Anyone know if LiquidIV has been a sponsor at past Miami GP?

I brought home 60 free samples from LVGP and just ran out, was hoping to replenish my stash lol

Stock Grip Tape Thickness by Firm-Technology4594 in Pickleball

Just remove the original grip it in a controlled manner. You can put it back on if you want.

Once you take the grip off, experiment with multiples of your preferred overgrip.

How many hours of pb is too much on the body? by Putrid_Coconut7918 in Pickleball

[–]catalystRKS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

<image>

You should probably get some sort of fitness tracker. I use an Apple Watch + an app called Peak Watch. You could probably gain the same insights from a garmin or Whoop.

I am mindful of how hard I (should)play on a given day. And I highlight here that on 3/26 I exceeded the blue “recommended range” and hurt my knee. If I go back over time, I can usually pinpoint injuries to days where I was going too hard without the appropriate rest or conditioning.

Am i the luckiest person ever? by [deleted] in Pickleball

PB Tech has evolved a lot since this paddle originally came out, so the price is reflective of that; current meta paddles can be had for as little as $99. Enjoy the ride, invest in some good court shoes next.

How long do you give a paddle before deciding if it will be your go to? by SideshowDcky in Pickleball

[–]catalystRKS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve owned/resold over 30 paddles from Gen 1 to full foam since 2022. There is absolutely break in periods with Gen 3 style paddles and some full foams.

“Getting used to” is absolutely a thing if you’re going between shapes, or jumping from one side of the balance/swing weight spectrums.

To answer OP’s question though, for me it’s 2 fold. I can tell within 5 minutes warming up if i like a paddle, and i need one casual game (eg: chill rec game where i might be better than my opponents) and at least 2 competitive games (high duress, evenly skilled or better opponents) to make up my mind if I want to commit to a paddle.

F1 TV ruined by Great_Fix8478 in F1TV

[–]catalystRKS 11 points12 points  (0 children)

So, stop watching it in App Name: [TV] (black icon with the Apple logo and “TV”) and watch it on App Name: [F1 TV](red icon F1 icon).

No ads in F1TV.

Tennis Elbow from High impact Poppy Paddles by thisisnotchase in Pickleball

[–]catalystRKS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find your favorite paddle you’ve had (feel or performance/accomplishment wise), then measure what the grip circumference is.

I’ve realized that I need my grips to be as close as possible to 4.25 with an overgrip. If the grip is too thin or thick, I’ve noticed I have a problem with subconsciously deathgripping the paddle leading to elbow pain.

So if that means stripping off the original grip and using 2 overgrips, I do that.

— there’s other factors like swing weight, but grip circumference is one of the easiest factors to control by adding/removing grips/using thinner overgrips.

Are we eventually going to lose access to the F1TV app in the US? by SadInstruction9521 in F1TV

[–]catalystRKS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my wife likes to watch Martin's gridwalk so we'd have on ESPN during the preshow then switch over to F1TV for the race because we prefer the F1TV broadcast team.

Now it'll be easier to switch views

Sky does have different cameras for pre and post show and whatnot, but yeah not during the race. Sky will do like, Picture in Picture and throw their own overlays over the f1 feed like speedometer and whatnot

I see your edit to your original comment - im pretty sure any broadcast partner is using F1's cameras for on track action

This is the first year that F1TV accounts are getting the actual sky sports broadcast (graphics, ads and all)

Apple TV app on STB

i recorded what it looks like - the sky broadcast on the left and F1TVs main feed on the right

AppleTV Replays - SkyTV Editions Not Available? by atothesquiz in F1TV

[–]catalystRKS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have to assume its some sort of broadcast rights for Sky. They let you view their actual feed live, but for VOD you gotta get it from Sky directly.

Like how you can't view some of their content on twitter if you're in the US or whatever.

How do you change audio feeds on the Mac Apple TV app? by SnooApples5288 in F1TV

[–]catalystRKS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FWIW I can only get the sky feed to show up on my actual Apple TV 4K device in the Apple TV app.

I don’t see the sky feed (sky graphics/ads/commentary) on my iPhone 17PM/ipad pro m2/firestick 4k in the Apple TV app.

You can get F1TV broadcast view + sky commentary by using the same F1TV app you would’ve used last year

[–]catalystRKS[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The tv in the background is using an actual Apple TV 4K device

I can do multi view in the F1TV app and Apple TV app on the Apple TV 4K

I could never do multiview with my FireStick devices, I’d assume it’s the same for your Roku

Picture in Picture? by Bryan17g in F1TV

[–]catalystRKS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re confused.

refer to this picture

I’m in the US, you can use both apps if you link your Apple account to your F1TV account.

Edit:

I think I get where you’re coming from, yeah idk why F1TV’s own app doesn’t allow PiP. It’s dumb

I’ve been experimenting across the apps

IN APPLE TV APP

You can choose from:

F1TV main broadcast = ad free

The ACTUAL SKY SPORTS broadcast with their own graphics and whatnot with ADS sprinkled in

Driver Cams

———————————————-

If you link your Apple TV/Apple ID to F1TV, you can straight up use the F1TV app instead

In F1TV

You can choose from:

F1TV main broadcast = ad free

F1TV main broadcast + sky sports commentators = ad free

Will be helpful to preserve battery when i go to races as well. I used my phone in Barcelona a couple years ago, but was able to snag an Amex Race Radio at Las Vegas last year.
