More About John
Pickleball has been a huge part of my life since 2019, but I try hard to keep my priorities right, God, family, then pickleball. Pickleball started as a hobby but is now a passion that I love to share. I live in rural Tennessee so finding a paddle in 2019 was very limited, I decided to carry a few to sell to friends and family, to help the game grow in my area. Now I have thousands of paddles at our distribution center and ship out paddles every day all around America. I am always looking for the best paddles to share with my customers. Pickleball technology is always changing, and I love the science of what makes a paddle better. I now have great opportunity to work with the best brands and even give feedback on some of their prototypes. It definitely brings a smile to my face when I am able to help shape the future of pickleball.
