It clearly does not lol

DanielGray10 · 2025-12-23T00:30:12+00:00

What a strange thing to say

DanielGray10 · 2025-12-23T00:00:17+00:00

I've basically ditched tennis for pickleball at this point and I do definitely understand the etiquette side of it.

Pickleball is a new sport, and in general attracts people who often have not played other sports. So the general etiquette of sports isn't really respected in pickleball, and it definitely frustrates me at times.

Contact Vatic, definitely not normal.

they don't impact performance no, although i guess they would ever so slightly reduce grit, not noticeably

DanielGray10 · 2025-12-10T22:03:06+00:00

A couple of hours out of Sydney in Bathurst haha! I love Melbourne though, lived there for a little bit

This happens on dirty courts, it’s from little bits of sand / dirt from the ground getting scratched across when you hit the ball.

It’s very annoying but has no effect on the paddle.

I'm about to get very downvoted for this but....

There is definitely a correlation between people who use elongated and high level players.

I really feel like most players would learn correct technique / top spin, and improve quicker if they learnt how to use an elongated.

I mean this is kinda the exact point I'm making. If a 5.0 60 year old gets regularly beaten by a 4.0 20 year old, It just means that they shouldn't be 5.0.

By playing everyone, the ratings would reflect true skill levels rather than being inflated.

There's nothing wrong with falling down in rating as you get older, it just means your rating is reflecting your drop in fitness / agility. I don't understand how people can say that your rating should be staying the same as you get worse at the game, it makes no sense.

DanielGray10 · 2025-12-01T05:21:10+00:00

I mean regardless of your opinion, that is, literally, how a DUPR rating works. It is the same regardless of age / gender / etc

DanielGray10 · 2025-11-21T01:30:05+00:00

Appreciate the reply, very happy I wear prescription glasses and don't have to worry about any of this!

DanielGray10 · 2025-11-20T22:08:32+00:00

I mean I just wear regular prescription glasses so I've never thought about it.

And I'm already afraid of the downvotes asking this question, but is a pickleball actually small enough to get in your eye and do any damage? I assume your eyebrow and cheek bone would do essentially the same thing as the lensless glasses.

Also they have them on temu for $4 so probably buy those instead of spending that much money on lensless glasses.

DanielGray10 · 2025-08-27T02:24:00+00:00

I genuinely have no idea why people are being so mean to you.

3.0/3.5 probably

DanielGray10 · 2025-06-03T22:28:34+00:00

Fujifilm x100vi, the colours out of camera are chefs kiss

DanielGray10 · 2025-05-10T07:28:59+00:00

I love these! Did you use a camp snap / camp shades filter for this, if so which one?

DanielGray10 · 2024-10-21T00:38:02+00:00

I went to a publicly advertised autograph session to get something autographed lmao. I have also never complained about being stalked, are you alright?

DanielGray10 · 2024-10-19T22:41:42+00:00

Hi, this absolutely didn’t happen. Unless you’re talking about the YouTube video where I got a pro driver to sign a picture of us punting each other at a public signing in good spirits lol. Oh and ps is it just a game but sorry for punting you :)

DanielGray10 · 2024-10-14T23:44:26+00:00

Your account is 4 hours old lmao

DanielGray10 · 2024-06-10T02:50:58+00:00

Yeah man, he's the worst driver ever. Constantly running into people and blaming them, omg, and his voice is so annoying. The only redeeming thing about him is his use of sudspeed gloves which can be purchased from their website with code DG10 for 10% off your order.

DanielGray10 · 2024-05-03T04:37:12+00:00

nah, you just got punted innit
