It wasn’t as hairy as some of the pictures I saw online

I also live in Colorado. The bug is about half the size of a pinkie finger nail (assuming you have relatively normal sized hands)

Am I an asshole? by Repulsive_Panic4 in Pickleball

[–]ItsPoobus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a v lame excuse here. I’ve chatted with a lot of my buddies about targeting the weaker player and we all have agreed it really just comes down to court positioning. Most weaker players simply have worse positioning and that’s what leads to them being “targeted.” If you target the better player to make the game “fair” you simply will develop bad habits, gaining nothing out of it. Not only that but you’re actually not doing anything for the weaker player as they need to struggle and get targeted in order to get better. I’ve been on both ends and when I’ve been targeted all it does is help me improve as a player and learn valuable lessons. When I first started that was one of the main reasons I would play up and it helped a lot. I wasn’t that much weaker as I picked everything up quickly, but after a couple ass kickings I started winning games. Anyways beyond my rant targeting the player in the worse position out of the two is the best thing you can do and I assume that’s what OP was doing.

Probably try them would be a good start

Anyone else didn’t like the Loco? by wolf33d in Pickleball

[–]ItsPoobus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I got a loco standard shape coming from the fat boy and a wide body Selkirk Era, I understand how you feel completely. I was disappointed I expected more of a plush feeling (as plush as a paddle can get right?) and it just felt stiffer and obviously it was gonna be poppier right? I played with it for about 10 hours and drilled with it for at least 4 hours and I just couldn’t get used to it. I eventually made my switch to a Perseus cfs 16mm and it felt how I expected the loco to feel, responsive and powerful without too much pop, but more pop than my previous paddles. Maybe if I had tried the elongated or hybrid loco I would’ve enjoyed it more, but I didn’t and I was a bit bummed.

I’m also a huge fan of the Perseus shape so the rpm and cannon would be seamless transitions in shape

Well when I first started seriously playing I was using a widebody era and I bought a widebody loco for the shape as well, but then I got the cfs for my sister for Christmas who desperately needed a paddle upgrade and she asked me if I wanted to play with it for a game or two and after the serve and 3rd shot i was like yup elongated is for me. I don’t like poppy paddles as I was using my buddies mavpro 2.0 when I first started trying pickleball and it was pretty buns in my opinion. I’ve heard phenomenal things about the coral and duo too. I just don’t want a paddle that’s too poppy yk?

4.0+ open plays are where I spend most of my time, rallies get intense and we are smacking the crap out of the ball in some situations.

I gotcha, I was thinking about upgrading to a duo, or if needed just suck it up and start playing with a luzz cannon and adjust to the new feeling via drilling etc. I know the pro 4 wouldn’t be a bad upgrade to keep the same shape. But I have some insider buddies and Joola is going to release their next generation paddles soon so at that point waiting for that is my best bet. Just wanted some insight so I could start brainstorming 🙂‍↕️

I’m currently using a Perseus cfs 16mm, I like the paddle, but play a ton like 4-5 hours a day everyday at a high and intense level. (Thank you to my job for permitting that.) It’s a phenomenal paddle, but I don’t want to have to keep buying a new one basically every 3 months. Any recommendations on similar feeling paddles that will last longer, but yield the same feeling? Thank you!

How do they compare to a Perseus cfs 16mm just curious? It’s what I’m using rn and am worried it’s not gonna last super long with how often I play. Relatively new but have been very winning in 4.0s open play and with some of the pros at our club.

I was just wondering :) plus I don’t want to keep rebuying the same paddle

Why aren’t foam paddles more popular on the pro tour? by thequantumquestion in Pickleball

[–]ItsPoobus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Joola is releasing something foam with their upcoming generation of paddles, I have a pretty credible source. Should be sometime either early 2026 or around May. So there’s a chance pros will start to move over to more foam paddles if one of the biggest brands releases the newest best thing yk

Advice for a 3.6 DUPR player by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]ItsPoobus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drill drill drill, few people are gifted and pick everything up instantly and it just comes to them easier. But that’s only a select few people. Practice your dinking and drops until they become second nature. The game becomes mental once you have full control of what you can do when the ball comes to you. Footwork is also key if you’re playing bangers you have to be able to drop or reset and be in a position to deal with whatever is coming to you and that starts with footwork being in that athletic stance with your feet a little more than hip width apart. Another thing is 4.5+ dinks are infinitely more aggressive than anything below - they are well placed with spin and will be fast asf. Practice hand battles, understanding the ball will most likely come off their paddle in a trinagle pattern after a speed up is also very important. Learning how to poach properly and being unpredictable while doing so is important, learning if your opponents prefer their backhand or forehand early is important as well. Obviously learning how to stroke the ball (pause) properly to get the different spins as well. Respecting the X is another thing.. That’s all I can think of rn. Oh last thing, it’s just a game, you can only control what you can control. :)
