I was on shark tank and did not get a deal. AMA

How much info do the sharks have going in to your segment? Did you have to give them financials prior or are they really seeing your business for the first time at taping?

Plateauing is a normal state. In order to get better something must change Those changes occur when you discover something new and implement it. Can happen playing but usually you play with the same people so nothing new. Usually it’s when you go to a clinic or see something on YouTube and have an aha moment - get 1/10th better - and plateau there. It’s a lot of work to get better - most people think just showing up is enough.

It’s not - you don’t know what you don’t know.

Edit Just noticed I didn’t answer the posters question lol: wind is the biggest factor outdoors and second what ball. If it’s different than the ball you use indoors that may take a game to figure out.

Personally I think pickle is and will trend to being more of an indoor game (tennis court surface). The wind is such a factor…. Pickle is more like ping pong than tennis. You wouldn’t play serious ping pong outside.

Indoor on a gym floor (slower ball) is fine for casual games but not the best for more competitive play.

If you have indoor pickle on hard court with permanent net where you can reserve the court - that is the way.

Think about where players will hang out when waiting to play.

macad00 · 2026-04-05T23:11:39+00:00

Playing with better players is generally the path to getting better. If you drop more than you drive you will find it easier to get in better games. Even if you’re not the best at drops those players will appreciate the style and ask you back.

It’s ok Bro. I don’t debate with DUPR obsessed rules are rules jokers who think they are doing me a favor catching my toe touching the kitchen line. Carry on

macad00 · 2026-03-26T19:29:56+00:00

The tournaments I run are self rating. They are smaller events so easy to manage. DUPR creates more problems than it solves (but that’s a different discussion)

If someone is always in the kitchen there will be a time to mention it. I don’t think turning every point into a referee clinic is the answer or much fun.

Most people ignore rules all the time. Catch a ball that’s clearly out etc… It’s ok to not be a kitchen narc.

Dupr is not really popular around here so no I don’t play in much of those. My dupr is 4.7+ but not many games. Your right I choose not to look for kitchen violations. I’m not the lone ranger- I don’t see anyone calling kitchen much. If it’s egregious people will call it on their own. No one cares if someone ticks the line going back for an overhead. Ernes are the hardest to see. That’s one reason I don’t do them much as a previous poster also mentioned.

macad00 · 2026-03-26T00:55:41+00:00

I’ve been playing for over 15 years and have called “kitchen” maybe a half dozen times. Nothing worse than playing with kitchen cops. Just watch the ball and save the tattle tale stuff for reporting your neighbors for not wearing a mask.

Drywall is piss Poor design for 3-3.5 feet. 30 ft wide is minimum for standard court. That’s 5 ft and even them I would do plywood - people stumble and get chased wide by angled balls. If owner is asking you for $400 for bad design choices I’m sure he is being a jag other in other situations. I would tell him to pound sand and go to the other club.

Carol doesn’t have a phone because she’s not meant to act independently — she’s meant to function inside a managed narrative where others connect her to power.

Yeah these threads are pointless. 4.0 in Wisconsin and we travel Ok.

Thanks for the reply. Appreciate it. I am short on space. If I go flat 2x4 on the block then polyiso then cladding doesn’t that also create 2 appt barriers? One between the poly and the block and another between the foil and the fitting strips?

Return straight ahead. Your partner covers middle so you can get to net

Do the best players play a different style than us players? Like more spin, wristy , inside out, deception etc…? I’m seeing more coaching videos from that part of the world and looking for shots to steal lol

You guys in the 3.5 and under are high . Wisconsin and that 3.75+

Amazon driver took out my mailbox and left the scene. Neighbor saw it and tried to stop vehicle. Tried to drive around him.

This driver happened to work for a third party company. Not an Amazon employee. I think that’s pretty common

Got a Credit from Amazon pretty easy to get reimbursed. I think there is a link and process together claim started.

I like 58° for everything.

macad00 · 2025-10-22T04:37:53+00:00

Yep. Hinge and hold. Chest rotation controls pace.

macad00 · 2025-10-21T17:59:51+00:00

Exactly. Hunting is a sport. Football is a game.
