I'm a 4.629 DUPR using a $40 Trainer paddle in a 4.0 tournament - Austin, TX

This isn't your average pickleball tournament. I'm spicing things up by playing with the Gherkin G Spot trainer paddle. I'm putting all the stakes on the table by still using my real DUPR account. Why? I have no good reason at all except to just have fun. Let me know if you're into this kind of content!

This is a Liveball tournament by Remus - I'm a huge fan of his tournaments. They're always packed with many games at a low affordable price. Find more tournaments at https://app.fluidpb.com/

About Me - "Paul Lee Pickleball"

My username, eellaup, was actually supposed to be my name backwards (paul lee). But middle school me wasn't very smart and so it's slightly mispelled. I know it's hard to remember and spell and I appreciate everyone who bears with it!

A friend got me into a pickleball by asking me to join a tournament with him since his partner bailed last minute. I borrowed his paddle and we ended up winning that tournament. This was June 22nd, 2024. That same day I went home and bought my very first paddle. From there on, it's history :)
