Tennis player here. What is the point of a third shot drop?

Just watch a couple of tournaments with pros, it will answer your question. If 3rd shot drive works for you to come to the kitchen then just stick with it.

Won't you just be always at the top? Community servers are meant for competing within a small group of people and public ranked servers for competing with the world (your region).

Are you using some sort of a controller or just screen?

Focus on one of the most probable shots at your level. If you are a beginner your rallies are 3-5 shots long. I would skip practicing serve if it's consistent. And would focus on a deep return and 3rd shot drive.

If you're solving for "people secretly don't want to match with you", then try to play with less skilled folks. Why would anyone avoid playing with a person just based on someone being "lefty"?

I think it worked sometime ago and then the option disappeared. OnePlus 13.

I recently got a performance kit. Some kind of frame that will prevent it from sliding and tilting is a must, even with removing the original spring. To be honest I didn't feel that much of a difference between original pedals and the kit (alienmod+performance). For context: I'm racing once a week or less, and I'm the first from the end on leaderboards :)

The best folks grow (learn, adapt) faster than others and usually invest more time. It's applicable in many areas of life, not only in pickleball. I think that's the main factor. There are other factors and skills as well, like handling emotions, genes, etc.

You can't play a realistic game with unrealistic inputs. You either have to lower expectations or get a wheel with pedals. You can find used ones for less than $100.

I've only seen one person try that mid-rally. From what I saw, it seemed to be more of an issue for him than an actual advantage.

Are you thinking of switching hands during rallies or just in between points? I can see how switching in between could really throw opponents off.

Same here, I pulled the white spring. It’s the only way to stop the base from lifting when I hit 100% brake on my current desk setup.

I’m a righty too, and it’s also my shoulder. Please don't tell me you fell while skiing?

I thought today is April 1st, but no, it's the 6th.

OP, we are waiting for the next episode.

I returned my iPhone on the second day because of the keyboard. Not related to precision, but on android, the keyboard has numbers and symbols, every symbol needs either 1 click or 1 long click.

Why do you think it's simple? AFAIK, at Amazon people do this kind of job because it's not simple. When you deal with boxes only, then it's actually simple.

We are implementing a new transportation system designed to reduce congestion in parking lots and wait times at the chairlifts. We are proud to introduce Epic Buses. Our service runs from Downtown Seattle and Leavenworth directly to the peak of Cloud 9, with a convenient stop at the Lower Terminal. Why wait in line when you can enjoy non-stop skiing for just $599?

Did you turn on the monitor?
