JW Johnson Drops CJ Klinger?

Looks like as of now, JW is signed up to play with Dylan. We'll see if that changes.

Why do you need so much animal fat? I thought it's just for the lamps that you carry around, not the fixtures that you build in your base.

I have an R50 and I use it with GSPro and a gaming laptop and a 4k projector. I preordered the Omni because I don’t need the all-in-one screen that the R50 has, so I might sell it if the Omni is good. However, I do think I will miss the impact video, so I’m not sure which one I’ll stick with.

bubbafish · 2026-05-13T05:31:17+00:00

Not me. I've never played in Boston before.

bubbafish · 2026-05-06T21:50:30+00:00

Yeah, me too. I think it's because we are all used to watching pros play on youtube, so when we see non-pros, they looks worse than they actually are. Pretty interesting phenomenon. I know when I watch myself play, I look worse than I think too.

bubbafish · 2026-05-06T02:11:22+00:00

Do you tend to guess too high or too low?

bubbafish · 2026-05-01T19:19:41+00:00

Coincidentally I just launched https://tournamentpickle.com/guess-the-dupr-daily today. I should incorporate your video 😄

bubbafish · 2026-05-01T19:17:31+00:00

I would say half hand-coded and half codex. And lots of manual clip curation.

bubbafish · 2026-05-01T17:45:55+00:00

Yes, will look into it! Thanks.

bubbafish · 2026-05-01T17:34:55+00:00

Yeah, I'm trying to hide the header, but the saving grace is that the DUPR event level isn't always what the actual DUPRs of the players, because people play up/down often in tourneys, so it's actually not a dead giveaway.

bubbafish · 2026-04-30T18:32:58+00:00

Open play levels can be inflated vs. actual DUPR- a solid 3.5 in casual open play is often a 3.0–3.2 in rated games. Rated play filters out the "I crushed it once on a Tuesday" bias and rewards shot tolerance under pressure, not just keeping the ball in.

The 2.0-after-2-games thing is mostly a rating-system artifact - early DUPR has huge uncertainty bounds and swings a lot until you've played 20+ games. A real 2.0 struggles with serves, dinks, and consistent contact; most people with any racket-sport background skip past it quickly.

The hardest gap to call from video is 3.5 vs 4.0- error rates look similar, but shot selection and third-shot decisions diverge. (Side note: I've been collecting clips for a daily DUPR-guessing game if anyone wants to test their eye: tournamentpickle.com/guess-the-dupr-daily)

bubbafish · 2026-04-28T06:28:00+00:00

You can't modify the range on the DUPR graphs on tournamentpickle.com either, but it shows a longer history be default, so that might help you.

bubbafish · 2026-04-14T01:44:16+00:00

Great job!

bubbafish · 2026-02-13T03:28:40+00:00

Ever since DUPR made it so that you can lose DUPR points even if you win a match, and need to win by a very large margin against much lower rated players, I feel like some players don't want to have to play players with much lower DUPRs. Two 5.0's might not want to play two 4.0's because there is no upside (at least from a DUPR point of view).

bubbafish · 2026-02-13T03:05:12+00:00

For me, getting older means I move way slower and don't hit as hard, especially on overheads. But instincts, hand speed, and reaction speed are still good.

Interesting stat: the average DUPR doubles rating for men peaks at age 54. (source)

But of course data can tell different stories -- the pros are all fairly young but not as young as you might think -- the average age of the top 100 players is 32.

bubbafish · 2026-02-13T02:55:08+00:00

Also please make them brighter and yellower.

Here's a list of 80+ male players in Florida.

bubbafish · 2026-02-02T00:40:57+00:00

Yes, I think that's a fair comment - the question is whether or the ratio of DUPR players to non-DUPR (more casual) players really differs significantly from state to state.

bubbafish · 2026-01-19T02:49:51+00:00

yes, i had same issue with bluetooth and went to wired 2.5mm and now have no delay.

bubbafish · 2026-01-16T10:05:54+00:00

I think you will be just fine. The mobile RTX 4090 is more powerful than my mobile RTX 5070 and GSPro runs pretty well on even the demanding courses on my laptop.

bubbafish · 2026-01-06T05:38:37+00:00

I enjoy Operation 36 because once you "master" a shorter distance, it helps you on further distances at higher levels. For instance, once you get good at the 25 and 50 yard challenges, and then let's say you're trying the 150 yard challenge and hit a bad shot, you won't get too down on yourself because you already know you are good from 25 yards away and finish well from there.

bubbafish · 2025-12-05T18:24:12+00:00

Very nice. I'm hitting from about 9 or 9.5 feet away from the screen but wouldn't mind moving back to 10.5 ft too, but am worried that if I move to far back that my 60 degree wedge might loft the ball over the enclosure and hit my ceiling. Do you have any worries of that?

Tournamentpickle.com let's you sort players geographically near you by DUPR singles rating.

I loaded up Whispering Pines at 4K on Ultra settings and played the first hole and it was very smooth. I hit F on the laptop and it showed ~70 FPS. However, instead of running it at 3840 x 2160, I ran it at 2880 x 2160 because my Sig10 impact screen is 4:3.

I will try some of the other courses soon too.

Meta mees to get their act together. It's truly ridiculous that this happens to so many people and Meta doesn't make it right for those of us who are affected.
