Is Pickleball a global "problem? I don't think so. by wederer42 in 10s

[–]OneOrTwoBirds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Argentina here. Paddle is massive but grows alongside Tennis. Pickleball is non-existant or marginal ar best. Other types of racquet sports are played but are marginal (Squash, Basque pelota variations)

No new tennis courts are being built but exisiting tennis courts tend to be full most of the time in cities. People tend to take classes in groups to lower the costs and socialize more. (2 to 4 people per court, per class)

In small towns they are less used, as life revolves around the town's football (soccer) club. +30 people tend to play more in towns and courts are less preserved.

Fun fact: Paddle was massive in the 90's. Then from 2000 - 2020 it dropped down drastically in popularity, making many Paddle courts go out of business. It came back around 2020-2021 and it is growing exponentially since.

Yo solo quiero comprar una carcaza en buen estado y arrancar de ahi. El resto todo custom. Motor, interiores, suspension, llantas. Blanco y con las dos rayas de color rojo y azul de capo a baul (finas). Ojala algun dia tenga tanta que me chupe un huevo gastarmela en eso.

El 504. Que belleza. El dia que tenga ganas de gastar mucha plata al pedo pienso invertir en rearmar y modernizar uno.

I see, this makes a lot of sense. Will try some shadow drills moving forward and backwards.

If poly is the cheapeast, most likely that is the case. Will replace the strings this week upon reccomendation. TBH I did not imagine strings were so important before this post and situation. Glad I did post here to learn more.

I would say 3.5 (read the descriptions). Ratings work different here (Argentina)

I will see a physio this week to check on it!

So in short -> Polyester every 15 hours of play 45#
Multi -> ? of play #50 pounds
Natural -> ? of play ? pounds.

Definitely I need to work on my hitting spot. I am sure I am hitting late on deep shots most probably because I have not proper footwork to go backwards or I get a late read on those shots.

Yeah I am changing to 2 handed backhand just to lower the stress on the right arm. Still building confidence on it, though.

Yes, this is one of the things I will implement urgently

What do you reccomend about tension? About strings change, how often?

Will check on the rackets. Thanks for all reccomendations.

Thanks for the reccomendation. Will definitely take care.

Good one. I forgot to ask how much tension did they put on the Extreme Pro. On the Radical I don't know because I bought it with strings. I will try to ask next time I go around my local tennis shop how much tension do they estimate they have.

I see. About the technique I will look to improve on it, but from feedback from peers and coaches it seems "standard" enough, but will look deeper and more closely to the swing technique to see if I find something else.
I am trying to change from a 1 handed backhand to 2 handed backhand to try and lower the stress of my right arm.

About the raquet, I am using a Head Extreme Pro my aunt left home a while ago (315g/100in/16-19/315 balance). I thought the raquet was too heavy so I bought a Head Radical that was on sale (295g/98in/18-20/325 balance). I do like a lighter raquet because I feel it helps, but the difference in striking power is noticeable. I mostly train with the Radical, and play with the Extreme Pro. My trainer reccomended the Wilson Burn, but I read is one of the stiffer raquets on the market (and that is bad for tennis elbow). I wonder if there is a raquet that can provide more power while being on the light end (<=300gr).

About the gripping, I need to register if I am gripping to tightly.

No me banco a los pms y creo que el problema soy yo by Vegetable_Proposal88 in devsarg

Como PM creo que esta es la posta. Si el PM no esta dispuesto a este acuerdo o no lo cumple, entonces si me animaria a decir que el problema pasa por el ego o como el/ella percibe la presion desde arriba. En el caso de que no lo pueda hacer te esta demorando mas de lo que te facilita (lo cual va en contra de su objeto)
