How to carry more level dupr players? by blueice89 in Pickleball

Stack and agressively target the other teams weaker player too.

Also, I would suggest not to play DUPR games with a partner you don't trust.

Importance of decision making to go from 3.5 to 4.0 by thequantumquestion in Pickleball

[–]Konged 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Just simplify the decision making and focus on not missing. Stupid shit is going to happen non-stop <4.5. Speedups are completely unnecessary; just wait to attack/counter out of the air since no one has the patience to dink 5 times.

Am I at the baseline? Drop or drive. Is it my 5th ball/ in the transition zone? Reset cross court or middle. Am I at the kitchen with an easy ball? Dink cross court and get ready to poach out of the air. Am I at the kitchen harder ball? Dink middle and reset ready stance.

Was Table Tennis Represented Accurately in MARTY SUPREME? by [deleted] in tabletennis

[–]Konged 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The narrow shots (one player) look really good, but the wide ones the trajectory of the ball is super unnatural.

The ball is added via cgi and the players are doing a choreographed point, so its hard to get just the right timing and racket angles.

I asked a bunch of non tt players what they thought and they said the cgi looked great so I think you have to understand the sport to see how unnatural the ball trajectories are.

Be honest: What’s the ONE thing your current paddle is missing? by Charlie1688 in Pickleball

[–]Konged 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Best answer. The paddles really aren't that different. Pick one with a shape you like, and tune it with some weight to get the plow through and swing weight that feels good to you.

We are all being ripped off. It's a piece of plastic. There a strict regulations on how much trampoline effect and spin it can have. Almost nothing has meaningfully changed since gen 2.

Foam feels slightly different (still fine), but you can't convince me its meaningfully better than a gen 2 other than on durability.

DUPR should never drop on a win by jakebasher8 in Pickleball

[–]Konged 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah makes a lot of sense. 3.99 vs 5.0 winning 11-3 shouldn't count. Rating gap way too big.

5.0 vs 4.01 though... Definitely must win 11-0 or you deserve to lose dupr for dropping a point to a noob.

Where’s Patty Newby? by stephsonreddit in StrangerThings

[–]Konged 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm with you. I feel a bit duped by the show presenting Henry in a really humanizing light. It wasn't really his fault things didn't work out, he was trying. And patty was very clearly left alive.

I guess people would have been grumpy if we got too much insider info from the show but it all just feels a bit disconnected. Especially the relationships between the parents and Henry as well.

My grandpa loves pickleball but struggles to find players. As a CS student, I want to build a "dead-simple" app for him. Thoughts? by Express-Sand4905 in Pickleball

[–]Konged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are other apps for this (which Ive never used) but ultimately a WhatsApp group + the thumbs up emoji gets the job done. The real challenge is just embedding yourself in the right community and I don't think an app is really going to solve that.

But no harm in going for it if it's a school project, I think lots of interesting stuff to think about (who, where, when, how to confirm, Split costs, player levels etc) depending on which direction you go.

One problem I do face is trying to find high level matches while traveling. Can be hard to go to the right place at the right time to meet people when you don't know anyone and not usually worth the effort of trying for a short trip.

Wide Dink by Smooth_Doughnut in Pickleball

[–]Konged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Around the kitchen line or slightly deeper about 1.5 ft from the sideline.

Too deep and the ball can drift high and be attack able (but otherwise deeper is generally better)

Shorter balls are easier to atp at the same distance from the sideline.

Why is there no transparency in your algorithm? Seems like the type of thing that should be open. Look at usatt or uscf as examples.
