There's no escape! The PickleBros return to the nagging subject of DUPR this week to ponder a new species in pickleball: The DUPR Dodger. Have you spotted them in the wild on your neighborhood courts? They're the DUPR-driven players who won't join your league events because every hundredth of their ratings might be at risk. Defensible or dicey? Pragmatic protection or over-the-top obsession? PickleBros make their calls. How about you?

Alright, all you trigger-happy ballers: This episode is for you. The PickleBros get fast and furious this week as they focus on the where, when, how, and why of speeding up the ball at the kitchen. Do you have a favorite target? Is the best defense a good offense? Is full speed ahead always the best plan? Should a beta ever wield his secret speed-up weapon or let the alpha assert absolute dominance? As always: Don't miss some instant classic beefing...including the first ever beef hijacking and a searing beef about the New York Post's anti-pickleball fear-mongering! Hilarity and chaos ensue. #pickleball
