    • Vintage Open Takeaways: Pros played with identical wooden paddles—who popped, who struggled, and what this says about modern styles vs. gear.
    • Malaysia Conditions: Heat, humidity, slow ball… and surprising results. How climate and ball choice can flip matchups—and which players benefit.

    👇 Drop your take:

    • Would you call out an illegal paddle in rec?
    • Which player would improve most if everyone used the same paddle?
    • Are you better in crisp altitude air or Florida soup?
