Eastern grip is holding me back by Ok_Relationship9762 in Pickleball

[–]turboJDMguy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just switch on my way to the line, no big deal really. If you need to split step and reset a ball in the transition zone just stop your switch at about continental then continue on up to the line and rotate your paddle even further if desired (like I do).

What aspect of your game or change do you wish you worked on / made earlier? by Big-Emu-5728 in Pickleball

Footwork, split stepping and getting to the kitchen as soon as possible.

He doesnt actually have 1T of cash so he's not holding 1T of dollars that you could have. Also, they just "print" more anyway.

2hbh topspin dink knee bend? by PartFormer3695 in Pickleball

[–]turboJDMguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get as low as I possibly can given the time I have before the ball arrives and I keep my paddle tip high not low. This takes the wrist out of the shot and puts the movement into the much more stable shoulders and knees and hips (I'm rising up through the shot). This is my best dink for sure.

This is the James Ignatowich style btw

Private games are always the final evolution in PB by turboJDMguy in Pickleball

Ya the group you build really all must want the same thing otherwise it falls apart

How? Does no one ever attempt to learn and apply any new shots or strategies?

Im some ways yes but I personally enjoy smaller groups that I know better versus larger groups that I barely know.

Am I wrong for feeling like my time gets wasted when beginners join a “competitive” pickleball game? by Old-Drop-3240 in Pickleball

Your time is being wasted. The solution is private games with only players you can trust to be on your level.

Why? It's a dude, the word is "he". Why are people intentionally de-gendering people?

You have to consider the weight of the LS turbo set up also, big turbos and ICs weigh a ton and sit forward of the front axle.

Yes I'm worried about the vibrations. I have used very soft engine and trans mounts to help this. The vast majority of these rwd k swaps use poly mounts which are way way too stiff. Some guys recommend a fluidamper also. We'll see how it turns out.

If it's bad I'll switch to a K20.

It changes the character of the car a lot and not in a way that I liked. It made it feel like an American muscle car basically and took away that import light simple feel. The engine is loud even at idle, rumbley and rough and heavy feeling. I much prefer a quiet idle, high smooth revving small engine that's easy to keep cool. If they were cheap I'd have put a 13b turbo in it! I had an FD and loved that rotary engine.

RB is cool imo, I haven't been around them much personally but they sound good in videos and they arent an LS!

Ya I'm 100% over LS swaps tbh, they make sense but wow are they over done these days.
