We have 10 courts this year, five
padel courts, a full-size tennis
court, three pickleball courts.
Um, we're up in the game.
We have some names coming this year,
uh, which is gonna be really exciting.
And we're just constantly
trying to one up ourselves, uh,
each year, which is not easy.
Hello everyone.
Welcome to Paddle Smash tv, and another
exciting episode today we have Robin
Duda, co-founder and CEO multitasking of
Racket X. And we're so excited to have
Robin with us because the racket X is
coming up in couple of weeks and she's
gonna give us all the rundown and all
the great news coming up on Rocket X.
Welcome to the Channel.
Oh, hello.
Welcome.
I'm just so enthralled by
your hosting abilities.
Uh, guys.
Uh, hi.
What's going on?
Good to be here.
Good.
Yes, Robin, so this is now
your third year, right?
Feel like I've been dipping this
with forever, I can't remember
life before Brian X. Yes.
And we, I remember inter we've interviewed
you the first year, so, um, over the
years, what, can you tell us a little
bit what has changed, uh, any pivots or
adjustments on the model, uh, uh, from
the first year to now this third year?
Yeah.
I would, we love, I mean, when
the way I designed, iterating is
so important and listening to.
Our customers.
Right?
And we have two sets of customers,
your sponsors, and then we
have our attendees who come.
So we're constantly trying to have
a feedback loop, um, in different
ways of, of hearing what they need.
Um, in terms of changes, I mean, I
hate, I'm not gonna say we didn't know
anything the first year, but we know
so much more now as we've gotten more.
Uh, you know, in, in tight
with folks in the industry.
Um, and some of the bigger changes are
we, we saw in year one, like lots of
clubs came and that was always the hope.
But that there was definitely a separate
set of information, uh, and content
that we thought that they would enjoy.
And we, last year we launched
our first ever club summit.
Which was behind closed doors
moment for, uh, a couple hundred
clubs, uh, to learn more in depth.
Right.
And then this year, you know,
as we, we saw, okay, great.
We had almost 200 clubs come to
that last year, which was amazing.
Um, the feedback from them was, we
wanna go to all of the sessions,
not pick one of three different
rooms, um, and the types of content.
So we went on the road, um, uh, with.
A, a Club City series, um, earlier this
year, and part of what we learned was, um.
Creating cultures of excellence,
staff retention is a constant
issue, uh, in the industry.
And, um, you know, we're
gonna serve people up.
Something really cool with the
Ritz-Carlton is coming in from the outside
to teach people, uh, and club owners,
operators, investors and facilities
managers on how to create cultures of
excellence using the Ritz Carlton model.
Um, so I mean, I think
that's, that's one big one.
It's, um, you know, kind of
listen and we've added from the
first year a lot more courts.
Um, we have 10 courts this year,
five peal courts, a full-size tennis
court, three pickleball courts.
Um, we're up in the game.
We have some names coming this year,
uh, which is gonna be really exciting.
And we're just constantly
trying to one up ourselves, uh,
each year, which is not easy.
Alright.
Tell, can you tell us who's coming, what
the celeb, who the celebrities are coming.
There's still, there's some that
are still not confirmed yet,
but, um, we have Terrell Owens.
Uh, former, uh, NFL Hall of Famer
will be joining us, which is exciting.
Uh, Trey Boston and his crew, uh, who
are big on the paddle side, um, Toto,
uh, is confirmed and will be coming.
Uh, BT I'd have to look.
I know we just in, they just announced
to, they're bringing, and I think
it just went out on social media,
but they're bringing a, um, a male
and a female player and a, and a big
coach, um, that are all on the tour.
Um, and they're continuing.
Oh, Kevin Anderson from the tennis
side, uh, is gonna be coming.
He's a former, uh, top five.
Um, and there's some other
surprises that'll continue to
roll out over the next nine days.
Right.
Now, your audience, do you anticipate a
bigger audience this year than last year?
I mean, I think we're, we're
thinking about about the same.
Okay.
Uh, as our hope, we had probably
close to about 5,000 last year.
Um, and we know Premier was next door next
year, so it's not lost on us that, that,
you know, certainly brought in some folks.
So I said, I think, I think that's
a, a good number for us to try
and achieve again this year.
And all signs are looking like it's gonna
be an awesome, and that brings us to any
other questions that me and Jules were,
we've been talking about is two things.
One.
Y in Fort Lau Wood Lauderdale, right?
Brower Convention Center
versus the Miami one.
And then also, um, I really love
last year how you guys did it.
We're right next to the premier.
Why, why didn't you follow that this year?
Sure.
Uh, the politically correct
answers across the board.
And there's the, uh, answers that I
have a, I have martini in front of me.
Um, you know, so there's,
there's multiple things.
So we're serving multiple markets, right?
Uh, and we're all, we're the
home court for all rocket sports.
Um.
One.
Um, there's nuances in events when
it comes to, um, booking venues.
Um, so we, we didn't have many
options in Miami, uh, that would've
worked for us, uh, for 2026.
Uh, Fort Lauderdale was just
up the road, uh, and they had
a, a great space available for.
So that was our decision on Fort
Lauderdale, coupled with folks who
are coming from all over, uh, Florida.
Uh, they're coming from all over the
world to come to Rack X, but we do
have a high concentration of folks
who are driving, taking, you know,
um, the bright line, et cetera.
Uh, and Fort Lauderdale is a little
bit easier to get in and out of
including an international airport.
Um, aside from South Beach, which
was very difficult in March, during
spring break with all of the check.
Points, et cetera, for anyone
staying not on, uh, Miami Beach.
It was a little difficult.
So all of these things coupled
together, uh, and dates that
were available, we decided to try
and go, uh, a little more north.
Okay.
Uh, in terms of Premier to an, just to,
to answer that, um, you know, we're,
we're great friends with them and we
hope that we could collaborate in the
future, but we like to have our dates,
um, as soon as the event is happening so
we can announce them, um, at the show.
Um, and, and again, we both run separate
organizations and, you know, maybe we'll
be able to collaborate in the future
again, but it just don't work out.
Um, in this year.
Now, now, do you think that's
gonna affect your audience?
Or, or, or not?
No, no.
I think that, um, and again,
we are a show for all sports.
I think we're gonna be heavier
in pickleball this year.
Um, there's definitely a
bigger tennis presence.
What we did bring in other activations,
intenses, I don't know if you guys
have heard of, of what they're doing.
They're, uh, tennis, they're
fast-paced, team-based tennis,
um, huge funding they got.
They're gonna be doing their first
ever tennis draft 'cause they actually
have draft teams and they're gonna
be, they're setting up, you're
gonna, your heads are gonna explode.
They're setting up.
It's like DJ.
Tech advance, like it's a very
cool, um, iteration of, of tennis
people are subbing in and out.
Um, they're setting up
everything at the show.
Um, and then Tip d, um, is coming as well,
which is a new sport that launched, um,
recently by, uh, Steve Bellamy, who's the
co-founder, or the, the co-founder, the
founder, former founder of Tennis Channel.
So there's a whole bunch of
new stuff that we're doing
that I think kind of, you know.
Kind of replaces some of the folks that
maybe came from, from the premier side.
Uh, so going back to, to first, uh,
to the first year, I know the first
year was a little bit, um, because
we were there, a little bit more
difficult to get the tennis brands.
But now we saw that you have the
Babylons, you have the Wilsons,
you know, you have these techn, you
have these really big brands now.
What was, uh, the change there?
How did you, how did you guys convince
them to be part of this journey?
In every business, in every industry,
there's your, um, the folks who
take the leap and they wanna, you
know, be first, uh, first movers,
and then there's laggards, right?
And then there's everybody in the
middle, and we're going into year three.
Uh, so first year was people who were
like, we're getting on this train.
We think you're gonna, we think
you're taking us two-way station.
We don't know which one,
but we're, we're signed up.
And then last year we had, you know, a,
a nice increase in the folks were like,
okay, this seems like a proven thing.
So there's some buzz around it.
And then this year you start to get some
of the, the laggard brands who have been
like, well, we're gonna come and see it.
We're not gonna invest money yet.
Um, you know, over the last two years.
And now they're like, all
right, you got, you got a thing.
We're, we're in and we're coming and we're
gonna bring some, some power with us.
So, um, I think it was time.
I think we've done a really, you
know, we've hustled our butts
off to try and make this, um, you
know, better and better every year.
We're not perfect, but I do think
that a lot of those brands also see
that we're trying to do something a
little bit different for the industry
and that it's starting to work.
So why don't you give us a, a, a, a,
a visual layout, how, you know from
the moment walking in how it's gonna
be, I know you have paddle courts,
pickleball courts, uh, tennis courts.
Why don't you give us a little bit
the, how the layout's going to be?
Yeah, you're gonna, you're gonna walk
in and you're gonna be hit in the
face with a bunch of, uh, brands,
uh, which we like, you know, your
discovery area, booth, vendor zone.
Um, we're gonna have about almost
150 brands represented this year.
Um, it's.
Just, you know, e everyone.
Um, there's a main stage which
we're calling Stage X this year,
which will be to the right.
Um, and you know, that's where
a lot of the cross industry
sessions are happening, right.
Um, the things that are kind of cool,
like, you know, how gambling is affecting,
you know, embedding is, uh, affecting,
you know, racket, sports and things
like that, we can come back to, to that.
You're gonna walk through this,
you know, high energy zone of,
of, of all of these brands.
And then you're gonna hit center port.
Um, the center port district area where
there's, uh, paddle is on one side,
pickles kind of clustered over here.
Uh, there's a full size tennis sport.
Um, and then we have a center
district called the Club Apex,
um, for certain ticket types.
There's like a VIP ish type area where
you can go and there's actual stadium,
stadium seating this year where you'll
be able to view, um, from that platform.
Tennis pickle and paddle center
courts all at the same time.
Wow.
Exciting.
So, um, tell us a little bit about,
so you're gonna be, we're gonna
be sitting right there on the VIP.
What are the different activations
that you're gonna be doing?
I mean, you're gonna
have paddle on one side.
How many paddle courts, how many
pickleball courts, how many tennis courts?
Five paddle courts, full-size tennis
court, and three pickleball this year.
Um, so, uh, they are.
Activated all day long from associations
doing certifications to, you
know, both beginner level and high
performance coaches, uh, brands who
are demoing new, uh, new equipment.
Uh, we have yoga for
racket, sports happening.
We got, like I said, intense.
We got Tiff, we're gonna have six.
Love.
We got, you know, I mean we got Xcl,
NPL, um, national Paddle League Finals.
Final matches on Sunday will be
on center, on the center court.
So, I mean, there's something
for, for everyone, um, you know,
during that time whether you've
played before, whether you're a one
sport and wanna try another one.
There's an opportunity no
matter what level you're at,
to see, to season an action.
Plus every court is outfitted with tech.
Um, so you'll see, you'll be able
to assess swings, see how you're
playing, you know, line calling,
all that kind of fun stuff.
So, and, and I see a lot of the companies
on, on the list that there's a lot of,
um, IT and, and AI companies and all that.
How much is that influencing the
industry, the record industry?
I think everybody's really, uh, I
mean, any way that you can analyze
and, and get better, you know, our,
our brand is devoted to, to growing.
Whether it's, it's it's growth of
the industry and for me, that's
growing your business or your game.
And I think tech, of course, um, you know,
enables, uh, clubs to do more things,
whether it's from lessons to tournaments,
et cetera, and, and for people to improve
on, on, on the sport that they're playing.
So, um, I think it's changing.
Uh, I think there's some, some new
stuff and I, I think it'll continue to
grow and we wanna support that because,
um, it's just, it's an area that we
know people are very interested in.
Schedules.
I mean, uh, I know you're gonna have
big celebrities talking and all that.
Is that gonna be going all from
Friday all the way through Sunday?
Is there I, someone comes and says they
didn't know have anything to do at Riot.
There's, you know, there's 10 courts that
we are programming, you know, for, for
the entirety from open to close, from
from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Um, there's a
stage that's going every half an hour.
Our sessions are half an hour this year.
Um, so we wanted to keep them
short and, and moving and get as
many on that stage as possible.
Uh, and then, like I said, we
have the Closed Door Club Summit.
Sessions that'll be on Saturday.
So, um, there's, there is high energy
stuff happening the, the entire day.
Plus your vendor, you know, we have,
uh, every vendor is and sponsor is
doing something at their booth as well.
So, so what, why don't you, I mean,
I'm, I'm very interested because, you
know, I'm also in the club management
and all that one, you, you tell us
a little bit about the club summit.
How did you come out with that idea?
Also what, what, what, how important is
for me to attend the Club summit or for
any club owner or upcoming club owner?
Yeah, we, we think it's,
you know, it's critical.
Um, you know, whether you are, depending
on what, you know, it's, it's high level.
So it's, it's operators, it's investors,
it's owners, facilities, country clubs,
uh, paddle clubs, you know, you name it.
We have some public private
folks that are gonna be there.
Um, and like I said, we're, we're
investing a lot into, uh, as we've
noticed some of the, the talking
points or the questions and the
challenges that we're hearing.
So this Ritz Carlton session we're
doing, um, they're coming in for
three hours and actually running.
They're not just talking, they're
running a hands-on workshop where you
will have tactical takeaways where to
bring back to your club on, you know,
how to continue to create cultures of
excellence and enhance the experience.
And while I hear a lot, um.
In and out of this industry and having
been in lots of other industries outside
of this is, you know, you can't just
build something and they will come.
Right.
Um, perhaps in paddle there
has been a bit of that because
there aren't that many options.
But as more and more options
come, it'll become commoditized
based on price or location, right?
Yes.
And um, you know, where I see
some white space is how do
we influence the experience?
And part of that is.
Who is your and your staff?
Who is, you know, who is this culture
that you're creating and how are
they treating the members, you know,
players, occupants, whoever's coming.
Um, so we're, like I said,
we're investing a lot in that.
For me, that is just something really
cool, um, and different that we're,
we're trying to bring to the industry
where you can all learn from each
other and then sessions throughout
the day, it's, it's collaborative.
It's, it's learning what, you know,
pickleball facility might be doing that a
pot facility can learn from and something
a country club has done and how they've
operational operationalized something or.
Put on something and we can
all learn from each other.
And that's the spirit of, of what we do.
So to me, it's, it's a must.
It's a must attend if
you are, uh, part of the.
The rocket score world on
when's, when's that gonna be?
So technically it's, uh,
all three days, right?
So we curate a, a calendar and
basically say, you should do this.
And there's, you know, go over
here and look at this session.
The, the behind closed door
content is on Saturday.
Okay, it's all day Saturday.
And is that separate
from the actual venue?
It's in a room upstairs.
Um, you have to have a special ticket
type the club summit access, um, and
you'll be able to access that content.
The other thing with that pass, you
know, comes along, get to come to
the rocking party, uh, our opening
party, which is always a rager.
Uh, which is gonna be held at a fort this
year, which is right down the street.
Um, and you'll have access to
the club apex, which is that VIP
lounge area on the show floor.
So how would somebody be able
to, uh, grab tickets like that?
V Rack and x.com?
Oh, nice.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So, and also we're giving away
50, um, regular attendance
tickets or another channel.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And also.
Uh, I don't know if we're giving away
some, uh, a, a few club summits, but I
think that's a, that's a brilliant idea.
We'd love to, yeah.
So why don't you tell us a little bit, uh.
The, the sponsors, the big ones,
the medium and the small ones.
I mean, and why, why they become
part of the Rack X experience.
Now also, we've seen the same, some of
the same sponsors every single year.
So you could see that they're
really supporting this.
Um, and then we've seen some bigger ones
now finally entering into, uh, into Rack
X. Can you talk a little bit about that?
It's exciting.
It's like the little baby
is grown up, you know?
Um, you know, as you can see behind
you on your screen, uh, racket has
presented like platonic this year.
So they are our title sponsor.
Um, and we've had massive
support from them.
We're, we're very appreciative.
They're gonna have a pretty big
presence this year, uh, and they're
supporting us, um, at, at a very
high level, uh, which is great.
We have, uh, from the paddle side,
you know, from an equipment brand
standpoint, um, or, or at least you
know, court builders that you'll see,
um, Meher set, who you know, has,
has been a supporter of us for years.
Uh, a FP Adidas, um, is actually
gonna have center court, and
they're gonna be bringing some
activations with the PPL two.
That's coming and, and some
players, which will be exciting.
Uh, paddle Tech and then Off the Glass,
who is new this year, uh, for us.
And they're gonna be doing
two courts this year.
And also you have Lu Atten as one
of the main sponsors as well, right?
We do.
We love Lu Atten.
They've been on the road with us.
Uh, love those guys.
They're, um, we did the city series,
which we went to five different
cities throughout the year.
Small, uh, four clubs, bike clubs.
And they were held at like some
pretty high level, high profile
country clubs around, um.
Country and they were one of the
sponsors who came to all five cities.
So we were kinda like a little family
of 10, you know, this crew that
kind of went around the country.
So yeah, Luc attendance will be there.
Um, on the equipment side, we
got, um, you know, Knox has
been a great supporter of us.
We have Blop this year.
S. Adidas Barian Wilson is coming,
although, you know, some of these are
cross multiple sports as we know as well.
Uh, tech fiber, um, Blanca Paddle, we
got, let me keep thinking, Franklin, this
year, gamma, who's entering this space?
Um.
Uh, PALOP, who's there?
Harrow, we got a whole crew of,
and, and you have also Play Side,
but, uh, they were, they were
here last year as well, right?
Yeah, from a tech side.
We got Play Site.
You got Save My Play.
Um, we have a handful.
I'm trying to think of
who else is on our port.
Oh, we have Ion Sport, um, who's a big
partner with Intenses, so you're gonna
see them live and massively in action.
Um, this year we have, um.
Uh, who else I'm thinking
from a tech standpoint.
Um, we got, uh.
Oh, Mondo is coming this year.
Yeah.
Who's, you know, they're, they're
big on the, you know, uh, on the
paddle side, court Reserve, who's
been, uh, great, great partners and
they're actually new to the show this
year, uh, which has been great to get
them, um, you know, kind of on board.
Ent, we got volley.
We know everyone loves vol, the
volley machines, um, en court.
We have boast who's coming, uh, who, uh,
have supported us for a few years, play by
point, of course, from a tech standpoint.
Uh, we love them and they've
supported us for multiple years.
Ani who creates a very cool.
Very cool shirt.
I dunno if you've ever seen their
stuff, but they have a little slide
in the sleeve for your sunglasses.
Oh really?
And then on the corner I'm like, I
should be a salesperson for them.
And on the corner of their shirt,
it's like a glass eye glass.
Um, like a wipe, you know, like
the special glass wipes that
you use for your eyeglasses.
They have one built into the shirt.
So when you're playing and you get sweaty,
you can clean your, your sunglasses.
Oh, wow.
Isn't that cool?
That is, that's super exciting.
So, I mean, we'll be there, uh,
you know, the entire three days,
you know, activations, you know,
creating content all and all that
and, and partnering with you guys.
But we're, we're super excited.
So.
Are you guys offering any type
of shuttle services from Miami
to Broward or anything like that?
Uh, no, it's every man for themselves
and, and, and woman and Giles.
So, Uber, Uber, Lyft, Uber.
Uh, if some works good.
No.
Uh, ride sharing.
Uh, public transport?
No, we're not offering
anything from, from Miami.
Um, unfortunately, but, um, there's
plenty of ample parking on site right.
Attached to the convention center.
Um, okay.
Uh, is, uh, is parking free, uh, for
the attendees or do you get pay for it?
So, um, I think there's usually
a small little fee, um, but
it's, it's, it's nominal.
Okay.
And it's very convenient.
And if anyone is deciding that they
wanna stay, um, there are hotels.
There's a new omni that's
attached to the convention center.
Uh, and there's a Hilton
right across the street.
Okay.
And you guys, everything
is on the website.
Uh, hotel recommended.
Everything's there, and if you have
questions, I encourage everyone to,
um, hit the chat with US Platinum.
At the bottom corner of our website,
you'll meet Raquel, who oddly
looks like me, not on purpose.
Um, who is our AI chap, uh,
who is our AI concierge.
Uh, okay.
And she actually can answer most
questions as well as we can.
Uh, she has our first line of defense
and has been immensely helpful.
Um, she'll even help you
create your schedule and.
And if she can't answer it, you'll answer.
Right, right there.
Can't answer, answer, you know?
Yeah.
Me, text me.
Everyone does tell, uh, someone
from the teams will, will answer,
but, um, uh, there's multiple ways
to get in touch with customers.
Are you guys doing any
activations with the Miami Open?
We're not.
So the Miami Open technically starts
on Sunday, the last day of the show.
Um, so we are not officially doing
anything this year with them.
The timing just doesn't work
out for when everyone needs to,
and sponsors need to break down.
Um, but we do, um, I believe we have a,
a discount code for tickets on our site
that if you're staying or you'd like
to go, uh, I know it is free to enter.
Um, on Sunday night
for anyone who's there.
And then if you're staying during
the week, I think there's a discount.
So, great.
So why don't you tell our viewers
and listeners, uh, how much
is a ticket to go Rocket X?
Uh, you have a multi-day ticket.
You have one day ticket, one
ticket for all three days.
One ticket gets you three days of fun.
Okay?
Um, at the lowest level,
general admission is $50.
Kids under a certain amount
come for, I'm thinking under 14.
Come, come for free.
Um, so it's a great activity for families
to come, great time for families to come.
A club summit ticket is, um, $699.
Uh, and then there is a business
pass we added this year.
So if you are on the business side of
it, you're not necessarily a fit for the
Club Summit because it is, uh, who clubs.
So vendors can't come, or anyone
who's not in the club side of
things, um, are not welcome to come.
Um, there's a business pass, which
then gives you access to the app,
which we encourage everyone to
download and you can match, make,
and create meetings that way on site.
Okay.
Yeah, I remember that.
Yeah.
That, that was a really great, great tool.
Yeah.
It is.
It is and it's gonna be.
Can you talk to us a little
bit about more about that for
people who don't know about that?
Yeah.
It's, it's up and running.
So once you register, you'll start
to get your information about it.
Um, it's, uh, an AI based app.
It'll, you know, kind of show
you who it thinks you should meet
with based on who you're saying
yes, I'd like to connect with.
But, um, anyone who's on the business
side of it, who's either purchased a
Club Summit ticket or a business pass,
um, and of course all of our vendors
and sponsors and partners are, um.
Are in it, and you can actually,
you know, kind of connect it to
your calendar and you can schedule
meetings on site, um, to meet with
whoever, whoever responds back to you.
Great.
So you have the regular
tickets, the business tickets,
and the club summit tickets.
Yep.
Business Ticket and the Club
Summit tickets gives you access
to the entire thing, right?
Include just the Club Summit tickets.
The business just gives you access
to the matchmaking part of the app.
Uh, as a business, the only one that
gets to go to the party are the Club
Summit folks, and of course are vendors.
And how, how much is that?
The Business Pass is, uh, 1 95
and the, uh, the Club Summit five.
6 99. 6 99. Perfect.
Yeah.
Um, and what I will notice there
is we have a, a big partner this
year, the I-I-P-P-F, which is
the International Association of
Pickleball and Paddle Facilities.
It's a mouthful.
Um, and they are creating content, um,
on Friday and Saturday alongside ours.
It's very, it's facilities based content.
It's, uh, very niche and, and in depth.
It, it goes much deeper and
they're very good at that.
Um, we're going, you know,
Ritz Carlton high level.
Um, aspirational, some content and
they're doing some really niche things.
Um, there is a pass, um, available
to attend that, their event, um,
which is also attached to racket
X, so you'll get access to that.
However, I mentioned this because on
our site there's a joint ticket which
gives you access to all of that content,
um, and everything, uh, for 7 99.
Okay.
March 13th, 1415 at the Broward
Convention Center, correct.

Um, on Friday and Saturday,
it's 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Okay.
