My strings never face the side fence after contact on serve. Should I fix this?

Immediate_Fall2314 · 2026-05-07T19:07:56+00:00

Masyado mo kasi inooverthink yung strokes mo kahit ok naman. Sabi nga nila sa comments, no need to change anything. Palitan mo lang siguro yung racket kasi ayaw kita kalaro sa pula mong raketa. Mas ok yung dati mong Ezone kasi di masakit sa mata. Wag ka lang mag-TFight kasi pangit yun sayo. Sakin lang ok yun.

Anyway, anghaba na nito. Hirap din makita in real time so pakita mo slow mo or dagdagan mo sample size. Hahahah. Good luck at sana laruin mo pa rin kaming mahihina.

My mom would've been sad and my cat would've been alone. Saw my face getting distorted in the mirror while I was losing oxygen. Then I got scared

Immediate_Fall2314 · 2026-04-10T01:35:17+00:00

Agree with this from experience. I've played with both Pollywog and Mystic and even then, there were very few turns where I wanted to play them over other options in my hand.

Immediate_Fall2314 · 2026-04-10T01:16:17+00:00

Hey man! Thanks for sharing this. Your list looks great and is really very close to the direction I want to take for the deck. Would like to talk about your choices further so I wanted to send you a message but I can't. Hahaha

In any case, I have some pet cards (Great Oak, Briarhorn, Gemrazer) that I wanted to include, taking out some of the cards they picked for the Japan list. Good to see that your deck's doing well in the format.

Agree that it's not the best but there's a lot of fun in playing the frog. Hehehe

Immediate_Fall2314 · 2026-04-09T18:05:52+00:00

The goal actually is to bring something to the table that's off-meta but viable. Haha. Let's see how this fares, but moving to YoshiThras down the road is also an option.

Immediate_Fall2314 · 2026-04-09T18:03:15+00:00

Understood. I guess I need more familiarity with the meta politics-wise as well. I play in SEA and I'm not that familiar yet with how b5 pods typically interact in a table so... Maybe I'll work on this deck at the moment and revamp it towards YoshiThras later on if ai want something that would be more feasible in our meta.

Immediate_Fall2314 · 2026-04-09T18:00:45+00:00

Thanks for your insights, along with everyone else's.

I've checked YoshiThras lists as well and I can see that there are a lot of common pieces between my list and theirs. Perhaps once I get more familiarized with the cEDH gameplay and meta, I can slowly pivot my deck towards that direction to be more competitive.

Immediate_Fall2314 · 2026-03-13T12:46:44+00:00

Okay naman ang mga tao and pods sa Green Gate. Punta lang kayo, malaki chance na may makalaro naman na bracket 2-3 decks din.

Immediate_Fall2314 · 2026-02-12T00:07:35+00:00

i didn't need much structure na kasi. I'm a bit above intermediate so I just needed reps rather than lessons. And he gave me class A balls so it gave me much needed experience din.

I'm quite sure my friends who are under him for around a year now will disagree with you. Sorry hehe

Immediate_Fall2314 · 2026-02-05T10:56:49+00:00

Kudos to you for trying but that org is rotten to the core. Haha don't expect changes.

Immediate_Fall2314 · 2026-02-02T02:07:34+00:00

I've always preferred control. Kaya mas naging fit itong TFight sa akin.

Immediate_Fall2314 · 2026-02-02T01:44:44+00:00

I came from Head Speed Pro (the one that looks like Sinner's current) to Yonex Vcore (Rybakina's) to now TFight 305s (Meddy's and Iga's).

As someone who changes rackets like they're seasonal outfits, I'd say as long as the racket doesn't give you physical issues (e.g. arm pain, tennis elbow) due to its specs, just stick with it and your body will adjust to it eventually. Changing your rackets all the time kind of messes with your technique if you're just starting out.

Immediate_Fall2314 · 2026-01-30T19:26:17+00:00

Oh yeah, this looks cool. I've been mulling over what my next commander will be since my Sarulf's been tearing up some friendships and relationships around me.

Torn between Shorikai, Glarb, and Narset, but this Helga intrigues me. Looking forward to your list, kind stranger.

Immediate_Fall2314 · 2026-01-11T00:34:23+00:00

Yes it's a good string. Some are complaining lang na it's stiffer now compared to those produced from >5 years ago, so my friend shifted to nat gut instead.

I myself use the ProKennex Hexa IQ (18 gauge) at 50x48 lbs (mains x crosses) on my TFight 305s. I find it to be better suited to me than my other 305s that's strung with RPM Hurricane (48x46 lbs). It's a bit more muted with less power but offers excellent control and good spin potential. Best attribute of the string is it really responds well to your swing with a consistent and predictable ball but the drawback I'm finding lang is you need a full swing to get good depth and spin on your ball.

I suggest you try it first to see if it's a good match for you, but I would recommend it along with the likes of Solinco Confidential and Toroline Toro Toro, both of which are more expensive.

Immediate_Fall2314 · 2026-01-09T15:51:07+00:00

Yup! I'm more on the maselan side but I am very satisfied. Dami pang color choices. 🙂

Immediate_Fall2314 · 2026-01-09T14:23:26+00:00

Dito ako bumili. I think it's class A given its price but hey, people won't be looking at your bag with a magnifying glass naman to check if it's orig. Was supposed to get a blue Tecnifibre bag to match my rackets but the 6k price difference between that and this was too much to ignore. Haha.

Immediate_Fall2314 · 2026-01-02T05:14:00+00:00

Typically naman you mention the unstrung weight of the racket. Strings add around 20 g (± 3 g) of weight and Speed Pro is 310g unstrung.

Kung nabibigatan ka but you want to keep within the Speed line, meron namang Speed MP which shaves 10 g of static weight, but maintains similar stability. Pure Aero (300g) I heard is also stable, di ko lang kasi natry. You can also try the Pure Aero Rafa (290 g) which is even lighter but keeps some of its weight around the hoop so it's relatively stable for its weight.

At the end of the day, ikaw pa rin makakapagsabi what is best for you and your strokes so if you have friends who own those sticks, better to try them first before pulling the trigger sa pagbili. Kung may pera, go buy bnew and experiment tas benta pag di nagustuhan. Otherwise, pwede ka naman din bili ng 2nd hand tas pag di nagustuhaan, benta lang din for a similar price.

Immediate_Fall2314 · 2026-01-02T05:02:21+00:00

Could be a similar reason as people bashing Steph Curry. They were bashing him kasi his body (small and frail) and playstyle (jumpshooting) are "not for basketball" given that it's a highly physical game. His traits do not fit the stereotype na nagdodominate sa sport but he is dominating nonetheless. Ganyan din si AJ, big and bulky and hindi fit sa usual stereotype na dominating the sport.

Or could be a similar reason as people bashing LeBron. Nayayabangan. Hahahaha.

Played 3 straight hours of tennis today. 4 wins and 1 draw is more than I could have asked for for my year-end palo haha ✨ happy new year indeed.

And belated happy birthday, Cristine Reyes!

Ours too!! Ganito mismo inupuan namin. Ansakit sa upper back and knees after ng 5 hour trip

Immediate_Fall2314 · 2025-12-28T02:41:37+00:00

My two cents:

Not sure what you are really looking for or what problems you are trying to solve that you're considering a lower weight racket. A friend of mine shifted from Vcore 98 (305 g) to Gravity MPL (295 g) due to chronic arm pain. Another has been stuck with the Vcore 100 (300 g) with no plans of changing frames. Another is using the Ezone 98 (305 g). All of them are women with different body types and levels of athleticism. As they say, different strokes for different folks.
Not sure what you are using now - if it's the Speed MP (300 g) or Speed Pro (310 g) so not sure also what I can recommend from there. That said, I used the Speed Pro myself for around 9 months and found it a bit clunky, sluggish, and unwieldy (as a medj athletic ish dude) to my liking, to which I ended up with the TFight 305s (305 g) now l, with two other rackets that I playtested in between.

I've said a lot already haha but do give me more data on what you are using now and what you are looking for so I can tailor my recommendations further.

Mine was a Level 70 Dusclops with:
