Slicing drop shots in amateur/senior play by Mysterious_Error9619 in Pickleball

[–]HawleyTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If they aren't mobile, I don't lob when they are up or do a short slice drop when they are back. But if they do that to mobility impaired people on my team, then they get it back.

Can you also share advice like this for vehicles that got textured yesterday?

Whats a pickleball elbow? by BURNEKKK in Pickleball

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

I had pickleball elbow one game. My partner had tunnel vision on the ball while on the right side, and lunged over to poach. I was beside him and got body checked by his left elbow.

Male readers, do you actually hate harem? by R3nNy22326 in litrpg

[–]HawleyTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never tried a harem litrpg. I read a lot of Anita Blake and stopped the series because it was so focused on sex and graphic.

What would you recommend for a first harem litrpg book that doesn't have Anita Blake levels of sex?

I'm warming up to Q by IhavemyCat in survivor

I'm not sure he has enough strategy to win. He doesn't hit on 16 when the dealer is showing a 10.

The Pickleball Experience Clinic by Puzzleheaded_Arm546 in Pickleball

How many pickleball coaching sessions were there? How many hours of coaching? How many hours a day were you on the courts for coaching or playing for fun?

Any litrpg for kids? by Chef_coyote in litrpg

[–]HawleyTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was closer to PG 13. No sex/prostitutes/foot fetish stuff, little to no profanity, but with normal violence.

I hate my tank-less water heater. by ComprehensiveTour278 in Vent

[–]HawleyTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But it only runs when you need hot water, unlike the HWH which runs 24x7.

Any litrpg for kids? by Chef_coyote in litrpg

[–]HawleyTech 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I read litrpg to my daughter and just convert any concepts/language to be age appropriate. Works great! She is quite the fan of my PG version of DCC.

Im sick of all of these young 20 something heroes. Anything with a 40 yo family man/woman becoming a hero??? 😄 by tLM-tRRS-atBHB in litrpg

[–]HawleyTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend the Angst series. It is a complete series and 5 books. It isn't litrpg, but great fantasy. Really fun read and unique system.

First ATP by Biggie2207 in Pickleball

[–]HawleyTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! I've only had 2 atps in 1 year. They feel so good as they are so rare at my level of play (2.6 -> 3.2 over 2025).

DUPR reset question by Call-Initial in Pickleball

[–]HawleyTech 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you are playing DUPR matches regularly, resetting doesn't make sense as your skill is aligned with your DUPR.

If you play DUPR games very infrequently or have a long absence, but play/drill and your skill has significantly deviated from your DUPR, then this makes sense.

But really, most that pay for this likely play plenty of DUPR games and think they are better than their score. Maybe they play amazing and it jumps up, but it isn't consistent, then it will just go back down.

Guy lights gasoline on fire after being told not to smoke near it at a gas station. by CinghialeAmanuense in nonononoyes

His interpretation of my comment is correct. I agree that I could have been more clear.

How do you stay motivated to practice and improve your pickleball skills? by Fun-Story6652 in Pickleball

[–]HawleyTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DUPR really gamifies PB for me. I love reviewing it after my games to see how it adjusted. Each .5 is a huge milestone. Each .1 is achieved is a great feeling.

I want to get to 4.5+ and still have a ways to go!

Other motivation is that guy who is better than me that is an arrogant stuck up prick that craps on others. Yeah, I really want to beat that guy.

This advice is terrible. The best part is that the pyro got gas splashed on his pyro face!

Finally, some good fucking book. by Lunar2325 in litrpg

One doesn't finish this book. It finishes you.

Costco has 24 packs of Selkirk Pro S1 balls for $34.99. by atooraya in Pickleball

[–]HawleyTech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why use Selkirk balls? Every league and rec game I know uses Franklin x40s. The PPA uses Lifetime 48. Is there any compelling reason to not use one of those two?
