About Third Shot Drop

Third Shot Drop is a labour of love.  Founded in 2016, David Bussiere decided players deserved to make informed decisions when they bought a paddle.  Many players were buying at a retailer- or online. He was interested in players that had no opportunity to try before they buy.  It is critical that players make sure they like the size and length of the grip, and the weight of the paddle.  "We are looking to turn new players into pickleball players for life".  Creating addicts is our business.

David and his wife Alice have been playing since 2013 and are completely addicted.  In 2018, David was "downsized" from his full time work as a regional manager in finance.  He decided at that time to see if he could turn his passion into a way to pay the bills.  

So far so good.  He is a certified level II instructor with the IPTPA, and loves to teach new players the game.  He is also Onix Canada's marketing point person, produces and creates content for a popular Youtube channel "Pickleballywood", and runs a successful online and court-side store.  It is busy but fun, and he is enjoying it.  "I love doing special events with a charity involved whenever possible.  Combining pickleball, players having fun, and a charity benefitting- is a win X 3".  In 2019 he became the coach for the Kingston Special Olympics pickleball team.  

​David grew up in Montreal, Alice grew up in Kingston.  They live with Murphy the dog and Ollie the cat, and can be at Lake Ontario in 5 minutes, outdoor pickleball courts in 7 minutes.  If you are coming to Kingston, make sure you email david@thirdshotdrop.ca so they can set up a game with you.
