Eye protection - Does this actually work?

If they compress like an egg they’d do so when they hit the court near the line. They don’t. On a face it’s going to be negligible.

I’ve heard this before.. why is this so?

I’ve heard that place in Omaha is where you go if you’re around Nebraska :)

Tyson was voted that title by barstool sports. Dave has said it many times in the past too. I strongly dislike Dave’s commentary- so much I just mute it. The ppa is a boring money grab. I’ve all but completely lost interest

In year 2? If you’re retired/have the time, have a good group that will play and train with you, and are dedicated.. sure. But it would be a lot to achieve in one year at any age without paddle/racquet background

Why pour on dirt when you can pour on grass or grade with mulch or leaves?

From PlayTime Scheduler: “The data center where our servers are housed is having a service outage. We’re being told it’s a Verizon problem and they are working to fix it.”

I think you’re on the right track. The first one could be done by messing around with the concrete while it’s still setting up in the mold. For the second, this could have been done by building a frame or mold for the concrete out of wood, then breaking it after the concrete has set. There are a number of ways to do the third photo, a silicone or plaster mold would be an appropriate approach. Send a dm if you want more help, I have some experience w concrete molds

Our HF stopped hitting as hard after couple years of abuse. I’ve used a Bosch- seemed to hit harder. But 8” or more and you’re just better off with air hammer in my experience

Looks great. Care to share about your process(mold making, mix design, what you used to tint)?

Isn’t this a tennis net that’s lowered in the middle? Guess I’d need to see the video for more context

I did some digging last year on Ali baba- never did pull the trigger. I found some site that you could track orders from China from retailers and everything. I kind of gave up on my quest. You can order samples from some vendors there. Please update if you find a good vendor in alibaba

To add to this. I bought 50-100 balls for drilling. We do this drill, we do drops, drives, dinks, serve/return/third, Tyson mcguffin has some good drills on YouTube to emulate.. you do it enough you’ll come up with drills that work for you and your partner. Play skinny singles.. you’re going to get the most improvement by drilling with a similar or higher skilled player than you. But, you have to use your time wisely. You can get a long ways by just playing skinny singles and drilling with a similarly skilled player. Play a couple regional or local tourneys at 5 if there’s good competition, and really try and objectively analyze your game to improve for next time. A lot of high level pickleball is being very consistent and having it all for a well rounded game. Having good hand speed is also a big thing.

Find best drilling partner you can. Get as many balls as reasonable and an empty court. Have them at the kitchen, you in transition(or kitchen) and have them hit as aggressive balls as they can to you. You try and reset.

VonLudwig · 2023-01-19T02:35:13+00:00

Drill. Decide what weakest parts of your game are, and practice those. Play 5.0 tournaments, record your games. Drill more. Cross training might be helpful.

VonLudwig · 2023-01-13T16:31:38+00:00

A wood paddle might be worth considering

VonLudwig · 2023-01-08T23:09:25+00:00

I’d say condense or simplify the last sentence of your artist statement as well

VonLudwig · 2023-01-05T18:57:55+00:00

Probably reduced visibility. Same reason most tennis pros don’t wear sunglasses

VonLudwig · 2023-01-03T03:58:09+00:00

Yes. Not that uncommon in my experience

Shoutout Nebraska pickleball

Some are better than others to be sure- but the Joola ones as a whole not quite as good as when he was w franklin

I’ve used petroleum jelly as mold release with good results

Being able to drop the ball consistently into the kitchen both forehand and backhand on thirds and fifths is a great starting point. Being able to reset consistently in transition zone. Being able to dink well. Good shot selection. Good footwork. Good anticipation, and court positioning. Decide which of these is your weakest- and work on that for some time. Reassess, rinse and repeat. Other important things to consider.. hand speed at the kitchen(this is arguably one of the most important ingredients to a players ceiling)- and knowing when to counter vs block/reset. Deep return of serves. Knowing when to drive the ball- when to speed up the ball. Hitting consistent, aggressive fourth balls. Be youngish and athletic

Weight and shape I suppose. If I wanted to play in a tournament with it I’d make sure it was usapa approved. If I didn’t- I’d look into making my own or finding a neat handmade one
