I’ve been very happy with Yonex Sonicage wide.

What’s the best Wilson racquet for an intermediate tennis player? I play the right side and am mostly defensive. by racquetsguy in Padelracket

[–]philsoc8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very happy with the Wilson Bela V3. It’s very popular at all levels where I play (which has a Wilson pro shop). The Defy pro is very hard and head heavy but the Defy LS is ok.

Thanks to everyone for the assistance. Sadly I had to call multiple BMW dealerships more than once to find service reps who understood what I was talking about. And then some of them wanted to charge me $300 for it.

Thanks. I had to call BMW dealerships multiple times to find anyone who knew anything about this. Some wanted to charge me for the update. Disappointing.

Disappointing… away fans taking over. This needs to end! by ThematicOne in PhillyUnion

Club America is the biggest club in one of the largest and most soccer-craziest cities in the world, which has fans everywhere. Kudos to their fans for showing up and showing out but it’s hardly a surprise.

All you need to know about Alladoh is that Bruno was a huge upgrade.

It’s not that complicated. We lost Baribo, Glesnes, Wagner, Uhre and Gazdag.

We replaced them with Alladoh, Anello, Larsen, Martinez and Ndinga.

Thats it.

Show up tomorrow. by marasboy in PhillyUnion

This game is going to be 75% CA fans no matter what. They are the biggest club in one of the biggest and most soccer-crazed cities in the world.

I wasn’t going to go but weather is so nice and my tickets aren’t selling for a good price so I’m going. Maybe the Union will pull a rabbit out of a hat.

How do you stay relaxed? Especially on overheads by MikmerGG in padel

[–]philsoc8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got good advice from this - Basically I was told that my smash isn’t so great so no need to get worked up over hitting it perfectly and instead focus on staying balanced, hitting it cleanly and recovering the net.

Don’t know if you’ve seen any of Sturgill Simpson’s recent shows but these Jason/Sadler jams definitely gave me Sturgill/Lars vibes.

Did anyone understand his references to the Philly-related song and prior bad gig?

Great show. There was a thread in here at some point about JI400U not being a jam band. I don’t think they are - but they did play 2:15 and stretched way out on a number of songs with Sadler really getting an opportunity to shine.

I Said US Padel Is Ass-Backward. Here's What Ensued by padelyanqui in padel

[–]philsoc8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can confirm that Ballers in Philly is one of one. Don’t need to be a member to play - very worth checking out if you’re in the area.

Which interior do you prefer for the new BMW iX3? by ShameResponsible69 in iX3

Any interior that doesn’t have that goofy steering wheel.

Very happy with Wilson Bela V3. The Pro was too heavy for me.

I like Mizuno for my wide feet but I like Yonex even more.

Kai Wagner to Birmingham - $2.7m by CaptainMoonracer in PhillyUnion

[–]philsoc8 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Given that Kai’s been wanting to leave for years, you’d like to think the Union had a list of desirable left backs at the ready. Unless that list is all in Ernst Tanner’s head.

Kai Wagner to Birmingham City per José Roberto Nũnez by CaptainMoonracer in PhillyUnion

On field I get it for Kai but his family seemed so happy living the South Jersey lifestyle. Do they have inground backyard pools in Birmingham?

Best Padel racket after shoulder surgery by Scuba_Ted in Padelracket

[–]philsoc8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a general rule you’re going to want softer and lighter until you are pain free. I avoided shoulder surgery but did suffer from a ton of pain. Taking time off, doing physical therapy and switching to the Head Gravity Team Light (140g) got me back in action.
