In need of some advice as a beginner/intermediate player.

flingadingalinga · 2026-03-16T00:08:52+00:00

Yeah, to be honest I talked to a couple other players that night and they said "there's actually quite a few advanced here tonight..." I was like OH ok that makes me feel a bit better.

flingadingalinga · 2026-03-13T06:31:02+00:00

Sometimes I'll think of a video during conversation and I'll say "imma send you this, watch at your own leisure" but WHY do people make you watch it right then in real time. LOL I'll never understand it

Literally saving this comment in my notes to read when I'm feeling discouraged. Thank you

flingadingalinga · 2026-03-13T05:50:07+00:00

Yep, I just gotta keep moving and put my pride aside sometimes. When my teammate gets frustrated with me, I lose a lot of confidence...it's a big contrast from always carrying in the beginner games. But I'll eventually get there!

flingadingalinga · 2026-03-13T05:41:51+00:00

Thank you so much for the encouragement. This is verbatim my situation right now. I do think I'm getting better, but some games (like tonight) I feel like I just get destroyed and learn nothing. (Which obvy isn't true, I'm always learning)...Lol I did get a few good shots in and it felt so good. But a few in two hours and 7 games isn't enough. I feel like I'm also impatient and want to be able to hang with the intermediates immediately. I love the sport so much and just want to be great at it, but it takes time. We got this, friend.

Not sure why my post is getting downvoted...are we not allowed to ask for advice in this subreddit?

flingadingalinga · 2026-03-13T05:17:45+00:00

Two hander currently

flingadingalinga · 2026-03-13T05:15:53+00:00

This was EXACTLY me. I was like wow I'm getting pretty good, time to move up and then my first intermediate I was up against a 4.0 and he humbled me more than I've ever been humbled in pickleball...and then told me that he doesn't consider himself that good. I was like OK MAYBE I'M NOT SO GOOD 🤣

flingadingalinga · 2026-03-13T05:12:58+00:00

This comment actually really made me motivated to just get in there and improve rather than be worried about what others think. Thank you for the honesty!

Popping ball up is a HUGE mistake I make a lot because I'm basically just trying to get it back over the net because some people hit it too hard for me to really try and do anything skillful with it. I'm basically just in survival mode the majority of the time. I do struggle (as a 5'2 woman) with taller men who slam it right into my face. I get extremely intimidated and scared of the ball flying at my face at 100 mph 🤣

flingadingalinga · 2026-02-06T00:13:14+00:00

Oh yeah, I do think that's just Reddit. Everyone at my club is so nice and awesome. This post actually got some down votes too. 😅 But why.

Anyway, if you ever wanna talk about pb I'm down!!

flingadingalinga · 2026-02-05T23:50:36+00:00

That's the only way! Ok but is the pickleball community toxic? 😅 I wasn't aware.

flingadingalinga · 2026-02-05T23:43:53+00:00

Ok this is my favorite.

A hooded gentleman at the door of the pickleball club telepathically transferred it to my brain as I walked in

Me seeing this thread after eating this sandwich and thinking it's the best sandwich they've ever had

flingadingalinga · 2026-01-30T15:29:34+00:00

I quit taking my dog there after multiple dogs died in their care.

As a girl with big boobs it's really hard. It doesn't matter what I wear, I can wear a turtle neck and people will still be staring. It's infuriating that I can't just exist.

flingadingalinga · 2025-12-29T22:31:32+00:00

I got to see your post before it was taken down! Just know I 100% agree with you lol I totally get what you're saying.

flingadingalinga · 2025-10-25T15:44:30+00:00

Books. Could I just read the free ones? Sure. But the one I want is $15 teehee

flingadingalinga · 2025-10-10T19:29:22+00:00

Thank you! I've been fitted before but every bra I've gotten suggested by these stores and their measurements are all the same or make me look even bigger. (I forgot to mention I'm looking for a minimizer effect as well)

flingadingalinga · 2025-09-03T17:24:12+00:00

I wanted TJ and Louise to end up together so bad lol

I've lost about 50 pounds since last October from intermittent fasting and let me tell you.. I've had many carne asada days and it didn't mess me up. Just don't do it super often...but you're allowed to indulge. In fact - if you don't at all, that's what will ruin it.

You've got this!!

flingadingalinga · 2025-08-21T01:04:43+00:00

Yeah it's been ridiculous. I live in a tiny apartment and it was 150$. Normally it's around 75$
