It Feels Right #74 - Gabe Tardio: The New Face of Men's Pickleball?

Welcome to Episode 74 of the It Feels Right pickleball podcast! In this episode, Adam Stone and Rob Nunnery talk about the fear of pickleball in the tennis community, and the other organizations that are embracing the sport. Plus, the growth of pickleball in India and other international locations, which can provide opportunities to travel and experience different cultures. But (as of 2024) many international tournaments lack paddle testing, which can create an unleveled playing field internationally. Rob and Adam also recap PPA Salt Lake City, including performances by Kate Fahey, Chao Yi Wang, and Layne Sleeth in Women's Singles, as well as Gabe Tardio's double gold win (in Mixed Doubles and Men's Doubles). Rob and Adam also go over some pickleball strategy, including recovery and shot execution, and how they are connected.
