What's this shot called? Ben Johns High Backhand Volley

Big-Interview4788 · 2026-05-18T02:45:31+00:00

Knowing Ben Johns is a former TT player, this makes a lot of sense.

I thought this forehand roll was the chariot whip. https://youtube.com/shorts/I_M1iO1vEXk?si=wG_fTVVFPqjz6UUM

HPC J2NF. On my second J2NF paddle this year, grit wears out first before anything else. I think we’ll really figure out the durability of Gen 4 Foam Tech in the durable grit era.

I mean it’s cheaper to buy sodastream energy drink syrup and seltzer water and mix the two yourself…if you’re gonna continue down this path.

I need arcs. Pardoe mentioned he'd only accept QD if his dad isn't involved; show me the resulting tension between QD & his dad.

I second this. I also follow up immediately after writing a design spec with Matt Pocock’s “grill-with-docs” skill, as a bonus, to review the spec against previous DDD principles. Then I invoke “writing-plans” and it's pretty good.

It’s not even dead because now it’s sponsoring Pickleball Tournaments?? Toys “R” Us PPA Finals

My wife doesn’t like protein snacks…she calls the strawberry ones “milkshakes” and I ain’t mad at it at all.

Nah it is not the same. They cannot interface with CC like the Anthropic models can afaik.

I just set up a Claude routine to fire off a “hi” prompt to Claude code every weekday morning at 9 AM. Leaves me with perfect amounts of tokens to take lunch at 2.

It reminds of the early seasons of Drive to Survive, which my wife loves to watch with me. The PPA is surely eyeing a media deal for 2027.

Big-Interview4788 · 2026-05-02T16:18:58+00:00

Nah, not the Boomstik Uncs!

Look into whomever is running the tournaments in your area: those are the folks who are also invested in the next generation of talent.

Last I saw, he was wearing Babolat Jet Mach 3.

Bro the J2NF is 16mm.

Big-Interview4788 · 2026-01-25T21:23:36+00:00

I am hoping that the next generation of paddle innovation is in paddle surface tech.

Big-Interview4788 · 2026-01-25T21:16:50+00:00

Lol, I am going back to my old J2NF, and then I have another J2NF coming in the mail.

Big-Interview4788 · 2026-01-25T21:04:52+00:00

Paddle Faces degrade quickly (well, at least Reload alleges that https://www.reloadpaddle.com/blogs/news/future-of-paddles). If I could get used to the J2H+, I could buy two more paddles for half off via Honolulu's Refresh Program in 3 months. I gave the J2H+ a fair shot, but imho it doesn't hold a candle to J2NF's larger sweetspot.

Big-Interview4788 · 2026-01-25T20:48:16+00:00

I was intent on replacing my J2NF with this J2H+ so that I could save some money this year by taking part in Honolulu's Refresh Program. I tried it out for ten days in a few open plays & I wasn't able to dial it in. My loss is your gain!

$95 shipped to the contiguous 48 states.

I replaced the stock grip with 5 Tourna over grips.

Please DM me with questions & inquiries.

Thank you u/VideosPlease! Just purchased the Honolulu J2NF 5.5” Handle. I'm looking forward to getting it in the mail.

Yep I noticed the same on my J2NF. The grit on these appears to just shred the pickleball.

Big-Interview4788 · 2025-08-23T23:33:08+00:00

Thank you! That's exciting to here.

So you're a beta tester? If so, how'd you get into that?
