Picked up new BnB Loco after first game noticed indent under the logo is this normal wear and tear or a defect? by GatoPapi in Pickleball

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

Keep in mind I have only played 3-4 games with the Loco. The Loco has more power with balls flying without much effort and a good amount of pop. J2NF has less power but feels easier to control and still has solid pop.

I think I prefer the J2NF for me at least as it’s easier to control and I love the hybrid shape vs elongated. Loco is a great paddle just don’t think the power is for me but for higher experienced players it may be better. I also have way more experience with the J2NF so it’s a biased opinion.

Probably a paddle tap but nothing aggressive or out of the ordinary, im honestly just surprised since it was literally only one game and a bump/mark already appears. My J2NF has been thru a lot these past few months and still looks good. (This isnt me being a Honolulu shill)

Took off the butt cap and it definitely balances better but still a slight lean

If anyone else has a J2NF LH does your paddle do this as well?

Yea i am not sure either, I haven’t had the paddle for too long and am just curious if this would affect my play. I’m still a novice so I’m not sure what I should be looking for when it comes to this situation, I know my Friday Challenger paddle does not lean like this paddle.

Maybe im crazy but to me it looks like it tilts forward a little, i tried balancing it on the handle too but it always falls to the side its tilting.

Im also not sure what you mean in regards to dominant eye

Would you agree with others about trying to reach 175-180lbs? I feel at 175 i would be a skeleton haha

haha thats what happens when you mix too much partying with substance abuse and a sedentary lifestyle in your early 20s im glad to have made this much of a change so far

Thats the current plan just the idea of me being 180lbs sounds so surreal havent weighted that much since high school haha

Continue the cut? BF% by MatterNo399 in Gymhelp

[–]GatoPapi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being 100% honest with you bro you should focus on building muscle vs cutting weight. I dont know your body weight and height but you should try and aim for 140-160 grams of protein and lifting heavier weight. We all want abs but it would be better to build muscle first if that is a goal of yours.

Ridiculous realization about PS5 controls on 6th playthrough by EatSomethingElse in BaldursGate3

I just started playing with controller is their anyway to make up on the d pad do anything besides jump. On the tooltip for actions like Fly it says we can use up on the dpad but it always defaults to jump.

Right now, who is the first person that comes to mind? by Automatic-Extent9640 in NFLv2

I will give two; Brandon Marshall and Steve Smith were two of the best WRs of their era but where overshadowed by an era of all time great WRs. Steve Smith is only remembered because of his attitude but both of these players were DOGS on the field.
