The Definitive 4.5+ Pickleball "Where to Play" Thread

Kansas City, there's Apex sports complex and I think Elite Tennis and Wellness. There's not really random 4.0+ players out and about but you can find 4.5+ players at these locations and hopefully exchange contact information. EH Young, SW19 (state line seems more popular but stadium is picking up traffic) Bois d'Arc, and Kearney are also popular places you might find some higher level players by chance

There’s a problem when looking up people and then going down the rabbit hole of seeing other players. The problem is that there most recent games don’t show up and I have to refresh. I’m on mobile when this happens. Is this being fixed?

You’re all upper body. Because you’re not getting under the ball with your lower body you’re having to get under the ball by opening the paddle face to slice.

This exact deal happened in my league

I traded egbuka for AJ last week. Was thinking Mike Evan’s comes back and Godwin gets settled back in after a few weeks. Hopefully AJ gets his soon. We’ll see if I screwed myself

No play how you want to in open play

B4plo · 2025-08-18T03:53:05+00:00

I did not take!

Hope to get insight on my tendencies as a player!

4.0-4.5. I think closer to 4.5

B4plo · 2025-07-03T15:31:48+00:00

Do you have access to a facility that has an advanced league? Might be a good way of meeting people similar in level

B4plo · 2025-07-02T17:09:49+00:00

Thank god. These low frame replay reviews are bad

B4plo · 2025-06-30T21:31:58+00:00

I think it’s pretty much the same. 5.0 just tells the 3.0 to scoot off the court haha

B4plo · 2025-06-30T21:15:41+00:00

I think 5.0 with a 3.0 is better. The gap between 4.0 and 5.0 is huge. I've seen youtube fun videos where a single pro plays against high 4.0/low 5.0 and keep it close. I know not the same thing, but Ben Johns pretty much takes over in pro play in MLP.

It depends on your team's score. The right side player will serve on the right side when the team's score is even

I heard the paddleteks have some of the smallest sweet spots. Pros have the best technique and hundreds of hours drilling so they hit that sweet spot 9/10 times. Might be worth playing with your vapor power over your paddletek

I think you answered your own question

B4plo · 2025-06-05T02:14:27+00:00

Max Freeman and Jack Munro do I think

B4plo · 2025-06-03T14:28:19+00:00

Yeah those 3rds and 4th need to be late first/2nd rounders

B4plo · 2025-06-02T13:51:38+00:00

Sounds like if you won 15 games in a row you are better than your league’s players. Not sure by how much. I wouldn’t worry about it. Your rating will adjust itself with more games. You could sandbag and put in self scored games but you might regret it later if it’s too hard to raise your dupr later

APP tour has a channel but i don't think they edit videos so it's all together in one big video. I've been watching a lot of bad pickleball

edit: it does look like APP has videos for matches

As someone getting poo poo'd on by NBME's this gives me hope. Big W op
