The Dink Pickleball

What To Do When You Get Iced Out?

The St. Louis Shock used a brutal isolation strategy to keep Anna Leigh Waters out of mixed doubles points at the MLP Cup — feeding over 80% of balls to Jorja Johnson and two-thirds of shots to Noe Khlif instead. Zane and Nico break down the numbers, debate whether the Shock tipped their hand too early, and dig into whether Jorja and New Jersey can adjust before the next meeting. Zane also references his YouTube breakdown on how isolated players should respond: "They Isolate You On Purpose, Here's How to Stop It" — check it out on his channel for the full visual breakdown. Plus: a quick hit on Ben Johns and Jade Kawamoto's rematch with Hayden Patriquin and Anna Bright, and what's coming this week out of MLP San Diego. 🗳️ Vote on our Cereal Draft in the Pro Pickleball Talk Discord → https://www.discord.gg/JxEcUZ54z 📩 Subscribe to our free newsletter for everything that matters in pickleball: https://subscribe.thedinkpickleball.com 📚 Be the first to try Zane's new course here: https://www.tzpickleball.com/ #Pickleball #PPATour #PickleballPodcast Leave your voicemail for the PicklePod at (512) 200 - 4299 ------------------ Like the ep?
