Yesterday my partner and I came first place in our county rec league! We’ve been playing for 6 weeks against some good competition and it all came down to the final tournament yesterday. Locking in on diet and training the past couple weeks has definitely helped me get here! Ps. I’m rewarding myself with a paddle upgrade. I currently use the Honolulu J2K and love it but want to try something new. I prefer a control feel so any recommendations will be helpful!

Gotta figure out a way to kick this addiction
