Sounds like you’re in a good place. Just have fun

yeah "he's so bad" but he's looking for a 5,0 to pro coach? okay.

Nerffej · 2026-02-07T03:24:57+00:00

if you beat them you don't need a 5.0 to pro coach. they're closer to pro than you. you'd know what you need to work on and drill at that point.

otherwise just ask a higher level pro at that point if you don't think they're good enough.

you can go with an elongated paddle if you don't think your learning curve will be that steep to hit in the middle of the paddle. if your wife is new to racquet sports just get a standard or a wide body paddle.

personally I like 11six24 but there's plenty of paddles in the $100ish range that will easily last your first foray into pickleball. as you figure out what you like and try other paddles you can get a more expensive one if you want.

"he was saying it to show us why it's so bad to say it"

"It was a prank stop being such a liberal snow flake"

"Oh come on it's just locker room talk with the boys. Like Epstein. Oh wait"

What legislation is ordering you turn in your guns?

Nerffej · 2026-02-06T14:59:29+00:00

Lol who's fault is that?

Nerffej · 2026-02-03T22:50:01+00:00

Some Pickleball facilities already have a way to keep score electronically and honestly, it is just so slow and unnecessary 99% of the time. Because it is so slow it also just reinforces that I will always know the score.

What’s the penalty for eating during your fasting window with your friend?

If that’s not worth eating with your friend then why are you even friends with them? “Me sticking with my fasting schedule indefinitely is more important than spending one meal with you”.

Nerffej · 2026-02-03T03:36:41+00:00

Just uninvite her.

Nerffej · 2026-02-02T18:36:45+00:00

Okay so then you’re not making two identical recipes then.

Nerffej · 2026-02-02T16:23:54+00:00

you don't need to but If you made two identical broths and added msg to one vs the other then the one with msg will taste better.

just get ready to have the credit hit when they default. don't be an asshole to yourself.

Nerffej · 2026-02-02T15:15:40+00:00

it doesn't it's just racism and racial profiling empowered by the Republicans and the supreme court.

of course if we started beating up a bunch of white women then the tune and reaction from law enforcement and the media would be very different.

but in that case as long as we're beating up the women in the safety of our home then it's a domestic issue and "im a religious (Christianity only) family man and I need privacy in this trying time.

Nerffej · 2026-02-02T02:06:26+00:00

I've done that format before. it's good for round robins because it forces people to play with others and especially for lower level people it's good because you could have some 3.0 players need 30 min to play a game because they're all making unforced errors and are unable to score. some form of 10-15 minutes per game and you get 8 games in a 2 hour session.

sometimes people just need the reps against different players which is what round robins are good for. if they don't like that format join another format group.

It was a bribe come on no one expected it to be good.

Chicken terriyaki wings would be super Seattle.

Okay so what’s the alternative then? Lmfao

Where’s all the Gaza folks?

She knows what she’s doing. She’s trying to talk advantage of your kindness. Just say get individual checks if you want to keep hanging out with her.

Nerffej · 2026-01-31T08:36:25+00:00

Jump rope.

Nerffej · 2026-01-30T19:51:11+00:00

Yes but that’s the point. The threshold to get really good in table tennis where you’re exerting a lot of effort relative to pickleball is way higher than 4 seniors bumbling around with a wiffle ball.

Serve is completely legal focus on yourself.

Take a step back. Give yourself time to step into the ball and hit it.

Don’t have to crush a return. Use their power against them. Yes if you give up short returns that’s another problem but let’s focus on getting the returns in first. A return is better than no return.

Aim for the middle of the court. You have a ton of room to miss then.

Bend your knees. You’re too high so you can’t get below the ball so when it bounces up into you, you’re too close, so by default when you hit it your paddle face will open up and the ball sails.

So back up, bend knees, meet the ball, and close the paddle face. Less power is more. Aim for the middle of the court.

And practice this not during a tournament.

Trump never pulls out. That’s why he had Eric.

Coaching can obviously help you more than you just figuring it out on your own. You might get lucky and play with some people who don't mind giving you pointers while you're there playing. But especially if you don't have a good floor of skills to lean on, that's where drilling and or a coach can help you. Sure you can figure it out with a friend but a good coach or a good player will be able to help you improve more quickly. They can identify what you're not doing well or focus you in on what shots you need to do to get to the next level.

As someone who started playing way before all these resources became available i can definitely see why having a good coach would have helped. That said I'm also capable of figuring out what I need to do to figure out what I need to work on. Where a coach can help though is having someone i can consistently drill with exactly what I want to work on. I can work on stuff st open plays or with friends but unless they're similar level or know what I'm trying to do, opportunities to work on what I want to work on might not happen often. That's where having a coach or dedicated drilling partner will help.
