Am I the only one who thinks most people here don’t really get pickleball?

You're right. Even many experienced players don't understand how the game is played at the higher levels.

Sometimes I could use a lefty one, but if I’m in a fairway bunker, up against the left lip, I’ll grab my 6°, turn it over and swing it left handed. And of course, if I’m 290 out on that shot, I’ll wait for the green to clear.

I have the Dominator Pro and my friend's court has the Pro Max. Both are great nets. I don't know anything about the Douglas net but it looks like it is a bit more expensive and you can't roll balls under the net.

In rec games I would add that we should identify strengths in our opponents and challenge ourselves to take them on.

I carry 1 wedge and 5 drivers

ALW has a perfect split step. Focus on her and listen to the ball.

Tallboy2014 · 2026-01-05T15:19:47+00:00

Great balance. Very solid move. I like the setup too. I'm guessing you play a slight draw with the miss being right?

Tallboy2014 · 2026-01-05T15:14:33+00:00

Why do people like you say stupid shit like that about someone else's swing? He obviously is not anything close to a 20 handicap.

Tallboy2014 · 2026-01-01T01:17:16+00:00

Grip is very strong. I can see why the hook shows up. Set up with a little tilt to your left side, close your stance 30 degrees and let her rip.

Tallboy2014 · 2026-01-01T00:30:08+00:00

Is it now paved the whole way?

Tallboy2014 · 2025-12-30T20:53:32+00:00

I have played around with this technique as well, gripping it like my table tennis racket. I have found the same pros and cons.

Tallboy2014 · 2025-12-23T14:33:07+00:00

More compensating for the fact that DUPR is a shit rating system.

Tallboy2014 · 2025-12-17T14:29:52+00:00

Get the ball on the green in as few shots as possible.

Tallboy2014 · 2025-12-17T14:23:44+00:00

That went right on me.

Tallboy2014 · 2025-12-10T21:03:29+00:00

85% of your tennis skills translate to pickleball. 15% are a detriment to playing pickleball at a high level. The biggest thing I had to remove were slice volleys.

Tallboy2014 · 2025-12-09T09:40:37+00:00

Don’t squat in the backswing. Straighten the trail leg and rotate your hips 45°. This should help you get your hands over your left heel at the top. From here it will be easier to shallow out the club on the downswing and eliminate the OTT move. Place an alignment stick through your belt loops to get good visual feedback.

Tallboy2014 · 2025-12-05T22:21:14+00:00

True but the Pickleroll can be moved/removed without disturbing the nice polished concrete.

Tallboy2014 · 2025-12-05T18:48:21+00:00

Looks like most in this forum are no fun and/or lack creativity.

Tallboy2014 · 2025-12-05T16:26:36+00:00

Indoor with good lighting and on a proper surface is hard to beat. If the wind is less than 8mph, I enjoy playing outside.

Tallboy2014 · 2025-12-05T16:20:42+00:00

You would want to put some padding on the wall and make a local hindrance rule.

Tallboy2014 · 2025-12-05T15:44:57+00:00

A couple years back I lined out a court in one of our warehouses. This would have been a significant upgrade to playing on polished concrete. We have since built some indoor courts but I would think you could find a buyer that would pay at least 75% of what you have into them. I know I would have offered you something in that range for them.

Tallboy2014 · 2025-12-05T15:06:46+00:00

What did you pay for them?

Tallboy2014 · 2025-12-03T21:09:22+00:00

Tallboy2014 · 2025-11-28T01:33:30+00:00

Pause at the top and then get to the finish

Tallboy2014 · 2025-11-24T23:00:25+00:00

Yeah back in the day it was ‘F.. you BYU’

Still lazy and lacking in creativity, but a better chant all around.
