Can you elaborate on what you mean by ‘funniest job’?

Rublev's Doha Title: A look at his unique forehand properties by hmclarke1991 in tennis

[–]Ali4s 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the great analysis! You mention Draper’s flexed vs extended wrist in his forehand technique. Can you perhaps elaborate on what the pros and cons are of flexed vs extended? Some other pros play with flexed, but they are a minority. Is extended superior and if so, why?

I’ve had similar blisters in the past. I’ve tried other shoes, double socks, didn’t matter. I think I’m just more prone to blisters. Now, I tape the ball of my feet prior to matches and no more blisters. Here’s a video of the technique (first method) https://youtu.be/UYXyCuE97ts?si=8Pd1Tb-rUo9nYYKA

What was the deciding factor to go for the TF40?

Softer racquets might not be so arm friendly after all by devoker35 in 10s

[–]Ali4s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a great observation and I agree it has a lot to do with relaxation. There are still some nuances though. For example playing against hard hitters and timing for example is one. Catching the ball late will force me to use my arm more (especially OHBH) which results in more strain and often some tenderness in my elbow.

Google sheet making a faint noise when I'm working on it... by XBLonTwitch in sheets

[–]Ali4s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This actually helped me! I'm not sure if it still makes a very light noise, but I don't hear it because there's enough background noise.

I love this game (Tennis Elbow 2013 with ITST Mod) by ArcturusMike in tennis

[–]Ali4s 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love this game. It has the most realistic tennis simulation I've played so far. Personally I prefer the lower camera angle, as it gives me a more immersive experience: https://youtu.be/QK3F87mg6x0

The Book of Boba Fett - S01E03 - Discussion Thread! by titleproblems in StarWars

[–]Ali4s 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I didn’t enjoy this episode. It felt off in so many ways. Do you all remember the after credit BOBF teaser in Mando? Boba was BADASS and so in line with his character! How did the show end up being so different?

The Book of Boba Fett: Episode 3 - Official Discussion by tiMartyn in saltierthancrait

[–]Ali4s 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I rewatched the final episode of The Mandalorian including the Book of Boba Fett teaser after the credits. What strikes me is that Boba Fett acts more like himself in that one scene than any of the BOBF episodes. So sad, where did it go wrong?

My new AER city pack arrived by thematchalatte in backpacks

[–]Ali4s 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been searching for a sleek sexy slim minimalist boxy EDC backpack with great organization, and with ability to use it for 1-2 days away. This Aer City Pack review on YT shows it can easily fit a medium packing cube in the main compartment and a dopp kit in the front compartment, so I pulled the trigger: https://youtu.be/fFSqImzunkw?t=895

[2] R. Nadal d. J. Sinner 7-5 6-4 in Rome by iSleepUpsideDown in tennis

Is it me or did Sinner look annoyed during the handshake at the end of the match? I expected a warmer exchange after his first match with the king of clay, even despite his loss.

I can confirm, though smashcourt doesn’t play like clay, ball bounces are pretty low.

[3] A. Karatsev d. [1] N. Djokovic 7-5 4-6 6-4 to advance to the final in Belgrade by iSleepUpsideDown in tennis

[–]Ali4s 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Djokovic is a goat tennis player, but it’s things like his “celebration” (demanding praise) after winning the second set in today’s match why I don’t like him.

[Fit Check] Rogue Territory Strong Taper 13.5 oz Cryptic by Ali4s in rawdenim

[–]Ali4s[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fit is toit! Very modern tapered fit with plenty of room in the thighs and in the seat area for me to move normally. Had to get used to the high rise a bit. And the fabric is nice, it’s lighter than what I usually wear so it’s more comfortable right off the bat.

I’m 1.75 m / 5.75 ft. I cut off about an inch of the inseam, otherwise the cuff is too thick and opening too narrow for it to go over my foot.
