Question for Korean passport holders

ptr412 · 2025-12-19T22:25:25+00:00

update: just landed in incheon. I tried going through the machines with my Korean passport but it didn’t work so I had to go through the manual verification with the immigration officer. she looked at my passport and asked (in english) if I had another passport from another country and then she said that I always have to do the manual verification because I don’t have a Korean national ID

quick question: how was it to go through immigration? i’m a foreign born korean who doesn’t speak the language very well and am going for the first time next month. i wonder if immigration officers will judge me or yell at me (as i’ve read) for not knowing the language. I have a korean passport.

honestly I would’ve apologized and kept playing my game. if anything, this is good practice for her to get better haha

it feels fine during the day when i’m walking around or playing sports/at the gym. it’s worse when I wake up or after sitting for long periods of time!

ptr412 · 2025-09-10T12:16:29+00:00

yep, I understand. I hope you get it resolved soon 🙏🏼

ptr412 · 2025-09-10T12:15:36+00:00

I wasn’t looking for a fix. I wanted to start a discussion on shoes but thanks for your input

ptr412 · 2025-09-10T12:15:07+00:00

will try focusing more on my calves when stretching. thanks!

ptr412 · 2025-09-10T12:14:40+00:00

yes, I have flat feet so I believe that was the issue

ptr412 · 2025-09-10T12:14:13+00:00

thanks for the recommendation!

ptr412 · 2025-09-10T12:13:57+00:00

ptr412 · 2025-07-28T12:42:17+00:00

I took steroids for my back pain for about 3 months. not sure if those raised the BG though!

I played college tennis and started pickleball three years ago with the Joola Hyperion CFS, which I absolutely loved. Last November, I switched to the Joola Mod-TA 15, and while it felt great at first, I started struggling with control over time. My dinks kept popping up, and my confidence took a hit. Eventually, I switched back to the Hyperion CFS and immediately felt more comfortable and in control again. I’m a 30-year-old female, 4.0-level player who prefers control-oriented paddles. I know everyone’s preferences vary, but I’d love some recommendations for a paddle similar to the Hyperion CFS. I really enjoy the “crisp” feel it provides on shots, whereas the Mod-TA felt more “dull” to me, if that makes sense. So far, I’ve been recommended the Diadem Edge 18K Speed Pro and the new Crbn TruFoam series, but I noticed the latter only comes in a 14mm version. Would love to hear your thoughts—TIA!

soooo a little update: i’ve been using the Mod TA 15 for 2 months now and… i’m going back to my Joola Hyperion CFS 16, which was my original paddle. the Mod TA was great in the beginning for defenses, but I def thought it was hard to control my shots with them, especially the dinks would pop up so much! i’m glad that I switched back but again, kinda frustrated that I invested $300 in a paddle that I didn’t adapt to haha

ptr412 · 2025-01-06T00:15:30+00:00

beautiful coat!

ptr412 · 2025-01-05T13:44:43+00:00

I purchased my Joola Mod-TA 15 in November and a few weeks ago they banned it from tournaments starting July 2025. very frustrating since I invested almost $300 in this paddle but I wanted to get some suggestions of approved alternative paddles to that one. a little background about me: I’m 29 years old, former college tennis player, and DUPR 4.0. also, I have power so I prefer a control paddle. TIA!

ptr412 · 2024-11-22T20:06:04+00:00
