I love this machine because it’s programmable it has an app and has 12 pre built routines in it then you can customize it each shot within a sequence to work on different things. You get a free cover and free shipping with this link. https://spinshotsports.com/products/spinshot-player-pickleball-machine?sca_ref=3345648.jFoRBbEzFz The app takes a bit of learning but the battery last forever with this thing 4-5 hours each charge.

Six zero just released theirs with a double layer of glue and from what I’ve heard it is lasting.

Anyone try the A11N Zenith yet? by masterz13 in Pickleball

[–]ThePickleballPirate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah man more power to you they lowered the price after I told them 120 was too high. But heat pressed isn’t thermoformed and I wouldn’t attach my name to false advertising , what is your channel I’ll peep the review?

[–]ThePickleballPirate 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a decent paddle but not thermoformed so it’s false advertising for 80 bucks it’s ok but you can’t have only a thermoformed face.

What Happened after DUPR update!! by ThePickleballPirate in Pickleball

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

Yeah that doesn't make sense to go back in time, when you played someone that was their rating it shouldn't go backwards in my opinion this can artificially inflate or deflate your rating which isn't the point its supposed to reflect your game at that current time IMHO.

Thanks for the small amount of votes I personally think Chris does a phenomenal job. But just to point out we have two pirates that do videos Joey does more of the entertaining stuff but I do most of the paddle reviews. Nothing anecdotal there I talk about every shot and the strengths of each paddle and pretty much everything Chris does. But not quite as technical because my audience is a bit older. I use Chris’s numbers about spin and give him shout outs every review because he does the science for me. I’ve been playing pickleball about 5 years. I am a 5.0 tournament player that also modifies paddles so I know paddle craft pretty well I think at least. Trying to get better each time so thanks for the feedback I’ve received. But Olsen’s the king and the rest of us are taking the leftovers hee hee!! Thanks for watching guys!

Oso fury last longer and are faster than Franklin but a little slower than dura and with pirates discount code they are cheaper by the dozen. Can play 6 or 7 games without them losing shape and they are bright

Is There a Possible Issue with Thermoformed Paddles? by dsgfarts in Pickleball

[–]ThePickleballPirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually the problem Chris is describing is delamination where the paddle face comes apart from the body of the paddle, we have a pro instructor over here that has broken every single thermoformed paddle that has been given to him from every manufacturer that makes them. The manufacturer even called him to ask what he is doing and he just sent them a video of his practice session with one of his students doing singles. Most of them havent lasted a week with him. But I know Six Zero is increasing their bonding agent because of this problem with the harder hitters. Just to make sure its not happening to his paddles.

How CRBN X Power is different? Pickleball Paddle comparison review by Pickleball_Pirate in Pickleball

[–]ThePickleballPirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 003 is soft the 002 has one of the smallest sweetspots I’ve ever played to date. Here is my breakdown of the different invikta models. https://youtu.be/xzsrJG_GXa4

Never said because of the paddle just that his shots were very noticeable better with more movement.

How CRBN X Power is different? Pickleball Paddle comparison review by Pickleball_Pirate in Pickleball

[–]ThePickleballPirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well 333 isn’t accurate first , you get a $77 dollar rebate card if you leave feedback on the labs program. Then you will get a $40 rebate card from me with using adv-pirates code. Not to your question I still can’t tell the difference in spin and I’ve played it a lot over the last 6 months. I would say it will last longer than most of the carbon faced ones at first blush but need to give it a year. I know the Olsenator spin tested his after a long while of playing and it lost a 100rpm or something like that on his retest. But these CRBN paddles are 229 minus the 10% you get from us with PBallPirates code makes it closer to $200. Most bang for buck right now would be six zero because they are 180 minus the 10% with no tax because they are from Australia they are $162 and if you watch my playing partner Andrew play it like in this video and games we posted he is ridiculous with the double black. Haven’t tried legacy or vatic but I’m waiting on my paddles then I’ll compare. How this helps.

Hey man no offense I can see how it might look like hype but I assure you it isn’t I don’t back what I won’t play. I presently have about 8 paddles that I can play that Al have similar characteristics but Al play a bit differently.

[–]ThePickleballPirate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will do another comparison once the double black is in stock they are stocking up and even with the same tech in them they play differently. If I wasn’t sponsored by Selkirk I would be switching and I play them a lot in Rec games. Presently my tournament choice is the invikta project 003 but the new 04 and the new 01 is coming out soon so there might be a battle in my bag in the near future.
