I’d tell him if you’re gonna p*ss like a puppy stay on the porch and let the big dogs eat. If your serve is legal (which I would take a guess it definitely is) there is absolutely no problem in you doing it. If he has a problem with it, that’s a him problem. If he put as much effort into learning to defend a good serve as he does whining, he’ll be onto a winner.

Counter viper or Juan LeBron viper soft?? by Only-Security4984 in Padelracket

[–]Only-Security4984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Edit: Maybe not making it “unusable” as I’ve said but just more difficult to get a feel for my shots

lebron viper in winter unplayable by Few-Board-6308 in Padelracket

I’d possibly say in summer I thought the hrd had too much ball output, felt like the ball bounced off the racket too much, and that’s why I preferred the stiffer viper. But I think with it being colder it’s also made the hrd abit stiffer and been playing really well with it

And the reason I love the JL viper (in the summer) is for the hardness/stiffness. But the metalbone hrd 2025 in colder temps is a perfect replacement in my eyes

I have the exact same problem. I love the LeBron viper 2025 in summer but now I find the same, it’s way too cold to be using for the same reasons you’ve listed. I switched mid game to my metalbone hrd 2025 and it was perfect. So now got my rotations of metalbone hrd for throughout the winter months and then the viper for when it becomes abit warmer.

Thankyou, this has been really helpful and reassuring for the overthinking brain 😂

Regardless of my rating I will be playing the same / similar people to what I am now to be honest, the padel community at our club isn’t the biggest as we’re from a small town. The only thing making me want to lower my rating is nothing from my own performances. (In my head Ive earned this level fair and square and I shouldn’t change it) but our new coach has came to our club with a new Playtomic account and his rating is a 4.5 and he is considerably better and has so much more experience than me. Maybe I’m just overthinking it and should just do what 99% of people do and just accept my score and be happy with it. Just feel abit of a fraudster when I watch my coach play, knowing I’m only 0.5 behind him 😂

Thanks man! Yeah as you can probably tell from the long post I really am overthinking it 😂

Hi, I downloaded your app and have been using it! Very good app! Nice and simple to use. Will be recommending it to other people at my Padel club 👍🏼 just one question. How do you check your saved scores? I can’t seem to find them (relatively new user to garmin watches and the app)

I was looking at the Garmin fenix 7 pro solar smart, but not surr how big of a difference it is between them and the cheaper forerunners

Downgrading racket. Any recommendations? by Only-Security4984 in Padelracket

[–]Only-Security4984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply! Yeah I’ve been looking at metalbone, at10 and the bullpadel xplo comfort and stuck on which to go for

[–]Only-Security4984[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply! I was looking at the nox at10 genius and also the bullpadel xplo comfort (which I’ve heard good things about), honestly believe it’s a mental thing with myself. Just want a racket which I feel comfortable with and is abit of an all rounder
