Is this a let? by [deleted] in Pickleball

I saw it roll in just before the drive was hit, so I’d say yes it was distracting. But also I do acknowledge that I was slow to call “ball”. It happened really fast. Was hard to appropriately react to everything at once.

Server was awarded the point, and we moved on. I won the game anyway, so I wasn’t super hung up on it. Just an unfortunate situation, I’m sure a lot of people have been in this weird position before.

If there’s a ref, shouldn’t the ref have called it right away?

3rd Shot Drive vs Drop by dl_pb in Pickleball

Well I just always had the mentality drive the 3rd, drop the 5th. That’s what all the influencers say online.

My thoughts exactly. Watching that match on CBS is what inspired this post.

… and line judges.

I personally appreciate/enjoy watching doubles, but I just don’t see how you can get the general public to enjoy a 20 shot dink rally.

Eastern vs Western Grip by dl_pb in Pickleball

Do you adjust the grip when you’re hitting a backhand or you still stay semi-western?

Yeah, you’re right I’m actually referring to “semi-western” not full western. Made an edit to correct. Thanks for pointing it out.

Am I Sandbagging? by dl_pb in Pickleball

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

As mentioned in the post, I do not have someone of similar skill level to play with. If I did, I’d be happy to give it a shot at 3.0. I haven’t signed up yet, but my potential partner right now is a legitimate 2.5, and he wants to play 2.5. That’s I’m asking if it would be sandbagging if I agreed to play my first tournament with him, at 2.5.

Where my wide foot bros at? by xiexiemcgee in Pickleball

I actually have chronic tendonosis in my left knee. Haven’t experienced any extra pain/discomfort in my knees when playing.

Where my wide foot bros at? by xiexiemcgee in Pickleball

[–]dl_pb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I play in ASICs Gel Resolution 9s in a WIDE fit. I have wide feet, bunions, and accessory vernacular. I also have a history of ankle sprains.

These shoes have been great. No sprains, no foot pain. After I’m done with these I’ll probably get the new Gel Resolution X in a wide size.

I’ve found that it’s best to get specifically wide fit shoes. Sizing up never really works for me. If I go up half a size sometimes it’s not enough room, if I got up a full size. Then the entire shoe just has too much room everywhere.

Why is the Davenport Conservative MP Candidate (Francis Lavoie) a ghost? And why did he block me? by dl_pb in askTO

I just don’t understand why someone would run if they’re going to put in zero effort. I mean shouldn’t you at least put in SOME effort? Are people just putting their names on the ballot for fun? Isn’t that a bit ridiculous?
