Tuesday, March 24, 2026 (Court Day #917)
Last night, Mickey, from Brommer Park on Sunday, stopped by after work and picked up a couple of my demo Aireo paddles from me to try out. On Sunday, he played with one of my Titan Hawk demo paddles and loved it. This was a chance for him to play with it longer and confirm his feelings.
New Indoor Courts
It was reported that a new business hosting indoor pickleball courts is opening up in Mountain View about 45 minutes north of me.
Skypark
I arrived at skypark at 6:38 p.m. and got into assorted miscellaneous games.
Toward the end of the evening, Abhi and I teamed up won 14-12 versus Matt Babb and tall Daniel Borlean.
Daniel hit three fast serves deep to my backhand. For two of them, I was unsuccessful returning, but however, I got the third one back over the net. And it wasn’t just me, Abhi was also having a difficult time dealing with Daniel serves too. Daniel was serving extremely well.
We played again, but this time we won 11-6.
With only 8 minutes left and no takers, it was time to head home.
I left a feeling pretty happy about my play. (Starting out, not so much!) As I told Matt after my last game, “Now I’m warmed up! I’m ready to play!”
I headed out at 8:22 p.m.
Knee
I was starting to feel my right knee during the last game or two. It was not super happy with me. I’m hoping this will get better over time, but so far, it’s lingering.
