OM DENNE EPISODE
Does size matter in pickleball? It's complicated. In this episode, Brodie sits down with CRBN sponsored pro Andrei Daescu—one of the most athletic and dynamic players on tour—to explore how physical attributes shape the way you play and compete. Andrei shares his journey from tennis to pickleball in 2017, why size can be an early-point advantage but a liability in extended rallies, and how he's adapted his game to compete at the highest level. They get into the evolution of paddles, why developing real weapons is non-negotiable in modern pickleball, and how ping pong can actually sharpen your fast-hand exchanges on the court. Andrei also opens up about his physical preparation—dynamic stretching, hydration, staying loose—and what it takes mentally to compete in the fast-paced world of MLP. Plus, team chemistry, paddle selection, and a few laughs along the way.
