A Gold Medal Podcast plus A New Replay System w/ Christian Alshon, Tyra Black, Parris Todd, and Jason Aspes

Zane Navratil and Thomas Shields talk to Christian Alshon, Tyra Black, and Paris Todd about their most recent gold medal wins at the PPA Texas Open, Ben Johns’ calling out of yelling during matches, their goals for the coming year, and much more.  Christian Alshon is one of the fastest-rising stars in the world of Pickleball. His gold medal win at the PPA CIBC Texas Open was his second in a row. Overall he has 12 PPA medals and is ranked 9th in men’s doubles and 8th in men’s singles as of this recording. This was Tyra Black and Paris Todd’s first doubles gold together. After a tough semi-finals match against The Girlies, they took care of business in the finals and won the tournament. On their way to the finals, they did not lose a game. Finally, Zane and Thomas talk to Jason Apses about the new SpotON Review System that was used on the championship court at the Texas Open. Jason explains why it was used, how it works, and the overall goals for its use moving forward.  Pickleballs take 100 years to breakdown in a landfill. This new BioBall™ only takes 5 years, it lasts 5x longer on the court than anything else, and we all loved it in our play tests. Save 10% with code THEDINK https://komodopickleball.com/products...
