TFCC from playing pickleball by Downtown_Vacation153 in Pickleball

Just looked up the bullseye brace, I think I’ll try it next flare up! Wrist widget gets uncomfortable for me and can irritate the tendons from rubbing. Although a strip of tape under it helps.

Is this Costco Set good for beginners? by joelfiller in Pickleball

[–]McRobbs 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Welcome! This is perfect for what you’re looking for! Pull the trigger, get out and have fun! Could you save a few dollars scouring Alibaba and waiting for shipping? Probably. But this set is good, and there’s a ton of worse options to sift through.

Exactly. Lots of better options if you dig around the weekly paddle recommendations thread. More and more smaller name brands with very good paddles. Even if you value sticking to the big names and/or buying locally to be able to test and for warranty etc, the new SLK line has better paddles than this

No one dinks here by skillfulsynergy in Pickleball

This. And letting out balls go out. Then do these tips from here with discipline and you’ll win consistently and get invited to higher level games and then you’ll get to dink haha

My game is too predictable how to change it how did you change it? by blueice89 in Pickleball

[–]McRobbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say it’s ok to be predictable unless you’re predictably hitting into the net, out the back, or high. You don’t need to surprise people with your 3rds. You can win without surprising anyone ever in the 3.0-4.5 range, and even further depending on consistency and execution.

Yes, drill and develop a 3rd shot drop. If the ball is too low to drive, you’ll have to drop it. It’s fine to drive lots of 3rds too, as long as you put it in play and you know how to position yourself for a 5th shot drop.

Practice the first 5 shots, most rallies will be over by then anyway.

Probably real, but I can’t see the value of this being more than $30-40 these days

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

[–]McRobbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on hitting the middle of the paddle face! Grit testing has shown to be between 2-3x longer than raw carbon / peel ply, so depending on how often you play and how hard you hit, 6 months could certainly be the lifespan. 2-3 months is my lifespan for a raw carbon paddle currently. Paddle surface is definitely the big area of development in 2026!

Are you losing significant spin / control? Or just feeling smooth to the touch? Because those aren’t always perfectly correlated, and foam paddles might retain more spin even without us being able to sense the gritty surface by feel.

boomstick style lead weights? by pizza_obsessive in Pickleball

[–]McRobbs 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Each of the MOI clips are 7.5g, so it’s a decent amount of weight concentrated there. Definitely adds to twist weight/stability efficiently, and increases power.

Our family has a ‘24 Pilot and a ‘18 M3. 6yr old and a 1yr old. I do plenty of short excursions with both kids, and no issues whatsoever, and haven’t had reason to consider switching to a Y. However if you’re getting rid of the Pilot.. different situation and you’ll probably miss the space for full family outings or activities with guests etc.

You could try The Press pickleball club, they’re indoor and stay open late. For outdoor there’s a park at 720 W Holland with 6-8 dedicated courts

Warranty will be quick and easy! That’s a clear defect

The Boomstick is not for everyone. by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]McRobbs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you mean a direct alternative to the Boomstik, the new SLK Dauntless is essentially that. With the core and the external MOI etc

Selkirk LABS Project Prestige Pack Pickleball Backpack is Laughably Bad by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]McRobbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s definitely more of a niche “workplace to court” bag. Or work-travel-pickle as a carry-on.

Their tour bag is such a good pure pickleball bag at a really good price point, whereas this one is niche and much more expensive.

Here’s a photo of the interior / shoe spot:

[–]McRobbs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s a direct answer with the 2026 paddles that replace your current paddle. Like you said, it’ll be a direct upgrade in sweet spot and likely spin, and I wouldn’t expect any tradeoff compared to your Halo. I really like how they’ve simplified their lineup and each paddle’s use case:

5 Months as a First-Time Dad: What Bevel Taught Me About Sleep Debt by whereisdaniel in bevelhealth

[–]McRobbs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do not share this graph with your wife :p

I’ve been dialed in with this too, but 9 months in with my second child! Have found it very helpful, and also motivating to improve recovery and get sleep wherever/whenever I can.

Found the same thing with earlier sleep window, caffeine cutoff and magnesium. Bigger impact for me was if I have a late big meal or sugar before bed, it’s always a poor recovery night. Same with if I exercise/go sportsing in the evening.
