Here at Georgian Bay News, we consider it a genuine privilege to celebrate and share Dawn’s unstoppable spirit and her infectious love for pickleball – and for the delightful humans who’ve made this awesome sport a phenomenon. – John Malloy
I remember saying ‘it’s just tennis for people who don’t want to run.’ Fast forward years and I’m currently researching the aerodynamic properties of different paddle grips at 2 AM. Send help, or better yet, send a partner for doubles at 7 AM!
This video is 100% accurate. Pickleball: the only sport where you can get into a heated 20-minute strategy debate with a 75-year-old grandmother named Gladys, lose 11-2, and then immediately go and grab smoothies together. Never change, pball crew!
Stage 6 is missing: When you start judging people by the sound of their ‘pop’ rather than their actual skill level. There’s no turning back once you start speaking the language of the Kitchen!
THE ROCKET™
Pure Power. Absolute Control. Zero Compromises.
Some paddles chase trends.
The Rocket was built to redefine performance.
After more than a year of relentless design, testing, and refinement, we created a paddle that pushes the limits of what’s possible—while remaining fully USA Pickleball approved. The result is a weapon unlike anything you’ve played with before.
During development, early testing revealed something rare: the Rocket’s performance profile exceeded USA Pickleball standards—not because of flaws, but because it delivered power beyond what tournament play allows. That process gave us precise insight into where the true performance ceiling lies.
From there, the Rocket was engineered with purpose.
Staying cool and focused under pressure is easy when I’m wearing IBKUL. I’m proud to represent a brand that combines high-performance sun protection with effortless and fun style. Cooler. Softer. Sun-Safe.
