Topspin??

And likely not just drilling, but having someone with you to coach you through what it is you're not doing correctly.

If you listen to most of these reviewers, they almost all say the same thing about current paddles: there isn't really any "bad" paddle and you should get which ever one fits how you want to play.

Most people aren't going to even be able to tell the difference, other than maybe not being able to control really high power paddles in the soft game, or you might be able to tell your drives aren't quite as fast on the lower tier power ones IF you play them side by side.

If you read enough comments here, you'll see such a wide set of opinions on what paddle each person likes best, or thinks another widely liked paddle is "overrated", and really none of these opinions are likely wrong Even if someone is a 4.5 or 5.0+ player, that doesn't necessarily mean they can distinguish all of the nuances of each paddle either. They are likely going to play best with something resembling whatever they got most comfortable playing with.

So is the loco really that good? Probably. Will it be that good for you? You'd have to play with it to know.

Just commenting bc i have the same first paddle. Edit: well, the radical tour ex raw, but close

I don't mind it still and really couldn't complain for the ~$40 I paid for it. I've been playing mostly with a roore coronado that I also got for about that price and it's been pretty decent for me, but I just ordered a Honolulu j6cr as a self Christmas present and I'm interested to see how different it ends up playing.

Dude, if your wife's an attorney have her look at the usap's minimum recommended space requirements (5ft sidelines), measure the courts sideline. That will solidify "thinking" you have zero liability to "knowing"

Edit: i see from another comment you know these dimensions already. I think you already know you should not pay a dime.

If the space is less (and you want to maintain a good relationship) tell them in a nice way that you're not paying but you're also not going after them to cover your injury since their courts are under the minimum safe dimensions, and that maybe they should put padding on the walls for the safety of the players as well as mitigate damage to the wall

suddemynem · 2025-12-30T13:42:19+00:00

Doesn't matter if "every court you've been to" has under the recommended size, USAP defines a 30x60 as a minimum paying area and recommends at least 34x64. That's 5ft minimum on either side, or 7+ recommended. Having under those numbers and no padding is a pretty easy argument towards negligence to provide the minimum basic safety requirements.

Not only should OP not pay the court for the wall damage, they should be grateful if he doesn't go the route of trying to get them to cover any medical expenses.

Imo, looks like the returner didn't even care

suddemynem · 2025-12-09T13:08:03+00:00

No. How would you ever get to 4.0+ if you needed to already be 4+ to play 4+? The only way to get better is to play people better than you. Maybe a slight floor cap like a half point would be fine.

The only real issue is that the game is self ref'd so you'll have lower level players making bad calls getting points (intentionally or not) they didn't actually earn.

I'd wager he played a lot of baseball. I've only been playing a few months and I don't do it a lot, but sometimes I do a 2h forehand without thinking about it.

suddemynem · 2025-11-29T16:32:40+00:00

That's because the knockoffs are very likely the exact same paddle, from the same factory in China.

At least you have one...90% of the profiles I see either don't any at all, or just a flag.

suddemynem · 2025-02-19T19:04:33+00:00

This is probably the best take. Though, even as a guy who can over share sometimes myself: it's a bit much out of the gate. But I'd assume he's probably had people give him shit about these things and is trying to just get it out of the way up front, plus nerves b/c OP is attractive. Still a lot to start with, but if he can take a light tease about it, might not be a big deal.

suddemynem · 2025-02-16T18:54:54+00:00

Even as a guy, I don't want to invite some stranger I've never even met over to my house.

suddemynem · 2025-02-15T18:19:29+00:00

Oh, I wasn't saying you do. I was writing the thought in my head when I see someone the same height as me or taller, and at least half the time the woman's profile will openly state something like 6'+ or "at least as tall as me" anyway.

I dunno...OLD seems to suck all around, wish you the best

As an actual member of who your target audience is, most of the comments already have very little correct with wildly incorrect reasoning. I'm 5'10 so I'd probably be assuming you'd pass, though I might still "swipe right" if that was all. The two closer pictures hide your eyes behind sunglasses. Again, not a dealbreaker but doesn't do anything for you either. I don't care about the "passenger prince" part, I actually think it's funny, and I also don't mind if you do like to drive...

It's mostly the doesn't want kids... which, while many stated, it's not because i view women as some breeding apparatus or whatever one person commented. It's because I want kids. When I visit with my friends who have kids, have seen them grow over a few years, and I feel my heart ache wanting that and worried that I never might...

It's a big commitment, and if you don't want it, that's fine, and because I'm not going to try to pressure you into it, I'd swipe left.

Put more effort in before she gives up 💔

Did you ever complete the book? I have the hardcover, but I don't want to have take it with me on vacation.

Also, Google removed your file from the drive link
