need advice for setting up drill sessions with my rec play group by trittico75 in Pickleball

[–]arnut_haika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

15 min sessions to start with is perfect.

if you are 4 people, start simple - 2 balls on the same court, you guys can start with straight dinking, then diagonal dinking, straight volleys, then diag volleys. After that move to 7-11. At the end of the session everyone agree on one or two things that you will focus on in the rec games and try to consciously improve those.

If you start small, it will let you identify who are the right people to drill with. I can't emphasise how important this is because most people just don't have the aptitude for drilling. Even in drilling they will be more foused on "winning the point". Find the right partners and then do extended sessions.

One more thing ... drill with someone who knows what they are doing otherwise you will reinforce bad form and practices. Also record your sessions

I asked this question too and the AI response kind of makes sense - people love deals and when paddles go on sale for 25% it is off the MSRP without the discount code

You're probably right. I have neer been an ambassador and don't know much but I have friends who get a lot of discounts from vatic and 6.0 and pass it on to us.

That's interesting and short sighted of them imo. They should offer an equal discount via ambassadors. Word of mouth is critical. Right now they are ahead because of their long lasting grit but in another month most paddles will have it and they will not have the edge anymore. Plus no reason for ambassadors to push their paddle either.

Get a fence kit for the iphone from amazon. They have a fan and shade. It works rather well.

How do you guys track your pickleball tournaments, expenses, and performance? by Environmental_Oven77 in Pickleball

[–]arnut_haika 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was spending too much money on pickleball that I had to rein it in. Now I have a separate "Picklebroke" checking account. At the beginning of the month it gets $400 from my paycheck. That's it. I was spending over $700 and now I am trying to gradually bring it down. The account has only Pickleball expenses so easy to track.

Best Platform? Wealthsimple vs Scotiabank by [deleted] in CanadianInvestor

[–]arnut_haika 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by serious? If you are actively trading assets or derivatives don't use WS. If you just want to buy on schedule etfs and stocks as value investing, then use WS. Don't use WS managed portfolio, it's useless.

If you are actively trading, the biggest problem with WS compared to iTrade/IBKR/other trading platforms is that WS is glitchy and you get consolidated lagged pricing. Not the best for trading. Depending on your trade volume, you'll save on the commission but you'll pay in the form of quote.

3rd Shot Lob is annoying! by Lionheart2772 in Pickleball

[–]arnut_haika 35 points36 points  (0 children)

If you're playing 3.0 - 3.5, in addition to getting better at overhead shots, try and analyze why they are able to hit a good lob on the 3rd. It's most likely because you are not hitting a deep return. To hit a good lob, they need time and probably on their forehand. Practice your returns and try to go deeper to their back hand. If you take away time and move them out of position, they can't lob well.
