From the Pros — Glauka Carvajal Lane

From the Pros — Glauka Carvajal Lane

“The EV-11 feels just as good as the top balls out there — consistent bounce, great control, and reliable durability. Knowing it’s made with ocean-bound plastic gives me extra pride every time I step on court.”

We’re honored to have Glauka, a seasoned pro and fierce competitor on the APP Tour, share her thoughts on our EV-11 pickleball. Her words capture exactly what we aim to deliver: uncompromising performance and a meaningful commitment to sustainability.

What Glauka Loves About EV-11

  • The bounce is clean and predictable. I can trust it on every court even when conditions change throughout the day.
  • It holds up during long rallies. I train hard, I drill hard, and this ball doesn’t wobble or soften the way others do.
  • I get the control I need in the kitchen. Dinks, resets, touch shots — it responds exactly the way I expect.
  • I can drive it with confidence. Power plays feel solid and on-target without losing accuracy.
  • Honestly…it just feels right. No odd hops, no dead spots — just a reliable ball that lets me focus on my game, not the equipment.
