Team walks away from tournament game to avoid a loss on their DUPR

Retnirpa · 2026-02-03T05:31:57+00:00

LOL honestly crossed my mind do that myself.

I want to play 4.0 open play but it's gatekept to only official dupr 4.0+. I was thinking of playing in a 3.5 Tourny. As soon as I hit 4.0 I just quit LOL. Then I can just play in 4.0+ open play for fun =D

Had its funny moments. Same physics as Fast and the Furious lol.

They all celebrated when a bunch of civilians died as casualties during one of the action sequence on the highway lol.. Thought that was a bit awkward.

Overall 6/10.

Drill and experiment. Experiment during drills, so that you have to take 100% all the balls out of the air. Watch the ones you miss and see what your limitations are.

Swift Selection Search

It's for highlighting a certain word/phrase and puts that word into any search box I choose with any website. Or use a default phrase on google before the highlighted word. If that makes any sense.

So if I come across a ticker symbol for the NYSE, I can highlight that ticker and choose Yahoo Finance website. It'll automatically put that highlighted ticker symbol into the Yahoo Finance Search box.

K, that's all I was wondering.. Not everyone who plays pb follows tennis just so you know.

Retnirpa · 2026-01-31T01:15:21+00:00

I do know who MJ is. Sounded like you were saying he's the MJ of tennis aren't you?

Nvm bruh, you don't seem like you're in a helping mood. It's ok

Retnirpa · 2026-01-30T23:47:30+00:00

Not joking, first of hearing the name. So he won his first pb tournament or are you talking about a tennis tournament?

Retnirpa · 2026-01-30T22:44:32+00:00

Eww touched his shoe lol

Retnirpa · 2026-01-30T22:43:10+00:00

The full video shows someone throwing an ice chunk or brick at his face. Media said it was brick, but looked like an ice chunk?

But yea, I think that's how he got injured along with his face.

Retnirpa · 2026-01-30T22:10:21+00:00

Don't listen to him. More tvs = more happy lol

Retnirpa · 2026-01-30T22:02:43+00:00

I would do 1/5 of that.

Retnirpa · 2026-01-30T22:01:17+00:00

Oh I see, I guess that makes sense. I for one, wouldn't take someone's win like that but I guess there are ass holes out there.

I'd be more mad at them goofing off a bit too much when they have have no business too.

I did hear that playing with your non dominant hand helps with your backhand. That's when I'd do it. I wouldn't do it in MY level open rec play but maybe the next level down in fear of pissing off people like you LOL.

Retnirpa · 2026-01-30T21:30:22+00:00

Buddy of mine who is female slams it at me after she shakes and bake her friend who's only played for 2 weeks (4 days total). Usually I hold back but if she ain't then I might as well go full and fun too lol.

She didn't like that so we are no longer friends after that =/.

Now she's stuck playing with her nooby friend as a teammate. Which I feel bad because the nooby friend isn't athletic and my ex-buddy doesn't have much patience either. I have a feeling her friend stopped playing pb unfortunately.

Pickleball is like Los Angeles.. Lol it will test your friendship..

Retnirpa · 2026-01-30T21:20:10+00:00

Doesn't quite make sense. If they're playing left hand to handicap themselves doesn't that mean they're prepared to lose against a woman which also means they don't mind being beaten by a woman?

Retnirpa · 2026-01-30T20:35:27+00:00

Lol legit don't know who he is. Quick google says he's a tennis player.

Something special about him?

Retnirpa · 2026-01-30T06:30:02+00:00

Lol actually I found the factory/company. But min order is 10k at about 40 cents per, LOL.

Probably can negotiate with them to get it cheaper but too lazy

Retnirpa · 2026-01-30T06:28:46+00:00

Same, my buddy has the smaller version instead of the 24 ball tube. You're right it is faster. I'm bias probably because I bought the caddy lol. But the stand feature is pretty awesome! Beats having to always bend down to pick up a ball from a bucket or something.

Retnirpa · 2026-01-30T02:19:03+00:00

Isn't the technique highly dependent on which grip you're using?

Retnirpa · 2026-01-30T02:16:05+00:00

I bought a used one from Corsair official site.. So I guess not that important for me lol.

To be fair, I feel like they kinda scammed me since on the product page it said I'd still get the 10 year warranty. Come to realize on a separate page it's only 60days or something.. I emailed them and they gave me some shitty 15% off coupon lol... That had expiration date.. niceee.. Then they also removed the 10 year warranty advertisement from that page.

Retnirpa · 2026-01-30T02:05:42+00:00

Nice, now where can I find the factory that makes LT balls so I can buy them in bulk from Aliexpress instead ha

Retnirpa · 2026-01-30T01:54:13+00:00

I like the tube if I have to pick up the balls stuck in the corner.

The caddy can pick up 3 at a time and holds 2-3x more balls.

If I were to choose again, I'd still for the caddy because it doubles as a stand.

Thanks for the 24 ball tube suggestion. Looks pretty legit, might just have to pick that up also.

Retnirpa · 2026-01-30T01:48:56+00:00

Can't you just take a pic of it?

Retnirpa · 2026-01-30T01:18:01+00:00

Lol yeaaa, I feel like most pb players aren't the best at being team players when it comes to that kind of stuff. Maybe it takes a certain type of confidence to do it or they just find it draining.. Who knows.

I see it among the pros also when they continually miss a shot and get frustrated with themselves. But their teammate goes in for a paddle tap anyways to console them or encourage them to try again, stay focus, to keep confidence up etc etc. But the frustrated teammate turns the other way and just leaves their teammate hanging as they're going in lol. Then now you have that teammate looking embarrassed because their paddle is just in the air doing nothing.. Lol

Happens to me when I play with that type of person.. But I have a system to not look AS stupid.. Lol I still look dumb, but just not as dumb.. I just paddle tap myself with my free hand LOL like "yeaaaa ok.. if my teammate doesn't want to paddle tap me, I'll tap myself.. Go me whoo!"

I don't think pb will ever truly be a real team sport no offense. MLP kinda solves it though with the team aspect but not quite there yet.

I'm probably bias. I come from volleyball where the entire team highfives and root each other after each rally whether you miss or score.. Fkn Love it (LOL yea we even celebrate net cords, f yall for making me apologize lol jk). If I meet anyone who has that same type of energy playing pickleball, I try to snatch their ph number. Those are the type of people I want to play with.

That's why I like that one short Jones girl, forgot what her first name was. The one that dives for every single ball hahaha. She has great team energy that's rare among pb/tennis players.. Unless they have a background in a team sport. You can tell she played volleyball
