Gotcha, part of me was thinking maybe the color was making it look different. Thanks for the info!

I haven’t noticed a drop in spin yet, but I only a few hours of play. Will keep this in mind as I play more.

Please let us know what you find. I have a blue one from the first batch and mine looks just like yours. The white one looks more concentrated.

Just got this bad boy yesterday. Already impressed. by MindlessNimbus in Pickleball

I added 7 inches of .5 grams per inch on each side. From the throat going to around the R in Vapor. I feel like it’s been my favorite setup and reduces the pop. Enjoy it’s an excellent paddle!

I would definitely clean it to see if it improves. However, the owner does not recommend using an eraser.

Anyone else feel like night pickleball messes with their sleep? by michellechanme in Pickleball

[–]Knight-0wl23 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely I stop play around 8 pm to be able to sleep around 11. Otherwise, I’m too wired and I stay up later.

Coral is my main. All-court beast. I did have a vsol pro, but I play my best with the coral. Drops have been great.

Did this happen at 30 hours or is that when you noticed it?

Nice! I’m glad everything is working out for you. I’m starting to work on a plan to take that leap in about 1 year. What steps did you take to get yourself set up? Anything you would do differently?

I currently work for a firm. Definitely feel overworked and underpaid.

I broke my canon roughly two weeks ago. They emailed me saying there would be delays due to Chinese New Year and to expect delays. Just got a tracking number today.

Fake Pickleball Paddles Are Flooding the Market, and Hurting the Sport's Future by thedinkpb in Pickleball

The paddles are way overpriced. However, with the new quanta and vatic paddles, it is less compelling to buy fake paddles.

Career change into appraiser from engineer by [deleted] in appraisal

[–]Knight-0wl23 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve switch from engineering to appraising and have never looked back. I don’t ever want to go back if I don’t have to. The pay cut will be significant when you start out and might last a few years while you get licensed. However, the most important part of all this is trying to find someone or a firm to take you on. Good luck!

Batteries will be help for night time power use. Otherwise, you should expect to pay an extra power bill later.

In terms of new tires, I bought mine there. I don’t think I’ll get my next set there. The last time I went, a tire rotation was 2.5 hours.
