Thanks to former Top LPRA PRO Kersten Hallander (AustinNRG) for this photo. Kersten thinks it is circa 2002 taken in San Diego at the annual Sorrento Valley Paddleball Tournament.

From L to R:
Steve Keely, Marty Hogan, Charlie Brumfield ("The Holder"), Bill Stevens, Kersten Hallander, Joe Siemienowski and a person to be named later.

Now that's a great shot! I love the wooden paddles.

I can't wait to get back to Sorrento Valley for another paddleball tournament.

Me too! Several in the Michigan pball contingent are making their own sticks - made from actual stick. There's nothing like the loud "pop" of a handcrafted Kirkconnell paddle...

I still have a box of Pitcher's in my garage. The new composite paddles from The Paddle Co are awesome and I have to say they do give you an edge.

Maybe we should get the NPO to do a wooden paddle only tournament!

Yeah, that's why I play an Iceman... 'cause I need every edge I can muster. But it is amazing what some of the elite players can do with those holey fraternity spankers!

Now, just a little more edge, here and there each season, and before you know it - we've got a full-on tech war with rollers and FAT zones and unobtanium and fireballs - we'll be playing rball!
