Pickleball just had one of its most controversial moments ever…
This week on the PicklePod, Nico and Zane break down the viral line call from PPA Hanoi that has the entire pickleball world debating:
👉 Was it in or out?
👉 Was it cheating… or just inconclusive?
Plus:
- What it was REALLY like at PPA Hanoi 🇻🇳
- Why pickleball is exploding internationally
- The biggest differences between US vs Asia pickleball
- Crowd, production, and event takeaways
- Why pickleball still doesn’t have line judges
And yes… we also talk about fake Easter eggs and brutal April Fools jokes.
👇 Sound off in the comments:
Was the ball IN or OUT?
