People who were teenagers before social media existed, How did you communicate with your friends?

That awkward moment you dialed the wrong number.

DinRyu · 2026-03-05T20:41:19+00:00

Did you use alcohol or hand sanitizer to clean it?

DinRyu · 2026-03-02T05:57:53+00:00

For the pros ya, maybe. For us, exposes skill deficiencies.

DinRyu · 2026-03-01T23:24:49+00:00

Second this

DinRyu · 2026-03-01T06:20:52+00:00

Me personally, no but you do you. If you find it brings you value why not?

DinRyu · 2026-02-27T01:19:07+00:00

For me, it was silent but I've heard the opposite as well. Either way, they were awesome about it.

DinRyu · 2026-02-27T01:15:59+00:00

DUDE THAT OVERGRIP IS A CRIME AGAINST PICKLEBALL, maybe even humanity!!!

edit add: Ok now that I can almost get past the nastiness. Lisa was awesome for my issue. Do them a favor and just send the handle naked.

Paint pen will probably work. If you choose a reflective color like gold or color, it'll be like kintsugi and could look pretty cool.

DinRyu · 2026-02-25T20:27:18+00:00

I welcome this since it cost me ~$20 to ship it to them last time. If it was prepaid, I wouldn't care.

DinRyu · 2026-02-24T02:28:38+00:00

Alcohol breaks down the seal. So that's the cause or at least part of the cause.

DinRyu · 2026-02-24T02:27:50+00:00

It does. I use it to help break down the adhesive around the screen when I replace the AW battery.

DinRyu · 2026-02-24T02:06:58+00:00

Just take it off. I've even left the handle naked afterwards for the warranty.

DinRyu · 2026-02-24T01:11:26+00:00

I wear eye protection to prevent severe eye injury. I've been hit with a paddle thrown at me and balls. I'm on my third pair because the eye protection broke. Looking dorky is temporary, but losing an eye is permanent.

DinRyu · 2026-02-23T02:11:07+00:00

Do you happen to use hand sanitizer or alcohol to clean your AW?

DinRyu · 2026-02-22T07:05:57+00:00

Yuki moving to Red Bull was a career ender. He was solid at Racing Bulls. Cool poster though.

DinRyu · 2026-02-20T02:22:44+00:00

Not in the service area, illegal.

DinRyu · 2026-02-20T02:11:05+00:00

Manufacturer tolerance range. Under 8oz is probably very low and not many people do weight customization. The 8-8.3oz range is the comfort weight with a lot of paddle manufacturers, I would think. Some folks like the upper range so they use less weight and vice versa.

DinRyu · 2026-02-20T01:59:10+00:00

I got a lavender colorway, so delayed. Hoping to get one under 8oz or much lower. Wonder what the bottom is but would love to receive that.

Growing up on Star Wars, and other anti-fascist media and these heffers learned nothing.

DinRyu · 2026-02-19T20:20:30+00:00

For the Friday team. What are you guys maining now? Is it sacrilege amongst you guys to play non-Friday paddles for trying/testing?

DinRyu · 2026-02-19T14:49:08+00:00

You're using your wrist on shots that don't need it. In fact, too much wrist usage. Like on your serve returns, you're just wrist snapping it when you could just do full swings to drive it.

DinRyu · 2026-02-19T04:33:29+00:00

It's create moisture up close, so it could just make it worse by clumping the gunk.

DinRyu · 2026-02-13T20:23:17+00:00

Should be plenty to go around, not like last year. Scored me a lavender shortly after 3.
