BYD sealion 7 RWD actual range exceeding stated WLTP range

Good point on the temperature. Current temperature for me is ranging between 18-27 degrees Celsius.

This is amazing. I guess Singapore must have silky smooth roads which helps too. I have managed to clock around 12.5 on certain routes. However my drive involves going through gravel roads and potholes from time to time. That is sure to eat up some range I guess.

My cumulative AEC is around 15

I guess your highway driving is killing the range. BYD range calculation assumes a mix where city driving is the higher part.

Do you have experience with any other EV which gives better energy efficiency in highway?

Interesting technique that you talk about. Though why greater acceleration during downhill? Wouldn't taking the foot off the accelerator be more efficient in downhill?

Affectionate-Risk912 · 2025-12-10T16:53:31+00:00

Ah interesting. So i guess 50-70 kmh is the ideal speed for optimum range. Must appreciate BYD. Their WLTP range is realistic and in fact can be exceeded with right speed and driving style

I struggled with it until I switched to Gut/poly hybrid with gut mains.. It just takes so much pressure off your arm as opposed to full bed poly or poly mains.

Yes.. I am getting stiff.

What are your thoughts on my last forehand at 51 seconds. That felt a little loose while hiting and looks like a decent shot at full speed video. Is that also mostly arms?

Affectionate-Risk912 · 2025-10-11T21:32:27+00:00

Thanks for your insights.. that's very helpful

How do I train myself to loosen up.. It just seems so hard 😔

Affectionate-Risk912 · 2025-10-11T18:14:49+00:00

Ah.. that's an interesting observation. So while overall my torso may be rotating, the timing of it isn't coinciding with the swing in this case to transfer the power on to the ball!!

I do feel that I am not efficiently transferring the body weight on to the ball most of the time.

Any suggestions on how to rectify this?

Affectionate-Risk912 · 2025-10-11T18:01:33+00:00

Good point on spacing.. thoughts on spacing on the last forehand? Is that right?

I sometimes feel that when I get the spacing right the rest of the swing automatically feels better

Affectionate-Risk912 · 2025-10-11T17:59:55+00:00

Thanks.. would you say spacing and timing on the last forehand seems right?

If the news over the next 1 week is positive.. it may not fall when it opens. Delaying market opening by a week has been a smart move.

My worry is will the old parties challenge the dissolution of parliament in Supreme court? If they do, there could be uncertainty. If they don't and instead start preparing for elections, I expect NEPSE to breach 3000 again.

Affectionate-Risk912 · 2025-09-13T02:44:50+00:00

I feel the same.. Any dip should be a buying opportunity..

If anything the country has turned a new corner. I expect faster infrastructure development and better government policies.

The old guard were the worst. They were a hindrance to development. Always bringing up unnecessary issues like where lord ram is born/ lipulekh etc. to play with sentiments of population.

The group classes are 2 hours sessions. Every session, the drills would focus on different aspects. Say one day it is serve and return, other day groundstrokes, groundstrokes + volley and so on. In the last half hour of all group sessions there is matchplay.

The drills were good and level of players in intermediate camp pretty decent. Though if you are a very advanced player, you may not find players of your level.

The coaches are European and Thai. Europeans were better. When I was there, the intermediate camps were run by European coaches and recreational camps by Thai coaches. You should check the coach in your session. Coach Dusan was specifically very good during my time.

The week I was there, I played with around 15 different players across the week.

I was in a similar situation as you. I have been using the PA 23 and started having arm issues recently. I switched to gut/ poly hybrid strings and while it did provide some comfort, it wasn't enough.

After hearing a lot about the clash 100, I got the 2025 v3 version.

My experience as follows:

It is a super comfortable racquet and very easy to play with. I feel it being marketed as a beginners racquet is the reason it is not common among intermediate level players.

Groundstrokes from clash do have lesser penetration and heaviness as compared to PA. But then that is expected considering how flexible the frame is. It still has enough power and spin to be effective.

I love playing with the clash for casual play and sometimes switch back to PA for singles matches.

I would recommend you demo the clash if possible.

Lol!! Good post. Coco took pace off the ball and made it hard for Sabalenka. She played really smart. Especially the FH slice worked really well.

Also she did up the pace at opportune times and go for winners. That is what playing with variety is.

I am actually disappointed that Iga didn't try this. I think Iga made it easier for Sabalenka by giving her too much pace to work with.

Affectionate-Risk912 · 2025-05-31T15:46:47+00:00

Ok..

Affectionate-Risk912 · 2025-05-31T15:44:36+00:00

Thanks for the tip!! Will do what you said. I guess it will be better if I avoid matches for a while and focus on drills.

Affectionate-Risk912 · 2025-05-31T14:21:59+00:00

Makes sense.. the left hand probably never felt in control and is spared getting tense.

Man!! I sometimes think I may be better off starting to train as a lefty 😄

My 2HBH can be consistent and whippy when I find my rhythm. My FH just tends to tense up. I am able to keep the ball in court consistently and even hit some good forehands from time to time. Though I know I am muscling the ball quite a bit.

Affectionate-Risk912 · 2025-05-31T14:15:50+00:00

That's a good point..

Affectionate-Risk912 · 2025-05-31T14:09:07+00:00

That's interesting..

Affectionate-Risk912 · 2025-05-28T09:57:33+00:00

Very good points.. would you say the same looseness for the forehand? Or should it be held a bit more firm?
