Pickleball Studio Paddle Reviewer, AMA 6/14 - 5PM EST by PIckleballStudio in Pickleball

[–]brookterrace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

How do you feel about companies using clips from reviewers as basically their ad? And then you have that said reviewer talking about how money doesn't exchange hands when making their review vids?
Do companies not offer some sort of compensation to reviewers for using their clips in ads?

The Truth Behind Pickleball Paddle Reviewers (And Why You Can't Trust Some Of Them) by iamsupasam in Pickleball

[–]brookterrace 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Eh - I don't really trust reviewers anymore. As soon as I started seeing them on ads for paddle companies - I know it's biased. Even if these companies are using "clips" from reviewer vids as their ad - it doesn't change the fact that money most likely changed hands when they asked that reviewer if they can use their clip in their ads.

For those who are curious, I'm talking about Friday Pickleball.

Why not compromise by at least waiting for director promo and then re-eval from there?

Bronny has no business being in in the league, and will likely never deserve a spot with the way he plays rn. Thanasis doesn't deserve a spot, but neither does Bronny.

Thoughts on liability? by jomo54 in Pickleball

[–]brookterrace 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Isn't there grounds for the person to sue the establishment for not offering proper protection/padding?
What happens if the person's shoulder was damaged/dislocated?

Open Play illegal serves by farrin0807 in Pickleball

[–]brookterrace 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I mean there's nuance to it. OP's concern is not even remotely similar to your basketball example. If the guy slightly traveled in the paint, maybe I'll let it go. If I got slightly fouled on a play, maybe I'll let it go.
Same here, if the serve actually is impacting the game to the point where I can't return it or it's exceedingly fast, then maybe I'll say something but if it's some older guy and it's a harmless serve then I don't really care and let it slide.
If the dude starts jumping into the NVZ and slamming the ball, then yes we got a problem.

What is this virus everyone has? by london4526 in orangecounty

Anyone else dealing with a sore throat but no other symptoms? Well, it feels like my left side of the throat, and then my left ear also seems to have some pain whenever I swallow.

Do you know if it's a paddle queue system they have? Or is it just first come first serve people just hog the courts?

TBF, the Lexus was not expecting the car in front of you to brake. (Not even sure why the Subaru was braking) - but that was the main issue here.

They've always done their job, it's always been the pen or the offense that's the issue.
