A new JOOLA video series called "Two Zeroes and a pro" is highlighting the players and stories from PPA Challenger events.
The PPA Challenger Series, which launched earlier this year, is designed to give lower level pros and aspiring amateur players a shot at earning PPA Tour rankings points and cash prizes.
Think of it like the NBA G League or the minor leagues in baseball.
There are more than a dozen stops nationwide, and JOOLA is going behind the scenes at the tournaments to document the stories of up-and-coming pros as they grind for cash and get all-important reps away from the spotlight.
The first episode of the show debuted last month. It follows two "pickleball newbs" -- Corey and Isang (DUPR: 0.0) -- on the road with JOOLA pickleball pro and trainer Josh Jenkins (DUPR: 5.7). They visit Portland, Maine, for a Challenger Series event and dive headfirst into the world of pro pickleball.
What follows is a blend of unfiltered, candid and fun takes with a seasoned pickleball lifer and two guys just trying to understand it all.
The crew will be back on the road next week for the PPA Challenger Series stop in Fairport, New York. They will also be at the Orlando PPA Challenger event in September and possibly one other event before then.
