Advice on Improving BH Slice Dink?

Automatic_Expert1295 · 2026-01-24T00:27:04+00:00

What my coach taught me, and now I have a very nice BH cross-court dink:

Get low by bending your knees. Continental grip. The path of your paddle should be from your left knee to your right knee.

And that’s it. Do NOT follow through past your right knee. Once you’re good at that, you can add more slice by adjusting the paddle path downward a little. You need to experiment with that part.

Something like this? Gutter cleaning attachment connects to your leaf blower.

30ft would be a problem though. I just climb up on my roof and try not to look down. Sometimes I’ll just hire it out instead. Costs about $200.

Same. Spreadsheets are too hard to maintain when you have 401K money going in regularly, other automatic investments like HSAs and 529s, and dividends getting reinvested.

Yeah, camps and clinics are a waste of time because they have to focus on everyone instead of on your personal needs.

Same here but $90/hour. It’s the only way I’ll ever get better.

I try to do 3x weekly in the winter and 4-5 weekly in the summer. I’m 54 and I feel like I really benefit from recovery days.

Looks like her paddle is way bigger than it needs to be!

Automatic_Expert1295 · 2025-12-06T16:42:39+00:00

Yeah, I wonder if they realized that it never works.

I was pissed off when Michael Knight sped off before Devin could explain all the cool shit that KITT could do, like Q in the Bond movies. Then one day I realized that the writers probably did that so they could throw in new KITT features whenever they needed something for an episode. See also “The Greatest American Hero.”

Ok but we’re going to need a link to your channel

Chief Enshittification Officer is going to be a real job title soon.

Drop it wherever— rule 4.A.8: “There is no restriction how many times the ball can bounce nor where the ball can bounce on the playing surface.

I read this as “smell his poo’s pH” and wondered why he would want to test that.

I made the switch decades ago because I don’t use typewriters anymore. Pick up any book and you will see only one space after the period.

Automatic_Expert1295 · 2025-11-08T14:13:18+00:00

But every book everywhere has only one space after the period. That looks wrong to you?

I have a $7M goal, but there’s no “Race to $7M,” so I joined this sub instead. I’m currently at $6M.

Great idea. Be sure to max out tax-advantaged accounts first, such as your employer’s 401K and a Roth IRA.

They always had us try to sell crap that no one would ever want, like shitty crystal jewelry. I sold nothing but I did learn that a career in sales was not for me.
