Where to Find the Best Deals on Hoka Shoes

Are you a runner? More specifically, a road runner? Hoka was built for that. Meaning “to fly” in Maori, Hoka was founded in 2009 so that runners could get the ultimate experience with optimum cushioning and stability. Less than 15 years after its founding, Hoka is bringing in revenues topping a billion dollars a year, so it’s clear that people are loving this brand. But with quality comes high prices, and Hoka is no doubt in the high end price-wise. So we’ve rounded up the best stores to find the best deals for Hoka.

Tip of the day

Today’s video explains the differences between the Poke, Roll, and Flick in pickleball, clarifying when and how to use each shot effectively.

The Poke is used at full reach to take away time and space from opponents, with minimal wrist action.

The Roll involves dropping the paddle below the ball and brushing up for spin and power, making it effective for precise shots or attacking from deeper positions.

The Flick relies mostly on wrist action for speed and spin, making it a quicker option at the kitchen line.

Zane also includes ball machine demonstrations and emphasizes proper form for each shot.

Key Points

  • Poke: Used at full reach to take away time and space; minimal wrist action, aimed at opponent’s hip or transition zone.

  • Roll: Requires dropping low and brushing up on the ball for spin and power; takes longer to execute but is useful for attacking and precise shots.

  • Flick: Primarily wrist-driven, allowing quick execution and more reach at the kitchen line; requires a strong wrist.

  • Training Setup: Uses a Lobster ball machine to practice different shots with specific speed and trajectory settings.
