It’s YOU, Not Your Paddle
So in my experimentation with my pickleball paddle rotation, I realized something after a rough session going from my Enhance Turbo MPP to my weighted up Loco. Things just didn’t feel right playing with the Loco.
I had used the Turbo MPP days before, but since it wasn’t available, I grabbed my Loco in a recent session. My swings just felt odd as if the paddle were hinging where the PickleClips were. I removed the weights, and the Loco felt more balanced but still off. After that game, I switched to the Boomstik which surprisingly felt more comfortable.
The thing is I had been playing with these paddles the week prior and never had such detrimental results. So what was the difference?
ME, not the paddles. Somewhere between then and now, my body mechanics weren’t the same. Maybe it’s fatigue, maybe it’s old age, but certainly, it’s me, not the paddles.
