Hi ,
I recently returned to Southern California after 14 years in Europe, and what I saw on the local courts was a massive wake-up call for tennis lovers.
Pickleball isn't just growing; it’s changing how people think about racquet sports.
In my latest blog post, I talk about:
- Why players are choosing the "smaller" court.
- The "gratification" factor that tennis is currently missing.
- The 3 specific rule changes I believe tennis must adopt to stay competitive in a world with shorter attention spans.
As a coach, I love the tradition of tennis, but we have to adapt or risk being left behind.

Whether you choose tennis, pickleball, or padel, the fastest way to bridge the gap between "beginner" and "competitor" is through repetition.
Practicing with a ball machine is the ultimate shortcut. It builds muscle memory and footwork faster than casual match play because the feed is consistent.
My personal favorite is the PongBot Pace S Pro. It’s an AI-powered machine that is excellent for solo practice across tennis, pickleball, and padel. It’s portable, smart, and the best "hitting partner" I’ve found for staying sharp on your own schedule.

Enjoy tennis,
