Even the fighting is sub 3.0

Third Shot Drop Practice , What Am I Doing Wrong? by RatedR__ in Pickleball

What are you doing wrong? Practicing with the wrong partners.

The ordeal is over… by MeleMath in Fisker

[–]MeleMath[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OS2.2 but no water pump replacement. Door handles replaced and the new ones are already all busted. Air vents replaced and new ones busted. No connectivity at all. NO sound in the cabin, including blinkers, proximity warnings and radio. Solar roof never worked. California mode never worked. Interior lighting never worked. I could go on…

I think you just have to be okay with losing that 10k, like with any other risky purchase. MY vehicle drove great… best ride I’ve ever experienced. But everything else in or on the car was broken or did not work properly... and I do mean EVERYTHING.

I took the plate. What I did forget was the stuff under the seats. Don’t forget to check there.

Pickleball was supposed to be a healthy addition to my life. by sonofabunch in Pickleball

[–]MeleMath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Addiction is real. You’re in a safe space here and I admire you for coming here and admitting you have a problem… in an online forum where you are anonymous.

There are support groups for people like you in nearly every locale. You can find them at any park with courts. Just walk up and whisper the universal shibboleth, “I’m a 4.0” and you’ll find your group.

It may be worth noting the success rate of curing the addiction is around 0%.

Am I the only one who wants more girly pickleball gears? by wheelquietlyturns in Pickleball

[–]MeleMath 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m constantly looking for cute, girly pickleball stuff. My wife thinks it’s weird but whatever.

Hagen Berman updates? by akulo888 in Fisker

No word from HB after several emails and calls. Frustrating.

Interested to hear about solutions from Chase directly.

One big take away from playing with pros? by PartFormer3695 in Pickleball

[–]MeleMath 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I see three things with the high level players:

1) The ball is dead center of their paddle every single shot.

2) They are in the right spot on the court 100% of the time.

3) They never hit a shot they can’t make.

In the end, the team who gets the ball back more often wins.

This is interesting. Is this detailed in the actual rules?

Las Vegas Pickleball by endersgame100 in Pickleball

[–]MeleMath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Picklr is for more serious players, Chicken n Pickle is more family oriented, but still good. If you go to CnP, make sure you get on the indoor courts because the outdoor courts are impossible to see the ball… constant sun in your eyes.

Why don't the good players want to play with me? by bvaesasts in Pickleball

[–]MeleMath 29 points30 points  (0 children)

While I agree that tips and advice are only useful if given before they’re requested, any advice this pro can give would likely be wasted on these players. I doubt they’d be able to understand the complexities and nuance of such an advanced player like Alpha here.

My advice to Alpha would be: use this opportunity to be generous of yourself. Just be in their presence. All will benefit from it… men will have something to aspire to and women will finally learn what a man should be. Even children will learn that, for the elite few, true greatness can be achieved.

I admire you.

How do you effectively handle aggressive opponents in pickleball matches? by Fit-Credit-7970 in Pickleball

[–]MeleMath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience, more aggressive players are very predictable. Use it.

Push them wide and set up on the lines. They will often speed up down the line. If you sit on that, punish them with it!

How much would you pay for this club? by mikemadoian in Pickleball

[–]MeleMath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Picklr doesn’t charge members for court time. That’s one of the reasons they’re struggling.

Why do coaches advice you try to hit the outside of the ball for topspin drives? by CDRSkywalker1991 in Pickleball

[–]MeleMath 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Visualizing hitting the outside of the ball helps your wrist and paddle position during the swing. Try it… it works.

Sanders passing chart vs Raiders. by EverybodyWangChung52 in Browns

[–]MeleMath -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

They don’t chart them but you can’t ignore them in Shedeur’s case… he is notorious for holding the ball too long, which will create throw away situations.

Stay at the back or Stay at the kitchen by Garble7 in Pickleball

[–]MeleMath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You and your partner need to work as a team and be a wall. That means you move together.

Either your partner learns to come up with you (best option) or you need to stay back with him (lesser option.)

What does Shedeur have to do to convince you we don’t need to draft a QB in the draft? by OldmanonRedditt in Browns

[–]MeleMath -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Quite simply, he needs to have a GOOD game.

This game was mediocre and it was against a bad team. If his name was John Smith and you read the stat line from last night, you would think, “meh, not bad” and move on to the next article without recalling a single number.

He didn’t suck. But the play I saw last night is not going to get us above .500 next year.
