"Whats this guys DUPR" Is probably the best compliment you can get during one of these👍🏻
Thanks for giving us The Bird on April Fools Day! Love the flapping.
6:43 Zane goes back to using his ProXR paddle and promotes it on his website.
Honestly the biggest advantage that comes from these paddles is the shame and humiliation your opponents will feel when you start winning with them.
Almost forgot what day it is today 😜
Dude...I've been waiting to see these Bird paddles in the hands of actual players. Fantastic. Thanks for that video. Confirmed what I thought. They're fine for rec players. But no way a pro would use that thing in a tournament.
I look forward to cheering “twee-twoo!” and “caw-caw!” On your upcoming matches! Let’s go Birbs!
That Bird paddle is 🔥
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bro right
Did you mean the bird paddle is 💩?
Love these vids!
So accurate! Absolute awesomeness!
April fools!
I fell for it.
I thought of an idea for your Pros vs 5.0s… the one side has HUGE (1’) white lines effectively expanding the court. Line calls galore!
Where is the link to buy this bird paddle?
Lmao amazing April fools joke🤣🤣🤣
Try using the Gearbox elongated pro power pickleball paddle
you may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.
OK, I knew it was a joke to leave ProXR at first but did not expect that kind of paddle for a replacement lol. Sorta "Demolition Man" style!
And how do you change your grip???
Love these videos. Keep them coming! 😂
The “Rub-bermaid cutting board pickleball paddle”. Fitting. No?
Must be April Fool's. He's promoting the Bird thing but still wearing the Pro XR shirt. 🤣
When he pulled out the new paddle at :23, I realized what day it was! LOL!
Great video! So funny 🤣
I feel like this might be an April Fool's Day joke. Can't be too sure.
switch would make sense.. havent seen anyone else use a proxr
Carlos’s game actually radically improved!!!!
Zane give us a 3v2. The latest Wright/Iggy match the ppa posted inspired the idea.
Well played Zane
Well played indeed! He got me!
I can't believe I fell for it. Damn you Zane!
Lol I love the hacksaw grip
I heard the shots hit harder when you shout CAW CAW with each contact
i watched this half asleep and thought you were serious 😅
14:04 I think I like Nasty Neslon better
Birds the word!
Don' t mistake luck for being a goat. I cannot believe That Zane signed with them to play with that paddle
I watched this for 6 minutes thinking it was real, and that the world didn't make sense anymore
The BIRD for the WIN!!!! I knew you would become a convert! 😂
I was like what the hell! Zane, you got me! haha
ProXR watching this like 👁️👄👁️
Isn't the first rule of doubles is piling on the weakest link? I thought that their plan when they chose to let Zane to switch to a normal paddle, but it looks like they couldn't resist the urge to challenge a pro. Anyway, they won 1K. Who am I to criticize their strategy.
Thank god it was April Fools. My immediate reaction with seeing The Bird was “what the fuc*0
It took 2 days to realize this must be a joke. My first question was is that paddle usapa approved? Theñ my next question was why does the design remind me of my kitchen cutting board? Jeez i must be naive
the fact that the Falcon Elite is an actual product is baffling 🤨
🤣 best video in pickleball!!!
Hao the goat
Zane using this ridiculous paddle is basically his April Fools joke. Try using that in a PPA tournament Zane. See how far that gets you.
Good one Z...🙄
Sorry, my grip would break down. Have to squeeze it right a lot.
I'm not sold.
Carlos is the next Matt Wright
Usual pros vs 5.0s handicaps - larger NVZ, hands tied together...or using Bird paddles lol.
1/2 through the match - Zane: two Birds = too much handicap, give us 1 paddle back 🤣
Jump to 16:35 for the whooping 😂
As I’m watching this, I have to believe we will be told April Fool’s at the end of the video. There’s no way these bird paddles will become popular.
Did Zane lose on purpose just so we all don't run out and buy the Eagle?
Hilarious!
Ha Ha. Good one Zane
You had me until you showed the new paddle.
As he has a ProXR shirt on lol
You had me until you pulled that thing out lmao
You should have stayed with the soft game. See if those two could handle the bird droppings.
Hahahaha
I doubt that you would really take on this new paddle as it really looked awkward and trying to unlearn all the natural reactions that you regularly perform in match play. It looked super difficult to serve and hit aggressive ground strokes. It was an April fools joke, right?
I don’t think anyone is buying that bird paddle now 😂
America have you heard,? I've got a brand new paddle and its called the BIrd. You don't need no finesse or no personality, You just need two arms and an attitude, and Everybody dink with me, come on now Zane! Hallaluja, Whoa -- With deference to (and I pledge allegiance to) the Time! Squawk do The Bird
Had me for just 1 sec and then I remembered the date... April Fools!!!!
Shit im gullible
😂😂😂
Hahahaha😂
April fools, lemme guess lol
April fools lets go
April fools getting kicked off early I suppose
zane just ordered your paddle from xrpro..wth buddy ...prob wont play with and sell it and make a fortune...ya think
LMAO
LOL
April Fool’s??😂😂
Gearbox is superior
nice joke for 4/1
Zane, did you raid all the money from the Stop Alzheimer's Now swear jar to pay those guys? 🤣😆
Zane's paddles are overrated and overpriced
A trans paddle?
Great April fools joke. But seriously, that is the absolute worst paddle ever invited. I would rather use a 2x4 😂
😂😂😂
