Zack "The Backhand Wizard" Farmer
Zack Farmer wasn’t always a chiropractor, but his love for fixing people’s spines started on the pickleball court. After accidentally throwing out his back while attempting a particularly ambitious backhand, Zack realized his true calling—helping others recover from their pickleball-related injuries. Known for his magical backhand and an uncanny ability to crack a back like nobody’s business, Zack has earned the nickname "The Backhand Wizard" both on and off the court.

He first discovered pickleball when he was looking for a way to keep his hands busy during his breaks from cracking spines. Little did he know, he’d soon be cracking balls across the net with just as much finesse. Zack’s dream is to open a pickleball-themed chiropractic clinic where patients can play a quick game before getting adjusted, ensuring they leave both victorious and pain-free.

Ben "The Dink Whisperer" Carlson
Ben Carlson, engineer by day and pickleball strategist by night, brings the same analytical mind to the court that he uses to solve complex engineering problems. His friends say he can calculate the trajectory of a pickleball with the same precision he uses to design bridges. Ben’s love affair with pickleball began when he realized it was the perfect way to exercise both his body and his brain, though he’s still working on not overthinking every shot.

On the court, Ben is known for his unorthodox strategies, often sketching out complex game plans on napkins during timeouts. His signature move, "The Dill Dive," involves diving dramatically for balls that are well out of bounds, mostly because he enjoys the theatrics. When he’s not playing, Ben enjoys designing and building intricate pickleball paddle prototypes, hoping to one day create the ultimate paddle that will guarantee him a spot in the Pickleball Hall of Fame—or at least give him a slight edge in his weekend games.
