  • Host Tats welcomes pro pickleball player Jay Devilliers, who shares his journey from high-level tennis to discovering pickleball in 2019 while working at Chicken N Pickle. He initially learned through trial and error in tournaments, studying top players like Matt Wright, Ben Johns, and Simone Jardim to develop his game.

He breaks down drive-and-crash tactics, evolving strategies, and the importance of adaptability and partner chemistry in doubles.

    He also shares insights on training, injury prevention, and mindset, emphasizing staying positive, communication in partnerships, and continuously evolving to stay competitive. Jay expresses his love for team events like MLP, though he believes balancing individual and team formats will shape the sport’s future.
