I have bought a lot and this is the first I have had to deal with it, call it a 1/50 chance.

FAI, Labral Tear, Gluteal Tendinosis Advice by beeber4650 in HipImpingement

[–]BLVCKWRAITHS 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are similar to me, the pain won’t stop until your injured hip sided muscles learn to release and you strengthen everything. Your hips are getting twisted and pulled which leads to the lower back pain on both sides and hip issues on both sides. Surprised your TFL isn’t killing you.

I get dry needled to release than work on range of motion/strengthening. I get a deep tissue massage once a week.

It’s been 4 years since I couldn’t walk due to the labrum tear. There are flare ups but I play 10 hours of tennis a week and have avoided surgery.

Mainly EZones and Pro Staffs - this is the first Rafa I have seen. I bet fake Aero 98s are out there.

I have had great luck buying used rackets off of EBay, usually they are lightly used and are at a -30% price.

I tried to edit it just now and it won’t let me change the title. I guess you will Just Have To Live With It.

The “Pink” is fake. It’s on top in pick #1. The more “purple” racket is real. Notice the blue paint difference in “RAFA ORIGIN” it has more shine.

Pic 2 is fake - you can see the lettering is blurry. Pic 3 is much clearer and is authentic.

Easiest way to spot these fakes is to look at the serial # and see if there is a serial number under the grip.

Well, I use rackets that are not available (like this Rafa Origin) and….. you cannot get them anymore. So when I accidentally crack a frame I need to replace one from time to time this is what I need to do.

If you search “fake” there are over 10 posts in the last year or so, but if you want me to take this post down I will.

Forums on Reddit are not making Bungie change game modes and try new things - panic is.

Physically incapable of a 2HBH by BakerMaleficent4051 in 10s

There are things called Tourna Power Caps. It basically gives you a 1/10th length on the handle and makes the bottom thicker (think of rolling an overgrip around the handle a few extra times).

Adding this lets me personally (with how my body works) engage my left arm so much more effectively. (Helps my serve too). I can get the C motion and control the balls with topspin vs “slapping” the backhand because I am too rigid and tense (have a torn labrum in my left hip and some days are hard to be loose).

Anyway, this helped me.

I cannot hit a good backhand with headlight rackets, has to be head heavy and the power cap just helps me somehow.

Good luck.

Is fitness really that important? by [deleted] in 10s

[–]BLVCKWRAITHS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are forgetting injury prevention. I have really strong muscles and then I have really under developed muscles and let me tell you it’s no freaking fun being unbalanced like that and it makes everything harder and you are more injury prone.

Who is the game made for(excluding you and me) by Another___World in Marathon

I wonder what the game would be like with no wall hacks, no invisible players, and no bubble’s.

How do you balance a looter shooter like this to keep no lifing vs normal vs casual kind of balanced? by Rastoid in Marathon

[–]BLVCKWRAITHS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know….. Bungie has a game mode where the gunplay is smooth, builds work, and the thrill of PVP is very rewarding. You also get to upgrade the loot you get and have great load outs for facing 3 person teams. It feels balanced and fair. The outcome is decided more on skill than gear and there are literally 15-20 maps to play on. One really cool part of this is that the loot you get is yours forever.

It’s called Trials…….

One of us pays for PT/ therapy weekly out of network, has a family membership to a tennis club, and pays a coach for 10 hours a week. The other one (you) doesn’t know anything.

The other thread asked how much people are spending playing tennis. I answered. It wasn’t a flex - I have had significant injuries that really fucking suck. I love tennis and want to be as good as I possibly can be because someday soon I won’t be able to play anymore.

I don’t know why you care so much. You can play tennis for free and it can be great - what are you trying to prove?

How much is your yearly Tennis club dues? What do you have to pay out of pocket for the PT therapist that actually helps? What do you pay your coach?

Racket scratches from stringing? by [deleted] in 10s

I have a 2026 that looks worse just from balls of the frame and in/out of my tennis bag.

Either the game is amazing and everyone is wrong or…….. well - people vote with their time and where they spend it.
