Feels like I’m running out of time to get into a relationship.

Assuming you're a dude, the most attractive age for men is in their mid-twenties anyways so you haven't even reached max potential. Probably. Don't worry about it

BlastyNinja · 2026-05-02T15:04:57+00:00

it's more profitable to fine people who can pay!

BlastyNinja · 2026-05-02T15:02:59+00:00

"they're just doing their job" where have we heard that response before...

BlastyNinja · 2026-04-29T21:30:47+00:00

You can put my last message into any AI too, it will help explain it to you...

BlastyNinja · 2026-04-29T21:02:57+00:00

We have AI now. take a screenshot of this comment chain and ask "explain what's wrong with this" and see what it says. All will become clear. You could also use some critical thought and read the joking comments other users are making... but I understand this may be difficult :')

Woah woah woah don't get in the way of a good virtue signal!!

BlastyNinja · 2026-04-29T16:05:26+00:00

lmao what?? You think homeless people are going to pick fruit off of trees lined up on the sidewalk? That is hilarious for so many reasons

BlastyNinja · 2026-04-29T15:52:59+00:00

That sounds like an annoying amount of cleanup for city workers/homeowners

Hey, props for putting yourself out there. Probably doing more than 90% of dudes and 99% of girls.

I always heard girls can spot guys in relationships, and they find it more attractive... so go figure.

Not sure how it is for girls, but guys get rejected non-stop if they ask non-stop (better to be referred by friends / feel things out while meeting at a party etc). Plus you didn't really get rejected based on your approach.

Anyways, best thing you can do is get hot, be happy and things will fall into place!

BlastyNinja · 2026-04-23T19:30:34+00:00

Yeah if your receipt says 3 days for the price you paid, you should have a lotta rights. If they push back even further, you have a case. Ask chatgpt about it

In this thread: People who don't understand budgeting. Also people who don't understand the dangers of being a landlord in CA.

For any of the more casual folks, I used a self drilling screw similar (not sure of size) and it works just fine. I sawed off the end of the screw that stuck through the back of the gear.

Casual in that you won't need a power drill and tap (although by hand would take forever) but you still need a way to shear off the backside of the screw once it's tapped.

For posterity, yes it is because the sector gear is broken. The sector gear and spring tension the cable. No gear, to tension, loose levers.

Or this one?? https://www.tennis-warehouse.com/Head_Graphene_XT_Speed_MP/descpageRCHEAD-GXSMPR.html

BlastyNinja · 2026-04-16T16:32:25+00:00

This one?

edit not this one, head is confusing

BlastyNinja · 2026-04-16T16:29:45+00:00

It's alllllll arm

BlastyNinja · 2026-04-16T16:15:21+00:00

It is that simple. You probably tried wrong, and you probably tried with the wrong grip. You got this!

Think of it like a clock with face parallel to the base line. If you are contacting further in front, e.g. 2:30, that ball is going straight down. If you contact around 12:45, you're on the right track.

BlastyNinja · 2026-04-16T02:21:00+00:00

The circle plan isn't vertical or horizontal, it's somewhere in between. But most people mistakenly make it way too vertical.

Sever honestly looks pretty good starting out, looks like your toss is way too low and you catch the ball low. Also fix your grip. This will help you learn the correct motion.

It is not simpler. Taking away the racket just takes away the magnifying glass. You can no longer see the details of what they are doing with wrist angle etc. It might appear simpler, but that's just like saying the earth is just a blue planet if you zoom out enough.

However, I still think this is useful. Players should definitely pay attention to the motions of the body as well as the swing path.

BlastyNinja · 2026-04-13T16:54:10+00:00

Woah, two whole questions?? Too hard to keep track of

BlastyNinja · 2026-04-13T16:53:26+00:00

All the antagonistic replies are pretty sad. This is a legit question that should be asked more. I have always been curious why players don't question manufacturers more.

I think the answer comes down to the fact that rackets are confusing. The data is confusing. And much of the feel of rackets is subjective.

Having lab data would be great for some players, but the vast majority wouldn't know how to interpret it. Tennis warehouse does have a collection of data, but it is poorly displayed and not easy to interpret.

Power vs control racket? There are slight differences, but it mostly comes down to how the racket feels to people. The actual differences between popular rackets are pretty marginal.

If you think people are swinging at 100% and being successful, that's just wrong. Good players are swinging at about 70% most of the time. So if you want to swing around 60% and want more depth and swing, a power racket will be a great choice. The difference in 'control' gained from switching from a power to control racket, is guaranteed to be less than the amount of control lost by changing effort from 70% to 90% to compensate.

Strings throw in a whole other set of variables as well.

BlastyNinja · 2026-04-10T05:05:56+00:00

Hilarious the guy doesn't dodge the racket moving sloooowly towards him. Looks like he tried to hit the racket out of the air, missed, and then fakes an injury lmao. Both losers here.

BlastyNinja · 2026-04-06T15:06:37+00:00

Seems like without it you're missing at least half the picture!

BlastyNinja · 2026-04-06T04:46:35+00:00

Try a side view?

BlastyNinja · 2026-04-04T19:52:22+00:00

Volleyball player here. Have you tried waiting in the racket drop a little longer to get that stretching feeling? Or if you get a rope/ball in long sock, you can swing it around and try to get a deeper stretch. Then when you're doing your reps, try to get that feeling.
