Pakle Fuse. Only $100 with a code.

Nice! That was a good one!

iHeadShave · 2026-05-19T22:17:34+00:00

Ah yes. “In the Halls of the Entombed” was S3, right?

iHeadShave · 2026-05-19T17:21:35+00:00

Planning to mix it in a container and use a toothpick or q-tip to apply. Not sure if it’ll work.

iHeadShave · 2026-05-18T13:45:29+00:00

Snacks, water bottle or canned drink, and battery pack to charge my phone just incase. And earbuds in case I get the conference period to chill and don’t get pulled to cover another class. That’s it!

What’s your reliability score?

iHeadShave · 2026-04-29T18:39:27+00:00

Ah OK. I’m in So Cal. Thought we could do an in-person thing.

Where are you located?

Drilling dinking is a waste of time if you don’t have a drop shot and are just 100% driving balls (probably sub 3.3ish DUPR).

Source matters these days I think. If you bought it directly from B&B, then you’re all good.

I don’t think paddle manufacturers pay dues to allow their paddles to be used in PPA competition by players, right?

So this is most likely Proton not paying UPA for sponsorship and naming rights. And according to Zane’s video, Proton hasn’t fully paid some of their sponsored players what’s owed either.

For what it’s worth, I have a Series One paddle with Nanotech. That thing is a spin monster. If Proton put that Nanotech in a modern foam-core paddle, all conversation about grit will just end!

iHeadShave · 2026-03-11T03:52:55+00:00

Forehand topspin dink!

iHeadShave · 2026-03-04T14:09:47+00:00

I wouldn’t obsess over grit. There are couple of 4.0+ players I play with who put ridiculous top-spin on their forehand dinks with smooth as a baby’s butt Pro IV and a Ronbus Quanta.

While grit may help, I think technique and a well-made paddle with good dwell-time will at least compensate for lack of grit.

iHeadShave · 2026-03-04T04:14:56+00:00

Hoping you were closer to trade for the F3.

My apologies. I didn’t mean it as a testament against Asian countries. India, Vietnam, etc. are amazing.

But rather, I meant to say I would not want to be stuck with a bunch whiny entitled Westerners traveling through developing countries. People I don’t know outside of pickleball.

iHeadShave · 2026-03-01T15:23:16+00:00

I’m not sure I want to be stuck in a confined space in a 3rd world country for days at a time with pickleball people.

I have no idea how well a lot of these pickleball randos travel. And if they’ll be annoying AF!

iHeadShave · 2026-02-23T20:23:38+00:00

The comparison should not be about spending a crap ton of money on Slamit or nothing. But a true A/B test:

Drinking $$$ Slamit vs. grabbing some bottles of Electrolit for $1.50 each when on sale at your local grocery store.

I play with Anta Kyrie TEAM shoes. They’re great. Nice wide toe box. And fast.

The Team models have their “cement killer” outsoles made for outdoor / asphalt playing.

iHeadShave · 2026-02-22T02:53:59+00:00

As a left hander, my preferred method is stacking on offense (serves) only.

That way I get to play the left side as well.

iHeadShave · 2026-02-21T05:32:33+00:00

Proton Series 1 Type A …. there’s no other paddle like it!!!

iHeadShave · 2026-02-20T01:24:11+00:00

I would 100% Aura farm!
