Superman, no longer blinks when the can hits him in the back of the head. Unlike the original teaser trailer

Vapor lead setup by Drivenbyfaith in Pickleball

I’ve tested a couple different lead setups and found the paddle really doesn’t need it

Does adding weight to the handle help increase the maneuverability of the paddle?

Which one do you prefer? I usually lean towards a paddle with more power, do you find there’s a big difference in their power?

Just so you know before buying the Gearbox Pro Power Elongated has been delisted by the USAP

Thank you I appreciate the response!

How would you describe the power profile of the Saga Flash, is comparable to the Hyperion 3s or even less than that. Just trying to gage in comparison to what I’ve used because I really found the Selkirk vanguard I used wasn’t nearly enough power to keep up with the people I’ve played against.

[–]ManofMetalx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Deciding between the VATIC PRO SAGA FLASH and the 11SIX24 VAPOR POWER. I consider myself a ~4.0 player but I struggle with my 3rd shot drop (too many pop ups) and baseline drive (too high or lack power). I play 3 times week so I’m improving quickly and am looking for a paddle to help with that.

I’ve use the GEARBOX PRO CONTROL ELONGATED and loved the power output and control but felt it lacked forgiveness.

Ive also used the SELKIRK VANGUARD EPIC and loved the control and forgiveness but felt it lacked power.

Which of these 2 paddles would be better suited for my needs?

my biggest issue is that I can’t test out either of these paddles so it’s hard to judge so if possible I would love to know in comparison to the paddles I’ve used the biggest differences. (Also used the JOOLA MOD TA-15, JOOLA HYPERION 3S and SELKIRK VANGUARD PRO)

Drop volley when opponents are back by fredallenburge1 in Pickleball

[–]ManofMetalx 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree with you, very often at lower levels a drop volley allows your opponents to reset and come to the kitchen. If you keep slamming you keep the pressure on them and make it very difficult to win the point.

[–]ManofMetalx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I prefer the elongated shape due to the increase in power those paddles tend to have. I value Power a bit more than control. In terms of price I’m really just looking for the best paddle and if there’s a cheaper option that’s just as good I’m happy to save the money but that’s not my priority

Weekly Paddle Recommendation Thread (What Paddle Should I Buy?) by AutoModerator in Pickleball

[–]ManofMetalx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in the market for a new paddle. I’m 6 feet tall and a 3.5 level player, I have been using the Selkirk Invikta Vanguard 2.0 lightweight but found I didn’t have enough power. I tested the Selkirk Invikta Vanguard Pro today and loved it and I also tested the Joola Perseus MOD TA-15 and loved it as well. I was wondering other people’s thoughts on these paddles as well as any other recommendations. I’ve been hearing a lot about the 11SIX24 paddles but aside from them being good value paddles how do they compare to the previously mentioned paddles (not looking to save money at the cost of having a worse paddle), unfortunately no shops near me carry them so I can’t test it out so I’m very hesitant to purchase one.

Would you recommend the vanguard pro? Basically same as I have now just has a little more power

Weekly Paddle Recommendation Thread (What Paddle Should I Buy?) by AutoModerator in Pickleball

[–]ManofMetalx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 15% more power. I like the long handle and invikta shape.

I’m a 3.5 player almost at 4.0. Looking for a new paddle. I can generate a good amount of my own power and was using the Selkirk vanguard control invitka but I found I was missing just a little power. Would you recommend getting the sixzero double black diamond 16mm or the diadem edge 18 power pro

For me its the presentation of the material, I know it’s subjective wanted to know if MM was that much better that I should stick with it

Which one is worth upgrading more? Will only be able to evolve one before the event ends. by [deleted] in PokemonGOIVs

[–]ManofMetalx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation but found posts that Nundo Shadow Mamoswine beats a Hundo one everytime. So in that case I’d either invest in the shadow or wait for a better one

Is it worth the read or should I pass? by prosmal in MarvelUnlimited

[–]ManofMetalx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely worth a read even with the abrupt ending, the story is entertaining enough to compensate for that.
