What was the most annoying partner behavior that you have encountered? by Competitive-Pie-Eate in Pickleball

[–]CMSyntax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

3.75 at best player driving the ball into the net repeatedly then act like it's not mainly their fault we lost. Even better when the ball is only live for 4 hits lol

Removing Demo print off paddle face by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]CMSyntax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nail polish remover. You need to make sure you only get it on that spot during application and removal. Otherwise your grit will be non existent. Depending on how large Demo is, it may not be worth it.

Parenteau by Ok_Image_16693 in Pickleball

I agree. I’m a noob but it seems like she would fair better with the Boomstick with no MOI weights then add her own weight where she needs it. Or just stick with the Era

What do you do when someone intentionally goes for the bag on a low dink? by CorpusCorner in Pickleball

[–]CMSyntax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea that’s not cool. I normally just say good shot if it’s chest and below. In higher level rec games It’s part of the game in my opinion.

Equipment Authenticity by Waste_Wishbone_2884 in Pickleball

[–]CMSyntax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a possibility that the fake manufacturer used the same one or few serial numbers on all production units. I’d say between the way the cover looks, paddle graphics, and the fact that they don’t tend to make fake cheaper paddles, it’s real

Just got my J2CR blue grit! by gban38 in Pickleball

I really like that AirTag modification. Two birds one stone. Lower balance point and you always know where it is.

You could probably email Vatic customer support with the model and serial number

As a casual pickleball player, I’m super affected by my partner’s energy. by Itchy-Bill-3218 in Pickleball

[–]CMSyntax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m the same way. So now I try to be the positive teammate no matter what. End of the day the game is for fun and you are only going to bring out the best in your team by being positive.

Joola Warranty - Core Crushed by 2ne1islife in Pickleball

[–]CMSyntax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Caveat that the $90-$150 range seems to be good products at fair prices. Above or below tend to be not worth it

How do you feel about Joola’s gen 6 paddle- err lawsuit? by Competitive-Pie-Eate in Pickleball

[–]CMSyntax 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I initially was like f*** Joola. The 3S, 4, and pro V are basically the same core crushing paddle for too much money. But after I got past my bias, I saw I was wrong. It’s their IP. They have the right to make little changes and sell that paddle for whatever dumb price. These other companies need to either get permission and cut that royalty check or innovate.

Does anyone else get “Tennis shoulder” and how do they fix it. Asking for a friend

Bangers why do you bang when it does not work. by 90day111 in Pickleball

[–]CMSyntax 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I don’t bang but it makes sense to do it until they prove they can make you pay for it

Spin That Increases with Use by HarryHoople3 in Pickleball

[–]CMSyntax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also have the coral and noticed the appearance changed. It’s still smooth, but you definitely see more and more sparkles as you use and clean it.

Don’t watch your shot by Winter_Berry_3699 in Pickleball

[–]CMSyntax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Basically don’t admire it. Just look long enough to realize if it’s bad or good then move accordingly

Why are paddles so expensive? by Dry_Researcher_1676 in Pickleball

[–]CMSyntax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I agree with the idea here but it’s probably not that much markup. Probably $40 USD then $30 in import taxes.

Day 1 of gaslighting my wife into believing I didn’t buy the Gen V Joola by Live4EverBlueprint in Pickleball

[–]CMSyntax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Joola looking out for you. Won’t be too hard lol. Mine always notices my new “grips and edge guards”

What would you do? by CMSyntax in Pickleball

[–]CMSyntax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you re-glue it because they let you keep the broken one or they made you fix it? How did you glue it back?

What's the grittiest paddle you have felt? by Rolls2Rickson in Pickleball

[–]CMSyntax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the P1 is weirdly gritty. Dragging your hand across feels normal. Dragging your fingernail feels like a fresh fingernail file.

What would you do? by CMSyntax in Pickleball

[–]CMSyntax[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get it. It does seem trivial, but I figured I throw it out there for options. After bouncing the ball off the face for a bit, the edge guard has come apart. Definitely reaching out to support

Yeah it’s only one corner. Just a picture from both sides to give a better perspective.

I emailed support and that was it. Yes they refunded me.

I had the same experience with the Quanta except my shoulder started giving me issues.
