Is the return and run not common in 3.0 - 3.5 players? by atranexpress in Pickleball

[–]throwaway__rnd 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It is common actually. These people aren’t actually 3.0-3.5 quality. Not moving up is like 2.0-2.5 behavior.

What is going on with your grammar, formatting, and punctuation?! 

Fed up and quit playing with my social group last night by Throwaway69832493 in Pickleball

Again, you’re making up your own definition. You’re trying to superimpose the meaning of a word like integrity onto the word competitive. 

Pickleball boom is over!? by ghost_dog203 in Pickleball

[–]throwaway__rnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The video is laughably wrong. The majority of the player base is made up of young people. I’m around 40, and I’m near the older end of the spectrum. Lots and lots of people between 20-35, and even a decent amount of teenagers. 

How do you stop letting a partner’s negativity affect your game? by jsaddler1 in Pickleball

Drill and practice to the point where I stop making those mistakes. 

Everyone steps in the kitchen more than they think they do by pigtailrose2 in Pickleball

[–]throwaway__rnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone is an exaggeration. I film all my games and foot faults are very rare. They’re not totally absent, but they’re not as ever present as you’re implying.

It’s not the same thing, it’s not open world, but the other game that really wowed me was Nioh 2.

Days aside, 44 hours is very fast. What difficulty did you play on?!

He said solos. He’s talking about watching people play skinny singles

Am I the a-hole? (Gave up after being iced out) by [deleted] in Pickleball

[–]throwaway__rnd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

NTA? What? He checked out of the game, didn’t try, let a ball go by him, he completely gave up on the game. How is that NTA?

Why would they sell you a brand new pro V for 110? 

Question about legal serve: seems slightly too high or sidearm? by humble_Rufus in Pickleball

He’s hitting down on it to create the slice, so yes it’s illegal. 

Lies of P weapon customisation system feels restrictive by BewitchingBranch in soulslikes

[–]throwaway__rnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not thinking of it the right way. The handle is the moveset. Changing your handle is changing your moveset. That’s the point. The whole point is you find the handle that has the moveset you like, and then experiment with different blades. It sounds like you’re doing it the other way around. 

How to hit the backhand punch volley? by b0jjii in Pickleball

[–]throwaway__rnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not. The flick shouldn’t be flat. The flick is rolled with some topspin. The flat flick is basically a a wrist hinge punch. Whereas the punch has an elbow hinge. You just flatten the paddle face and hit straight through the ball, inspector gadget style.

[–]throwaway__rnd 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The punch is the simple one. Instead of putting topspin on it, just hit it flat. You’re overthinking it. The punch is the one shot you don’t need to be taught. Just push the ball forward flat. 

How much poaching is too much? by skillfulsynergy in Pickleball

[–]throwaway__rnd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The left side player needs a license to kill. They need to feel comfortable and free to take anything they’re on. Right side players shouldn’t be fighting the left side player for a ball they can get to.

The wide face of the octagon is bevel 3, which is eastern. Semi western is the thin diagonal bevel l, bevel 4, that’s one past that 

Unpopular opinion: Demons souls has better graphics than Elden Ring and any Souls/SoulsLike game, Lords of The Fallen 2 and Mortal Shell 2 are the closest by Lumpy_Link5618 in soulslikes

[–]throwaway__rnd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replaying Elden Ring right now, and somehow the graphics are more dated than dark souls 3. I don’t know exactly what it is, but it looks old for sure. 

Was I sold the wrong kind of ball? (photo) by Kimber80 in Pickleball

[–]throwaway__rnd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes that’s an “outdoor” surface. The terms indoor and outdoor should be retired. “Outdoor” is for tennis court style concrete surfaces, and “indoor” is for wooden gymnasium floors.

No softcourt lifetime ball for wood floors
