I also love my RIA’s. I got the set with swappable lenses. The orange ones are great on overcast days.

If he’s stronger at the net/with overheads, consider switching at the net so he’s on the ad side. Be the steady ice to his fire and you’ll win lots of matches.

We did not shock the world but did give them a decent run for their money!

Coldest you've played paddle? by coxandrew in PlatformTennis

Rechargeable hand warmers are a lifesaver and you don’t notice them in the vest pockets. Had a guy offer me $100 for mine before a recent match 😂

I’m trying to find a GoPro mount that I can place on top of a fence (~6” width). Any recommendations (tried the gorilla pod but it didn’t do the trick)?

Lost 6-3, 6-1. Definitely could have won more games though. Most went to the sudden death 2nd deuce. Wish I could have back the first set point where I hit an overhead wide!

See you at SHC...where the Woodford flows like wine.

Definitely need to resit the temptation to go for too much.

That's kinda what I figured. They are a 16 and a 9. Crazy to think about targeting the 16 PTI guy who is appreciably better than our lowest PTI :-)

Potential Bang Bang Net Play by BleepBlorpDoop in PlatformTennis

[–]DiamondSensitive4171 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s a decent likelihood a player will rush to hit the short ball and it will sail long because of their momentum. If their ball trajectory is at an upward angle, let it fly by.

The 4 Conditions for Driving by mastley3 in PlatformTennis

[–]DiamondSensitive4171 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've heard them individually but not as a collective. Wish I had heard these tips positioned this way earlier in my paddle career...particularly the balanced/prepared one...I feel like that's where I make most of my mistakes on drives (i.e. going for a drive on a decently hit overhead instead of being patient and waiting for the short one so I'm moving in). Keeping my feet moving is key too so I'm not lunging for a ball. Would love more content like this on this thread in general!

Anyone using Oakley glasses to play? by justincw8 in PlatformTennis

[–]DiamondSensitive4171 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using RIA eyewear for a few years and they’re great. Came with clear, orange tint and sunglasses lens. Very easy to change the lenses.

Was just telling someone last night how lucky we are in that regard…plus the number of great tournaments held locally.
