AMA: Santhosh from Speedup Pickleball. Pro Player, Coach, and CEO of a Paddle Company
Hey Reddit, Santhosh here.
I'm the founder and CEO of Speedup Pickleball, a performance paddle brand I started while working a 9-5. I recently left to go all in on it! I'm also a professional pickleball player and coach based in the Bay Area, so I live this sport from every angle.
Really excited to be here today. I'm an open book. Paddle tech, the design process, what it actually takes to run a small paddle company, the pro game, coaching, how to level up your game. Nothing is off limits.
We just launched the Tide Series, our best reviewed paddle yet. Three shapes (14L, 14H, 14S), $169.99, and players who have gotten their hands on it have been really happy.
Giving away one Tide paddle to someone in this thread. Upvote and leave a comment, that's it. Question, opinion, hot take, doesn't matter.
The AMA will be open for 24 hours and I will be answering throughout the day! Looking forward to the questions!
