Great Interview @Building Pickleball. Love watching all of your interviews and how you allow us to see some of the innerworkings of pro pickleball and the pickleball business world!

[@buildingpickleball]

Thanks for watching 🙂

Amazing interview, I love your overall intentionality and authenticity with the channel. This video felt like a movie, it gives us a peek into how much Connor and the PPA are doing for the game of Pickleball!

Awesome video! Good to hear from the man himself!

I'm old, my back hurts and the game is getting faster but Connor is the one person who makes me consider quitting pickleball. His vision of changing the basic Rules and his bizarre choice to put big paddle manufacturers on the paddle advisory board just seems to bode poorly for the future of the game. Apparently I am not alone (see the Selkirk letter) Having two bodies setting Rules will eventually confuse and irritate the recreational player and it is the rec player that fuels the business side of the game.

really great interview. well done. Now we know UPAA and USAP paddles will be legal. no more whining or wondering..well , im sure there will still be whining.

[@billkennedy401]

Not necessarily - according to a different interview, that changes in 2026

[@pishimwe]

Glad to hear the man himself such an inspiration to new bee in pickleball

[@TAILWAG1974]

Great interview. Question…will SENIOR PRO players have to use a UPA-A certified paddle or will a USAP approved paddle will do?

[@86309]

Pickleball TV is crushing it right now. Dave Flemming and crew. But I know what's coming....going to have to start paying to watch it. Events will be split between different carriers , different events , etc...like the train wreck ESPN has become. thats my concern on the TV side.

Good score Brian. Connor has a tough position trying please the masses. So glad that Close Call Replay got the green light.Too bad the Vegas tournament had so many court issues. Just need to get investors to build huge pickleball specific indoor venues for tournaments. Respect the amatuers. They pay a lot of the bills. Challenger tour is a great idea.

Well if you don’t wanna go back to pushing and dinking then why tf wound you wanna decrease power and spin. Those are the only things evolving the sport and attracting high Calibur athletes.
