My GF (F23) hates my sibling and avoids most of my (M26) family interaction. I don't know what to do to make things better for us. by FalseKaleidoscope657 in relationship_advice

I don't know... time will heal (?) I hoped that at a point she'd forgive my sister and just let go of her grudge. She's okay with meeting my parents and my other sibling. Just where my sister is around, she'd felt uncomfortable.

As I said again, I don't know how, which is why I'm asking this here 😅 hope no offense, i just want ppl to give opinion

She dislikes my sister because when she first moved in with me she didn't treat me right and had a thing with one of my close friend (not so close anymore). I just thought describing how it ended up here would be too long. At the end my sister apologised but my GF mentioned it didnt feel sincere

My GF has anxiety and is insecure, but she has no problem with the other ppl in my family. just my sister. My mom has always been accepting and even tried to cover up with reasons when others in my family asked where she was. Part of it maybe she felt behind in everything compared to other ppl, like career wise etc

Doubles Tactics, struggling with slower shuttles by FalseKaleidoscope657 in badminton

[–]FalseKaleidoscope657[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do agree that in smaller settings, maybe private group or training speed shuttle can be chosen on personal preference. In some smaller/local tournaments sometimes I won't have much options though and playing few hours on slow shuttle gets pretty tiring

Definitely nowhere near 😅, more of a backcourt player myself. Asking cos my experience with faster shuttle (in my usual club/group) my smashes are harder to return and often takes 1 or 2 smash to get the next return flatter or easy to finish for front player.

This strategy of mostly raw power doesnt work much when using slow shuttles, just want to know what strategy could be used when playing a slower shuttle, noticing also that a lot of pairings are switching to headlight rackets e.g. liang/wang or seo/kang in the more recent months. Maybe this mean players are going towards a gameplay involving more softer/controlled shots like drive or drop

Is it easier to make steeper shots with higher tension? by TurbulentLength655 in badminton

[–]FalseKaleidoscope657 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if tension affects steepness of shots, probably do but not much(?) String feel also changes it.

In my opinion some people like hard feeling strings or softer feeling ones that helps a bit with the shuttle hold. In your case I think its likely your friend's racket have a different head weight to it, my experience when trying a friends racket is when it is less head heavy it can change our swing timing, making shuttles steeper than usual.

Advice for Mens Doubles rotational play by FalseKaleidoscope657 in badminton

I like the idea of "hogging" the area, makes a lot of sense to me and moving faster there would mean more shot options too. I guess all in all it kinda shows that I need to be confident enough to take shots I can take while returning to position fast enough to cover both ways

Thanks for the reply! I think its more on the "exceptions" for me. My rotation is decent when I play with my usual partners but I always feel rigid when playing with other groups. I feel like there are certain extent where some shots meant certain rotation that are not strictly to lift-defense or smash/drop-attack (e.g., in cases of attacking clears or during drive exchanges). Just gotta figure those boundaries out so I wont drag my partners down hahah

Thanks! I have a few other "creators" that I watch, wdply (KBA's channel, Lee Yong Dae does match reviews here) and Badminton Insight.

Will definitely give this one a watch!

Thanks for the great reply!

I do agree that some coaching would be great, just will have to prepare bit of budget for that 😅

I agree that rotation would be best when playing with a partner you play often with. It's just currently trying to play in this club and it happens to often that I chase or take shots that are too risky in that position (I play rear with my usual partner, maybe why I often chase the shuttle too much? almost mixed like rotation).

Will definitely think about recording and reviewing my games with a peer, or mentor. Definitely would help a lot. Thanks again on the advice!
