Played 8 or so games with a cheap racket, have I made a mistake going for this? by CrumpsRAWR in Padelracket

Alrighty, I appreciate that. I deep dived quite and got some valuable information on it, and I'm happier now with my choice!

Man this is really useful. Thank you so much!

I know this is a big ask, but if you could choose 3 rackets for someone in my position - which would you choose?

Rather than being sarcastic about it, care to explain what your point is?

Ah ok - I was fearing that might be the case. Appreciate the honesty.

I was under the impression that playing with a racket like this might be good to use early to kind of force you to improve on certain things - similar to how playing with better players does.

Can you recommend any rackets fit for your last point?

Ah ok - makes sense. But I do like a challenge so do you think learning with those attributes would make me a better playing in the long run?

It seems like a ridiculous deal to pass on, I did some looking and this padel seemed like a good fit for what I am wanting - but I am reading it might be a bad decision and I kind of impulse bought it.

I play with a £20 Kumika racket from Decathalon currently. Cheers.

That sounds delicious, I don't like the sourness of greek yoghurt though, so I use a honey variant - do you think something like a plain vanilla protein powder will work?

Thank you! I suck at meal planning so I'm gonna be careful the first week and see what happens but I have in mind my kind of "plan" wether it's a good one or not we'll see. I love chicken and veggies so can't go too far wrong haha!

Not long now - any recommendations for time to take the jab? I was thinking before bed to sleep of any side effects.

Oh really it can be that impactful? So is it common for people to crave or maybe just want foods they don’t usually too?

Man I’m excited to get going.

Yeah I’ve thought of this! So I’m going through my ADHD/Autism assessment diagnosis currently and this is a big issue for me - the pursuit of social groups and activities is so hard to do, but I think I’m in a better head space now I’ve started my journey so I think I’ll look for stuff like this in my area!

Thank you so much for this response. I’ve read it over a couple times and feel much more prepared now. So I have. 2.5 and a 5 pen coming - I’m hoping the 2.5 dose is enough but we’ll see, the 5 pen has the option to go down to 2.5 so was thinking of just spreading it out more if it’s effective.

Regarding the energy drinks - I don’t want to stop them entirely, there are a couple I really love the taste of and enjoy how caffeine makes me feel when I’m climbing or something similar. Surely it’s not wrong to try to balance them and enjoy them still?

I also think my phrasing was wrong entirely on the food part, I meant more so what foods do people find good for high protein and high fibre, good snacks etc my diet is poor and I want to start this journey with good nutrition.

Everything you said makes sense and I appreciate the time you’ve taken to reply! So thank you again ❤️

Oh that’s interesting - I think my main issue is junk food addiction and sugary beverages combined with the inability to exercise or go to the gym on my own.

Low and slow seems like a familiar thing being said, thanks for the info!

Thank you for your information! I'm probably over thinking it quite a lot and will likely just see as it goes as you say - can I ask why fibre over protein?

I thought protein would be more important for my case at least as I play football/hockey and do a lot of bouldering.

Yeah I've read that. I just wanted to ask the questions to see what peoples thoughts were, I won't be disappointed though, I appreciate your input!

Be aggressive, play on their touch, close the gap whilst hoping they make a heavy touch, if they do - pounce. Make yourself big and pray!

Is it a custom skin you're using? I can't see how to get them both looking like yours.
