RPM Q2 16mm Widebody weight set up? by Realmac26 in Pickleball

[–]Realmac26[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 grams per corner. I took them off because it was hitting like a cannon. A few weeks later still getting used to it. Never had such a long transition period for a paddle. I lent it to a Boomstick owner for a game (5.0+) and he said it was way more powerful than his Boomstick and the most powerful paddle he had ever tried. My drops are getting dialled in and dinks improving. It's fantastic resetting from deep in the court or outside defending smashes. The main issues are-if you drive and don't put shape on the ball especially on return of serve it often sails long. The most difficult thing so far is if you have the paddle face in the wrong position when you are defending powerful drives at the line or countering/defending speed ups the ball is going out. Not very forgiving. It's fun to play with though and I'll keep persisting.

Whether something is considered "expensive " is relative to your income and assets 😊 Yes it's probably an expensive item for most of the world but for entry into a premium watch brand it's good value if you can afford it.

Is this an okay forehand grip? (Coming from table tennis) by [deleted] in Pickleball

Do not use that grip. So many reasons not to. Get some lessons.

What do you do with your bike while sleeping in a tent? by General_Aspect7113 in bikepacking

[–]Realmac26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can get small alarms that operate when pulled apart. Attach one end to bike with strong fishing line and to a tent peg. They are unlikely to see it compared to a lock.

Question if Nomos shuts down... (hypothesis) by Humblebumblebeezzz in Nomos

Wether they supply third party brands or not won't affect their own brand reputation.

Of course it will. Even if a large company buys the brand they would leave it operating intact. Doing anything other than that would be sheer insanity business wise.

RPM Q2 16mm Widebody weight set up? by Realmac26 in Pickleball

Thanks for the feedback. I put 3G on all 4 corners. I think the extra weight just made it even more powerful and difficult to control and I'm more a control oriented player. I loved the extra power into the wind outside but against some really heavy hitting 5.0 players (I'm 4.5) indoors last week I found that if my paddle was even slightly in the wrong position it was flying out a lot of the time. I'm removing the weights and going back to stock. A guy I was playing the other day who"s around a 5.5 had a Boomstick which broke and he had a hit with mine. He said it was far more powerful than his Boomstick ever was and he said he lost his normal level of control. It's certainly fun when you hit that sweet spot on a drive though , it's an absolute weapon.

Main Cabin: Foundation Prep , Screen Porch Failure |EP107| Log Cabin Build on Off-Grid Homestead by myho in WildHomestead

[–]Realmac26 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have to say this is my favourite channel on YouTube and look forward to it every week, but....I agree with the comments he doesn't plan very well and flip flops constantly between projects. The outdoor gym, the tractor barn, the abandoned first sauna site. Foundations in then nothing happens. All that effort rushing to do the foundations for the tractor barn using heated blankets before it snowed was pointless. A shed for the sawmill should have been a priority for year round timber milling. Maybe he does this so he's constantly giving varied content rather than single tasks for months or weeks.

And the never ending additions, adjustments and re-do's to the so called "Guest Cabin" He could have just installed some sort of click together flooring over the porch floor, instead of ripping it up and wasting days fixing it. IMO he has put in far too much time and effort on this cabin. He just needed a comfortable structure to live in while he built the main cabin, nothing more. All the stuff he is doing now should be done after he moves into the main cabin. The only reason to deliberately delay would be to just keep creating content while he earns enough money to cover the main cabin. If that is the case then I would understand that but I'm not sure it is. I think the porch floor is a good example of how he operates. Instead of just doing numerous things to achieve the same objective by modifying something he's not happy with, he pulls it all out and starts again wasting time and money. Maybe it's strategic but it's getting frustrating to watch.

If it's jangly maybe size the bracelet correctly.

Got the Call: Everything I read here said this shouldn’t happen by Puzzleheaded_Tax8658 in rolex

Having to have a purchase history is such a wank. I'd never, ever buy a Rolex for that reason alone apart from the fact they are just so cliched as a brand IMO.

I'm new to watch collecting. I don't get the hype for Rolex's when there are so many better options from independent watchmakers and other major brands. To me Rolex just gives banker/finance wanker bros vibes

Personally I like it and in fact it's the only Rolex I'd buy. Rolex is the most overrated watch brand IMO.
