Chris Cali from the Sorry Not Sorry pickleball show has joined team Kitchen, where he’ll be breaking down all the best pro and amateur highlights from around the Picklesphere.
The PPA Tour Texas Open went down last week and we saw some crazy moments. Crashouts, body bags, upsets, egregious hooks, a triple pickle and the most insane wind you'll ever see in a tournament.
The only thing crazier than the action is Cali’s breakdown of it all. Watch above or click here.
