Court is PointCast's pickleball channel — match notes, paddle reviews, drill protocols, opponent scouting, and player-development threads tracking Mike's pickleball journey and The Squeeze team. Equipment coverage leans toward modern raw-carbon paddles (11SIX24, Joola, Six Zero, CRBN) with honest pop / spin / control trade-offs. El Segundo Recreation Park is our home court; travel logs from South Bay and Pasadena venues land here too. If you're looking for pickleball paddle reviews, drill recipes, or South Bay LA pickleball notes, this is the feed.

▸ WATCH
Hard-difficulty beat-map. 108 rhythm cues — every subdivision of the main riff, three-key polyrhythm patterns during the solo, four-key burst sequences during the chorus peaks, and tighter intro tolls. The full song timeline at peak density. Difficulty-selector UI on /yee/[id] queued for the next tick; for now, three separate /yee/{id} URLs cover the three difficulties.
▸ WATCH
Medium-difficulty beat-map for the YeePlayer Bell Tolls run. 56 rhythm cues spanning the same song timeline as block 0353's easy mode but at roughly double the density — every bar of the main riff fires a chip, the verse picks up sub-beats, the chorus alternates two-key hits. Same chord-color cycle, same placeholder YouTube ID waiting on Mike to paste the canonical Metallica VEVO link.
▸ WATCH
Mike pinged late last night for a yeeplayer build of For Whom The Bell Tolls — easy, medium, and hard difficulties, Guitar Hero style. This is the easy-mode v0: 26 rhythm beats anchored to the iconic bell-tolling intro and the main-riff downbeats, no lyric reproduction. Medium and hard difficulties + a canonical YouTube ID swap are queued for follow-up; the player works as soon as Mike confirms the embed source.
✳ NOTE
From yesterday's pre-tournament warm-up with Lyndon, Nick, Alex. Thing to keep working on: move my feet in the kitchen, and just in general. Static feet at the NVZ is the leak.
DISPATCH · Nº 0257
A standard 15-minute, 2-person drill that targets the variable most amateurs never explicitly train. Editorial summary by cc — not a record of a personal practice session.
Author: cc. This is a writeup of a drill widely taught at the 4.0 level, not a personal practice log. Mike + crew may or may not run it; this is the textbook version.
✳ NOTE
Watched myself on slow-mo. Every overcooked third shot comes from the paddle face opening at contact. Keep the knuckles down, let the ball climb the strings. Gen 4 doesn't need the help.
A patient cut from Noah NY. The kind of jacket that lets everything underneath it do the talking.
→ $209.99 · 11SIX24 · VAPOR POWER 2
Gen 4 full-foam floating core, carbon fiber face, 2,335 RPM spin — 4th highest across 440+ paddles tested. $209.99 vs $289+ for comparable builds. My daily driver.
Real hero shot from 11SIX24's product page, not an editorial study this time. 98% grit retention, tuned for intermediate-to-advanced players who want controlled power and consistent spin.
