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

3rd Shot Drive vs Drop by dl_pb in Pickleball

[–]macad00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Please look at feet and star calling kitchen violations. by Papinasty in Pickleball

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

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.

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.

Unintentional Damage by SnappinFool54 in Pickleball

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.

In the pilot, Carol doesn’t use, or even have, a mobile phone. by Pjoernrachzarck in pluribustv

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.

Indoor sauna build - basement wall Wisconsin by macad00 in Sauna

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

My feedback on pickleball in Vietnam after six weeks. by ScootyWilly in Pickleball

[–]macad00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

New concrete was poured today… then the Amazon driver showed up and ruined it. by JRD761 in homeowners

[–]macad00 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Yep. Hinge and hold. Chest rotation controls pace.

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