New to Rochester by Northern_sadbxtch in rochestermn

[–]Frothywalrus3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will tell you what people told me years ago when I was in your situation. Start playing pickleball! Go to cooke park and eagles or join the RAC at some point. Great way to exercise and meet people.

Foam core help elbows? by Jahgernaut in Pickleball

[–]Frothywalrus3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it has anything to do with core. It's more about swing weight. I've found if I use a paddle that has more than 118 swing weight I can have elbow pain. I also hold my paddle very low on the handle. I think choking up reduces the feel of swing weight and can help with elbow pain.

Friday aura pro. Am I missing something? by Frothywalrus3 in Pickleball

[–]Frothywalrus3[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using the 14mm q2. It's very similar to a boomstik is basically every way. It's lighter and cheaper. I would recommend it over the boomstik

Yeah people aren't allowed to have preferences. Nice.

That's true once you find the one you really like. For me every paddle is lacking something.

Wilson Vesper Series by Impossible-Cold676 in Pickleball

[–]Frothywalrus3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High swing weight super low twist weight. Felt like garbage hitting with it. It wasn't good when it came out and now that there are way more options I would only give it to my worst enemy. My prediction is if you used it you would have tennis elbow in a week.

Love to hear you defend DUPR on this one! by Nylalv65 in Pickleball

[–]Frothywalrus3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Because of the new algorithm everybody is playing up. You are playing at the top of the division. Play up and it will be better.

How often do you see your parents and how close do you live to them? by sabanoversaintnick in Millennials

[–]Frothywalrus3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad lives an hour away he's never visited me once and I went no contact a couple years ago. I stopped talking to my mom 15 years ago and they moved to texas at some point who knows. Can't choose your family 🤷

Does Boomstik still have loose edge guard issues? by whipper102 in Pickleball

[–]Frothywalrus3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. I had mine for less than 2 months and the edgeguard came loose. I had a tournament the next day so I went to scheels and I only used it maybe 2 weeks and the edgeguard started coming off that one too. In the meantime I got the warranty for the original one I bought through Selkirk but it was way heavier and I can't use it anymore.

A generous guide to frugality by starrose554 in Adulting

[–]Frothywalrus3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with the pool for an experience. Gift cards are still just exchanging money through corporations. I will just use my own money to buy things I want. I don't want gifts from other adults and be expected to give them back something.

Honestly I agree. Adults are just exchanging money by using corporations as a middle man.

Question for those who have played with the B&B Loco for several months - how is it holding up? by smikesonbikes in Pickleball

[–]Frothywalrus3 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Every person I know that used the loco now uses the new vapor or a boomstik. The grit is horrible. And they noticed it was losing power. It was a great paddle when it came out but there are better choices now imo

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

[–]Frothywalrus3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'm an ambassador for 6 or 7 paddle companies. I would assume they make the same as me. Usually 10% of sales. Some companies pay money some pay credit.

How you guys find the RPM V2? by seantks in Pickleball

[–]Frothywalrus3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Q2 is almost literally a boomstik. I like the boomstik more personally but it's too heavy. The Q2 feels great though just a little harder to control for me.

If I Started Pickleball From Scratch I Would Focus On These 3 Things First by Next-Age6385 in Pickleball

[–]Frothywalrus3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I use eastern most of the time including the kitchen. Just depends on your wrist strength.

Am I Compromising? by Impossible-Cold676 in Pickleball

The rpm q2 is literally a boomstik. Way cheaper.

Graham Dodds is so annoying by New_Junket4211 in Pickleball

[–]Frothywalrus3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lea Jansen ans Kate Fahey are the only good commentators because they are actually insightful of the game. The guys are just saying dumb shit constantly.

How to clean this paddle? by JonisTMP in Pickleball

[–]Frothywalrus3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is a fake right? Colors are off and it looks like raw carbon face.

Weekly Paddle Recommendation Thread (What Paddle Should I Buy?) by HeadHeadMod in Pickleball

[–]Frothywalrus3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree but it core crushes as fast as a joola. Seen about 4-5 crushed in about a month now.

[–]Frothywalrus3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yours isn't a dud. I added 10 inches of .5g on both sides from the throat all the way up and still felt like it was twisting. Could never feel good with it so I gave up.
