spot. I relay liked it. This is the best product I've seen on
the market." (Michael Ward, General Manager of the John

SaltStick
Why tennis players need
electrolytes
Five electrolytes in particular play a pivotal role in maintaining
normal human muscle function: sodium, potassium, magnesium, calcium,
and chloride. A shortage of any of these electrolytes will affect
athletic performance through a range a subtle to serious side
effects. Cramping is a common side effect of low electrolyte
levels in tennis players. Replacing the full spectrum of electrolytes
through a source such as SaltStick can help reduce cramping during
training and performing.
Sweat typically
has about 1000 mg sodium/liter, a typical sports drink has 440
mg sodium/liter. If, during the course of training, you ingest
nothing but sports drinks (or worse, water), you will become
hyponatremic at some point. Many sports drinks also do not address
any form of supplementation of the other key electrolytes, potentially
causing yet further cramping and muscle issues.
How SaltStick can help
you improve your tennis results
What is lost in sweat should be replaced by your electrolyte
capsules in a quantity and form which your body can absorb. SaltStick®
Caps have been formulated to provide your body with a balanced
electrolyte content in the suggested serving of 1 capsule per
30-60 minutes. Two SaltStick Caps in an hour equate to 430 mg
sodium, 126 mg potassium, 22 mg magnesium, and 44 mg calcium
per hour: The ideal ratio to keep you moving.

magnesium. Contains 30 mg caffeine per capsule as a legal ergogenic
boost.

The only chewable tablet that is formulated to closely resemble
the electrolyte profile lost in sweat: sodium, potassium, calcium

New Pickleball
Gear
Contributing
writer Matt Olsen from Pickleball
Portal
provides us with this update on new pickleball paddle offerings
from two well-known pickleball manufacturers, both released in
the first month of 2018:
Were always
on the lookout for new gear in the growing sport of pickleball.
During the first months of the year, there is often a lull coming
off the peak of the holiday retail season when we dont
see many new products being released. However, this year the
month of January has been a good one for pickleball fans.
Two well-known
paddle manufacturers, ProLite and Selkirk, have made updates
to their existing product lines.
Although pickleball
is known for dinking (a series of soft short shots
that drop just over the net while players play up close to the
No Volley Zone), the sport has evolved and spin is becoming a
more integral part of the pickleball skill set.
As more tennis
players migrate to pickleball we are seeing harder, faster serves
and more spin on the ball. This has raised demand for paddles
with textured surfaces since traditional glossy paddle faces
lack any kind of bite needed to impart spin.
Manufacturers
have responded with new paddles specifically designed to increase
spin. The Rebel PowerSpin paddle by Pro-lite made waves in the
industry when it was released in 2017 with its textured PowerSpin
paddle surface. The Rebel has since become a very popular all
around paddle but especially for players looking to add extra
spin to their shots.
Weighting in at just under 8 ounces, the paddle packs plenty
of power but still has a balanced feel for control and finesse
at the net and a 16 inch paddle face provides plenty of reach.
These characteristics, along with its premium comfort grip and
textured face landed it on our shortlist of best pickleball paddles for spin.
This new Rebel
that ProLite just released in 2018 is really a cosmetic makeover,
since at its core the paddle remains the same. The original Rebel
was launched in three versions, all with pretty wild colorful
paddle faces. This new version has a much more subdued look with
muted colors that will appeal to players looking for a more discrete
look on the pickleball court.
The other major
news in January 2018 was the launch of new lightweight and mid
weight paddle lines by Selkirk Sport using their new AMPED paddle
technology. In 2017 Selkirk released a paddle line using a new
patent pending paddle technology they call the X5 Core. There
has been a lot of buzz around the new FiberFlex paddle face and
the unibody polymer core which is noticeably thicker than most
other paddles.
The one drawback
to the new line was that overall they are on the heavy side of
the spectrum, while the extra boost is great for power hitting
bangers it may not be so appealing for players that
play a slower, controlled style game who are looking for lighter
paddles.
On Jan 23rd,
Selkirk launched new versions of these paddles designed for players
still want the new X5 core but are looking for lighter options.
The lightweight paddles average 7.3-7.7 ounces and the midweight
paddles range from 7.8-8.3 ounces.
With the new
expansion of the AMPED line, Selkirk now provides this same core
option in three separate weight classes. The technology was introduced
in the the following paddles:
Selkirk Epic,
Selkirk Maxima, Selkirk S2 and the Selkirk Omni. These new lightweight
and midweight options really round out the AMPED line with options
for all types of players.
You can keep
up to date with all newly released pickleball paddles and new pickleball
equipment here.
We update the page regularly with all new major pickleball product
releases.
The US Open Pickleball Championships has traditionally been
the main annual event for pickleball brands to showcase their
new paddles with many new paddles launched at the weeklong tournament.
The 2018 Open takes place in Naples FL from April 21-28, 2018
so we are looking forward to seeing what new gear is in store
for pickleball players. |
