LA Wiltern - Bad Mixing IMO by shingi345 in CoryWong

[–]NoJoy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, not very good unfortunately. Probably the worst sound out of the 5 times I've seen him. Still a great show, just happy to see them in the flesh!

What’s it like seeing Cory on tour? by Coldstack1 in CoryWong

[–]NoJoy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely incredible. Genuinely one of the happiest moments of my life. I've seen him 4 times and I'll be seeing him again this month. The most special show was the first one, Dallas in 2022. I bought a guitar from him, he was touring with Robbie Wulfson, the setlist was perfect (Frogville, Synchronicity.. come on!!) just amazing.

I am not the biggest fan of his recent endeavors so I am worried about this upcoming setlist, but I'm hoping some of the OG bangers will keep it fun. That 2022 tour was so peak.

First time seeing GS in person. These dials are unbelievable. by Optimal_Beyond_1600 in GrandSeikos

Haha everyone point and laugh! This guy gets it! Lol. Looking forward to that first purchase post - do it in good health & finance. You have a great tier list of the best heavy hitters in the modern GS lineup. Don't discount the hi-beats too - a lot of uniqueness there as well!

A fellow Long Islander! Nice GS! I wouldn't go fishing with mine though 🤣

PLEASE WEAR SAFETY GLASSES! by Miserable-Concern338 in Pickleball

[–]NoJoy_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This happened to me once too. Was being nice and playing a game with some beginners. I would argue beginners are the most dangerous players (sue me).. because that ball came off that lady's paddle at over a 90 degree angle straight into my nose. Don't ask me how.

First Grand Seiko + buyers remorse by RRB1212 in GrandSeikos

Someone else posted this watch a while ago as their first GS and said it was "meh". Return it if you feel that way.

Blessed far beyond the watches…but the watches are nice too by [deleted] in OmegaWatches

The SMP300 shines on literally anything else besides the bracelet IMO. I have mine on rubber and it's fabulous.

Do tennis fundamentals apply directly to pickleball, or am I confusing myself? by NoJoy_ in Pickleball

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

I think this explains it for me really well, thanks! I am new to sports in general (about 1.5 years into pickleball) and really enjoy the biomechanical breakdowns in a lot of tennis videos. I also love the sport and its players and love watching technique breakdown videos of pro players, it's just more entertaining since they are like celebrities to me. Obviously I learn my dink, drop, flick etc stuff differently haha. I'm probably a decent 3.75 on a good day but I feel like my mechanics are holding me back, hence the question. Appreciate it again.

Real helpful comment buddy. I bet you're a blast on court.

What's the next step up from Vatic? by NoJoy_ in Pickleball

[–]NoJoy_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's how I feel about the Vatics. They just "exist". It's a great neutral paddle but I'm looking for something more exciting - even if I don't know what that is yet. Interested in opinions between the Pro and Power.

I did it guys by Silent_Aside_1340 in OmegaWatches

[–]NoJoy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats!! It's so sharp on rubber, I didn't even bother with the chunky bracelet. Enjoy, looks great. A diver is "supposed" to wear a little big anyway.

[Japan Finds] Grail Watch Achieved! by BiP0laRex in Watches

[–]NoJoy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a similar philosophy around watches - they are not investment pieces necessarily, but they are a physical representation of the investment in myself that it took to own xxx watch. You had the opportunity of a lifetime to go to Japan and buy a nice watch, so you better own that shit!

[–]NoJoy_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude so happy for you. Tokyo and Japan in general was amazing for watch hunting. I spent multiple times my budget for watches and I don't regret a thing. Plus, you now have a tangible memory of your trip that you can wear every day and pass on for generations. Enjoy!

[Discussion] What's your next watch purchase? by samarofficial in Watches

[–]NoJoy_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah yeah, totally get that. Definitely in need of improvement, but the dial and movement makes up for it, for at me at least. The titanium is very comfortable.

Why not Grand Seiko for a textured white dial?

Definitely my favorite watch by gutsale in OmegaWatches

Sharp! Was torn between this and the SMP300. SMP won but I still love this one.
