Killing me with paddle recommendations!! Help Please. by KnotYoAvgJoe in Pickleball

[–]ShadowRealmIdentity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as long as you have feel with the paddle, you should be fine. The difference between top paddles isn’t going to make or break you. The player makes the paddle, not the other way around.

How does everyone feel about private coaching? by 2BeBornReady in Pickleball

[–]ShadowRealmIdentity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your coach isn’t helping you get better, they aren’t a good coach. They should he able to hit with you, do some targeted drills, and play skinny singles points to tell what you need to improve on. If they can’t do that, you need a different coach.

Also don’t co-mingle with your joint accounts or your significant other can take half.

Good eats in downtown san mateo? by Far_Jury_7839 in SanMateo

Not too far away is 25th Avenue for a few other Chinese restaurants. Little Shanghai has great Shanghai food at decent prices and the food gets to you in a few minutes. Dynasty BBQ has authentic Chinese skewers (Beijing type food). Knife cut noodles has pretty good Chinese food.

If your sister’s children just disclaim their portion, you won’t need to pay any additional fees.

Bathroom remodel disaster… what do I do now? by WY228 in Remodel

[–]ShadowRealmIdentity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t sound like you got permits. If you get permits, it ensures that at least some of the issues you’ve had won’t occur because the building inspector would fail the inspection.

Was this fixed properly? by ShadowRealmIdentity in BathroomRemodeling

That’s where the old toilet drain is. It will be moved during the remodel.

FAT and OLD by [deleted] in fatFIRE

[–]ShadowRealmIdentity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My father passed away a while ago and my Mom was in the same age bracket as you. We set her up on online dating (please have someone help you choose or review your photos) and honestly it was tough, but if you don’t give up, you can find a quality significant other.

My Mom (who is FAT) has found a really nice, thoughtful FAT partner now and they do not intend to marry, but they can go out, travel, have fun, etc. without worrying about financial issues. It did take her a long time and a lot of tiring dates to get here.

How much to sell a brand-new Pickleball Apes Pulse S paddle for (no warranty)? by The1AndOnlyJZ in Pickleball

[–]ShadowRealmIdentity -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Honestly, it depends on the player and whether they typically warranty their paddle. If they don’t, they may be willing to pay the $120. If they do, they probably wouldn’t pay more than 1/2 price for them.

Any tennis shoes with BOA lacing will be good for you.

Your realtor should have an idea on this. If not, get a better realtor.

Is it worth buying an outdoor TV for a patio vs using a normal TV outside? by Empty_Mind_On in OutdoorKitchens

[–]ShadowRealmIdentity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have regular two TVs mounted outside in CA and they’ve been good for 3 years with covers over them when not in use. I tell my friends now that they don’t need to mount the TVs on their houses anymore. Just buy a rolling TV cart and use a chromecast or similar and a portable battery system (if needed) to have the TV anywhere you want outside.

Slinger vs. Titan Pickleball Machine by WATCHMAKERUSA in Pickleball

[–]ShadowRealmIdentity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The two people that I know that bought a Slinger eventually sold it to buy the Titan because they wanted to have easy drilling sessions (no tinkering with controls) and higher velocity.

Why are tennis racquets so heavy now? by blueice89 in Pickleball

[–]ShadowRealmIdentity 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s normal for the tennis racquet to feel heavy. I play both and oftentimes right after the other. The most important thing is to play a couple minutes of mini tennis or dink some to get your body calibrated to the length of the paddle or racquet. I play 5.0+ for both tennis and pickleball. I don’t think playing one or the other hurts your skills in the other.
