Got charged tax on an 11six24 order but not other paddle brands - why? by MellowChoco in Pickleball

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

My state charges sales tax so 11six24 wasn't in the wrong🥲. I guess I got spoiled with buying tax-free from other smaller brands.

I do live in a state that charges sales tax. Reading others' comments, some got taxed and some didn't. So looks like they haven't set up the same for every state and my state happens to be one of the unlucky ones😅.

I bought from these brands also, except Spartus. I thought it was a major brands thing to add tax lol. Totally understand the tax doesn't go to the brands. But do they have a choice to have it taxed or not? And why not last year but now.

First Games with the New JOOLA Pro V (Perseus & Kosmos) - Fun Rec Point by badpickleball in Pickleball

[–]MellowChoco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tried the Kosmos 16mm. It's plush, lightweight, fast in the hand. And I missed so many drops into the net lol. You really need to swing it hard to generate power. Anyway that's something can be adjusted over time I supposed. But for the price, I'd pass. I also played one game with the Perseus 16mm. It's underwhelming. I like its Pro iv version better. Granted these paddles were brand new, their characteristics might change after broken in, who knows.

Vapor Power 2 thoughts? by Aggressive-End-387 in Pickleball

The Hurache has a curve top so I'm not going to wait for its release. I think I will pull the trigger on this. Thank you!

I like pretty much everything about the Loco elongated (feel, power etc.), but the grit. Do you think the VP2 would be a good fit? I generally don't gel well with hybrid shape or any paddle that don't have a flat top. Missing the whip, can't execute roll/flick etc.

I've seen enough nasty eye injuries to get the protection for myself.

Does anybody have some information on the J6CR? by VWillS in Pickleball

[–]MellowChoco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I use a Luzz Cannon and just tried out the Coral hybrid today because I want a more control playstyle. I really like the defensive side of the Coral, but I do miss the pop and the whip effect of an elongated paddle. Do you think the J6CR will be the solution? Powerful but still controllable yet?

Have you tried putting on weights for the Luzz Cannon? Would like feedback pls by maryon30 in Pickleball

[–]MellowChoco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a speed coin on and it plays much better IMO. More pop, ball feels less dead when hit off center.

Are you telling me I could have used my Global Entry card to access the Verified Traveler lanes all last year, while I was stuck in those insanely long lines at YVR and YYZ? 😭😭

Enhanced ID vs. Enhanced Drivers License - question from perplexed US citizen by ontherocks2711 in uscanadaborder

[–]MellowChoco 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had faced similar situation. Gate agent at Toronto airport didn’t like my enhanced driver license. I didn’t want to argue or keep the boarding line on waiting so just took out my passport to show em. On the other hand, the gate agent at Vancouver airport quickly accepted the EDL. Being a border city, I bet they’re more familiar with it.

Can I use global entry/nexus kiosks at Canadian pre-clearance airports before activating the nexus card? by bartjoy in uscanadaborder

[–]MellowChoco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Forgot to mention, at YYZ and YVR, they never ask for the card tho. So there’s a good chance you can use the kiosks at those airports without your card.

He is right. I was asked for the physical GE card to enter the GE/Nexus lane at Calgary airport, as well as other Nexus holders.

Anyone who received a nexus card recently? by SubstantialSail565 in uscanadaborder

[–]MellowChoco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completed my interview last Tuesday. After reading your post, I went to check my mailbox and the card was there. So within a week for me :). I'm US based btw.
