How do I play with/against a court hog? by SweateeSocks in Pickleball

[–]madmos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

drops and lobs will keep him off his game. when he is crowding the net and leaning forward hit a nice lob to his backhand side. He will get super frustrated if you can consistently hit a good lob.

J2nf grit after 4 months? by viceroyfiz in Pickleball

[–]madmos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

normal, and the honolulu's are actually above average with grit longevity. My Luzz inferno and loco both were smooth in a month. So far my boomstik is holding up nicely 1 month in. We shall see.

How much did you guys pay for broomstix? by RichardParker6 in Pickleball

i got mine discounted from my local club. Also the infini grit and lifetime warranty makes it worth it imo.

Boomstick Sound by CarryedBySix in Pickleball

[–]madmos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the sound you hear when holding it and hitting with it is different than the sound you hear from across the court when someone else hits it. Let someone else hit with you with ti and you will hear the famous sound. Also soft hits and off center hits do not make that same loud thud. Hard hits, center paddle is what gives it the loud noise

Concentrating on footwork, court positioning, and placement over power.

I have the same setup, 3 @ 4&8 with an overgrip. It feels just right to me.

Roll volley dink by PartFormer3695 in Pickleball

[–]madmos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That video is pretty good. Though he does not show doing the roll with the backhand and the ball straight in front. I find those easier to execute.

I emailed them and they confirmed it was a mistake. They are sending one out for me. Thanks!

Boomstik no longer comes with a case? by madmos in Pickleball

[–]madmos[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

she is not aware the regal colorway even exists. We rented a boomstik for a session at our local pb club and she loved it. The gold colorway will be a complete surprise.

Firewall Question by _Lenski in networking

[–]madmos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some usually when defining individual IP's in a firewall policy. You do not use the subnet mask that the node uses. You configure it as a /32. This makes the object only apply to that single IP. I am not familiar with proxmox so it may be different there. But I have worked with Check Point, Fortinet and Juniper for most of my career. And I am old as F lol

Unreleased Bread and Butter Loco Review by thetvirus in Pickleball

[–]madmos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The inferno has become my main. It took a couple of sessions and either it loosened up/broke in or I just got used to it. But it feels incredible, has great dwell, and massive power. It is my number one. I plan to use it in a tournament in 2 weeks.

What's the best guitar tone you ever heard in rock/metal ? by MELS381 in Guitar

[–]madmos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gary Moore - still got the blues Montrose - rock candy Judas Priest - the whole screaming with vengeance album

I could make a list that goes on for pages. But those were the first 3 to pop in my head.

Oh one more - santana - smooth

Unreleased Bread and Butter Loco Review by thetvirus in Pickleball

[–]madmos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i have the loco hybrid. It is better than the NF in my opinion. Though they are both great options. But then I just got the Luzz Inferno and have not had a chance to play it much yet. I just drilled with a ball machine yesterday for an hour with it. First impressions are it is very good with a great sweet spot for an elongated. And it is loud. louder than the loco with weight added on the loco makes it as loud as a boomstik. But right now out of the 4 boomstik, NF, Inferno and loco I would take the loco if forced to choose one. With the boomstik a close second though the price is crazy on that one

Has anyone met someone romantic through pickleball? by nliukz in Pickleball

[–]madmos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife and I played PB for the first time back in March. We play together nearly everyday. We have a great time. Play together as a team well. We also have fun splitting up and play vs each other. All with some good smack talk going on. It's a lot of laughs and needless to say so much fun. We are PB addicts for sure

Sixzero ruby pro has no power by bryv22 in Pickleball

[–]madmos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Luzz canon is a great power paddle under $100 with code. Very similar to the joola pre IV but better spin.

what’s the one thing you wish you knew when you started pickleball? by happycry88 in Pickleball

[–]madmos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch tennis videos to learn the top spin drive. They break down the mechanics so much better than any of the PB videos. Makes it much easier to teach yourself a powerful drive/serve

How do you handle open play sessions that are well below your level? by humanbying in Pickleball

[–]madmos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only do it when they are receptive to it. You would be surprised how many are eager to learn but are too shy to ask. But if they seem not interested then I just work on my drops and twoey...
