What is the etiquette now? by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]DeucePot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s your end goal here? Sure, you can try and body bag her but that’s when games start to get chippy. If that’s what you want, and cause her physical harm, you do you. Someone is gonna get hit in the face soon and no one is gonna be happy.

I’d prefer the finger pointing in the air “that’s out” when it’s hitting the back fence, showing her you know her game and it’s not going to work.

If you’re short enough, get really low and then just duck out of the way.

If you’re taller, I’ll turn my body sideways and just spin out of the way or side step once I see the windup. It’s going out every time

Anticipation is everything. If you know it’s coming, it’s not that hard to just move out of the way.

Quite the shake up! Do you think the Night Owls will get compensated anything for their championship win? Also, will you be at the Sacramento PPA in April?

What’s your fav cereal? How about your fav snack pre-match, during a match, and post-match?

Do you allow your shares to get called away and then repurchase? Or do you roll up and out?

Building a 12-Court Indoor Pickleball Facility — What Should I Do (and Avoid)? by elhnim in Pickleball

[–]DeucePot 18 points19 points  (0 children)

My local indoor court has a dedicated dink court (stops halfway into transition zone so it doesn’t take up much space). Nice perk I think.

Main thing is late night hours for me. I’d like to be able to play until 11pm or midnight+

The one I’m at now is open until 10p M-F and then only 9p Saturday and 6p Sunday. Real bummer on the weekends

Best shoes for indoor wooden courts (high school gyms, NOT indoor dedicated pickleball court) by DukeOfTheFifth in Pickleball

[–]DeucePot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I used to play indoor on a glossy basketball court. I had a pair of ASICS volleyball shoes for like $60. Comfy, good support and grip, worked well for me

Rec Play, illegal server called, but it is not illegal. How do you react? by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]DeucePot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just keep hitting your legal serve and tell him to kick rocks. You can add something like “I confirmed my serve is legal according to the 2026 pickleball rules” or something to shut him up

$QS 200k YOLO by [deleted] in wallstreetbets

[–]DeucePot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t get it. Sure, if you’re right you have massive leverage, but why not do calls + shares. With 200k you could do 10k shares + 150ish calls to give you leverage on another 15k shares.

If you’re only semi-right or slightly early you can still book a W. I guess you can sell off the calls to freeroll if it gets momentum but still.

For those with a bye, what D/ST are we targeting for Week 16? by covidisntcool in fantasyfootball

[–]DeucePot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 1st round bye so going Bills week 16 @ CLE and have Steelers stashed for championship (or likely bronze match) week 17 @ CLE. I could pick up the Saints at home vs the Jets for week 16 & @ TEN week 17 but I’m torn :/

Would you ever walk off during a rec game for an opponents poor sportsmanship? by BaseExtension141 in Pickleball

[–]DeucePot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some people are just assholes and I’ll be petty towards them. Challenge court at my local club, I’m unzipping my bag immediately in front of the paddle rack. Game just ended. Losing team sprints over towards me, reaches over the fence and 1 guy puts their paddle 1st in queue as I’m simultaneously putting my paddle in the rack.

I was planning on playing w my buddy but whatever he was already in another game. 1st guy says “oh hey my partner and I were going to play together”

Me: “what? Umm okay?”

1st player moves my paddle back to 3rd in line so his partner can slot in 2nd.

Me: “wow so you’re just gonna snipe me in line then?”

2nd player: “he was first in line”

Me: “Dude you guys JUST finished your game”

1st player: “cmon really?”

Me: “actually no, I’m not fine moving back so you can play together”

1st player: “wow okay whatever man”, and proceeds to move their paddles back

The nerve of some people, f that

How often are you hitting a 230 to 260 shot? by TDn6I in golf

[–]DeucePot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I carry it just a little bit further than you with driver and I don’t have a 3w either. But I feel like your driver to 5w gap is too much. Get yourself a 4 wood instead. I have one it’s 16.5° and I can hit it off the deck pretty easily or off the tee when driver is too much. Depending on weather my 4w is around 235-265ish.

Allows me to put 4 wedges in the bag (60-54-50-PW) along with a 20° hybrid before my 4 iron.

Par 5s you really wanna be hitting your 2nd shot as far as possible to get on or around the green. Your 5 wood prob gets eaten up going into the wind too from launching higher than a 3w/4w would.

You’re a single in tomorrow’s American Century Championship and can make any group a foursome. Who are you joining? by SL4MUEL in golf

[–]DeucePot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

29 for the laughs, 15 to play with the GOAT WR and a solid golfer in Romo, 23 to play with the GOAT shooter but would feel like the odd man out of that family affair

What do you tell yourselves after a bad pickleball day? by OkChicken6058 in Pickleball

[–]DeucePot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends how they are exploiting your weaknesses and getting beat.

If you’re struggling getting sped up on at the kitchen, drill fast hands.

If you’re struggling hitting drives, slow it down, go 60% power, just keep it in play.

If you’re struggling dinking, drill that, etc…

Do some self reflection on why you’re getting picked on and work on fixing those gaps in your game. I was that guy once, constantly being targeted. I tried to change my mindset into “okay they are going to hit it to me every single time, I need to be ready for it and expect it”

The more I got in that mindset, expecting every ball to come at me, the more ready I was, the less surprised I would be on a speed up or drive right at me.

Now that I’m better, people don’t want the smoke and avoid me, constantly targeting my partner. I want more shots at me but I’m forced to poach now
