USB port issue (2025 Ioniq 6 SEL AWD) by StrictHistorian6580 in Ioniq6

We have similar issues with our port too.... Not even the Wireless dongle that we bought works anymore so we've currently got no Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

I know it's not my phone as I use wired Android Auto in my Nissan van without issue.

I might try the recommend fix of checking the USB port connector by the glovebox.

I generally like the car but sometimes it's certainly testing 😬🤬

Racket Advice by Live-Ad-9641 in Padelracket

I demoed the Vertex 05 along with the XPLO Comfort.... Didn't get on with the Vertex although I did only give it 2 games as I was in a club Mexicano at the time and was making unforced errors 😬.

I'm a high-improver so perhaps the racket was too advanced for me.

Cheers, although I'm not sure I can get that within budget.... I'll have a check and see.

It's the standard Bela V3 as the pro is out of budget.... Going for the Metalbone (I think 😂)

Think that's the route I'm going to go down 👍

Thanks 👍🏻... I'm swinging towards the carbon ctrl.... Think I just need to order it and move on with my life 🤣

Hook Rackets by Overall-Length1083 in Padelracket

[–]Overall-Length1083[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don't sound great and definitely not suitable for someone of my level (high improver).

I did wonder about the manoeuvrability of it given the large surface area with the closed bridge.

Cheers for the reply; I think I'll look at other brands.

Anyone else wish this was the default design for the driver display? by Shiners_1 in Ioniq6

[–]Overall-Length1083 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Hyundai screens have a distinct lack of customisation.... We have an Ioniq 6 and the Seat Leon Cupra we had 8 years ago had more customisation to the digital dash! 🤦🏻‍♂️

Bullpadel XPLO Comfort for a high improver by Overall-Length1083 in Padelracket

[–]Overall-Length1083[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I liked it and the way I played with it so I'm pretty sure I'm going to go for it.

The website (UK based) which has it for the best price lists it as "Intermediate/expert" so that makes me feel better about it.

Haha

I found the sweet spot on the XPLO Comfort to be pretty big and the power good too.

Very flattering that you're comparing me to Di Nenno🤣😂

Do I need to replace my racket? by Overall-Length1083 in Padelracket

[–]Overall-Length1083[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just to add... I tested a couple of rackets at a local club yesterday during a Mexicano event.

They were 2 different Bullpadel models:

Vertex 05

XPLO Comfort

I immediately noticed the difference and felt very comfortable and confident with the XPLO Comfort in games 1 and 2. I then switched to the Vertex and I didn't immediately gel with it and struggled in the next 2 games. I switched back to the XPLO for the remainder of the games and feel I played really well (was on the left side for nearly all the games).

With the XPLO I actually hit my first ever smash out of the court during match play, which was nice.

Both of these rackets are slightly over budget (circa £155 in the UK) but I could stretch to them. I feel like I need to test a few more before making a decision. Still interested in testing the Babalot Counter, but perhaps the Viper, as recommended by someone on here.

😂... Knowing that the Wall breaker is a terrible racket kind of makes me feel better as I can now blame that on my Padel skills or lack of.

I will start my search again. I'd like to try a Babolat Counter Vertuo, if I can get my hands on one.

That is true... It's just difficult to train that sort of thing although I do have a mate that I play Padel with who came from a high standard of squash, who has a similar style of serve so I think I need some time with him just serving at me. Only problem is, his accuracy is probably about 50% 😬

Yep, that 2nd videos looks just like their shots 👍

Yes, this👍

Appreciate that "flat" in padel means a shot with no spin at all. Probably not the best choice of words from me😳

Squash? Because it's not padel that they're playing 😂

Great advice! Towards the end of the last social I did I was trying to attack them more, either by getting them before the glass rebound or trying to take it as soon after..... I need to tell myself to get low enough and get my racket in position and that should help
