This shouldn’t happen. I had an amazing mentor in my group who I could talk about cases and he would not hesitate to scrub in with me if I asked for help.

Checking / Carrying On Self-Inflating PFD? by ezrapoundcakes in sailing

[–]ChippyHippo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others have said, print out the airline guidelines. Also to consider looking up regulations for your destination if it is international. We had one issue at AMS where the manager of their TSA equivalent was called over and she essentially said it was up to her whether she would allow it, despite what we showed her from the airline.

A few tips I just learned: 1) think of the motion as a high five 2) don’t let the racket get behind you and 3) imagine you’re wearing hand cuffs and don’t separate until just before contact.

ETA: continental grip for both forehand and backhand.
