Welcome to Episode 71 of the James Ignatowich Show. This episode is dedicated to discussing the importance of the two-handed backhand in mixed doubles pickleball. The two-handed backhand can be more useful in mixed doubles than in men's doubles, because it allows for more creativity and offense. James shares his strategy for the two-handed backhand, how it allows for more speed and power shots, and how the shot in mixed doubles is specifically different from single or doubles pickleball. There are advantages to playing on the right side when you are a right-handed male player in mixed doubles and it's important that female players learn to earn points from the right side.

Welcome to Episode 70 of the James Ignatowich Show! In this episode, James discusses advantages and disadvantages of a righty and lefty playing pickleball on the same team. He also talks about things that could make men's doubles more exciting (and what would get more people to watch?), the differences between men's doubles, women's doubles, and mixed doubles, and why it could be a good idea for different paddle standards to be implemented for men and women. James also covers some pickleball strategy, including the power of the drive and crash play, coverage from the middle, and the effectiveness of a two-handed backhand cross-court topspin roll dink.

Welcome to Episode 69 of the James Ignatowich Show! In this episode, James talks about playing at the PPA Sacramento Open, where he partnered with Ben Johns (and did not win!) and Anna Bright.

He also discusses the importance of your pickleball paddle position in transition, the challenges of playing on the right side of the court, and why it's so important to continue learning and experimenting in pickleball.
