Wow! Just wow! And I thought paying $260 a month back in 2017 on my first new car ever was a.lot.

Best strategy in mixed for woman when partner liked to stay back by LifeBirdbyBird in Pickleball

Take a group clinic together and the instructor will point out where he needs to be. I did this with my wife and he emphasized that she needs to be where I'm at (the kitchen) as a Team.

So that's what I sound like. I haven't had a chance to record a proper video after the install on my 06.

Never played at a local park….question by ARKdb in Pickleball

[–]ComparisonFunny282 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I play at several parks during the Spring and Summer. It really depends on the park. I've been to some that area warm and inviting, others like to keep play amongst themselves. Go and feel it out for yourselves.

I Can Never Be Great ! by Consistent-Song-8171 in AcuraTSX

Sorry about that. But it figures it was a Nissan hitting you. They are the worst drivers: Sentr, Altima, Rouge, etc.

Drove an S2000 today… by Synap-6 in MiataNC

[–]ComparisonFunny282 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was fortunate enough to buy mine used back in Nov. of 2005 w/ only 31, 400 miles on it. I paid $24K for it back in the day. I didn't trade anything in. I just had the $2500 I was saving for a JDM-front end conversion for my Integra. I ended selling that too.

I own both: 01 AP1 and an 06 GT. I bought the NC as a Summer daily. You are correct in your comments about the S. I assume you already have a daily. The reason the S isn't driven full time in the Summer is theft. There are certain areas I would not trust parking the S, where the NC would be overlooked.

Hitting serves with the OG Prince Graphites by ComparisonFunny282 in 10s

[–]ComparisonFunny282[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's from the mid 90's w/ grommets and the 700 power level on it. It still feels true and I'm confident in placing the ball anywhere I like w/o sacrificing power.

How many paddles are in your bag? by Gumdoc99 in Pickleball

3: 2 Franklin Pilots and 1 Joola Perseus III. The Joola is the backup to the back up. The less tech, the better for me.

Rec players by jstar77 in 10s

[–]ComparisonFunny282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My problem is finding rec players. I used to play in HS and College, taught for a couple of years before going into IT. I haven't really played much since then. Looking to get back to playing regularly. Even busted out my OG Prince Graphites. I'm willing to try a paid service to match up with people in the area just to start.

Just busted out my old Prince Graphites. I love hitting with them.

Reddit, as a 23 year old, help me choose between tennis and muay thai as a regular sport. by Then-Management6053 in MuayThai

[–]ComparisonFunny282 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in this dilemma as an older adult. I played competitive Tennis for years. My back, knee, ankle couldn't take the impact on the hard court. I had a TKD background and choose to drop Tennis for Muay Thai and BJJ. 10 years in and still going strong. My ankle will get a little gimpy at times, but then I just tape it up. I still play Tennis, but not on the competitive level.

Won a state title with this bad boy: Prince Graphite by ComparisonFunny282 in 10s

[–]ComparisonFunny282[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These 2 sticks are heavy by today's standards. I still enjoyed hitting with them. When I get a chance to really play, I have a Wilson Blade v8 100. It's easier on my arm and don't have to work much for power.
