## Resource

In this episode of Certified McNasty, Matt Manasse reveals his secret training sessions at Jamie Foxx’s house as Jamie prepares for the upcoming Mookie Betts charity event. Matt breaks down the specific 3-lesson plan he’s using to sharpen Jamie’s kitchen play, air attacks, and backhand dinks. We also recap the high-stakes action at MLP Dallas, where Ben Johns silenced the critics by going undefeated the entire weekend. Matt shares his experience playing with tennis legend and former Junior #1 Donald Young, explaining the mechanics of the "Dingwalls" game and the difficulty of adjusting from heavy tennis swings to compact pickleball strokes. Finally, we look at the launch of Tipty—the new "no-noise" foam ball sport—and debate whether the sport needs more "Rolex-level" luxury and status to reach the next level.
