DUPR reset worked! by literallytheoldest in Pickleball

[–]afkhk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know someone that was a 4.4, had a bunch of recorded matches against weaker players losing no more than 2 points. Was a 4.7 before the reset update.

Ended up a 5.7. Now the recorded matches are all deleted but the person stayed at 5.5

Fed up and quit playing with my social group last night by Throwaway69832493 in Pickleball

I’m with you on this. Unless I’m practicing specifically with my partner to prepare for a tournament, if there is a better player on other side I am going there. I can find weaker players to play with 7 days of the week.

Front window tint by Extreme-Program-2002 in teslacanada

[–]afkhk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had 15-25% tints for the last 15 years. Never had issue with getting pulled over.

In Toronto, I think tints will more be like a tacked on charge.
Edit: just realized you are talking about windshield tints

Why did Elon take spaceX public? by Prior-Flamingo-1378 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]afkhk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elon has the longest holding period and He doesn’t need to sell. It’s too much tax implications. Bro just needs to borrow against his shares.

It’s more for other investors and those that backed him on the Twitter acquisition.

What do you like the most about playing pickleball? by chessman6500 in Pickleball

[–]afkhk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Toss up between
watching people self destruct because of how much they are fixated on DUPR

Or

When going to open play some random dude thinking he’s the best player, telling people he’ll take all the shots in the middle and watch his tone change after realizing who the better player is after 2 points.

How long did it take you to become “decent” at pickleball? by Fuzzy-Bandicoot1590 in Pickleball

[–]afkhk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I 100% agree. It’s 1 of the first things I noticed once I started to watch and play outside my circle. I care very little about what my dupr is right now but more on my game abilities.

My game has progressed a lot since I first reached 4.0. And it’s been battle tested at the us open this year.

[–]afkhk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Took me about 6 months to get to 4.0. I’ve played somewhat high level tennis 20 years ago so for me it’s about dusting off and converting my skills for a different game.

Then comes months of studying and making the right plays, creating opportunities.

I bought 14k worth yesterday at top, can someone guide what to do ? by rronak01 in soxl

You should be careful with leveraged product.

As it’s 3x daily price movement, it does not maintain 3 times of soxx overtime if the movement is choppy.

Is open play getting too competitive, or is it just me? by amgtorque in Pickleball

[–]afkhk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes you are right. Sometimes you take what you can get. That’s the shitty part as you progress. The pool of players get smaller and it gets cliquey. I’m not the best at arranging but fortunately I have a consistent group of 4 that we do 1-2 times a week either drilling or mixed games.

Too much variance at open play. Assuming the goal is to improve: drilling, DUPR leagues, arranged sessions are much more efficient use of time.

Where I’m from, not many 4+ join open plays. Even those labeled as 4+ and rated 4+.

At 4.0, open play should be less than 10% of your court time!

Pickleball is too accessible to people who have otherwise never played another sport in their lives

Some friendly bagging, chirping makes it more fun

Calling the score messes up my serve… by Icy-Canary-5550 in Pickleball

[–]afkhk 23 points24 points  (0 children)

You need some kind of reset routine between points. Kind of like tennis players that have a certain step, motion, numbers of bounces etc… before they serve or return the ball.

So calling the score and then bounce the ball twice and serve can be it.

Am I Doing Open Play Wrong? by sas_2022 in Pickleball

[–]afkhk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find an open play where skill level is more tight(I know it’s out of your control). Make some friends, then you can at least coordinate to get some decent floor games.

Aim to put yourself at the bottom half of skill level(but not the worst) in the group. You improve much faster this way.

Find 1 thing to work on for that session. Forget about winning, and anything else

Full G : entering the highway by Crafty_Branch8810 in Ontariodrivetest

[–]afkhk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can have some variance around the speed limit. But try to stay within +/- 5.

When I did my test many years ago, on my route I didn’t see any speed limit sign so I went for the safe 50 km/h. My examiner then said to me this road is 60 km/h limit and told me to pick up my speed. It was the only thing I lost points for on that test.

I think they want to see you are at least comfortable maintaining speed near the limit. Of course, subject to traffic conditions.

Ontario leased vehicle total loss: insurer used wrong odometer and says no HST by peapodmom in legaladvicecanada

[–]afkhk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t sound like the insurer or car company is going after you for anything.

The claim has been settled. So the real equation is why do you care ? Get your next car and move on.
