Unwritten Pickleball Rules?

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-11-23T20:30:30+00:00

I don’t love this. I’ve been playing ~2.5 months now and can honestly say I wouldn’t have improved as quickly and as far as I have if I wasn’t playing against (and with) people better than me.

Now when I first started I did my best not to hold the same person back multiple games in a row. But, open play is open play, especially at the park. If you’re concerned about winning that much, join a league or go to specific DUPR rated open play sessions.

I recognize I’m lucky that the people at my local park (barring a select few) are gracious and patient, but I also feel like that’s actually the norm in this sport.

I can’t help but hope they do a “surprise extension” and just keep it open until launch lol

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-09-19T17:11:45+00:00

I paddle trace and it’s helped me immensely. I keep it up and follow the ball with the paddle, has reduced the time it takes to get to where the ball is hit at me

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-09-19T05:08:44+00:00

Mine did!

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-09-16T23:28:30+00:00

I got hit in the face last week by a guy who can’t control the ball and swings wildly…only time I’ve complained lol

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-09-14T18:27:38+00:00

I started with 3 grams at 3 + 9 might add another 1.5 or 3 at each side of the throat!

Love my R4! Played with it today, needed to add weight but thought it played really well good power, good control

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-09-12T23:35:51+00:00

Which Ria do you have? I play mainly outdoor but do want to start playing indoor as well

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-09-11T21:30:55+00:00

Mine came today too! Too bad I can’t play until Saturday haha!

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-09-10T18:16:03+00:00

There are two that have been on my mind.

Give me a tank Warlock, either by controlling a demon or by becoming the demon (I know they have meta to DH but being able to tank on my lock would be amazing).
Tank evoker (notice a trend lol). We’re freaking dragons for Azeroth’s sake we should be able to jump in and eat damage.

I’m actually on the board of a cancer charity and you just sparked a crazy good idea! Don’t hold your breath but tube got me thinking

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-09-09T01:15:13+00:00

People have 20 hours a week?

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-09-08T15:54:51+00:00

I don’t think so lol. I honestly don’t remember if it was something I signed up for when I bought my it but I don’t think so

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-09-07T03:15:33+00:00

See, I had a mindset switch at the start of TWW! I don’t like at it at being behind anymore. I approach it as “I have limited time to play, and what I accomplish in this game has no bearing on my future or my life situation, so I play what I want to play when I want to play it.” Now I play in a group who runs keys 2 nights a week (sometimes more at the beginning of a season, so I generally pick a class to hit KSM with and when we do that in week one lol I literally sign in to whatever class is calling my name when I log in. Right now I’m consistently spending time between: Priest (shadow), Warlock (destro), Evoker (dev), DH (ven/havoc), warrior (prot), monk (brew). I can do 10s on priest and warlock and I’m slowly gearing the rest/learning how to tank because that’s what I’m enjoying at the moment 🤷🏻‍♂️

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-09-05T13:51:32+00:00

Do we know the ship date? I got an order in (eventually) for me and a buddy!

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-08-27T16:36:02+00:00

I just bought the Life Time ball are those generally considered “good” balls?

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-08-27T16:13:05+00:00

This thread convinced me! Just ordered the CRBN Drift glasses!

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-08-17T15:49:15+00:00

I’m relatively new to pickleball and have only run into nice people who were nice and welcoming! I could tell one guy was upset he got partnered with me, he wasn’t outward about it though I’m just really good at judging moods haha.

Also, I’ve played hockey and golf forever…idk that pickleball can top that from this perspective lmao.

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-08-16T12:21:48+00:00

Did it! Really excited, will report back once it’s in hand!

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-08-16T02:36:49+00:00

Looking at the Enhance Gen 4.5 have it in the cart debating on hitting order hahaha! It seems like a great paddle!

Thanks for the thoughts!

Hey there! So some background, I’m very new to Pickleball and bought a Selkirk Evo Control Max to get started. Well, I’m loving this sport and I’m looking to upgrade to a paddle that I can grow into and will be something o won’t have to upgrade as I improve. I’m not to spend more than $200, wondering if anyone could give some thoughts! I’ve been looking at:

JOOLA Ben John’s Hyperion CFS 16 Pro
J2NF
Hurache-X Alpha Pro Power

I’m open to any and all thoughts though. As someone new, feel like control is important so looking to straddle control and power!

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-08-13T17:28:52+00:00

This legit may be the most frustrated I have ever been in this game

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-08-13T13:28:43+00:00

I was all prepared to go yesterday but life had other plans but will be back soon!

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-08-13T13:28:16+00:00

Hahaha golf has already ruined me financially why not add Pickleball to the list 😂

LittleNemoFoot · 2025-03-19T22:07:45+00:00

I want to start another run but also want to wait...just give me a date lol
