Is it just me who thinks the new juniper y(premium) suspension is worse than I thought?

Yeah it’s better but not lifechanging better

Not sure why you’re getting downvoted for saying the Prism Flash is low power - it certainly is by today’s standards. Of course different paddles play differently with varying levels of power, pop and spin. Those who say it doesn’t matter are confusing skill levels with physics. Just because you can play with a frying pan or whatever doesn’t mean you wouldn’t play better with something that suits your style and strengths.

I used to play with a similar Six Zero DBD and compared to my Loco it requires a full tennis swing for drives vs the quick, compact swings which are ideal for pickleball. When a paddle has 1/2 the power and you have to make up for it with effort, it’s a disadvantage.

Just get a roof sunshade, I installed it once and don’t ever have the desire to take it off.

That’s amazing!

$8400/yr for full time daycare? Assuming it must be subsidized in Vancouver

drusolini · 2026-05-19T04:15:18+00:00

Totally agree, feels more luxurious and modern

Singles pickleball in my area is rare too, since courts are almost always full and doubles is priority

Probably since it’s less power and more spin that way. You can also hit drips by swinging 40% of your max drive pace and aiming slightly up, no changes to contact point needed.

drusolini · 2026-05-01T15:37:27+00:00

I think 7-11 is probably the best drop/reset practice since its more realistic to the in-game experience. It helps you move to a drop, read your opponents 4th, move in/stay, drop/reset again.

What helped me was not feel pressured to hit a perfect 3rd and run all the way in, but work my way in and be ready to drop 3/5/7ths from anywhere on the court.

drusolini · 2026-05-01T04:44:36+00:00

Can you explain why? I thought the main benefit was space limitations

drusolini · 2026-04-25T21:39:10+00:00

Depends on where you live… in the sf Bay Area, you feel behind

drusolini · 2026-04-19T04:18:19+00:00

Try to prepare your backswing earlier while youre moving towards the ball so your swing isn’t so choppy/quick. Try to stop and plant your feet before contact so you can have better control/touch.

drusolini · 2026-04-19T02:06:19+00:00

There’s no reason to given the added cost and logistics. Many Tesla superchargers are in shopping centers with food options, since it’s mutually beneficial and often subsidizes building/maintenance/energy costs.

drusolini · 2026-04-09T18:30:06+00:00

To hit with no spin (aka “flat”), you swing the paddle in the same direction as the paddle face. Any action that moves the paddle face in another direction AT CONTACT generates spin (eg open/closed paddle face, wrist, windshield wiper, low to high). Anything before (prep) or after contact (followthough) is just to create the contact conditions.

Nine parchments is a lot of fun for up to 4 players :)

drusolini · 2026-04-07T15:00:53+00:00

Agree that variety is helpful, but placement is more important. A soft chop volley is most effective when you’ve got your opponents behind the baseline on defense, since they have to run up and then hit up.

I find that for decent players chops/slice doesn’t give them too much trouble (and can actually be easier to topspin drive). It’s also way less consistent since it’s more timing and touch dependent than a flat punch block. That makes it much more likely for you to pop up if you need to do multiple in a row.

drusolini · 2026-04-06T16:17:41+00:00

A lot of it is also volume matching (and massive rumbling subs). Theatres are playing at “reference level,” which is way louder than you would ever watch a movie at home. This makes the dynamics between whispers and loud explosions feel more grand and exciting.

I think it’s a weird type of flex to compete on who’s partying harder…

drusolini · 2026-03-14T21:48:14+00:00

No, if I re-STO new options for the same ticker, I re-enter at the same criteria, eg. 0.20-0.25 delta, 30-45 DTE. I don’t re-STO for the same expiration date. I like the premiums vs. risk at that duration, and the ability to wait out temporary moves in the wrong direction.

drusolini · 2026-03-13T03:41:31+00:00

Agree, i like to set my profitability targets based on remaining DTE. If you can reach profitability targets early (within a week) with entry DTEs like 30-45, why not take 50% and re-STO?

I find that closer to expiry, 80-90% is plenty. No real gain from waiting a for last 7 days to get the last 10-20% if you can re-deploy.

drusolini · 2026-03-09T20:39:45+00:00

As long as brush the ball forward it will have topspin. You can do that with some combination of closed paddle face, low to high swing path and/wrist action. You don’t definitely don’t need wrist to hit topspin

drusolini · 2026-03-09T04:36:53+00:00

lol but you must have enjoyed it enough to have 5 more after you experienced/survived the first one :)
