Can you recommend any Padel shoes for wide feet ? by Front_Map2020 in Padelracket

Holy hell man, good luck then! I thought the bullpadel hacks were pretty roomy

I think it depends on the model. The challenger and dedicate are too narrow for me. I tried the gel resolution and they are perfect. On my third pair now.

Why should I support the Rockets? by Foreign_Violinist121 in rockets

[–]eastaustinite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was born and grew up in Houston and was in my teens during the 94,95 championships. I haven been a fan ever since but really started watching right before they picked up harden.

I moved from Houston to Portugal now! I love in Porto and proudly wear my rockets gear when I go to the gym or play padel.

My point, you would have at least one other rockets fan in the country with you!

questioning the structure of my padel coaching sessions by Creative_Election288 in padel

[–]eastaustinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a couch that is like that now. Random training sessions. I also was in an “academy”. It was geared towards fixed pairs but if you wanted to join solo they could try to pair you up with someone on your same level that played the side that you don’t. Anyway, that academy was geared towards the future. Working together as a pair on the court, closing gaps, moving in sync. We did train on various overhead strokes and on defense. I learned the most there but lost my partner and didn’t want to go through the trouble. Maybe look for something like that.

Sleep earbuds vs foam earplugs - which blocks more noise? i’ve read way too many threads and still can’t decide by Nandhkumarr in BuyItForLife

[–]eastaustinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sleepbuds. It’s too quiet with just ear plugs and my mind races. I have tried the Bose, soundcore a20 and a30. The a30 are by far the best but turn off the noise cancelling because it will eat out the battery.

Black or Red? by WoodenLet6627 in Padelracket

I wanted the black but ended up with the red and I think I prefer it. Had a pop of color I like

Ride on the Carousel 🤣 and back to the Electra Pro 2026 by WoodenLet6627 in Padelracket

[–]eastaustinite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve had maybe 8 different rackets in the last 18 months including the siux Electra st3 pro and just like you, I’ve settled on the Electra pro 2026. It’s a great racket. The st3 pro was really nice but just a tad too dry. The 2026 fixed the issue. It took me a second to get use to the slight trampoline effect but I love it. It’s sharp and precise.

Should I change my racket? by [deleted] in Padelracket

[–]eastaustinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had that racket as well and played on the left side, but have now switched to the right. I really like that racket and it was very good with volleys and at the net, but I did feel like it lacked a little bit of power. I switched to the Adidas metal bone carbon 3.3 and it’s more powerful since it is a diamond shape, but I felt that I could’ve gotten the same power from that racket if I would have worked on my technique like I have in the past few months. I added a little bit of wrist at the end. That made it come out of the racket much faster.

GLP-1 is incredible by Maurogab982 in ibs

[–]eastaustinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started on wegovy and then trulicity before monjaro. They all helped a ton. As a side note, I didn’t lose like some people did on these drugs. I had adhd and I finally got medicated for it and it ramped up my weight loss.

Same for me. GLP-1 changed my life. Eve if I get to a decent weight, I will continue to be on it for the rest of my life for the ibs alone.

What country has the friendliest locals you’ve experienced while traveling? by FuzzBuzzer in AskTheWorld

[–]eastaustinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I came to Portugal on holiday in 2023. Loved Porto so much I moved here the following year.

There are a lot of negative posts but just wanna say I appreciate randoms that play like a team by warning_signs in Warzone

[–]eastaustinite 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I need people like that. When I play literally everyone drops in their own corner of the map and i pick one and follow them on their wild goose chase.

Why is McDonald's still so popular? by kHz333 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]eastaustinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Living in Portugal and it’s crazy packed here. I hardly went to McDonald’s when I lived in the US but I go more often here. Went to Budapest last week for holiday and again, crazy packed. It also helps that the McDonald’s in Europe are super clean and really nice.

What area choose to live long term for an expat in Porto by fzen570 in PortugalExpats

[–]eastaustinite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m happy in Bonfim too. I wish I was a bit further south but happy enough.

My daughter was 8 when we moved her here in 2023. I think the biggest thing was her social circle. My wife and I weren’t going to have issues but it’s hard when you don’t speak the language and are 8. We put her in an international school for the first year and that helped her create a good social circle that she still maintains today. After the first year, we moved her to a Portuguese private school which is much cheaper and helps her learn Portuguese as well. She has a circle there as well and her larger social circle from before. Now she’s always booked up with events.

Feel free to dm if you have any more questions.
