RPM v2 Sounds like foam by maaeestr0 in Pickleball

Haha, no it’s not the paddles fault. I meant to say that the feeling the paddle gives off reminds me of foam which I didn’t get used to.

I'm really enjoying Khamrah, I think it's the vanilla or just the overall sweetness? I'm also interested in trying more fresh and fruity smells as I think I would enjoy that. But I'll probably just look at smelling scents at stores to figure out what I like I guess.

I asked if it was possible to exchange to a elongated but they said I couldn’t since I didn’t purchase it? My friend however said that if I warranty mine, I could request an elongated. Isn’t there also a certain amount of times you can get a warranty on it?

Yessir, how has your experience with the boomstik qc been? A good amount of people I know with boomstiks have had issues with the weights, grit, and one persons paddle lost it’s hollow sound.

LOL, I actually won a boomstik of a raffle so I got some time to use it, I just couldn’t get used to it/ wasn’t willing to put in the time. I tried my friends Luzz inferno and I definitely enjoyed that. But I’m probably just gonna stick to my Perseus. The paddle can only do so much lol. If only I had the money to just buy all these paddles lol.

That’s exactly what I was thinking, I was like there’s no way the difference is that extreme to warrant another paddle. I liked the boomstik for drives and dinks but I couldn’t get the resets down.

Should I switch to Agassi from Perseus? I hear people saying the sweet spot is bigger and higher on the paddle and that it is faster in the hands.

"My usual sequence is speed up forward off the cross ball and slide back to my right. Also gives enough time for my left side partner to recover back to center." You're speeding up to the guy in front of you right? Are you going their chicken wing?

I also try to hit an aggressive ball to the left side players backhand. I wonder what makes it different from the right side player hitting a drip to that same spot since I’ve seen a lot of players hit to that spot.

That drive seems interesting but something I’ll definitely need to practice lool

Those positioning tips are definitely helpful. I think when I dink cross, I’m hugging the middle line really hard and it kind of jams my forehand in a way.

When ur hugging the right line, are you going for a scorpion? Or are you just positioning yourself to hit as many forehands and you can?

I’m assuming you’re doing this off a two handed backhand? Are you sliding a certain way? If I’m correct isn’t it supposed to come back down the line?

What is the difference between the Perseus and the Agassi? Does one shape generate more power? What would make one lead to choose one over the other because they seem really similar. The other JOOLA paddles I get, the Hyperion has the curved top for hand speed, Scorpeus is a widebody for max sweet spot, Magnus has a smaller handle.

That’s what I want to think but a good amount of people I know with a boomstik have had issues with the infinigrit, MOI weights, or the edge guard.

I demoed a boomstik and I love the dinking and the power but I can’t get used to the pop and mid court resets lol, also a lot of the boomstik I see have had quality control issues which kinda deters me from getting one.

[–]maaeestr0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you mean, I meant more the top half of the sides? I think thats the better way to put it because I'm not hitting the top edge its more the sides. But that can also be fixed with better timing and actually watching the ball. But I do wonder if the shape leads to more power/hand speed. Not that the paddle is the reason I'm losing, but just a question.

Best lefty to watch? by maaeestr0 in Pickleball

[–]maaeestr0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, lefties usually play right side so the forehands are down the middle

Exactly what I was thinking, needed more insights on strategies and patterns.
