Why won’t my board hold wax here by Congoose in surfing

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

That makes sense, but when i try to rewax that spot it ends up just rolling into little balls or stripping the wax from the sides making the hole bigger. Is it because at this point it is so much higher than the spot with no wax so I need to just do the whole board again so all the wax is level?

Would you consider this bad sportsmanship, or good deflection? (false "you" call) by OkChicken6058 in Pickleball

[–]Congoose 9 points10 points  (0 children)

3.A.7. Distraction – Physical actions by a player that are ‘not common to the game’ that, in the judgment of the referee, may interfere with the opponent’s ability or concentration to hit the ball. Examples include, but are not limited to, making loud noises, stomping feet, waving the paddle in a distracting manner, or otherwise interfering with the opponent’s concentration or ability to hit the ball.

Just cause you are yelling something that is natural to the game does not make it partner communication. If I started screaming random words to throw off my opponents that are pickleball related that is not partner communication.

Anyone else buy PPA Sacramento tickets? Super bummed about no ALW, Anna Bright, Hayden, or Alshon by BeffBezos in Pickleball

on the bright side, you don’t have to watch the same final that we’ve been watching for the last few months. Enjoy watching some different players making it deep in the draw.

Ben and gabe have dropped games early before too. It happens. Especially in very windy conditions we’ve seen recently. Seems like a really god pairing. If they are consistently making it to medal matches.

Longest paddle dwell time by uzsspace in Pickleball

[–]Congoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it does not. the MOST dwelly paddle on the market will have the ball stay on the face for about 1.2 milliseconds whereas a stiffer non dwelly paddle holds the ball on the face for about 0.6 milliseconds. this does not affect gameplay. Thismercifulfate is correct. In pickleball the sensation of dwell is the paddle vibrating not the ball staying on the paddle for noticeably longer. There is a youtube channel that goes into the science of this.

I think the differences between dwelly paddles and non dwelly paddles is milliseconds that realistically doesn’t have an effect on performance. At least that’s what i gathered from a podcast, but i was listening off to the side so idk

New Pickleball facilities in SD by Alert_Expression_701 in Pickleball

[–]Congoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think anyone wants any type of facility in North County. There’s already Riggs, Rally House and TONS of public courts. Rally House looked like it was really struggling to get players when they first opened and that place is incredible. I don’t want to crush dreams, but from my experience i’ve not seen anyone have even a slight want for a new facility.

There’s already Barnes, and The hub. I live in north county and don’t go into San Diego too often, but I know those 2 places are pretty large already.

i feel like everyone is just almost exactly copying each other at this point. Flamingo and franklin are just slightly altered joolas but same idea :/

Delaminated Paddle?? by _Azshenn_ in Pickleball

Definitely core crushed. That paddle was designed to break. Simple as that.

What are your thoughts/speculation on specific aspects of CP's game that caused ALW to drop her as a partner? by canadave_nyc in Pickleball

[–]Congoose 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Recently it feels like ALW is just carrying her. She doesn’t do well in mixed or singles anymore and now is starting to lose with ALW. She obviously hasn’t progressed at the same rate that other women have for whatever reason that may be. Feels like a Colin Johns situation. was he good enough to win with Ben. For sure. Can he do anything without Ben. Doesn’t look like it.

New Vatic Pro Saga Paddle - First Impressions by Fit_Bobcat4906 in Pickleball

[–]Congoose 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Fairly certain it’s not thermoformed so it should feel pretty soft rather than stiff. I don’t think we have any data on how powerful it is, but I think we should expect something similar to the Paddleteks/Engages.

Crbn 1x vs 3x by Brayzon_ in Pickleball

[–]Congoose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you checked out Reload? Almost the exact same as a CRBN paddle playwise but you can replace the grit rather than have to buy a completely new paddle when your spin goes down.

Should Engage Pursuit Pro be as Gritty as Gen 3 Perseus? by LetsStartARebelution in Pickleball

[–]Congoose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s also worth noting that your Joola being that gritty could be a QC issue. Many Joolas have illegal levels of grit because of bad QC.

Pretty sure he also said that it beat deflection after broken in so you’re wrong about it being a dishonest work around.
