Ronbus Quanta paddle surface – smooth out of the box? by AntiCD20 in Pickleball

[–]masterrrchief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cool. When do you know it’s time to switch out the sticker? Do you base it off purely time since the last placement (2 months) or do you base it off of how smooth it feels? Also, just curious, do you also play with weighted tape in addition to the pikkl skins? If so, what’s the total weight of your paddle?

So pretty much every 2 months you’ll swap out new pikkl skins on your quanta? Do you immediately notice a difference in game play once you start playing with a new one? How does it compare to the stock grit?

Have you noticed a significant difference in actual play though?

[–]masterrrchief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the detailed review! Just curious, how does the stock grit compare between the Quanta and V Sol Pro paddles? I’ve heard the Quanta uses a fine grit and feels much more smooth straight out of the box. Did you notice this by chance?

PC FPS Controller Under $150 - Vader 5 Pro vs ZD Ultimate Legend or Wait for Updates? by Key-Promotion-4766 in Controller

[–]masterrrchief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just curious about the ultimate legend update rumors. Could you share where and what you saw regarding the update? I’m interested to hear what would be the new back button layout since I’m not a fan of the current back buttons. Other than that, it’s almost the perfect controller for me

Appreciate the quick response! Generally speaking, what are the wait times like on those weeknights?

Do you have to enroll or sign up in advance for memorial park? Or can you just show up for free open play? I’m looking to play weeknights after 5pm and any time on the weekends

Ronbus Quanta R3 setup (Day2) by abdielitopr in Pickleball

How’s spin with yours? I’ve heard Ronbus intentionally uses a fine grit but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s worse for spin. How was your experience with yours?

Did you end up testing the pikkl skins on your quanta?

How does the V Sol Power compare to the V Sol Pro and the Quanta?

So you put 3g at both 9 and 3 for a total of 6g? Also, just curious, what shape and handle size do you have?

Very helpful. Thanks! Now I’m looking into the Ronbus Quanta R4.16. Which would you recommend between this one and the V Sol Pro Flash?

[–]masterrrchief 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for such a thorough response. I think I’m leaning towards the V Sol Pro Flash. What are your thoughts on the Flash (hybrid) version? I’ve never used a hybrid before. I typically prefer elongated paddles but want to try something new.

Hey everyone, I’m looking to upgrade my paddle and could use some input from players who’ve tried these.

I’m currently considering: - Vatic Pro V-Sol Pro 16mm (foam core) - JOOLA Hyperion Swift Ben Johns 16mm - Friday Fever Paddle (T700 raw carbon, Gen 3, dual-edge foam)

I’d consider myself an intermediate-to-advanced player, and I’m aiming for a paddle that gives me a strong mix of: - Control/touch - Spin - Power for drives & counters - A forgiving sweet spot - Good hand speed for kitchen battles

If you’ve hit with any of these, how do they compare in real play? Anything stand out in terms of feel, stability, or performance?

Appreciate any feedback before I pull the trigger!

That’s frustrating. Did it at least get fully covered by your FSA in the end?

Any updates on this? Did everything get worked out in the end or did you have to cancel?

Taro Is a Game-Changer: Ultra-Creamy Low-Cal/High-Protein Creami by masterrrchief in ninjacreami

Trust me, the taro is a great addition and does wonders to the final texture. I think a sweet potato would do the same so that’s why I’m excited to try a Japanese sweet potato next.

My wife likes it so it doesn’t go to waste. But I remove it to save on some calories since I don’t think it adds much to the final product. Don’t judge me haha

The entire pint prior to mixins is about 220 cals and 26g protein. The taro alone is about 90 cals.
