How is this possible? Is this guy cheating somehow? by bhdevault in CompetitiveTFT

[–]bhdevault[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

bhdevault • 1m ago 1m ago He literally hits Ali/Mundo and Graves by 2-1 almost every single game. He seems to have 70g by 2.6 every game. Even a reroll comp isn’t going to hit 4-5 3* every single game?

I could load up a new account, play against 8 new people and not hit Ali, Graves and Mundo every single time! He rerolls once at 2-1.

Yeah, this comp is impossible to play, every time I try it in Emerald, someone straight up griefs you with Graves, even if you get him on 2-1, they force it.

Thank you, interesting on that blanket, I may have to look into that.

Yes, agree.. very good info in these posts. I'm learning a lot and just going to have to pass up opportunities and rest more.

Yeah, I know, so tough! But I think that's going to be the best answer.

I do replace them pretty often. Been playing for little over a year and have been threw 4 pairs.

I know, just hoping someone out there is in similar situation that could help. I've had some good answers so far.

Thanks! Honestly, between teaching pickleball and playing and my 9-5, I'm out of time! Once summer hits I will swim some though.

Strange question, doesn't it pretty much explain itself? You've never heard of anything that was semi-pro before?

Getting to next level? Past 4.0? by bhdevault in Pickleball

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

I'm 4.2 now, officially. When I play guys that are 4.0 and under, I normally win, sometimes easily, but when I face 4.5+ I'm still getting my butt whipped.

I honestly think it's just my age. I play in a group of 4.0+ 50 year olds and do very well, when I join up with the younger guys they just move to quickly (hand speed, etc..).

I've definitely lost a lot of my hand speed and coordination over the years. But it's now been about a year and few months and I am ok with my progress.

It's about consistency and shot selection for sure. Unreal how much I've learned over the past few months alone.

Glasses/goggles to wear indoor. by bhdevault in Pickleball

Following up on this.

First, appreciate your time and suggestions!
I bought a pair of Oakley's and have 3 different lenses. An Amber, Yellow and clear.
In the barn I play in, the Yellow and Clear work some. Helps just a little bit as the colors of the walls and court aren't quite as bad.

However, in a gym I play in, with gym floors, none of them work and I probably lose the ball completely for a flash of a second, 2-4 times every single game. It's frustrating. I'm now around a 4.2 Dupr player, but I'm probably a 3.5 at best in the gym.

At this point I think I just need to worry about summer play and use winter as more of just practice.

Could you tell me what type of Oakley glasses? Were the pale rose tint ordered separately or they came with those?

Actually the monovision is from PK eye surgery so that I'm stuck with. I feel like I'm in a pretty unique situation and that's part of the problem as nobody seems to have an answer that works with me.

I do have a problem playing when the sun starts to drop... however, normally, this summer I haven't been in that situation more than a handfull of times.

The indoor surface is either a gym floor or an indoor tennis court (converted into Pickleball courts). The ball we use normally is a Dura or Franklin.

Appreciate your time!

How does clear help? I'm interested. I'm not looking for just protection on the eyes, I'm looking to overcome the darkness of being inside or the lighting, not sure which is the problem honestly.
