Goodbye ProXR

[@mathaddicts100]

Thanks for giving us The Bird on April Fools Day! Love the flapping. 6:43 Zane goes back to using his ProXR paddle and promotes it on his website.

[@MikeLupton1213]

"Whats this guys DUPR" Is probably the best compliment you can get during one of these👍🏻

[@ThirdOddity]

Almost forgot what day it is today 😜

[@PickleballWill]

That Bird paddle is 🔥

[@PancitysRDY]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@stspickleball]

Bro right

[@smokedoldfashion3199]

Did you mean the bird paddle is 💩?

[@DannyBPlays]

Lmao amazing April fools joke🤣🤣🤣

[@Fernaggio]

Dude...I've been waiting to see these Bird paddles in the hands of actual players. Fantastic. Thanks for that video. Confirmed what I thought. They're fine for rec players. But no way a pro would use that thing in a tournament.

[@evannatteford1784]

Honestly the biggest advantage that comes from these paddles is the shame and humiliation your opponents will feel when you start winning with them.

[@hruntingson]

I look forward to cheering “twee-twoo!” and “caw-caw!” On your upcoming matches! Let’s go Birbs!

[@peteherrera1502]

Try using the Gearbox elongated pro power pickleball paddle

[@cthnguyen3]

Where is the link to buy this bird paddle?

[@Guy_Washburn]

So accurate! Absolute awesomeness!

[@pablogalvz]

I thought of an idea for your Pros vs 5.0s… the one side has HUGE (1’) white lines effectively expanding the court. Line calls galore!

[@vonEgyptPickleballLeague]

Love these vids!

[@philmeyer2367]

April fools!

[@jimzimmerman5288]

I fell for it.

[@ronaldmasse3254]

And how do you change your grip???

[@sarahdaly516]

Great video! So funny 🤣

[@shaungroen]

Love these videos. Keep them coming! 😂

[@Thejoeb]

you may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

[@guittadabe5214]

When he pulled out the new paddle at :23, I realized what day it was! LOL!

[@56cdross]

The “Rub-bermaid cutting board pickleball paddle”. Fitting. No?

[@pmb123]

14:04 I think I like Nasty Neslon better

[@wadejensen6829]

OK, I knew it was a joke to leave ProXR at first but did not expect that kind of paddle for a replacement lol. Sorta "Demolition Man" style!

[@JasonDeats]

I feel like this might be an April Fool's Day joke. Can't be too sure.

[@jasonerskine8316]

Must be April Fool's. He's promoting the Bird thing but still wearing the Pro XR shirt. 🤣

[@andrewreichel5907]

Well played Zane

[@BucksCo937]

Well played indeed! He got me! I can't believe I fell for it. Damn you Zane!

[@shaunmcduffee4792]

Carlos’s game actually radically improved!!!!

[@chubun6631]

Isn't the first rule of doubles is piling on the weakest link? I thought that their plan when they chose to let Zane to switch to a normal paddle, but it looks like they couldn't resist the urge to challenge a pro. Anyway, they won 1K. Who am I to criticize their strategy.

[@shaunmcduffee4792]

The BIRD for the WIN!!!! I knew you would become a convert! 😂

[@JM-md4ux]

switch would make sense.. havent seen anyone else use a proxr

[@fire.pickleball]

🤣 best video in pickleball!!!

[@reallycalm]

I heard the shots hit harder when you shout CAW CAW with each contact

[@damiencoffey2391]

I was like what the hell! Zane, you got me! haha

[@cjudo]

i watched this half asleep and thought you were serious 😅

[@FPVenius]

Lol I love the hacksaw grip

[@amit212543]

Zane give us a 3v2. The latest Wright/Iggy match the ppa posted inspired the idea.

[@PickleyDave]

Thank god it was April Fools. My immediate reaction with seeing The Bird was “what the fuc*0

[@spaznickermeyer3507]

I watched this for 6 minutes thinking it was real, and that the world didn't make sense anymore

[@galaxymosaic8357]

It took 2 days to realize this must be a joke. My first question was is that paddle usapa approved? Theñ my next question was why does the design remind me of my kitchen cutting board? Jeez i must be naive

[@ScottT109]

Jump to 16:35 for the whooping 😂

[@peteherrera1502]

Don' t mistake luck for being a goat. I cannot believe That Zane signed with them to play with that paddle

[@Bavsargra17]

Hao the goat

[@jonathannyquist582]

You should have stayed with the soft game. See if those two could handle the bird droppings.

[@galaxymosaic8357]

Hahahaha

[@brant8822]

the fact that the Falcon Elite is an actual product is baffling 🤨

[@larhaveman6205]

Birds the word!

[@shipwreck8847]

Zane using this ridiculous paddle is basically his April Fools joke. Try using that in a PPA tournament Zane. See how far that gets you.

[@jackstein5486]

I doubt that you would really take on this new paddle as it really looked awkward and trying to unlearn all the natural reactions that you regularly perform in match play. It looked super difficult to serve and hit aggressive ground strokes. It was an April fools joke, right?

[@HardDriver3950]

ProXR watching this like 👁️👄👁️

[@ericgould4302]

America have you heard,? I've got a brand new paddle and its called the BIrd. You don't need no finesse or no personality, You just need two arms and an attitude, and Everybody dink with me, come on now Zane! Hallaluja, Whoa -- With deference to (and I pledge allegiance to) the Time! Squawk do The Bird

[@firedog1003]

Good one Z...🙄

[@fireman4him275]

As I’m watching this, I have to believe we will be told April Fool’s at the end of the video. There’s no way these bird paddles will become popular.

[@Vanessa-pe2xs]

Did Zane lose on purpose just so we all don't run out and buy the Eagle?

[@berimboplata]

Usual pros vs 5.0s handicaps - larger NVZ, hands tied together...or using Bird paddles lol. 1/2 through the match - Zane: two Birds = too much handicap, give us 1 paddle back 🤣

[@jimzimmerman5288]

Sorry, my grip would break down. Have to squeeze it right a lot. I'm not sold.

[@BlGSac]

Carlos is the next Matt Wright

[@darkslidebs]

You had me until you pulled that thing out lmao

[@boxhawk5070]

You had me until you showed the new paddle.

[@kimleith1378]

Ha Ha. Good one Zane

[@ChrisPickleballAnderson]

As he has a ProXR shirt on lol

[@zeruth467]

April fools, lemme guess lol

[@anonincorp]

I don’t think anyone is buying that bird paddle now 😂

[@joem6010]

Had me for just 1 sec and then I remembered the date... April Fools!!!!

[@wolf-xf6hf]

Shit im gullible

[@kevincook6341]

Hilarious!

[@knightgold1000]

😂😂😂

[@josephh2796]

April fools getting kicked off early I suppose

[@bobrosenbaum1634]

zane just ordered your paddle from xrpro..wth buddy ...prob wont play with and sell it and make a fortune...ya think

[@gabrieltorres5225]

Hahahaha😂

[@dsbro1182]

April fools lets go

[@Fernaggio]

LMAO

[@ivalani]

😂😂😂

[@holg3070]

LOL

[@HHHPedigrees]

Zane's paddles are overrated and overpriced

[@jbmedia8882]

April Fool’s??😂😂

[@NN-oz6rr]

Gearbox is superior

[@Mr.Martini549]

Zane, did you raid all the money from the Stop Alzheimer's Now swear jar to pay those guys? 🤣😆

[@gleeclub_99]

nice joke for 4/1

[@fernandozfrancisco6190]

A trans paddle?

[@smokedoldfashion3199]

Great April fools joke. But seriously, that is the absolute worst paddle ever invited. I would rather use a 2x4 😂
