In this episode in the Oldish series The Dinking Game, co-hosts Dr Janet Price and Gregg Kaloust have a lively conversation about the Transition Zone in Pickleball, that area, sometimes called No Man's Land, between the back line and the non-volley zone (aka The Kitchen), and relate it to real life, and to Buddhist teacher Pema Chödrön's Groundlessness. Get into your ready position, and give it a listen!

Dr Janet gives a shoutout to Erin McHugh, author of the bestseller Pickleball is Life, with whom we had a fun conversation about pickleball and...life, last year. If you haven't yet, listen now.

Gregg is very excited about his new Tyrol Pickleball shoes. They are lightweight, sturdy, comfortable, and with their exclusive Vibram soles should last much longer on the outdoor courts than his old shoes did. You can check them out at Tyrol Pickleball.
