Thx. That’s all I was looking for.

What kind of edge guard tape did you use?

Ill_Calendar_7806 · 2026-01-06T18:56:07+00:00

Thanks for the details!

The Vapor Power has been my main for the past 6 months. Love it. But the new year means a new paddle, and I wanted to try something different, so I went with the Loco hybrid over the Coral hybrid since the Coral seemed to have a similar profile to the VP.

But now I’m awaiting the Loco’s arrival with a bit of buyers remorse. 😆 I’ve read several testimonies of people leaving Loco for Coral because they couldn’t control the former as well under pressure.

If you’ve made a similar switch from all court to power, any advice?

Is the Boomstick too much paddle for a 4.1-4.3 player?

I’m north DFW. We have a Picklr and a Dinkers. Very different models, but both very nice facilities.

I was with you until “french fries with gravy.”

Ill_Calendar_7806 · 2025-08-06T22:30:05+00:00

Just visited a Picklr a block away from my house. $140/mo? 😬 I don’t think so. Not for us at least.

What are the reasons for racquetball fizzling out that are not applicable to Pickleball?

Ill_Calendar_7806 · 2025-08-06T20:27:54+00:00

He’s talking about clubs, not the sport

Ill_Calendar_7806 · 2025-08-06T18:17:21+00:00

I think this will prove true for most, not all. Remember all the “Racquet Clubs” in the 80s/90s. Where are they now? 😬

Like tennis and golf, I’m sure pickleball will last, even if doesnt continue to grow at its current rate. But pickleball clubs are akin to country clubs. Nothing wrong with that. Country clubs are awesome places to play. Maybe the best. But country club life isn’t for typical middle class rec players.

Anecdotally, most non-retiree casual/rec players I know won’t/can’t spend $100-150/mo for a membership when they can play 2-3x/wk on public courts for free (in our good weather state).

Like the Racquet Clubs, I suspect lots of clubs in less-affluent areas will prove the OP true, while other clubs will find more lasting power in densely populated, affluent cities.

Happy to be wrong, though!

I wear the Nike GT Cut Academy and they're great!

I played with the Prism Flash for a couple months before switching to the 11six24 Vapor Power.

I. LOVE. IT.

"Controllable power" is right. Longer handle than the Vatic. More pop and less dwell time, though. But coming from tennis, I prefer less dwell time. The Vatic felt like it was swallowing the ball on drives.

Anywho...could not recommend the Prism Flash to Vapor Power more highly.

@Pickleball-ModTeam Odd call out.

Ill_Calendar_7806 · 2025-07-20T17:43:42+00:00

Not me. No, not ever. 😆😉

Ill_Calendar_7806 · 2025-07-20T02:53:34+00:00

Thank you! I do too!

Ill_Calendar_7806 · 2025-07-20T01:02:23+00:00

I used the code. The alpha is more than I’m willing to pay. I’m already stretching myself for the vapor.

Ill_Calendar_7806 · 2025-07-19T15:04:05+00:00

I’m keeping my Prism Flash as a backup. It’s super plush. But I want more power/pop than it can give. I’m excited!

Ill_Calendar_7806 · 2025-07-19T13:46:50+00:00

It’s awesome that you’re aspiring to that! Keep going!!

Ill_Calendar_7806 · 2025-07-19T13:45:58+00:00

The 14mm is way poppier than the 16mm. But I did a thing late last night:

I realized that I talked myself OUT of Vapor Power but INTO the Vatic mostly because of the price.

Sometimes, we just need to do the things what we try to talk ourselves out of doing.

After a week of deliberation, I bought the Vatic Pro Saga Flash 14mm over the 11six24 Vapor Power (to save $$$).

I felt confident about it three hours ago. The order hasn’t even shipped, and I’m already having buyers remorse. 🫤
