Doung’s serve gave Staksrud no problems. Staksrud’s anticipation and quickness on defense surprised Doung. Maybe the paddle dropped some winners for Staksrud, but he definitely has his number with or without the paddle.
Quang made zero adjustments. Fed served to his forehand (and wide from the even box) followed up by a dipper to the backhand. And mini-lobbing over his forehand in cat and mouse, Quang would be totally unable to get there, or go right back up the line. Half the points were near carbon copies of a few patterns.
The Gen 3 ability really shows when Fed just lunges, takes a stab at the ball, and it just flies back over the net. That's the propulsion core. Gen 3's will be winning every singles tournament very soon and other companies will have to match Joola. Kinda sucks for the game though.
Quang “Long” Duong couldn’t find a forehand all match. Tough to beat Fed when you’re missing 5 returns in a single game and getting passed so consistently.
This is bad. These idiots banned CRBN paddle in the middle of the tournament saying the grit is higher than the allowed limit and now Joola is good?? kidding me right?
From Quang’s Instagram story after his loss: “Well i dont really feel bad at all bc i played my. heant out legally. The courtis slippery and the paddle well i leave it there. Look at all the joola gen 3 players last 2 tournaments”
@@ScottT109 Fed would've still won but Q averages 3-4 pts per game against Fed. That Mod TA-15 paddle is one of the best paddles atm. When you're at the top, every edge makes a difference
say it with me guys.... FEDERICO. FEDERICO. FEDERICO. I LOVE YOU KING FEDERICO. YOU ARE MY IDOL I WANT TO BE LIKE YOU AND LIVE LIKE YOU. YOU ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN MY LIFE AND I DON'T KNOW HOW I COULD LIVE WITHOUT YOUR INFLUENCE ON MY PICKLEBALL TECHNIQUE.
I thought the same thing!!! There is something wrong with your mental game if you need affirmation after every point from your coach or dad. I'm not playing anywhere near this level, but I never look over to my wife or family after every point in the tournament. There's something weak about it. 🤔
Staksrud has spent lots of months studying how ben plays and copied his style and in his own words it works great for him to model himself on Ben. He has been winning a lot with Ben like look and game
Joola pros except CJ, BJ and AB, been using the MOD TA-15 since the Gen 3 got banned. Quang Duong had a bad, if not horrible day. Couldn't find a forehand, many missed returns
Clearly Fed would have won the match. But to win at this rate and scoreline I do think there's something with the paddle. Just my conspiracy, if it's true tho then it's pretty concerning
Fedrico is the best now. that was an incredible match. quan looked like a beginner. He exposed quan and his game. Fredrico wins because the mental is now high. I expect him to beat johns. Most players out there do not understand the mental side of sports. Pickleball has yet to catch up because guys are becoming pros in a matter of a year or two. So the physical is there but the mental fortitude has to be developed and takes more that two years. Look at Nadal his mental maturity never stopped growing. Djokavic tooked 6 years before it all came together. Federer didnt hit his stride until 2005 . Johns and Fedrico are the two that compete like consumate professional. The rest have to catch up.
Yeah, Fed’s paddle is why he double pickled all non Joola players in the tournament (not 🙄), let alone Ben Johns as it is well known he doesn’t play with a real gen 3 Joola…
Wow , thank you Joola for messing up the beautiful game of Pickleball with your ilegal paddles , they should call this one the bazooka , Fed is a good player that don’t need that garbage in his hands
OK, I agree paddle issue may be there, but QD's forehand had some recurring problems during this match. I mean, how many net hits he permitted? Hope he gets back his forehand drive form soon.
Pickleball is a great sport but there are very few rallies from the baseline. If, in pickleball, the player receiving the serve were allowed to go to the net until the fourth hit, and not on the second hit, the baseline game would be more stable and the matches would become much more interesting. What do you thing about that?
At that point, might as well just remove the two bounce rule. It would give the advantage back to the server as well as change the players' approach to both serves and returns. As it stands, returns are free b/c the server is stuck at the baseline. Not to mention, games would go by quicker
Doung’s serve gave Staksrud no problems. Staksrud’s anticipation and quickness on defense surprised Doung. Maybe the paddle dropped some winners for Staksrud, but he definitely has his number with or without the paddle.

Double Duong !

one return was short and sat there in the mid court, others were long. Can't give an inch at this high of a level.
Hahahah

The Mod TA-15 has a pretty smooth shallow grit surface and produces less spin than the delisted Joola Gen 3 paddles.
@@kabob21 Not by very much though, I think the RPM difference is like 100 to 150 RPM, not a noticeable enough gap

I’m not buying the story that joola gen3 is what won the match.

SOUR GRAPES
Mod TA 15 won this game, congrats!
I watched this match in person and Fed signed my Mod TA-15 paddle after the match.

that paddle is insane. i hit with one last night and the shape you get with it is ridiculous.
Federico Strongggg!!!!! galaxyyyyyyy!!!
Quang has one speed. Drive... and Federico has no problem blocking all his drives.

what paddle Fedrico uses? Is it a Joola?? which one? Same as Ben?
@8:41 Commentator: "Quang Duong seems to struggle more with someone who plays with a Gen 3 paddle than Ben Johns playing with a Gen 2"
@@vincek7227 I’ve never played with a gen 3, but if even the commentators are bringing it up, theres got to be something to it.
That's a Gen 3 Joola win right there. Fed wasn't doing that the last couple tournaments.
You mean Gen 4?
Duong had opportunities but played poorly
@@brittanyblassingill Yes
He’s been using the Gen 3 alpha all year, the new mod joolas are the same thing lol
@@Bob_DaBuilder-i3xGuess everybody should buy one then if they are as good as you think they are, Ben has yet to use one….
Passing after passing, beautiful.
Fed just literally couldn’t miss this game! Give the guy the credit!
Selkirk needs to make a power paddle
Why is everyone rushing to the net?
Should extend the width and length to have more baseline rallies
No baseline rallies 😟
What is the commentator Talking about he used the same paddle in a different colorway
This is where Dad says "son, you may need to think about college."
Staksrud is his father now
Can anyone help me clarify why Fed get the third point?
It was called out and confirmed by the ref.
Ko cho 1 điểm nào luôn ….. 😢
Wasn’t expecting this score, kinda embarrassing at the pro level
The new Joola looks powerful. Better change you sponsor, Duong! 😁
Duong better find a new paddle…..
Staks is not a likable guy. And joolas paddles should be banned. So dumb
After what he yelled at ALW on court when she was only 16, he's dead to me. Absolute garbage human being.

yeah Fed style is not possible to win this far without a Gen 3 paddle
Ben John's can play power but is not a power player like Federico is.

Duong could not get his returns deep so he got punished
There's no way Fed is hitting it with that much more power and spin than Duong. But he is.

He’s been using the same paddle all year. The new joolas are the gen 3 alphas which he has been using all year
Fed needed the gen 3 to beat my GOAT
Duong looks like he's above the waist on the serve
The pace of Duong serve is not a big deal like Tennis.
You just hit the ball up higher make sure its in the court, that is it. Simple.
Pickleball is a great sport but there are very few rallies from the baseline.
If, in pickleball, the player receiving the serve were allowed to go to the net until the fourth hit, and not on the second hit, the baseline game would be more stable and the matches would become much more interesting.
What do you thing about that?
Women's singles have a lot more baseline rallies and it's pretty good, if you're curious
I think there are enough extra rules in PPA
At that point, might as well just remove the two bounce rule. It would give the advantage back to the server as well as change the players' approach to both serves and returns. As it stands, returns are free b/c the server is stuck at the baseline. Not to mention, games would go by quicker
Tod should be banned like other gen 3. Too much advantage.
What did Tod do? He seemed like such a nice guy 🫠
Sour grapes, Fed could have beat him with a wooden paddle
