Brand in pickle ball cirk sport we are pickle ball welcome back to Grand St court at this uh cirk Red Rock open presented by pickle ball Central Jim CLA here with Michelle esil we’ve got grand stand Court action a really good match coming up I mean they’re all really good matches but uh some more than others one.

We’re both really looking forward to do I know Michelle we’ve got the number three seed Tyra black and Elise Jones against the number six seed Mari humberg and Georg Johnson Michelle I know you know all these players as well as anybody what do you think of this one oh I think it’s going to be a great matchup uh Mari hurg we haven’t seen her much on.

The PPA tour but we have seen her play in MLP um she is a great left side player um she’s really hungry for it right now she loves the game and so she’s looking to you know make her name here on the PPA tour she wants to just show everyone what she’s got and um she’s playing uh with her partner Georgia Johnson and George is back on.

The PPA tour so this is a new partnership I can’t wait to see how they play with each other they’re both strong uh mari’s just like all I got to do is get the ball and play when you have Georgia Johnson on your side so um fun stuff there uh Tyra black and Elise Jones I love elise’s energy and uh Tyra is just.

Like solid there’s I mean you know she doesn’t have like any like crazy strengths or weaknesses she’s just solid she’s consistent she plays high percentage and I think she has the best footwork on tour because she gets to everything gets it back in play what do you think Jim well uh Georgia and Mari did play did play one before they played.

Uh out at Mesa and caught a lot of their action out there and they work their way to a a bronze medal um um had some nice wins um if I recall right they defeated uh Vivian David and Anna brigh um we’re playing together in that one and defeated them in the bronze medal game so um and uh I know they’re playing on playing a number of tournaments more.

Together the rest of this year um Mari obviously making a name for herself getting drafted in premere MH was a big step I think people are learning who she is um you know you know your pickle ball you’ve known her know her for a while but yeah fact getting out there I remember when she first got drafted um in MLP uh cuz she was my partner for.

Florida smash last season and it was so it was so great to see her out there and we had a lot of fun and well deserved for her for making it into the premier MLP team yes I remember seeing the you know it’s getting to be like the NFL draft where all these uh different people do their post draft analysis including me I admit and it was.

Interesting to see somebody else in their post-draft analysis said said something along lines of Mari who I saw that and I said I’m not sure you should be doing a a public uh post-draft analysis if you say Mari who um but uh on the other side leise Jones and Tyra black interesting combination uh Elise Jones another one who has as much fun as.

Anybody on the court um we’ll see if she uh Takes a Tumble and makes another meme of pickle ball out of it Tyra um gets to play left side of course playing with Elise and uh Tyra I do think is a lot stronger on the left side she’s got a lot of power off that forand it’s Sneaky power yes off that forehand and uh she does have a tendency.

To leave some forehand dinks up in the air when she plays on the right side but playing left side she gets a gets to focus more on the backhand TK where she’s really really good so uh I mean we’ve got four really good players mhm um quarterfinals baby anybody can win this one it’s it’s another match like the last one we commenting you know if.

It was a gold medal match nobody’d be really surprised same thing here yeah the the field has definitely gotten stronger this last year um as far as uh depth in the draws has been crazy um so you’re playing like even the first round matches are so good and um that’s what we like to see here on the PPA tour the quality is just through the roof.

Absolutely I mean it used to be that maybe you’d get a you know not not an easy match but you know you’re round to 32 um maybe was not the not the most difficult for the top players now uh if you’re not paying attention in the round of 32 you’re sitting early we’ve even seen you know Ben and Colin get knocked down early in a couple.

Of tournaments and if it can happen to them it can happen to anybody that’s right the pressure is on I like single elimination um as far as this uh Pro tournament goes because it puts more pressure you know to play perform well instead of just coming back through a traditional backd draw right where it all started back in the day other thing.

Is watch out for some of these kids I was walking around show before the tournament started today that the amateur started a little earlier MH watching some of the kids that are 13 14 15 years old boy there was one 13-year-old kid who uh took a silver medal in men’s 5 oo I love that years old uh bring on the Juniors kid had some.

Game and I told him I told him well I’ll be I’ll be commentating on one of your matches here in about two or three years kiding no maybe even like in one year maybe maybe going to be the the male version of an Le be out here at 16 but wow it’s some something to see but uh you know know one thing um having having been around pickle ball now more than.

Well more than 10 years I don’t want to say how many years but uh anyway um we’ve seen a development where um there are now people starting to get to the pro level that grew up as pickle ball players rather than grew up as tennis players and switched over we’re now starting to see the kids who got a paddle when they were two years old and.

Have just played pickle ball and they don’t know uh tennis people talk a lot about Dylan Frasier you know as somebody who’s just a pickleball player didn’t come over from tennis as if he’s a unicorn he’s not a unicorn any more the kids are coming along that are pure pickleball players looks like at least Jones is going to get a start here at.

02 Geor didn’t like that one back doesn’t usually miss that tough s out there as the ball trickles over and Mari hur’s return Georgia Johnson to serve here game number one for those who may not have seen Mari much before she’s got a little bit different style uh we see so many.

Two-hand back hands now she’s exclusively a one-hand backand a lot of cuts of both forehand and backand and then Mari definitely likes her backand flick at the net mhm so she’ll she’ll cut the ball heavily from the Baseline um but once she gets the net she likes to look for a backhand.

Flick a back back hand flip initiated by Terra Binks but sorry TI Georgia with the power though yes you can really see it there George’s about as powerful as anybody I think in the women’s game oari was sitting on that one yeah it seems like they’re just waiting for them.

To initiate at this point that carried a little long little wide wind’s definitely died down here yeah the momentum pretty good right here in game number one as Mar H brers look that cut cut drop a little short nice combination there by Tyra.

Flick backhand put her opponent off balance a little bit get a little high ball and uh a lot of power off that forehand Ty checking the overgrip on her paddle oh looks like she’s actually regripping her paddle equipment timeout as they call that no pressure everyone’s just watching you.

Good crowd here on grandstand Court standing room only as we’ve had for most of the week St George coming out to watch the best play the best and there it’s good example of the the cut shots that Mari likes to use it throws people off sometimes they’re not used to it you don’t see it from a lot of players that heavy heavy.

Cut nice defense really nice defense couldn’t quite make the transition though it’s like when you find get up to the line you get a little anxious you want a high one wow that was a nice backhand overhead there by Georgia it’s a pretty good lob from mise followed up by great poach by Mari humberg.

S’s just long that looks a little long she just laughs that one off but you know it’s there’s nothing wrong with going for a serve especially when you when you’re up 62 nice off pace for hand flick by Georgia Johnson little intermittent win today died down for a while now it seems like it picked up.

Slightly again yeah Mari again with that heavy heavy forehand cut serve return Tyron not really getting under it enough yeah she’s not feeling it right now you got to really get in your get your feet in position to hit that ball be a little bit more patient definitely bend your knees if you get get to up right on it.

It’s just going to go in the net they had control of that one it seemed like both Georgia and Mari wanted that middle ball so bad yeah Mar hurg is very comfortable with that backand sliced ink um not a lot of players you see actually slice or cut the dink she’s one of very few but it is very.

Successful oh Mario overcooking that ball definitely going to want that one back you don’t want to give your opponents chance to come back in a game where you’ve been dominating that would have been 82 out take us to 272 a lot of Partners here on this court have been uh crashing.

Paddles there in the middle but I like the aggressiveness I’d rather see that than both players Miss interesting here Georgia and Mari choosing not to stack George is staying on the left obviously Georgia could play very competent left side mhm just I know Mari definitely preser prefers the left side.

Got to be very careful in the windy conditions got to really focus on those dinks yes good combination from Mari the cut dink leading to a slightly high ball not a really it wasn’t that high but slightly high in that she could do her favorite backand flick nice work another point on the scoreboard here on this side out and.

That takes us to a timeout and we will take a break here and come back shortly at the cirk Red Rock open presented by pickle ball Central don’t let residue ruin your play reset the ultimate solution to bring back the grip Spin and control to your carbon fiber pickle ball paddle say hello to a paddle that feels brand new.

Reset Play Hard Play clean we’re back here at Grand Stand action Jim CL with Michelle asaville uh we have Georgia Johnson and Mari Humber running out to a 9-3 lead uh Michelle what do you think uh Tyra and Elise need to do to counter this uh little bit of a run here.

Yeah I I just feel like uh Tyra and Alise could both just be a little bit more aggressive um Mari and Georgia are taking the lead on that they’re taking the opportunity way earlier so you know black and Jones have to figure out hey when are we going to take that opportunity to be aggressive and game number one game number one goes.

To gorg Johnson and Mar hbert 113 a great performance by then surprisingly easy um and we will take a break and we’ll come back for the second game of this very interesting match here at the cirk Red Rock open presented by pickle ball Central we are cerk we are pickle ball pickle ball yeah pickle ball all ages family friends dinks drives ernes.

Atps and whatever this is 10 years in and just getting started here and not going anywhere we are you and you are who we work for family-owned USA made pickle ball proud cell Kirk sport we are pickle ball and we’re back here with grand Stan.

Action Georgia Johns in the open game two wow Georg just having a good time up there he is having a good time that’s one thing about Mari and Georgia playing together they seem to really enjoy playing to each other playing with each other what do you think about that Michelle what do you what what uh part.

Do you think having fun with your partner plays uh having a good time knowing when you have good points knowing when you’re feeling it yeah know knowing the confidence you have in your partner and relying on them and knowing they’re out there with you is just makes it such a good time.

Right wow I thought Georgia had an easy put away there early on came back but they stuck with it and finally Georgia misses the dink first one of the match good angle there from Mar players are so good defensively that.

Even when you have a high ball if you can get a little bit of angle on it make it tougher on him oh yeah oh wow uhoh great angle there by Mari but uh Tu Tyra into our fence there looks like she’s okay fortunately did not hit her head yeah.

She took just a little Mist up there but she seems to be okay little no time hand I think but we go 401 here game two Johnson and hurg having one game one I felt like everyone was able to get a flip there in that point really good.

Defense there by Elise Jones looked like Johnson and Humber had control that point man I I just love Georgia Johnson Mari humberg just reaching forward forward way out in front over that kitchen taking those balls out of the air and controlling the point O and that one just wide but that’s the shot we’re talking.

About that’s that’s a big Miss though difference between serving at 602 and a side out if this game turns around that’ll be a shot to remember and the wind changes Direction right at the serve Miss return by Mari hurg a little momentum here in game.

Number two for Le Jones that might get us a timeout here another one save one if they can save another it going l there time definitely timeout coming after.

That we see the importance though Michelle that last sequence where Georgia and Mari were serving both of the both of them had an opportunity to win a point and instead uh it was a side out could have had a 6 or 70 lead instead it went back at 0 now a 40 R brought it back almost to.

Even yeah it is a game of momentum right so right when you lose that momentum it’s it’s hard to gain it back especially against these tough players out here who are fighting for everything especially if you can get you know having won the first game if they could have gotten to 70 you know you start to maybe your opponents start.

Thinking well you know we’re about done here dead now 54 and they’re thinking game we’re going to get to a game three it’s nice to win the first one coming out of the timeout that’s for sure that’s super important to just stop the momentum yeah now Alise Jones Ty black.

They’re playing a lot more aggressive here in game number two they’re taking the opportunities and they’re going for it I think that was big for them to get at least one point out of the side out not just get the ball back but get a point to sort of try to stifle a momentum Ty was sitting on that.

One quite high enough for spe but at least they got they got one out of it oh Georgia tries to attempt to drop volley unsuccessful there very very difficult shot that always looks a lot easier than it really is good flick into the body there by maray that’s so tough her accuracy is just crazy with that back hand.

Fli wow w point of the match that was that was something both had their opportunities on that one bad time to miss a third keep the pressure on your opponent two Miss.

The crowd very into this game here what a game of inches though I mean the difference between being tied on a one and still down one on a two Ali’s coming in a little too hot there she had it she had a ball she could handle just need to get on top of it a little more these drops are just not working right.

Now for hurg and Johnson mostly mostly netting them it’s not that they’re getting them too high uhoh I mean right when you have Johnson and hurg on defense that’s where you could start taking advantage so I like I like the pressure that black and Jones.

Are are doing right now they’re putting a lot of pressure on their opponents yeah I think uh George and Mari are not doing quite as good a job at getting into the net another epic hand battle here in Grand San Court oh finally making their way up but not being able to close that.

Counter wow that got away from her yeah she’s trying to attempt something trying to get that point going but nothing’s working another opportunity for black and Jones oh finally off of the five as at least J celebrates and the momentum keeps going and Mar hurg unsure of the call so.

Refers to the ref and she says it’s in and with that they have a time out things have definitely shifted on this one CH yes playing a lot more aggressively I feel like and um you know the thirds you got to find the thirds Mari hurg Georgia Johnson with coach Julie Johnson on the sideline.

What do you think they’re talking about there Jim well I think um I think what seems to have shifted for me is is uh Mari and Georgia were having success when when all four were set and at the line exchanging things they seem to have the better end of it where Alise and dyra maybe lift lifted a ball up a little bit too much and Mari and Georgia.

Were then able to initiate the offense off of a little bit higher ball and what shifted now is they seem to have trouble getting to the kitchen line in part because of the aggressiveness that you’ve mentioned of Elise and Tyra but uh I think Georg and Mari need to need to calm down focus on a good effective drop and getting into that.

Line let’s see if they could find the patience here as we continue game number two but that’s not what you want that’s for sure that one is called out Mar had a good look at that one that get us to a second game point though all right they got a.

Chance nice work Elise Jones Tyra Tyra black getting a game point there nice defense excellent perfectly putting that ball into the kitchen yes.

Work again when they get to the line they they’ve they’ve had the advantage referee timeout trying to figure out the score there should be 7 102 I’m glad we’re keeping track uh assuming I got it right of course 7102 for sure o they got what they wanted there.

But couldn’t quite close that’s that’s huge Miss right there good serving at 9102 one of the most underestimated defensive players in the game at least Jones here with a game point they’re able to close out game number two you guys we’re going to game three let’s go yeah it’s going to be interesting to.

Show how they all four players come back here in the next game all right guys we’re going to take a timeout don’t go anywhere we’ll be right back.

we’re back here for game three third and deciding game Elise Jones getting us started all right a little patience there at the beginning of game number one I think that’s a good word to use Michelle I.

Think if Mari and Georgia can can be patient they seem to have had the advantage Miss wi Tyra had some excellent defense on down the middle balls with another miracle defensive stand the defense is just so good from.

At Le Jones oh a bad skip there from TY black there’s that slice return that was helping Mari hurg there in game number one she found it here in game number three crucial for the side out look over at the flag and now the wind’s blowing the opposite way and and we’re talking about Gusty wind we’re not.

Talking about consistent wins that’s wide good crowd forming around this grand stand match standing rol only several several people deep beautiful put away from TY black wow Bo that defense from relas is something that’s what I’m saying that’s it’s such a crucial part of the game.

That no one really talks about like offense oh the hand battles but Elise is just defend Ive resets are just out like insane you got to be hitting the corners just like that last shot to get through her if you can make your opponent hit one more shot that’s often the difference talk about defense now HG with the pickup let’s make him hit one.

More shot really matters the Amer L even but even Pros Miss that’s one that Tyra black wants to put away Ty I’d like to see Mari and Georgia drop more yeah I want to see them just make more third shots in general yes you know.

What I mean just make them play I want to see some fifth shots and sevenths that was a good shot very deep Top Spin at at least backing up crazy good defense every bying yeah yeah she finally found an attack because of all that defense.

Defense setting up the offense says a the feel of a game is going to go like 1210 or something I know they both want it they’re both hungry both teams fired up that’s a great coach by car black at least they made them play the third there on this side out see if they could get into into a.

Groove the pressure is too good George and Mari need to find a third shot comb that’s working it’s just they’re just not getting into their offense again the defense but at least tire was ridiculous got back in that point just qu couldn’t convert 2 two.

Two I see as the ball’s traveling over I see it shifting in so many directions before it finally gets to the paddle of a player Georgia just making a few unforced errors here MH there’s that nice return Mary hurg has that’s been helping them out big big cut mhm Tyra had a little.

Trouble getting under it she got she got under it that time to push the wi they just not finding they’re just not finding it they’re on the third I mean I do like them dropping instead of driving but one thing worse than not getting not getting your third and is not getting to your.

Third it’s all mental at this point it’s the same as baseball Yi bar said about baseball 90% of the game is half mental whatever that means it’s my second yogiism of the day just hanging out see if I can come with a third yes yes that ball goes right into the middle I just want to see some high.

Percentage from Georgia and Mario right now I just want to see high percentage pickle ball make them play get up to the net yeah and it’s okay it took five shots to get up to the line see what I noticed though Michelle is it almost looked like even though there was a successful drop they were still hanging back thinking you know we haven’t been.

Dropping while I better hang back just I would definitely if I was Tyron at least I’d Return To Georgia right now oo nice tops spin serve go oh no no no that’s a poor poor choice there you got the advantage you got to keep the pressure on that drop volley is is.

Such a difficult shot especially in the wi and a timeout is called by Mari hurg and Georgia Johnson here in game number three you guys we’re going to take a quick timeout as well don’t go anywhere sounds like we’re keeping it here Michelle so players in the timeout Julian Johnson talking to.

Georgia and muray trying to come up with the right strategy I think they know the right Mich sometimes it isn’t about strategy it’s just about execution right so what could they do execution wise to get their thirds in Well normally I would tell people if they’re having trouble with their drops you know go to a drive.

Because it’s usually easier to to get your drive in but that doesn’t get them to the kitchen line and they really their their offense consist getting to the kitchen line I’d like to see them I’d like to see them both stand back just a little bit since they’re against the wind right now here we go back at it game number.

Three yeah that’s that’s what they can’t and we’re going to take a break we’ll come back we’re doing a side change and we’ll come back here to the S Kirk Red Rock open presented by pickle ball Central.

Pick a ball welcome back we’re in game three it’s another one Michelle where it seems like the moment shifted definitely Le and Tyra are up up and happy Georgia and Mari seem like they’re playing a little.

Tight eight three it’s just it’s just getting away for one here and another timeout is called here 93 Tire black Elise Jones on fire right now that timeout was really needed though you know talk about a game of runs I mean they just found something.

And you know they found their defensive game they found the right opportunities to be offensive great playing the focus on the on the other bench on MAR hurg Georgia Johnson feel like the focus was gone right there in the mid game number two I feel like they’ve completely lost that you know.

Momentum that they needed as you were mentioning um when they could have kept kept up with their run and they started doing different things they started you know trying to drop volleys and changing their game plan I mean they’re upbeat they’re in demeanor they don’t look frustrated but I think it did get a little mental and uh got to him a little.

Bit and the ball’s just long oh and they changed their call she overed interesting over rolling herself sometimes best cure when you’re having a little bit of trouble just smack the heck out of the ball maybe a couple of.

Those high forehands will help Georgia one of the problems with the with Mario and George’s offense is just the defense that’s just great defense they had a shot could not convert oh a speed up into a a deep volley that looked like it was going to go out but stays.

In much needed Point here for Georgia Johnson and Mari hurg just kind of a tight looking shot yeah there was a great drop I think uh T hit a few balls that were going out there I thought that too but because the wind has been shifting from one end to the other left and right I feel like they’re just playing.

Aggressive and getting through it come on that defense by TI she looked like she was soft B she almost fell down kept it going with effective shots and here we are with a first match point here in game number three Elise Jones serving it out and they take it in game team number three Tyra black Elise Jones defeat.

Central Jim Claus here with Michelle esel and we have men’s doubles action in the quarterfinals we’ve got the number four seed Tyson McGuffin and de Bar number seven seed Hayden Patrick Quinn and Ken Dawson Michelle what’s your thoughts on this one yeah I mean this is going to be a fun matchup this is going to be great.

Uh Tyson McGuffin duckle bar have been playing well together together and the SoCal boys over here call Dawson Hayden Patrick Quinn also um know each other’s Style game really well so it’s going to be heated one here we go let’s go see come on right back right here goes a little wide ties things up.

By Patrick Quinn oo and a ball comes into play here G number one where did that ball come from yeah where did that come from look out for these rallies uh both teams really like to work the point kyden Patrick likes to sneak in his backhand flick but call Dawson with his beat up.

That’s a rare sight sighting i’ see was just thinking the same thing that was that was going to be Mike you stole my comment and also a rare sighting by Tyson McGuffin missing his serve very interesting Styles I think to this match you know Ken just super steady sort of came over from ping pong been around a long time likes to lob you.

Don’t see very often come on Hayden Patrick Quinn you know not the biggest guy in the world but a lot of power great backhand flick great Ser obviously a lot of power let’s go Tyson good allaround game can hit a can hit a nasty forehand but has great touch likes to hit a.

Backhand cut ooh foot F cold on de Bar great job by the ref nice drive age yeah Hayden is coming hot with his drives right now Relentless Ken rushing with a looking to shake and bake that might have caught Deal’s eye and threw him off a little good Lu tile right back guys come.

On opting to stay instead of switch here on the return of serve just to be in better position that helps him out for a sight out look like’s laughing I think they were mixed up on the signal there Tyson was switching and de wasn’t a beautiful disguise into a speed up on.

Definitely has a crafty speed up off the forehand very hard to see went opposite way on the Inside Out second ball just goes oh another footfall called with this side this time on Hayden patriquin sort of Step Up and then back off the overhead that’s what catches people they step up to jump.

good let’s go come on One Stop nice spot come on let’s go a really good accurate spot seems like he’s taking something off his serve you know he used to have one of the biggest serves looks like he’s taking something off it mhm.

Oh there’s a big tyon forand we saw that in singles this game is actually moving really fast as far as points go feel like the drives are just too good from all players nice cover K come here boys right back although everybody in this game is a good dinker yes you know but.

It is surprising you right we haven’t had a lot of D points so good I I feel like um especially in the beginning of game one and some of game two you’re just going through fast fast fast fast until it gets to the nitty-gritty in game three wa a rep let’s go boys play Big haven’t had too.

Many bad unfor stairs but there was one and then so big see come on Tyson kind of looked up on his return cannot look up Don’t good Lu he checked come on stop go H come on turn go here oh big earning from K Dawson that kind of came out of nowhere I’m telling you.

He’s been he’s been working on different parts of his game cuz came out hot with the speed up he’s looking for ernes into a on the third let’s go that’s a unusual shot for Ken I mean he was like 8T behind the Baseline another big speed up by yeah right into Hayden Patrick Ken’s.

Forehand into the body H counter from Dawson go I am very impressed with Ken Dawson’s game right now it’s full of new surprises I haven’t seen in the last four years let me tell you well I think he’s you know he’s been around a while awon family obviously big at pickle ball um but we’re going to take a.

Break we’ll come back and talk about the new K Dawson here in just a minute the cirk Red Rock open is brought to you by rain clean energy for Everyone by Select Medical the exclusive Physical Therapy partner of the PPA Tour by vizzy a flavor for every Vibe and by Sketchers conquer the court in Comfort Michelle as we talked about the.

Break C has been around a long time he’s known as a player with great touch mentioned before we started about Zab ability we saw a great one here a minute ago but now we’re seeing a a little more power from him more drives than we’re used to seeing what do you think about it yeah and speed ups and I’m just I’m loving.

It oh referee a on a footfall called so the point will be replayed ball bounced so no foot fault you can be in the kitchen all you want if the ball bounces o into a Mis return usually hits that it’s unusual for him to not be right on a counter one.

Of his main strengths nice return see one stop guys come on here we go Point here here we go k and fake like he was going to dink SP it up the game point that’ll do game one impressive by Callen Dawson and Hayden Patrick when in game number one.

Don’t go anywhere you guys game number two is coming up wherever you are on your pickle ball Journey our experts are here to help and we’re back at Grand Stand action JY class Michelle asaville we’re.

Just laughing a little bit Michelle was eyeing a Fan’s corn dog don’t judge me okay the corn dog will great we’re going to start game two k Daws get it started they won game one and the L little net love caught Tyson I’m I don’t know about you Jim but the velocity on the ball right now it’s.

Just so quick I I’ve never seen the ball move so fast is it the altitude is it the paddles what’s going on good Ser you come on well I’ve spoken about this before the I think the game changed on January 1 2024 um yeah he got big in there got big.

That’s the day that PPA switched to the Vulcan ball and a lot of new paddles came out you know first the year a lot of Manufacturers here come over with their new one and that’s just continued whether it’s the the H three Ola 3 the gearbox paddle that you hear so much about mm um paddle just the a lot more pop the Vulcan ball receptive to Top.

Spin oh Ball’s just wide there from a guffin i people a lot of times talk about the speed of the ball but it’s not necess the speed of the ball it’s also how receptive it is to spin mhm wow you could see that Ernie coming for about a minute and a half just saw it all the way the ball.

Just hanging there the anticipation from K Dawson unreal beautiful too big too big come on but again the the the dur you know people say it’s the faster ball it may be faster but Vulcan ball really takes Top Spin I mean you saw just from that shot of right there Bo come on right here the the Top Spin drop it it didn’t even.

Exist in pickle ball 5 years ago exactly exactly it was nonexistent go back and watch tape and now it’s just everywhere oh another ball rolling off of the net frustration for Tyson but again that shot from Hayden it’s not just hard speed shot but you can see the dip or standing about 10 ft from the.

Court you can see the DI dip oh and a timeout is called from McGuffin and bar definitely a needed timeout and uh as we’re talking about padal technology and the spin on the ball and what impresses me too is that the player doesn’t look like they’re trying to add spin it’s just coming off you know effortlessly almost I mean the.

Swing’s there but it’s like you know you’re not trying to like you don’t have all the time in the world to do it so just it’s an it’s an impressive thing for me to watch especially if you’re playing the last 10 years just like yourself Jim and um if you want to try one of these new crazy paddles you could check them out at pickle ball Central.

here we go here here we go sailing hand back H come on here we go right back right here here we go oh I see you like that like like that one more one more too good good spot D come on here we go here we.

Let that’s it boys come on that’s it know we’re here at a timeout here in game two Hayden Patrick and K Dawson took game one and had a 70 lead to open game two tuckle bar and Tyson McGuffin uh they fought back in a a lot.

Of matches they play together I’ve seen a number of them where they were down and came back they are going to hang in there 372 great spot come on let’s go boys right here is just too good in this game on those speed UPS on those attacks out of the air I think they’re they’re doing a good job of playing together slightly.

Different styles between Hayden and K but mixing well oh oh boy oh my gosh and that’s going to that’s going to be a replay since the ball bounc into the bar after my goodness that is that is lucky for Tyson because there’s no way he was going to get that one he had no angle all right M and finding Hayden Patrick.

Twins crosscourt backhand dink oh yeah and the duck on it was on that big time Oh I thought they were going to just let McGuffin stay on that side since he’s been doing so well at countering and setting it up yes see come on you’re on now let’s go one more stop guys let’s go h.

Go Point come on your turn come on come on H lock in right here get big let’s go come on boys wow what a game to Michelle oh my gosh that was so awesome what a tremendous comeback from Tyson McGuffin and decle.

Bar oh we’re going to game three well it was 70 I think it was and that was when I said those two veteran players have fought back a lot of times I I don’t know if I really believed it no you you called that you called that no they have I’ve seen them do it before where they’ve had mat matches like I remember at Desert Ridge in the round of 32 they.

Got smoked in game one and they were way down in game two if I remember right uh Rosco Bellamy and West Burrows came back and beat him and I think they went on to medal in the tournament after being dead in round 32 so what happened in game number two for them to come back like that few mistakes I mean Hayden a few shots um I think.

They steady down Tyson has just been a rock all right here we go game number three quarterfinals place your bets I don’t know who’s going to take this one in you’re on Ball’s tring so fast that players don’t even have an opportunity to let.

Out balls go out it’s true there’s an unusual number of out balls that been hit it’s not not the player can’t fault the players it’s just thing’s coming like a rocket and you’re not sure what the effect of the wind’s going to be either B first point Come On First point the conditions at the at the cirk Red Rock.

Open have been so crazy every single year you got wins you got snow definitely the elements play to this match Ty and Tyson is I mean all the players playing well obviously but Tyson has just been a rock here ever since the middle of that second game de third ear about the last eight points he’s feeling it he’s settled in.

He’s here ready to rock and roll game number three yeah lost his hat but he was ready lost his hat but he didn’t lose his game important thing is he didn’t lose it in the kitchen.

Ooh nice go come on Ken Dawson with another sneaky Ernie yeah he likes that sort of reverse Ernie so good a come on go on that let’s go no no no no no you don’t want to go there yeah I’ve been seeing Hayden hit a lot of balls like back into the opponents.

But that one actually went down into the court which is where he’s going to find most of his his success that’s long now the wind has changed directions again he got players on their toes I don’t think i’ want to be a Weatherman in St George I I want to be a weatherman where I come from in Phoenix you just.

Say hot and sunny you got about 98% of the time covered you were mentioning a declear serve in in this match in particular how it slowed down I’ve seen a progression in the pace as well on his serve here in game three looks like he’s putting a little more Top Spin on it little upward get a little hop.

On I’m not sure that was a legal double hit one each that ball just white but a definitely good look from K Dawson yes ladies and gentlemen we here at the cerk Red Rock open where all players are just having some intense hand battles Ernies you name it we are here with the fourth Ernie in recent.

Points and that b stays inle bar gets out of the way Tyson’s defense has just been ridiculous yes it’s been seing that team for sure I’m ha and K I I mean not the deck’s playing poorly but I got to hit it the deck Tyson’s just.

Tough right right right here here we go we go oh yeah sitting on that initiation yell that he thought was going I think it was hit that hard so I think that was a good play by De it’s always good good play if you put it away I.

Suppose o Tyson seemed like he hurried that c after the referee calls your score you got 10 seconds you can you can use the time big drive for another Point duckle bar Tyson McGuffin one point away from a side switch here Tyson was all pretzel up on that last one great spot by Hayden Patrick.

Quin can’t blame de that was a couple good shots just sometimes a good shot leads to a great shot by your opponent so good H okay Patrick and certainly not afraid to bang with him right back right here here we.

Go ni by Duck right there he got a good swing at it oh that’s a that’s a poor speat up on the guffin then as both players were sitting sitting on his initiation another one has a feel of an 119 or 1210 game.

And it sells just long Ty McGuffin Bo that look good when he hit it yeah I was like oh that’s going to be it not sure the wind might have carried it slightly yeah see how he jumped right the counter back hand that’s right and we are in Game number three so that means that there is.

A side switch here to whoever get six first and uh Tyson McGuffin and duckle bar get that six and we’ll take a break and we’ll come back with the rest of the game introducing ver six raw The Sweet Spot.

Welcome back you guys to the cirk Red Rock open presented by pickle ball Central Dylan Frasier to serve here in this quarterfinal match what a point to start us out we have Dylan Frasier JW Johnson the number two seed playing against Tyler LOM and J Martinez pick what do you think so far.

Jim well uh first point we saw a no fly zone which is JW Johnson’s back hand let’s go let’s go John is as athletic as anybody will see on tour he can cover some Court a little short I’m interested Michelle to see what strategy John and Tyler ploy I know what Dyan JW do J are just going.

To play what I’d call Classic pickle ball just drop get to the line if they drive it’s really for purpose of hitting a fifth shot drop they get to the line and they’re going to out dink you and they’re just going to wait they’re both so good at counterattacking they just want to get up there and Dink and let you let you.

Speed it up take your chances yeah let’s go go JY game is definitely not the classic right he like J is more of a more of a chaos player yeah I mean John game I’ve been saying this for a long time when he was first thought of as just a singles player I.

Said no he’s got doubles game he’s got all the shots looked like a great shake and bake but uh Dylan can block with the best of them that’s again that’s that you do not hit the ball there I mean either s and done everybody’s going to make mistakes but you just do not want to go to JW Johnson’s backhand from about thigh high.

Up probably the probably the best backhand flick there is shows he’s got a forehand too yes but that that JW backhand is is nasty two-point lead here in game number one come on go one more let’s go 412 again I told you that’s just no go yeah.

No go so instead of going backand right to his backand where would you go well you can go backand to him you just can’t can’t get it again easier say done but you just cannot get it up at all and there it is again so maybe hitting that dink a little bit more shallow J well I think you need I think you need.

To D JW and Dylan middle okay to have a backand oriented grip that’s what makes his backhand flick so good and uh tends to be somewhat limited off the forehand down by five here on the side out and it feels like nothing’s working for them right now they’ve been dinking.

Being patient speeding up JW and Dylan have an answer for everything what’s kind of interesting about it is you know Ben and call obviously ranked number one Dylan jit up two but um often the John brothers are a little more susceptible to an early upset JD and Dylan T not to get upset very often in round of 16 quarter.

Quarters if they’re in a tournament they usually make semis at least shot so you know the John’s Brothers get beat by sometimes a team that it’s unexpected in an early round employing sign of kind of a chaos strategy chaos tends not to work very well against these two all right JY trying to find a spot.

On Dylan fer there go JN let’s go if you’re going to attack Dylan you got to kind of go right hip and you got a shot at it nice get by couldn’t do much with it tough circumstances here in Grand sang Court one all right so we’re seeing something here Jim we’re seeing a lot more speed.

UPS into Dylan faser from Jami J’s definitely going to tap the ball keep it up let’s go not that he can’t dink well but he’s he’s much more comfortable with a fast game ohy is there for the counter he’s just over hitting right now and and overseeing it he’s getting excited down by.

One big poach yes wow huge point for the side out John May Tyler had that point a couple of times but uh some rock solid defense come on one more let’s go come on Dylan missing a few drives go back to.

Dropping tough Miss by T yes and ball goes outside of grand sand Court another Vulcan ball brought out by the ref souvenir for somebody on the other side of the fence three-point lead.

Ref overturns the call ball was in right play by Dylan though he switched from driving to dropping and they got to go back to their game again is just dro get to the line beat you at The Line Game point that go game one yes JW Johnson Dylan Fier taking game one against Tyler.

Le and J Martinez Vic we’re going to go ahead and take a timeout along with the players here at the S Kirk Red Rock open presented by pickle ball Central don’t go anywhere we’ll be right back introducing vers six raw The Sweet Spot of price and performance all of the.

The winner Tyson McGuffin and de Bar who just played here in a tremendous three three- game match make sure to go back and take a look at that one that one was fun that one was fun make sure you listed the comment by me when Tyson and Deco were down 70 in game two and I said they might might well.

Come back that they’re very good at it the lob into another lob Point construction how about the shot by J from a Basel on a drive ow what a way to open up game number two oh an unfortunate speed up into the.

Net and up into the hands of JW Johnson for the side out JD making it easy look making it look easy if those falls off the net but they’re not got a big crowd here around grandstand Court including one of the best players in the world Connor garette just talk to him for a moment about which side he.

Thought was a little better in the wind he said he likes the jdb Dylan Side drop volley wow and J just making the ball go everywhere on the court the drop volley surprised he let that lob bounce though he’s taking his time something the crowd yelling it’s in it’s.

In I think they’re listening to the crowd on that one and the Ernie from Tyler LOM was so ahead of it he could have done anything yeah Tyler’s one of the best in the world at that Ernie but it’s a recognition that’s the key nice return for the side out by Dylan Fraser.

Oh yeah another Earnie into a poach by J you that kind of inside out earning as opposed to earning it down the line and popping it away oh and the speed up by JY that that two-hander that was well disguised they’re doing a lot better job Tyler and Y JY this game of of keeping it down when they’re going to to JB’s.

Backand o big swing and a miss here on that side out it’s definitely safe to to dink to DW’s back in as long as long as you make him bounce it it’s when you get it up a little bit he can do that flick is the the noo Zone that’s a good example of how jmv has advanced so much in the doubles game.

You know once upon a time people thought I’m just a singles player just watch watch the tape on that point you’ll see his progression as a double player Jia coming in hard on that PO and just misjudging a little bit mhm come on one more here to serve looking to.

Catch up down by two oh and that ball goes out wide into the crowd looking to attack interesting that JB and Dylan are stacking but they’re stacking in different ways Dylan using the off the court method JD using the in.

The court method goodbye two stop come on a side out very much needed as JW and Dylan are down here in game number two good angle there by time that’s just a smart shot these guys are so good on the defense even have a really hammered.

Overhead if you can use that angle come on oh and that ball just drops in for the side out that was nice nice shot by y j to use the Top Spin and not hit it too hard it in what a hands battle here in Grand stand court and finally a point added on this.

Side out the crowd look at this crowd Michelle not just standing room only but sitting room only yeah we’re stacking them three deep on one side standing room and it looks like timeout by job and Dylan that caught us by surprise didn’t you see that.

Yeah all right you guys we’re going to go ahead and take a quick break here in game two don’t go anywhere the World of Tomorrow sustainable and desirable reconciling human progress and environment protection Folia.

welcome back to the skirk Red Rock open presented by pickle ball Central JW Johnson to serve and the offensive timeout did not work there let’s see if they could catch up right here on the second serve don’t want to give him free points.

Point a chance to climb back the offensive timeout proving to work as they gain two points here right now right now let’s go get some point on there’s that uh ball we saw in game number one we had seen it for a while they’ve been doing it Tyler and johy have been doing a good job of keeping it.

Down when going to Jay’s backand up by three had a ball he can handle o Mis return couple of those for TI this game oh come on that is some ridiculous defense there by Dy job and with ridiculous defense comes uh an amount of.

Pressure where you want to perfect those shots and end it and here we go on a run in game number two may see a timeout here we do and uh PPA has done a tremendous job here um you know we we’re working on on giving you this live feed here on Grand sand court but something I love is.

That you could hear you know sometimes you could hear what’s going on on the sidelines and what’s going on in the courts and and uh both teams opting out right now on the on the discussions but it’s something that you could also hear on Grand sand Court I love listening to what’s going on on the sidelines there.

Got to lean in we’re pretty close to the court here we’re only about maybe 10 12 ft from the court about 4T from the player’s chairs they come off kind of a momentum shift here Tyler and J had control of this game out and the momentum continues JW.

Johnson it’s three serve return Errors By Tyler this game three of their eight points yeah come on come on again one more let’s go one more come on you got it and a Miss D from Tyler Le giving Dylan Fraser and JW Johnson a three-point lead.

Here in game number two I think they have one more timeout left thought we might have seen it right there and the match goes to Dylan Frasier and JW Johnson as they win in two and uh Tyler’s going to need a new paddle W that one did not survive wow the matches here on grandstand Court.
