TRANSCRIPT 🔗
1
00:00:01,068 --> 00:00:04,390
Well, hey everyone, Patrick Batty, Pickleball Today.
2
00:00:04,390 --> 00:00:07,002
I am flying solo today.
3
00:00:07,002 --> 00:00:08,853
Mark is on vacation this week.
4
00:00:08,853 --> 00:00:10,704
He's in New York having a lot of fun.
5
00:00:10,704 --> 00:00:12,786
I've seen some of his pictures and things.
6
00:00:12,786 --> 00:00:14,427
Looks like a nice trip.
7
00:00:14,427 --> 00:00:16,278
But anyway, I'm flying solo today.
8
00:00:16,278 --> 00:00:25,854
This will not be a long episode, but I do have Mark pre -recorded for a really good, some
training coming up.
9
00:00:26,198 --> 00:00:31,800
We're also going to talk a little bit about some of paddle giveaways, which have been very
successful.
10
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:33,350
We're running another one right now.
11
00:00:33,350 --> 00:00:37,021
You're welcome to log in and or enter it.
12
00:00:37,021 --> 00:00:40,082
Pickleballtoday .co slash win.
13
00:00:40,082 --> 00:00:42,463
Now that's taken an email address.
14
00:00:42,903 --> 00:00:46,504
What happens is that goes into our email distribution list.
15
00:00:46,504 --> 00:00:51,736
However, if you enter multiple times, that email doesn't go in multiple times.
16
00:00:51,736 --> 00:00:53,240
So you don't have to worry about it.
17
00:00:53,240 --> 00:01:03,659
However, by going there and entering and then confirming your email, you have to check
your email and click on a link there in it, it'll give you more opportunities to win
18
00:01:03,659 --> 00:01:05,100
pedals.
19
00:01:05,100 --> 00:01:08,523
basically, it's a win -win.
20
00:01:10,165 --> 00:01:17,331
The other opportunities are things like sharing our videos, subscribing, commenting, all
kinds of stuff like that.
21
00:01:17,331 --> 00:01:21,864
Basically, things that are helping us get more exposure.
22
00:01:22,414 --> 00:01:24,314
So what are we talking about today?
23
00:01:24,454 --> 00:01:27,094
Have you ever heard of a dink and drink?
24
00:01:27,594 --> 00:01:29,454
I had not.
25
00:01:30,634 --> 00:01:33,394
We're going to talk a little bit about a dink and drink.
26
00:01:33,834 --> 00:01:37,774
We got some paddles in from a company 11624.
27
00:01:37,774 --> 00:01:39,184
Just going to show them briefly.
28
00:01:39,184 --> 00:01:43,544
I'm not doing a review here today, but we will be doing some review videos.
29
00:01:43,544 --> 00:01:47,034
But I'll kind of just tell you what the highlights of each one are.
30
00:01:48,354 --> 00:01:50,054
We're talking PPA tour.
31
00:01:50,054 --> 00:01:51,408
We're talking.
32
00:01:51,722 --> 00:01:54,623
and a bit of controversy that's come onto that.
33
00:01:54,623 --> 00:01:58,445
We're talking the CNPL Tour, Canadian National Pickleball League.
34
00:01:58,445 --> 00:02:06,068
I know we have lot of American viewers, so you may not be familiar with that.
35
00:02:06,068 --> 00:02:09,549
That's our league in Canada, like similar to MLP.
36
00:02:09,549 --> 00:02:13,251
They wrapped up their regular season the other day heading into the playoffs.
37
00:02:13,251 --> 00:02:18,053
So we have two teams that are going to have buys going through to the playoffs.
38
00:02:18,053 --> 00:02:21,772
we'll just mention that briefly as well.
39
00:02:21,772 --> 00:02:23,625
So let's get things kicked off.
40
00:02:26,574 --> 00:02:28,454
Okay, welcome back everyone.
41
00:02:28,454 --> 00:02:29,974
So, Pat Baty Pickleball today.
42
00:02:29,974 --> 00:02:31,814
Thanks for joining us this week.
43
00:02:31,814 --> 00:02:36,314
This will be about a 25 minute video tops and I guarantee it.
44
00:02:36,314 --> 00:02:37,844
Normally I do go a little long.
45
00:02:37,844 --> 00:02:39,534
This one will not.
46
00:02:39,874 --> 00:02:43,114
I'm actually headed out of town later this afternoon.
47
00:02:43,114 --> 00:02:48,794
So I'm rushing through this a little bit just for the day, but I will be out until later
this evening.
48
00:02:48,794 --> 00:02:50,174
Wanted to get this up.
49
00:02:50,174 --> 00:02:52,234
I'm a little late this week.
50
00:02:53,474 --> 00:02:56,334
I'm still recovering from my injury.
51
00:02:56,334 --> 00:03:01,316
I, it wasn't sustained playing pickleball, but it very much affects me playing pickleball.
52
00:03:01,316 --> 00:03:02,707
It's a groin injury.
53
00:03:02,707 --> 00:03:06,418
so your sideways movement, really can hurt.
54
00:03:06,418 --> 00:03:19,184
So I've gone through, I had a medical appointment with a friend who is also a pickleball
player and we've played together a few times, a number of times, and he's also a sports
55
00:03:19,184 --> 00:03:19,604
doctor.
56
00:03:19,604 --> 00:03:22,905
So I had my point with him and then onto physio.
57
00:03:22,905 --> 00:03:24,866
And I am going through my.
58
00:03:25,090 --> 00:03:32,573
I've had my physio review, assessment, and now I have some things I have to do and a
couple more physio things.
59
00:03:32,573 --> 00:03:43,778
So I'm come on, but it's slow, a groin injury where basically can be a haul, four to six
weeks in total.
60
00:03:43,778 --> 00:03:45,729
So there'd be no pickle ball for me.
61
00:03:45,729 --> 00:03:49,361
I get at least for two or three more, maybe a bit more.
62
00:03:49,361 --> 00:03:52,172
That's hurting my ability.
63
00:03:52,770 --> 00:03:57,971
to do play videos on our reviews, but we're to do some reviews without it.
64
00:03:57,971 --> 00:04:02,073
Kind of synopsis of everything about the paddles and things like that.
65
00:04:02,073 --> 00:04:03,473
Not in this video today.
66
00:04:03,473 --> 00:04:05,814
Today, just a regular podcast.
67
00:04:05,814 --> 00:04:08,934
So what's a dink and drink?
68
00:04:09,135 --> 00:04:12,715
I hadn't heard of it before, but it sounds like fun.
69
00:04:12,816 --> 00:04:14,836
And it's up.
70
00:04:14,836 --> 00:04:16,136
It's a tournament.
71
00:04:16,177 --> 00:04:18,077
And a lot of people have
Load full transcript
them.
72
00:04:18,617 --> 00:04:20,338
Popular in the US.
73
00:04:21,390 --> 00:04:31,160
And one of our friends here, she's from California originally, her and her husband have
just built a court in their backyard and they're having us over.
74
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:36,690
They're having actually 30 people this weekend and we're having a little tournament and
we're having cocktails.
75
00:04:36,690 --> 00:04:38,450
We're having some food and things like that.
76
00:04:38,450 --> 00:04:42,390
And it's just basically an excuse to have a lot of people have a lot of fun.
77
00:04:42,390 --> 00:04:44,050
And so that's what we're doing.
78
00:04:44,050 --> 00:04:49,730
I can't play, but I've been asked to be the, the announcer for the weekend.
79
00:04:49,730 --> 00:04:59,453
So that'll be fun for me, because I would have gone over just to socialize a little bit,
but to have something to do that is helpful makes me feel good.
80
00:04:59,913 --> 00:05:01,003
I'm really looking forward to it.
81
00:05:01,003 --> 00:05:06,875
A lot of nice people will be at this, including my doctor that I just met was at the other
day.
82
00:05:06,875 --> 00:05:09,215
So we'll have fun this weekend.
83
00:05:09,756 --> 00:05:11,736
Anyway, that's it, the dink and drink.
84
00:05:11,736 --> 00:05:16,198
And we'll try not to drink too much, because I'll be announcing all day long.
85
00:05:16,198 --> 00:05:18,188
So it should be fun.
86
00:05:18,528 --> 00:05:22,540
Now, PPA Tour, let me just bring up my notes here.
87
00:05:22,540 --> 00:05:25,982
PPA Tour went on this weekend.
88
00:05:26,481 --> 00:05:28,964
first I'll announce our paddle giveaways.
89
00:05:28,964 --> 00:05:31,665
Paddle giveaways that we do regularly.
90
00:05:31,665 --> 00:05:33,336
We've sent one out last week.
91
00:05:33,336 --> 00:05:37,648
We'll send another one out at the end of this week or early next week.
92
00:05:38,649 --> 00:05:41,010
Giveaways are going on all the time on our website.
93
00:05:41,010 --> 00:05:46,934
Go to Pickleballtoday .co .win and enter there.
94
00:05:46,934 --> 00:05:47,850
Again,
95
00:05:47,850 --> 00:05:51,411
If you've entered before, don't worry about putting your email address in again.
96
00:05:51,411 --> 00:05:58,103
That will just give you the ability to do all the other tasks to get more opportunities.
97
00:05:58,103 --> 00:06:00,834
So the more entries you have, the better.
98
00:06:00,834 --> 00:06:05,755
And we appreciate your going through there to do it.
99
00:06:06,415 --> 00:06:09,056
Anyway, PPA Tour, let's talk about it.
100
00:06:09,056 --> 00:06:16,118
Well, we're all familiar with Ben Johns and Anna Leigh Waters winning mixed doubles, and
they did again.
101
00:06:16,226 --> 00:06:20,708
That's pretty normal when they are both there together and playing.
102
00:06:21,288 --> 00:06:29,411
Ben's not been playing so well in Major League Pickleball, but he continues to do well
enough in PPA.
103
00:06:31,132 --> 00:06:34,774
this week he won singles as well, the men's singles.
104
00:06:34,774 --> 00:06:36,484
So that's a change for him.
105
00:06:36,484 --> 00:06:39,455
He'd been losing a little bit more in singles recently.
106
00:06:41,377 --> 00:06:45,420
But he did lose in doubles with Colin.
107
00:06:45,420 --> 00:06:47,521
So they've struggled a little bit this year.
108
00:06:47,521 --> 00:06:57,236
And you know, the whole thing has been a little up and down with the exception of mixed
doubles for them with Ben and Anna Lee.
109
00:06:57,517 --> 00:07:00,198
But everything else has been a little bit more eventful.
110
00:07:00,198 --> 00:07:02,239
But anyway, Ben won singles this weekend.
111
00:07:02,239 --> 00:07:04,481
Women's singles was Brooke Buckner.
112
00:07:04,481 --> 00:07:07,542
Now Brooke had a solid, solid tournament.
113
00:07:07,542 --> 00:07:14,894
She is playing with a paddle well, kind of like Ben's, a very hot Joola paddle that is
legal for the PPA Tour.
114
00:07:14,894 --> 00:07:17,134
not legal for normal play.
115
00:07:17,934 --> 00:07:20,574
some of the other players a little complaining about it.
116
00:07:20,574 --> 00:07:26,474
There was some double pickles, people playing against players with them.
117
00:07:26,474 --> 00:07:28,974
There's been domination as Brooke did.
118
00:07:28,974 --> 00:07:33,294
She had some games 11 -1, 11 -2, something like that.
119
00:07:33,654 --> 00:07:44,026
Basically anybody playing with this Joola Gen paddle or whatever it's called now, it is
effectively the Gen 3 banned paddle.
120
00:07:44,046 --> 00:07:45,187
It's exactly the same.
121
00:07:45,187 --> 00:07:55,736
It's just legal for the UPA, which is the PPA, but it's not legal for USAPA, which is the
tournaments, you know, we all go into.
122
00:07:55,777 --> 00:08:04,174
So they got their pedal out that way, but nobody else has yet, or it has a hot gen three
type paddle available.
123
00:08:04,174 --> 00:08:08,298
So the other players are getting a little kind of upset with it.
124
00:08:08,298 --> 00:08:11,060
In some cases, there were some videos put out.
125
00:08:11,502 --> 00:08:15,986
Certainly the other paddle companies have to do catch up if they want to win tournaments.
126
00:08:17,908 --> 00:08:24,714
you know, I know for instance, Selkirk's coming out with some new paddles or they just did
this week.
127
00:08:24,714 --> 00:08:27,976
We'll have three of theirs coming in in the next little while.
128
00:08:28,297 --> 00:08:31,880
But they are not high end paddles.
129
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,801
some of the pros may use them.
130
00:08:33,801 --> 00:08:39,125
But they're going to need something to compete with the new hot Joolas That's for sure.
131
00:08:41,942 --> 00:08:46,329
Six zero will probably come out with something like that.
132
00:08:46,329 --> 00:08:47,511
They're on the panel committee.
133
00:08:47,511 --> 00:08:51,357
They're turned into a, you know, one of the
leading companies now.
134
00:08:51,357 --> 00:08:55,121
When I started supporting them, they were totally unknown in Canada.
135
00:08:55,322 --> 00:08:57,413
And they've done very, very well.
136
00:08:57,413 --> 00:09:03,084
In fact, I still love associating with them because they create great product.
137
00:09:03,084 --> 00:09:07,205
But anyway, the other companies are going to have to get their act together if they're
going to compete.
138
00:09:07,666 --> 00:09:12,787
Other winners on the weekend were in men's doubles, Christian Alshon and Duong Duong.
139
00:09:12,787 --> 00:09:16,008
Duong is a hard hitting singles player.
140
00:09:16,528 --> 00:09:21,309
And this is his first doubles win with Christian Alshon.
141
00:09:21,309 --> 00:09:23,670
Christian Alshon also a big, tall.
142
00:09:23,832 --> 00:09:36,736
Hard hitter and again a great singles player as well, but they did beat they won men's
doubles against Ben and Colin Johns Let's see Anna Lee and Catherine Parenteau won in in
143
00:09:36,736 --> 00:09:46,188
women's doubles and That's pretty much it for PPA so a Little controversy with this Yula
paddle.
144
00:09:46,188 --> 00:09:47,409
I'm not criticizing it.
145
00:09:47,409 --> 00:09:52,830
I don't have one I've never played well, I've only tried one once and I wish I could get
one
146
00:09:52,878 --> 00:09:56,538
to do it, I don't want to spend $300 just to try a paddle.
147
00:09:56,538 --> 00:10:00,498
So if I get a chance to play with one, I will do so.
148
00:10:00,778 --> 00:10:03,438
Let's see, new paddles here.
149
00:10:03,438 --> 00:10:11,958
Let me just take a switch over and show you some paddles that came in this week and really
explain them quite quickly, because it's not a review.
150
00:10:12,598 --> 00:10:18,458
If you can see this, and let me just double check where the video is OK.
151
00:10:18,598 --> 00:10:22,222
These are three paddles, all the exact same shape.
152
00:10:22,574 --> 00:10:25,924
from the company as you can see 11 -6 -24.
153
00:10:25,924 --> 00:10:27,454
Have I got it right?
154
00:10:31,406 --> 00:10:39,986
11 -6 -24 and sorry my phone rang while I'm recording here and let's see
155
00:10:41,742 --> 00:10:43,182
There we go.
156
00:10:43,262 --> 00:10:45,462
Three pedals from 11624.
157
00:10:45,462 --> 00:10:50,426
These are all identical shape and the shape is called the Monarch series.
158
00:10:52,750 --> 00:10:54,260
I don't know if that's showing up right.
159
00:10:54,260 --> 00:10:55,630
I think it will.
160
00:10:55,630 --> 00:11:00,450
The Monarch series, this is the shape of paddle from the company.
161
00:11:00,470 --> 00:11:02,590
11624 is the company.
162
00:11:02,590 --> 00:11:09,850
And then the three paddle model names are the Control, the Jelly Bean, and the All Court.
163
00:11:10,770 --> 00:11:19,310
And effectively, and I'm just going to set a couple down right now, what they are is the
three different models or the three...
164
00:11:19,820 --> 00:11:23,132
the three different paddles of the Monarch line.
165
00:11:23,472 --> 00:11:26,624
The All Court is an interesting, interesting paddle.
166
00:11:26,624 --> 00:11:32,477
It's a combination of fiberglass and carbon fiber with multiple layers of each.
167
00:11:32,477 --> 00:11:34,998
Carbon fiber with multiple layers of each.
168
00:11:34,998 --> 00:11:40,741
The exterior being a very, very gritty and grippy carbon fiber.
169
00:11:41,342 --> 00:11:46,905
But this thing is going to have some pop because fiberglass paddles tend to have a lot of
pop.
170
00:11:49,122 --> 00:11:57,289
First of all, the very basic of these, all three of these paddles is they're a wide body
paddle, a very nice wide body paddle.
171
00:11:57,289 --> 00:12:04,915
I'm not putting specs up today, that'll be in the review videos, but a wide body paddle
with a longer handle.
172
00:12:05,174 --> 00:12:16,404
And like a definitely, I can get full two hands on this handle, my hands would be a
medium, medium size hand, which the longer handle, not only good for a two hand backhand,
173
00:12:16,404 --> 00:12:18,542
but it would give the paddle a little bit more
174
00:12:18,542 --> 00:12:24,047
power, you being the end of the pedal is slightly further away.
175
00:12:24,047 --> 00:12:26,508
So it'll flick a little bit faster.
176
00:12:27,049 --> 00:12:35,796
The three different pedals I mentioned, the All -Core, that's this combination of
fiberglass, carbon fiber, and it's a thermo -formed pedal.
177
00:12:36,477 --> 00:12:38,489
This one is the Control.
178
00:12:38,489 --> 00:12:39,790
This is a Kevlar pedal.
179
00:12:39,790 --> 00:12:43,383
I don't know if it'll show up, but it's blue Kevlar.
180
00:12:43,383 --> 00:12:46,315
By the way, I'm recording from a laptop today.
181
00:12:46,670 --> 00:12:48,890
having some problem on the desktop.
182
00:12:48,890 --> 00:12:51,430
So it's why things look a little different.
183
00:12:51,690 --> 00:12:53,040
There's a blue Kevlar paddle.
184
00:12:53,040 --> 00:13:04,530
That'll be a little bit more forgiving, a little less, a little less poppy, but some, but
a bit more forgiving paddle.
185
00:13:04,530 --> 00:13:10,350
And these are both in the $129, $139 range US, less discounts.
186
00:13:11,342 --> 00:13:13,292
Or it might be 139, 149.
187
00:13:13,292 --> 00:13:15,102
I can't remember off the top of my head.
188
00:13:15,102 --> 00:13:17,062
And then this one's called the Jelly Bean.
189
00:13:17,062 --> 00:13:19,322
And all three of these, by the way, are popular.
190
00:13:19,322 --> 00:13:21,982
There's some other good reviews out there.
191
00:13:22,422 --> 00:13:24,802
This one is the Jelly Bean.
192
00:13:24,802 --> 00:13:29,622
What's different about the Jelly Bean, first of all, it is still same shape.
193
00:13:29,622 --> 00:13:33,502
So lot longer handle, wide body paddle.
194
00:13:33,502 --> 00:13:38,462
wide body paddle is going to be easier for us
lower level players.
195
00:13:40,398 --> 00:13:51,668
And but with the longer handle than, for instance, we had the one up the other week, a
couple weeks back, the 60 Quartz.
196
00:13:51,668 --> 00:13:57,858
That was a bit of a shorter handle model, similar width possibly, or approximately.
197
00:13:57,858 --> 00:14:00,858
But this one is a very affordable paddle as well.
198
00:14:00,858 --> 00:14:02,098
It's $99.
199
00:14:02,158 --> 00:14:07,086
And then with our discount code, PB Today is our discount code.
200
00:14:07,086 --> 00:14:09,186
It'll take it down to 89.
201
00:14:09,186 --> 00:14:11,206
So a 10 % discount.
202
00:14:11,746 --> 00:14:14,526
And that discount is on all of the pedals.
203
00:14:14,526 --> 00:14:16,466
So it's three different materials.
204
00:14:16,466 --> 00:14:18,806
That is a non -thermoformed pedal.
205
00:14:18,806 --> 00:14:22,206
But again, a very solid, good value.
206
00:14:22,206 --> 00:14:25,586
In the reviews of this pedal, people are loving it.
207
00:14:25,586 --> 00:14:28,506
So I'm looking forward to playing with these.
208
00:14:28,686 --> 00:14:36,786
The one I think I will end up gravitating towards, if I can handle it, the power with it
is this All -Court.
209
00:14:36,942 --> 00:14:38,522
but we'll see.
210
00:14:38,522 --> 00:14:48,302
And again, if you want one of these paddles, we'll be giving some of these away gradually
in our paddle giveaways, but we're all giving away these pro level paddles at different
211
00:14:48,302 --> 00:14:49,122
times.
212
00:14:49,122 --> 00:14:52,302
Just go to pickleballtoday .co slash win.
213
00:14:52,302 --> 00:15:01,382
And again, if you want to buy one of these paddles, pickleballtoday .co slash 11624.
214
00:15:01,382 --> 00:15:04,062
And we'll put links to this in the show notes.
215
00:15:04,222 --> 00:15:05,518
Or go to...
216
00:15:05,518 --> 00:15:14,418
11 .624 website and put in code Pickleball PB today, pardon me, PB today is our code.
217
00:15:14,538 --> 00:15:22,798
So those panels looking forward to it, we'll do lengthier videos on them and we'll record
those in the near future.
218
00:15:22,798 --> 00:15:25,358
Let's see what else I have on schedule.
219
00:15:25,358 --> 00:15:27,958
I'm going to turn it over to Mark and myself.
220
00:15:27,958 --> 00:15:35,086
We pre -recorded a lesson and we're just going to switch over to that right.
221
00:15:35,086 --> 00:15:35,945
Now.
222
00:15:42,870 --> 00:15:44,051
Okay, Mark, thanks a lot.
223
00:15:44,051 --> 00:15:44,962
I do appreciate it.
224
00:15:44,962 --> 00:15:46,333
Love the training.
225
00:15:46,393 --> 00:15:49,075
That was really, I mean, I enjoyed that.
226
00:15:49,436 --> 00:15:51,897
lot of good points coming out as always.
227
00:15:51,898 --> 00:16:00,325
And, you know, just find even though we're not up demoing our training often, you can
articulate your points so well.
228
00:16:00,526 --> 00:16:02,977
I just think it's still, it's been popular.
229
00:16:02,977 --> 00:16:04,149
It's really popular.
230
00:16:04,149 --> 00:16:06,400
And that one, I liked that lesson a lot.
231
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:10,514
So, another minor.
232
00:16:10,602 --> 00:16:16,424
update, not a big update, but the CNPL Pro Tour.
233
00:16:16,424 --> 00:16:23,907
CNPL is the Canadian National Pickleball League because now we're finding two -thirds of
our viewers are in the U .S.
234
00:16:23,907 --> 00:16:25,308
You may not know about it.
235
00:16:25,308 --> 00:16:35,912
CNPL has run, started last year and the league went through the year and the champions
crowned.
236
00:16:35,932 --> 00:16:38,443
It is a comparable league to Major League Pickleball.
237
00:16:38,443 --> 00:16:40,386
It's a team -based competition.
238
00:16:40,386 --> 00:16:46,809
with a bunch of teams from across the country, players from across the country get
drafted, similar to Major League Pickleball.
239
00:16:46,810 --> 00:16:56,805
In this case, the regular season just wrapped up on Sunday, and two teams go through from
the regular season directly into the final day.
240
00:16:56,805 --> 00:17:03,569
And the other teams will be playing off the day before to go into it.
241
00:17:03,569 --> 00:17:08,321
And that's, again, think Major League Pickleball does something along that line as well.
242
00:17:08,321 --> 00:17:09,836
So the reward for
243
00:17:09,836 --> 00:17:16,711
being at the top of the table in the regular season is you get a buy either in first or
second place.
244
00:17:16,711 --> 00:17:25,116
The two teams we have in first and second are the Northern Rollers from here in Southern,
well, Central Ontario.
245
00:17:26,677 --> 00:17:30,880
Team that kind of did okay last year, but not incredible.
246
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,862
I got to know a lot of the players, great folks.
247
00:17:33,862 --> 00:17:39,752
They have some new players this year, but they have been an incredible team this year, all
season long.
248
00:17:39,752 --> 00:17:41,843
Absolutely all season long.
249
00:17:41,843 --> 00:17:49,728
A solid team and congratulations to the Northern Rollers for locking up first place
yesterday or on Sunday.
250
00:17:49,748 --> 00:17:52,389
Second place is the Montreal Royals.
251
00:17:52,389 --> 00:17:55,341
Now Montreal did not have a great season last year.
252
00:17:55,341 --> 00:18:00,254
Their owner, by the way, is Jay Devillier for you PPA fans.
253
00:18:00,434 --> 00:18:04,276
Jay is a francophone.
254
00:18:04,757 --> 00:18:07,018
He bought the Montreal team.
255
00:18:07,370 --> 00:18:12,493
Some of the players or most of the players were from Montreal last year and they are again
this year as well.
256
00:18:12,653 --> 00:18:20,617
And they came in second and it was right down to the wire between first and second down to
the last few games.
257
00:18:20,617 --> 00:18:22,898
So the league has been very successful.
258
00:18:22,939 --> 00:18:25,160
It's been a lot of
fun to watch.
259
00:18:25,260 --> 00:18:28,221
We live streamed it all weekend on our website.
260
00:18:29,723 --> 00:18:31,644
They have cameras on all three courts.
261
00:18:31,644 --> 00:18:32,124
put them on.
262
00:18:32,124 --> 00:18:36,396
We had three courts on Sunday and we had two courts Monday and Tuesday.
263
00:18:36,654 --> 00:18:38,434
But it was a it was a fun event.
264
00:18:38,434 --> 00:18:49,334
I watched a lot of the matches as did I watch PPA because I can't play right now So but
great great matches if you want to look at any of them and look back again right on our
265
00:18:49,334 --> 00:18:54,154
website There's a post about the CNPL and you can see it over there.
266
00:18:54,154 --> 00:19:06,136
So that's pretty much it today Any links you're interested in 11 624 all that will be in
the show notes as well any other paddle
267
00:19:06,136 --> 00:19:10,389
companies we have a code for for you.
268
00:19:11,890 --> 00:19:14,602
there's three new paddles coming in from Selkirk as well.
269
00:19:14,602 --> 00:19:17,664
They've just updated their Halo line of paddles.
270
00:19:17,664 --> 00:19:20,055
We're giving a Halo away next week.
271
00:19:20,376 --> 00:19:29,442
And we have three of theirs coming in in the next, I'm not sure exactly in the next week,
I assume they've just been released.
272
00:19:29,442 --> 00:19:33,034
We ordered in advance, but we haven't received them yet.
273
00:19:33,034 --> 00:19:35,754
In fact, I don't think they've shipped yet for some reason.
274
00:19:35,754 --> 00:19:41,459
So we'll have those again and maybe we'll talk about them in the next podcast.
275
00:19:41,459 --> 00:19:43,961

282

a little bit I'm heading to Stratford today for a play that my son directed the lighting
for so little should be should be a fine day to see his work and
283
00:20:32,279 --> 00:20:34,900
Anyway, that's, we'll end things there.

See everybody.
290
00:20:50,014 --> 00:20:50,964
Bye -bye.
