Men take high percentages of available shots in mixed doubles. It's fine but a bit difficult to explain/get used to
Will a tournament run which has different paddle rules for the two sexes? For example women can use any pro legal paddle but men can only use gen2 or earlier
Simple to implement and would have interesting strategic effects
Tournament must have at least 20 teams entered and play pickleball. Pro/ama okay. No prize money required. But must implement a rule which, more than current or then day pro, specifically gives women a paddle equipment advantage.
For me I think it'd be fun and allow more specialization. Obviously the different level could be calibrated by looking at player behavior
