UNFORCED ERRORS A PICKLEBALL PLAYERS WORST NIGHTMARES

     UNFORCED ERRORS A PICKLEBALL PLAYERS WORST NIGHTMARES (By Joe Palmere Jr. December 15, 2013)   ARE YOU ‘IN A PICKLE’ OVER YOUR PICKLEBALL GAME?  You cannot understand why after a couple years of serious court time, you have not advanced to a higher skill level.  Are you traumatized at game time with any of the following symptoms: feel intimidated by better players; embarrassed by mere thought of another poor performance; feelings of fatigue and a lack of energy; no self-confidence, high expectations to lose near every games; feel like walking of the court in mid-game; wake up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat or worst yet, quit the “fun friendly game” that you once loved.  If So, you are suffering from “unforced error syndrome.” With the ever-increasing numbers of new players in our sport, “unforced  error syndrome”  is reaching near epidemic proportions.

   HOW TO GO FROM A 3.0 TO A 4.0 IN 3 DAYS ?\ "Coach Joe"    6/2/ 2021   I was bewildered by an ad in a well known pickleball magazine by a big time coaching service that travels the country making 3.0 players into 4.0 players after finishing their 15 hour course., I cannot dispute this claim because I have not attended this workshop.

PADDLETEK IS DRIVING ME CRAZY

PADDLETEK IS DRIVING ME CRAZY, THEY JUST INTRODUCED THEIR NEW LIMITED EDITION US OPEN TEMPEST PRO, AND I WANT ONE. Most of you know that I am a "paddle nut."  After 3 years of playing pickleball most every day, and purchasing 14 different paddles, my all time favorite paddle is the Paddletek Tempest Wave, weighing 8.3 ounces with a 4.0" circumference grip.. I now own 8 of these great ball bangers.  Why do I need 8, you say?  I add weight (perfectly legal Rule 2.E.4) one tenth of an ounce at a time (2.834 grams).  . . . mainly to experiment with, and because I know how to do it.  My eccentricity when experimenting with paddle weight has lead (NPI) to the conclusion that [for me] some paddle  weights play better in  the back courts, and other paddle weights play better up at the NVZ. Some paddle weights perform better outdoors on hard synthetic surface courts with outdoor balls, other weights are ideal for the indoor wood gym floors...
