I figure I should also eat pasta for the carbs. This will help with energy the next day.

That's the spirit. keep it going.

I like to think it would help. Just to be clear I didn't use compression glove yet. Honestly at this point I'm willing to try anything to solve this problem. I mean compression sleeves work at least according to most people unless you don't think that works either. From my experience wearing...

I like quoting your comment because it's so entertaining. Keep it coming.

This is totally not backed by research but my problem is every day after a night of tennis my hand stays tire. At first I thought I'm just not stretching or I'm just getting old or I'm getting better at tennis so naturally my body would suffer or maybe all of the above. But I realized...

Usually I don't care about PB but tonight a couple used the tennis court. But the net was too high so the guy decided to push the net down until I told them to stop it. This is what's wrong with PB. Amateur who doesn't care about the tennis net and mess it up. Funny thing was there's a court...

Normally I would agree with you but that's only if you assume I play like a normal player with a 1HBH. I have straight arm FH. If my opponent can target my BH consistently then they mostly could win. But if they can't then my FH will make them play worse most of the time. Again I think it's how...

You can't just learn the slice alone. His slice is part of his style of tennis. Everything from the volley to the groundstroke to the serve is connected by the same techniques. For me, the problem is learning new techniques vs knowing when is enough is enough. Just recently I thought of new...

One thing I learn about the difference between a 1HBH vs 2HBH is the rationalization of the mistake made. 1HBH is playing the percentage. I know I will make mistakes on 1HBH but I will prob make the next one and my forehand will pick up the slack later. 2HBH is warming up. I know I will make...

There's no doubt two handers have a higher ceiling due to Djoker. The question though is is it easier to get to that ceiling than a one hander? I'm not about to do yoga to replicate Djoker's success. For me as a recreational player who switched from a two hander to a one hander, I definitely...

Prince of tennis makes it seem like one can develop a dope signature shot that can win points from anywhere on the tennis court. But in real life tennis is more boring. With enough fitness and training any pro can track down balls. There's no signature shot that can guarantee a winning point...

If they are not firing him now they will never fire ever. I don't know what the reason is but if throwing a **** salute doesn't do, nothing will.

Musk is never stepping down from Tesla. Conspiracy me thinks he intentionally tank Tesla stocks to buy the stocks on the low because he knew once he resign from Trump's administration the tesla stock will rebound. If he steps down then he can never tank the stock again for infinite money. If...

Thing is we all knew Elon is a weirdo when he made that pedo comment about that rescue diver. Yet people still buy tesla. I'm very skeptical that people will stop buying tesla once Elon resign from Trump administration or once Trump's term is over. Also Trump messed up his first term yet he...

I think AI will make people continue to believe in what they are believed in basically making the echo chamber into a bigger echo chamber where any information that is contradictory to what you know will immediately dismissed as fake even with apparent evidence which they can claimed it's fake...

Mensik is only 19 yo. He might grow even more height wise. Reminds me of Del Potro. The thing that impress me the most is how effortlessly he glides on defense for such a big body. Draper OTOH seems like he's muscling everything in like Shelton. Mensik also does the little things that show he's...

The best way to improve is to have no distraction. Easier said than done. People who have school or full time job or romantic relationship or plays instrument or other commitment will find improving very difficult. So don't be discourage if you suck. It's not your fault.

Don't be late. Slice if you have to. But if late then just lob it back with topspin.

I will just show up on days I know one or two of them won't show up. I think my presence is stressing them out which is not fun for me either. end of thread.

Naw. A different partner wants me (I'm at the net) to cover the center after he hit a floater right by the net for the opponent to kill it. There's zero chance I can defend it not to mention guy is basically blaming me for losing the point when he's the one who hit a **** poor shot in the first...

Kick serve works but it's not a real win against an inferior opponent. Does feel good putting smack talker in their place. Just got an idea to adjust my serve mechanic. If things go well I should be able to hit at least two aces per service game no matter who I play against. The ultimate goal...

Well I lost but I don't think it's my fault. Played doubles. One partner kept lobbing and slicing. The other one kept blasting and slicing. We managed to win one just because I took charge when I can. I legit just going to workout. All these excuses and rip is just weird and unnecessary. Well...

Seems like I'm the only one who is a match for me. I will just workout by myself and ditch tennis.

Right now I'm ok with the status quo which is I don't want to win all the time because my tennis friends will get drama. It's already happening. One guy straight up yell in anger but at a wall. Another guy constantly dissed me by saying I'm a waste of talent. Another guy was weird before but...

I'm feeling generous so I will give this tip. How you feed matters. In a way the normal way of feeding is essentially an underhand forehand. You know where I'm getting with this right?

Do as many inside forehand or backhand as possible. Against players with long wing span this is the only strategy that would work because these players will keep pushing you to submission unless you can find the line to get an opening. You might say that's too extreme but in recreational tennis...

If you are crazy enough like me, you can rationalize serve is just a forehand with a few slight differences. It's not that complicated either.

I too recently fixed my forehand. I learned it's important to know how to do it correctly and also how to not do it incorrectly. Now my forehand is not just good but good enough to pull off some amazing shot. In a way I'm already far above my peers.

Imagine a scenario where both of you agree to do something and then halfway the other party change mind and decide to proceed. He's sick at that time so there's a power dynamic problem as well as he's not in his best condition and may prob not in his right mind to consent. Now think clearly...

Imagine if this consent is on something else way more personal. Yeah you know where I'm getting at. Just don't.
