Salt Lake City, UT – February 6, 2026 – The Picklr, North America’s fastest-growing indoor pickleball franchise, today announced it has formally standardized on the Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating (DUPR) and DUPR Coach as its exclusive global rating system. This landmark decision empowers The Picklr’s nationwide P4 Certified Coaches and franchise partners to deliver accurate, universal player ratings while providing transformative education, new revenue opportunities, and a unified player development pathway.

Between 2025 and 2026, up to 400 Picklr P4 Certified Coaches will be onboarded into the DUPR Coach program, ensuring every facility is equipped with expert, credentialed professionals capable of running DUPR rating sessions, implementing the DUPR system, and integrating players of all skill levels into the global rating ecosystem. Currently, there are more than 2,000 DUPR Coaches worldwide, with approximately 200 serving as Picklr P4 Coaches, starting with at least two at each location. This makes The Picklr the largest franchise network fully aligned on DUPR and DUPR Coach to date.

“The decision to fully embrace DUPR and DUPR Coach reflects our commitment to player development, coaching excellence, and the growth of the sport,” said Jorge Barragan, CEO and Co-Founder of The Picklr. “By standardizing ratings across every Picklr facility, we are creating a truly universal language of pickleball, giving players, coaches, and clubs the tools to grow, compete, and measure progress consistently, no matter where they are.”

The DUPR Coach integration is fully aligned with The Picklr’s P-Series development framework, which guides players from first engagement to elite competition across P1–P4 levels. P4 Certified Coaches leverage DUPR Coach alongside Wingfield Assessments, a 24-shot AI-powered evaluation that provides precise performance insights, video analysis, and DUPR rating integration. Together, DUPR Coach and Wingfield Assessments allow coaches to run structured rating sessions, track measurable outcomes, and accelerate skill development, ensuring players at every level are accurately rated and connected to resources that support improvement and competitive readiness.

“The collaboration between The Picklr P4 Coach program and DUPR Coach is a game-changer for our coaches and players,” said Matt PaneGasser, Vice President of Pickleball at The Picklr. “It allows us to educate our coaches on delivering meaningful rating sessions, implement a consistent global system, and bring players into a verified, universally recognized rating pathway. DUPR Coach is not just a tool—it’s an engine for growth for the sport and for our franchise communities. Coaches engage with players, provide lessons, and guide them through a clear, measurable development pathway, and players get a true starting point for their journey.”

The Picklr Franchise owner and DUPR Coach JP Parker added, “Being able to offer Coach-Assigned DUPR Ratings has elevated our programs and leagues. I run and operate DUPR education classes, Coach-Assigned DUPR Rating Sessions, DUPR-gated leagues, and open play at my Picklr clubs because of the value they bring to our communities. It drives engagement, improves competition, and opens new revenue opportunities. DUPR and DUPR Coach empower our team to deliver a professional, standardized experience that benefits players, coaches, and club operations alike. It is my main revenue generator and keeps people engaged consistently.”

The Picklr currently operates over 50 locations nationwide and recently announced plans to expand to 80 additional facilities across nearly a dozen states, with international efforts in Asia, Australia, and Europe. With the combined power of the P4 Coach and DUPR Coach programs, The Picklr is uniquely positioned to standardize player ratings at scale, support the growth of the sport, and create a clear, measurable pathway for players of all levels, from recreational to competitive.

With the alignment of P4 Certified Coaches and DUPR Coach, The Picklr sets a new industry standard for excellence in coaching, player development, and competitive integrity, solidifying its position as the largest franchise network dedicated to advancing pickleball through universal ratings and elite coaching.

If you’re serious about improving your pickleball rating, competing in pickleball tournaments, or climbing the pickleball rankings, your grip is one of the first fundamentals you need to dial in.

A proper continental grip gives you better control, cleaner contact, and more consistency, without having to swing harder. And the best part? You don’t need fancy techniques or complicated adjustments.

Let’s break down the two easiest, most effective ways to hold your paddle the right way.

Why Your Pickleball Grip Matters

Before we get into how to grip the paddle, let’s talk about why it matters.

A correct pickleball grip helps you:

• Control the paddle face on dinks, volleys, and drives
• React faster at the kitchen line
• Reduce mishits and unforced errors
• Transition smoothly between shots without changing grips

Tip #1: The Hammer Grip

The easiest way to find a proper pickleball grip? Pretend you’re holding a hammer.

How it works:

• Pick up your paddle like you’re about to pound a nail
• Keep your grip relaxed, not tight
• Your hand should feel natural and neutral

This grip prevents you from over-rotating the paddle face and helps you stay consistent across shots.

Why it works: The hammer grip keeps your wrist mobile and your paddle square, key elements for clean contact and control.

Tip #2: The Handshake Grip

Another simple trick: give your paddle a handshake.

How it works:

• Hold your paddle like you’re shaking someone’s hand
• The paddle face should be perpendicular to the ground
• Your thumb and index finger form a relaxed “V” along the handle

If this grip feels familiar, that’s a good sign, it’s the same grip most high-level players use for serves, returns, dinks, and volleys.

Pro insight: The handshake grip and hammer grip are essentially the same thing, two different ways to find a neutral, all-purpose pickleball grip.

Key Takeaway

You don’t need a different grip for every shot in pickleball.

A continental grip works across:

• Serves and returns
• Dinks and drops
• Volleys and speed-ups

Constantly changing grips slows you down, and in competitive pickleball, reaction time matters

Common Grip Mistakes to Avoid

Even experienced players fall into these habits:

• Gripping too tight: leads to pop-ups and poor touch
• Pan-handle grip: limits topspin and control
• Over-adjusting mid-rally: causes late contact

Fixing your grip is one of the fastest ways to clean up your game, without changing your swing.

Success on the court is built on control and solid fundamentals. As you refine your skills and let your game evolve, remember to track your journey and log your latest scores on the DUPR app to see where you stand.

February 4, 2026, World Cancer Day

On World Cancer Day, DUPR (Dynamic Universal Pickleball Rating) announced a partnership with world-record holders and DUPR Coaches Angelo A. Rossetti and Ettore Rossetti to launch a new community-driven initiative supporting cancer survivors through the sport of pickleball. Aligned with the 2025–2027 World Cancer Day theme, “United by Unique,” the initiative reflects a shared commitment to finding new ways to create impact together.

The Pickleball Volley Challenge invites participants from across the pickleball community to challenge the 113-volley, one-minute record set by the Rossetti Brothers. Launching on February 16, the initiative is designed to unite the sport through friendly competition while driving meaningful charitable impact, culminating on World Pickleball Day, October 10, 2026.

Participants are encouraged to:

• Record their first attempt at breaking the 113-volley record with a partner
• Donate to a cancer survivor cause through DUPR’s website
• Nominate three people each to continue the challenge and spread awareness

The challenge is intentionally simple, fun, and inclusive, making it easy for players of all levels to participate while supporting those who have fought, and are still fighting, cancer.

For the Rossetti Brothers, this cause is deeply personal. After setting the Guinness World Records™ title for the longest pickleball rally in history—16,046 shots in 6 hours and 11 minutes—their mother passed away from pancreatic cancer. Since then, Angelo and Ettore have continued to use record-breaking challenges as a platform to raise awareness and give back to cancer-related causes.

“Purpose has always come before records for us,” Angelo A. Rossetti shared. “This challenge is about honoring our mom and helping others through the power of sport and community.”

Participants are asked to use the following hashtags when sharing their videos:
#DUPRForCharity #RallyForCharity #PBVolleyChallenge

“Pickleball has an incredible ability to bring people together, and at DUPR we believe it should also be a force for good. Partnering with the Rossetti Brothers on this challenge allows our community to rally around a meaningful cause while honoring the resilience of cancer survivors.” said Tito Machado, DUPR’s CEO. 

By uniting pickleball players around a shared goal, DUPR and the Rossetti Brothers hope to spark a global movement, one volley at a time, showing how sport can be a force for good.

A look at the players who made the biggest moves in the DUPR rankings

The end of the year and start of a new season is often when breakout performances happen and December and January were no exception. From teenagers cracking the Top 50 to established pros making major jumps in new disciplines, these players didn’t just improve their game, they moved the needle in the DUPR pickleball rankings.

Here are the top DUPR risers to watch:

Singles Top Risers

Camden Chaffin

At just 14 years old, Camden Chaffin is already making waves on the pro stage. At the PPA Indoor National Championships in January, he notched impressive wins over top players Donald Young and Federico Staksrud before falling to Chris Haworth in a tight three-game quarterfinal match.

The run marked a major breakthrough for the young standout, as he cracked the Top 50 in the DUPR Men’s Singles Rankings, currently sitting at No. 34 with a 6.273 rating. Camden represents the next generation of elite pickleball talent on the rise.

Kiora Kunimoto

Speaking of next-generation talent making waves, Kiora Kunimoto is doing just that at only 17 years old. The teenager has broken into the Top 25 of the DUPR Women’s Singles Rankings, making a massive jump from a 5.469 to a 5.720 rating, good for No. 13 overall. Not bad for a teen! 

Kiora continued her strong run with a 4th-place finish in singles at the PPA National Indoor Championships in January, earning impressive wins over Hannah Blatt, Chao Yi Wang, and Brooke Buckner. Another clear sign that the future of pickleball is already here.

Keilly Ulery

Keilly Ulery has officially broken into the Top 50 of the DUPR Women’s Singles Rankings, jumping an impressive 29 spots to No. 42. Her rise has been well earned. Competing primarily on the PPA Challenger circuit, Ulery has been a consistent presence on the podium and recently captured her first singles gold medal at the PPA Tucson Challenger in January. With that breakthrough win, she’s clearly ready for the next step, and we’re excited to see more of her on the PPA Tour.

Doubles Top Risers

Christopher Haworth

In pickleball, singles and doubles are two very different games. Christopher Haworth is arguably the top men’s singles player on tour right now, and it’s been exciting to watch his rapid improvement on the doubles side as well. Haworth jumped an impressive 31 spots to No. 52 in the DUPR Men’s Doubles Rankings. sitting just outside the Top 50. His doubles game has come a long way, and a breakthrough into the Top 50 feels imminent in the next couple of months.

Riley Bohnert

Riley Bohnert has been a regular competitor on the APP Tour and has now broken into the Top 50 of the DUPR Women’s Doubles Rankings, jumping 23 spots to No. 44. Training out of South Florida, which is home to many of the sport’s elite, it’s no surprise to see a noticeable rise in her game. At just 21 years old, Bohnert still has plenty of runway ahead, and you can expect to see much more from her as she continues to develop and compete at a high level.

Nicola Schoeman

At just 18 years old, Nicola Schoeman has taken over the No. 1 spot in the DUPR Junior Girls’ Doubles Rankings. Based in Australia, she competes frequently across her home country and throughout Asia. 

Nicola has been a standout on the PPA Asia Tour, highlighted by a huge women’s doubles victory over Anna Bright and Roos van Reek at the PPA Malaysia tournament. An outstanding athlete and an even better person off the court, we hope to see more of Schoeman and ideally see her competing in America someday soon.

December and January showed us exactly why DUPR is such a powerful lens into player progression. Whether it’s teens breaking through on the pro stage or established players expanding their games into new disciplines, these risers are shaping what the next season of pickleball will look like.

Keep an eye on these names; you’ll be seeing a lot more of them in the months ahead.
