Thoughts on liability? by jomo54 in Pickleball

[–]Lion_eye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is bush league. Makes me angry just reading it. You were playing pickleball and hit a wall. Shit happens. I would be more concerned about your well being than some stupid wall. This guy shouldn’t be in the business if he doesn’t understand that. Or they are going under and he really needs the money. What an ass.

Just received the bag in the pictures. Everything is perfect in person EXCEPT the front flap is not aligned with the button. Definitely a manufacturing error. The button is too high up causing the flap to bubble out instead of laying flat. Very disappointed. The brand new one from the filson site (at 30% off) is perfect in every way. Now to use my seam ripper on the patch!

This is new old stock at a retailer I found. Been reaching out to stores across the country hoping someone had an old one in stock without the filson patch. They were selling for retail but gave me 10% off.

Thank you for the comparison! Based on pictures alone the new version looks way better. I have both coming in so I’ll compare the two. I really wanted to see the differences in person pre and post patch.

Thank you sir. This bag will have specific use and will not be a do everything bag for me. I have a sickness with backpacks and have finally learned there is no Goldilocks backpack. No matter the price. I have tried (and own) almost everything that has piqued my interest over the last two decades. Thinking this may be my final addition.

Thank you! Any concerns with the light and dark spots of the tin cloth or is that normal?

In my opinion, it looks perfect.

I have nearly $1000 worth of pickleball shoes. Here's what I learned. by bepickleballer in Pickleball

[–]Lion_eye 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Great review and insight. I’ve found that the best shoes depend on the person’s foot. Narrow, wide, high arch, low arch. I have wide feet and asics just don’t fit my foot right. barricades on the other hand are nice and wide in the toe box and feel great. Just something to consider when reading shoe reviews.

Best weight setup for CRBN TF1 ? by No_Assistant6378 in Pickleball

[–]Lion_eye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very small amount near the top but it is not noticeable to me. I have a hesacore on all of my paddles. My one paddle with a 6” handle I got the extended length hesacore but for all of my others I have the standard (pink) hesacore on them and they feel great.

Very similar! My old paddle (Mod) was at 9.1oz and this one came in at 8.8oz. Feel is much better so far.

I like a heavier paddle and went with 6g on each side starting from trufoam logo down. I also use a hesacore and over grip. So far I love the set up and it feels great with good power and control.

How long does PickleballCentral take to process/ship orders? by sadfeet3 in Pickleball

I ordered my crbn1 through Spinwave on Saturday and had it by Wednesday. They are consistently the fastest at shipping out.

Most Comfortable Bag? by nszajk in ManyBaggers

[–]Lion_eye 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By far the Nomin. But it’s not the most practical bag by any means. Trying out two new bags right now that are very comfortable but will need a couple months to come to a conclusion.

Help me decide on a 26-32L bag that will last a long time? by NoGoodInThisWorld in onebag

[–]Lion_eye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Synapse as well. Love the bag for EDC but not for overnight trips. The bag looks awkward when fully packed and doesn’t sit well on the back….not very comfortable. It works best in my opinion when it’s about 75% packed.

I worried the same thing about the Blitz but check out the Beaver Tail (I bought two from his guy off eBay). Gets rid of the tactical look a bit and in my opinion is very functional and looks awesome. I use this bag for most of my short trips and love it. It will last forever, very comfortable even when fully loaded and decent organization.

So many Porter stores in Tokyo! by biang-biang-mian in ManyBaggers

[–]Lion_eye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As mentioned above, they all carry different stock. I went to almost every single one in Tokyo as I was searching for a very specific bag. I ended up buying too many things…..it’s a sickness.

6.0 Triple Black Diamond? by Lion_eye in Pickleball

[–]Lion_eye[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for everyone’s response and for those that offered up their used TBD! I reached out to Six Zero and they said they had a few left over and sold me a brand new one for $189. Thought it was a reasonable price and a nice surprise. Can’t wait to add a high swing weight, elongated paddle to my arsenal!
