This past Wednesday, the co-pilot of Fly Dubai's Flight 1073, flying from Dubai to Tel Aviv, attacked the captain and tried to crash the Boeing 737 Max, the jet plunging 14,000 feet in a matter of seconds. Passengers subdued the attacker and another pilot righted the plane with moments to spare. CBS News' @CBSMATTGUTMAN talks with some of the passengers who heroically helped avert disaster. cbsn.ws/4yqtyL7

When we started UPA-A, we knew we had to partner with the very best in the business. We saught out the most esteemed engineers, leading academic institutions, and equipment manufacturers who had done it all before. That’s what led us to @ADCSportsLogic

Playing pro pickleball! The UPA-A stamp matters. All paddles must have the stamp and model number printed on the paddle in order to be eligible for pro play. upaa.unitedpickleball.com/wp…

"Every paddle changes after play" Some get more powerful, some get less. But if you are only measuring paddles when new, you're not measuring what matters. It's why UPA-A did the research and implemented an Accelerated Break-In test into certification. upaa.unitedpickleball.com/bl…

Working hard to keep pickleball Fun, Fair, and Competitive.
The @UPAApb recently released paddle testing data that shows key differences between UPA-A standards, which govern the pro game, and USA Pickleball standards, which are broadly used across the amateur game. The numbers might surprise you. More details ⬇️ bit.ly/PaddleStandards
