Is That Dwell Time?
So I think I finally understand what a pickleball paddle’s dwell time feels like after watching this Westside Pickleball YT short comparing the new Honolulu Pickleball J6CR and J6CR-H. In the review, there’s mention of the stiff face of the J6CR-H causing little dwell time and a lack of control.
While playing this past weekend, I experienced that sensation while at the kitchen hitting with a Boomstik. Quite a few times, my dinks fell short. I was trying to move the ball but each time, my shot was weak since the ball had already left the paddle face. The contact, or dwell time, was shorter than I was used to while playing with the CRBN 1X in a previous session.
Not sure how to adjust to this, but at least I’m understanding the feel and the resulting effect
