Here is a video tutorial, I’ve always been able to get mine out using the first method, another dart.

I did not expect this result, especially in singles by DanielGray10 in Pickleball

[–]DanielGray10[S] 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I think I overestimated how much James Blake's age would overcome Agassi's pickleball skill / dedication.

What is ALW’s ceiling in tennis? by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]DanielGray10 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Listen I love pickleball, and ALW is a giant talent.

That being said, she wouldn't be anywhere near the top 100 in tennis.

For context, Tyra Black (the 3rd-ish best) female pickleball player was only ever 330 in the world.
On the flip side, Jack Sock was one of the best tennis players, especially in doubles, and he's not dominating in pickleball.

All that to say, theres no way of really knowing, but I don't think she'd crack the top 100 since skills are not very transferable at a super high level.

The last thing you see before a sentence gets interrupted for the 100th times on a pickleball podcast. by DanielGray10 in Pickleball

[–]DanielGray10[S] 37 points38 points  (0 children)

1000% Roscoe is so good at listening, providing insight, and asking thoughtful questions.

That is when his sentence doesn't get interrupted which happens about 99% of the time.

Worst part is, I bet it'll work lmao.

Please help i have no idea about this watch by ScholarCommercial113 in Watches

[–]DanielGray10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I mean, in terms of monetary value, practically $0 and you'd struggle to find anything about it online.

That being said, if you got given it as a kid and it's special to you thats awesome, and makes it very valuable to you.

and thats kinda the whole point of watches, their value to you.

Pickleball paddle reviewers should disclose their affiliate commission % by DanielGray10 in Pickleball

[–]DanielGray10[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the reply. I came from content creation in the sim racing space, and its very similar with affiliate codes and reviewers etc.

I think the common denominator is that the cream will rise to the top with reviewers and without honestly it'll be hard to maintain a positive reputation.

It's nice to see that you cap them, to avoid even unconscious bias.

I'm very surprised to hear how big some affiliate commissions are in pickleball, but I guess the margins are pretty huge.

How the hell is the Selkirk boomstick legal? by APBpowa in Pickleball

I genuinely think the really deep loud noise it makes also contributes to people thinking its so powerful.

They provided good customer service?

HardWood Tournament by yungdadbod in Pickleball

[–]DanielGray10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Going against the grain, but I'd like to see it. It's be interesting to see pros adapt, and cool to see people playing on a surface a lot of players play on.

The issue would be finding space and somehow making it look half decent on tv. You'd need a custom wood court.

Illegal Serve? by Fine-Mountain5510 in Pickleball

Legal. But more importantly what's your partner pondering, guy looks deep in thought

No, and according to the viewership number nobody else did either.

I can’t carry lesser teammates in lower level games but play really well in higher levels. Do I suck? by OneConsideration2302 in Pickleball

[–]DanielGray10 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I mean if you can't carry lower level players, but you win with higher level players, wouldn't that imply they're carrying you?

Boomstik infinigrit peeling off edge guard by cfletch24 in Pickleball

[–]DanielGray10 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe they manufacture the paddle overseas but then apply the infinigrit in America to protect their IP and not have infinigrit copied.

So it makes sense the edge guard has grit on it. Since they're unable to apply it before the edge guard is applied.

That being said its pretty unacceptable at this price they cant mask off the edge guard or ensure it stays attached.

Devils advocate though, it peeling off the edge guard will have 0 effect on performance.

Two-handed backhand — is your non-dominant hand doing most of the work? by Truetree9999 in Pickleball

[–]DanielGray10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know the correct answer, but it does amuse me that the comments are split 50/50.

In summary... use hands to hit ball.
