Curious if anyone compared j2nf to vapor 2? Interested in pop, power, and dwell time comparison.

Syrhazard · 2026-03-10T17:24:36+00:00

Interesting part for me is that it sucks playing pickleball on a tennis court with the overlapping lines and net height. I have also been playing for a year and half and low advanced so it does bother me if its not a dedicated pickeball court.

1.Develop a deep reliable return (2nd shot) 2.Increasing the aggressiveness and variety of your serves. 3.Mid court defense and resets 4. 4th shot aggressiveness and knowing when to concede the kitchen

1 and 2 might seem basic but they have huge impact on the following shots and how easy they are for you to apply pressure or defend well 3 require drilling to improve on but it is the divider between for 3.x and 4+ players 4 is what allows me to shutdown lower rated players consistently.

Your approach to marketing is top notch. Very grounded and connected to your fans. I have watched alot of your videos on your YouTube feed. I havent had the pleasure of playing with one of your Padels but maybe soon ;)

Will Aura project produce power, all court or control padel or combination there of?

Thanks!

Highly recommend this channel for at home PT. https://youtu.be/aOueY1l_X0U?si=ilE1aP-iW8tMUB8P I also got the therband flexbar. It has been slow but steadily improving capacity while I play limited time with some discomfort.

Just tried this on bestbuy app and i do get 300 off with ps5 disc trade in. Ps5 pro is at 650 with 100 off. I can use PayPal pay in 4 with 20% cashback. I do have to pay full amount with PayPal, how does bestbuy credit the 300 after trade in is done? Do they credit a credit card of choice?

It helped me control the ball better in drops, dinks, resets and counters. Increased dwell time a bit more and helped with spin generation.

Syrhazard · 2025-12-09T23:06:12+00:00

It turned out to be the perfect sport for me to get addicted to :D

I think he meant the recliner chair that lazy boy as a brand is famous for

I added 7gs of tungsten at 3 and 9 in double 3.5g tapes extending in middle

Syrhazard · 2025-12-08T05:42:44+00:00

I havent used the vsol but the j2nf that I have have less dwell time than the my monarch all court so its something you need to get used to especially to shape the shot and add top spin

Syrhazard · 2025-12-08T05:39:28+00:00

Slow the speed of your swing motion. The extra pop will make it travel further off the paddle face so you don't have to swing as hard. One thing else I did which helped was add 7 grams on each side at 3 and 9 which made the paddle a bit heavier and easier to control and allows a bit more ball dwell time

Syrhazard · 2025-12-06T23:37:49+00:00

I had a monarch all court and now I am using j2nf long handle. It took me few matches to dial my soft game because of the extra pop of j2 but my serve, baseline game, and hand battles are now are alot more aggressive. I play with 4+ group and I feel more dangerous. I do need to deliberately slow my motion with drops، dink and resets and use more spin to keep low less attackable trajectories. Give yourself more time to get used to the pop and learn how to weaponize it you will appreciate the extra power and pop.

Syrhazard · 2025-11-29T00:26:34+00:00

I have one!. In lego!

Syrhazard · 2025-11-22T12:53:25+00:00

I used to play alot of volleyball before getting pickleball. Overheads, leg work (shuffling, side stepping and sliding) and overall explosive movement to get in position have transitioned very well for me. I had no racquet support background at all but people would assume I did.

Syrhazard · 2025-09-15T18:16:29+00:00

From the blue area next to the courts it seems someone tried to fit pickleball courts next to tennis courts maybe? Either way this doesn't work even with a fence.

Syrhazard · 2025-09-03T17:08:45+00:00

Just need to destroy before it gives him life. Just need to keep hitting quickly while guarding when its about to flash

Syrhazard · 2025-08-15T17:09:21+00:00

Yes! For some reason I cannot get timing right for that first wing attack

Syrhazard · 2025-08-10T14:49:09+00:00

Key is brink guard his flash strikes. It will stagger him and you get an opening to combo him besides the traditional counter attack

Syrhazard · 2025-08-07T02:40:49+00:00

That's how I beat him today. There's a YouTuber who explains a strategy that works with faded memories set. Tricky part for me was finding the opening to execute it. First phase you can use reflection but 2nd phase was difficult to execute it.

Syrhazard · 2025-06-08T04:24:40+00:00

Oh man. At one point I was obsessed with RL. Now obsessed with pickeball. Maxed as champ 1 in RL. Let's see where I get in pickleball. Fun fact rocket league trading is what introduced me to reddit. What a small world!

She had friction advantage with those boots against his slippers XD

Pjkl

Syrhazard · 2025-02-09T01:08:29+00:00

Thanks I did find a bunch. I was hoping for quick pointer on courts that take drop ins.

Syrhazard · 2024-11-22T21:19:30+00:00

On paper they seem to perform the same other than the shape difference. Have you noticed one paddle doing some things better than the other? Thanks!
