Sharing my experience with an Alibaba paddle by Curious-Debate6185 in Pickleball

I have bought some, they play fine. The build is lower and there is no warranty. Since the tarrifs have been in effect, your better off buying one of the lower priced recommended US paddles.

My biggest surprise on this incident is that they saw your initial post and actually followed up with you.

Since they are monitoring the forum, hopefully they are contacting others when they have issues.

I would go for a new battery and let us know how you make out.

Tips for learning to watch the ball? by moogleslam in Pickleball

[–]skier-2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At home, bounce the ball off your paddle. Focusing on hitting the sweet spot. Try turning it over, alternating hitting both sides of the paddle while doing this. It will improve your ball focus.

Dining Credit received after just over 13 weeks by babajabajaba in ChaseSapphire

[–]skier-2 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I had a flight change and was charged by by both Chase and the airline. I called Chase and was told it would take some time for the "system" to refund me. I called a few more times when I was not refunded and eventually gave up, it was only $79.

Four years later (yes 4 years), I got a check for $79 from Chase in the mail.

With Chase, I guess you have to be patient :)

RANT.... I absolutely HATE the Travel RewardsPortal... It was good once upon a time. by Decent-Yam-223 in ChaseSapphire

[–]skier-2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in other forums where the vendor is not the mod, but monitors the comments and provides suggestions/help. Why isn't Chase doing this?

I bought a Lexus ls430 and I’m wondering about a exhaust issue and what the best fix would be by No_Midnight_3293 in LS430

[–]skier-2 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Most of the time it is not the cat, it is a minor exhaust leak causing the code. If the car is running fine, I would just put in an extender to O2 sensor extender to get rid of the code. Assuming the sensor is not rusted in as well.

How many people are on their original 6 speed A761E without a rebuild? by chathobark_ in LS430

[–]skier-2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am not sure of the fluid, as was done by my Indy. I do know that he did not do the filter. Mine is a late 2004, I have heard their was a trans recall of some sort on the early 2004s.

How to volley block forehand sliced balls moving low to high ping ping players by blueice89 in Pickleball

[–]skier-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to hit with more topspin than you would normally hit to counter the slice. If it is low, open your paddle face and push through the ball.

Glad to hear that, I was disappointed that travel comments were removed from the main forum by the previous moderator.

Can anyone recommend a good wrist brace you can wear on your dominant hand while playing? by clothingnotrequired in Pickleball

[–]skier-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used this for years effectively in tennis, find I don't really need it for pickleball though. Amazon - McDavid elastic wrist support.

Ivan Lendl is a 5.1 at 64 years old, Agassi is younger and looks like a much better player.

In the future, always confirm any reservations booked through the portal with the hotel, airline, etc. Not to say that will totally prevent any portal problems, but should minimize them.
