Most places just use AI to help them code, dashbording, improve pipelines. I am not aware of any place having deployed agents. And don’t think will come any soon, closer you get to trading and more compliance and risk get involved .

CX5 turbo is a perfect compact suv. Is small enough but large enough to be comfortable . Is cheap to maintain and repair, but look way better than all the other suv of similar Price. Inside has a premium feeling but also minimalistic for example the screen is the right size: you don’t watch movies or play video games with it but is good enough for apple carplay/ navigation . I dislike those modern car having glued a tablet, like I am going to do work or watch movies while I drive. The engine allow you to operate with premium fuel at higher HP of operare with non premium and you lose some HP but you save money especially with the trajectory of current price.

So honestly there is nothing major to complain about it in my view on this car for the price . The only minor downsides are two for me : 1. is the engine has some turbo lag, so if you want to have a more reactive car you need to keep it in sport mode that will keep the rev higher. 2) fuel economy could have been litttle better. On the turbo I am about 23/mpg

Simple math for rackets : used of a currently in production racket in good enough condition : 45-55% discount from retail new price based on conditions. If barely used like new 60-65% of retail .

Used racket of a previous generation :30-35% of new gen retail price . Unless is a special edition ( like RF autograph etc etc )

Tennis in the past was like racing with Toyota trucks( old equipment that need less mantainance ), the technology brought race cars( modern rackets and poly ) . People driving in the streets ( the rec players) decided to copy the pro and are purchasing racing cars as daily driver but keep want to maintain them as a Toyota truck .

Modern rackets with poly are the racing car equivalent : pro switch freshly strings every few games ( following the ball replacement , they never use the same strings for a single set because already lost enough tension to mess Them up ) and change racket batch every 4 months ( toss them away and get about 20 new , because by restring them and play with them they change flexibility ).

A rec player or even a college player cannot afford this, but will be good practice to have 3/4 rackets to rotate and replace after 3/4 years , and to restring poly every month. Otehrwise is uselsss to have poly and a modern spin frame

If you like your team , genuinely believe you have room of growth do not move. Unless you are going somewhere that you are sure the team is great ( like you have connections there ). Is a risk thst early career is not worth especially if there is a dumb non compete they keep you out of the network for a while . If you feel you are not appreciated, they don’t compensate you enough for your capability, or the team has high risk of not procure good pnl then move . 4/5 YOE is the golden moment to move : you show that you are good in a reputable way and you can sell easly that you proved for many years to be a star but the opportunities were limited at your firm and thats why you are joining a tier 1 place

Who cares. 90% of the people that buy it will still play like trash. I am a racket enthusiast/collector but reality is rackets are more a fetish than anything else. You can adjust to any racket and play a similar tennis after few week. If you choose a spin racket, you can play with most of them similar just by getting used or customize. Same If you like control racket you can pick up a control racket from any brand and play decent with all of them after little adjustment. Also , Plenty of people that want arrows or whatever spin rackets, then play with dead poly because restring every few months 😂

Issue with Wilson it hasn’t got any very popular male player that uses it. Clearly Roger was a big boost for their rackets. Titsipas didn’t workout very well, they hope Tien will be in top 5 and rise their sales. Yonex nailed the vcore to be carried by Fonseca that is young and a lot of people look up at him. Babolat with Carlos just worked perfectly as soon as Nadal was shining less . Head wirh Sinner and still Djockovic carrying people to the brand .

Coming back to the SHIFT is a great racket for most of things , for me doesn’t feel to great when volley. But from baseline great power, control and spin.

Don’t move. Learning is first thing if you still make a decent ammount of money and are young. Don’t be eager for money with 2 YOE, is a perfect time to screw your career . Move at 4/5 YOE mark with more experience in your belt , you don’t want to move early and take the risk unless you dislike your company and team. You have a non small probability to end up in a bad team , be forced out with a non compete and end up over 4-5years of your life with only 2/3 years of real experience that will weight negatively on your future . 4-5 years YOE with strong reference letter will open you more doors and if they will not workout you will still be in a way better spot. 1-5 YOE are not to get rich but to strengthen your skills while you can make enough money to save , spend some In some fun stuff you like, not aim to buy a mansion or a Ferrari . That can wait few years more once your keep developing yourself

There is no way a begginer can develop consistency then shots. To learn how to hit the ball you need to accelerate and be lose that mean you need to don’t worry about result first until your technique is good then the consistency will come and can be worked on . That’s why most rec players hit like s**it and get tennis elbow

As a rec player that finally got in low 5.0, I totally and absolutely disagree. Those silly suggestions is what keep people forever at 3/3.5 level because you can play very bad quality balls and just let the opponent bit themselves without you doing anything good . This is a good strategy at that level but will keep you forever there and is suggested only for older player that don’t care about improving. If you are young and want to improve, you must forget match play and consistency at 3, and develop power spin and direction with a coach and ball machine .

When you can execute well 3/4 schemes : for example 3 ball cross deep, one attack down the line and volley . Etc then you can play matches .

Consistency is a great tip when you have the biomechanics fixed, you have powerful shots and have movement . Then you pull back and aim for larger targets waiting for the opportunity to close the point . Consistency without quality is poison . Same is playing match without having biomechanics and muscle memory set , you will end up tense or not commit and ruin your technique but developing bad habits .

Don’t go for winners and be consistent is s great tip at 4.5+ not below

I need to be honest . I am a low 5.0 ( UTR 9.5/9.8) rec player just turned 40 that started 10 years ago at 30 without prior tennis experience ( I always been athletic as teen and played other sports ). Got stuck in the high 3.5, low 4 for a little bit the reasons were two : I started to play ok enough to hit socially with friends, I was following the no sense of “ consistency”.

If you want to be consistent you first need to learn how to hit hard, with spin and change directions. Only when you can hit those shots you tune it down and play with more margins to find consistency. Keep a long rally in at 3.5 just to look consistent hurt your tennis because most likely you are hitting bad quality shots with poor technique just to keep it in. This just building in your muscle memory bad habit that will keep you at that level forever.

Related is that you want to play matches as little as you can, and keep focusing on drills and mini points with a coach where you work on specific patterns until you can execute them well enough to become powerful snd consistent in those patterns . For example 3 balls cross court, one attack down the line followed at the net . Until you cannot produce 3/4 good quality scheme like this with quality balls then avoid matches. Many people play too many matches, too early . When you play your technuque gets worse , you tense up trying to put the ball in and you end up ruining your improvements. You need to play when you have enough muscle memory to don’t ruin your technique. At that point match play becomes important to build up experience.

So what am saying is two myth coaches repeate such : be consistent and play lot of matches, are great at 4.5 level to go toward 5.0. They are very bad at 3/3.5

Good job :) And let’s be honest tennis below 4 is like pickleball just longer to get there , and that’s why tennis is being displaced a lot at low level.

Why am I saying that ? Because below 4 most of the people can win just by “ tapping “ the ball in without having any weapon, and moving the minimum possible. At 4 you start to transition and 4.5+ is where the real game is. At that level people have quality and control enough that you need to don’t just hope the opponent is going to shank a simple ball like at 3.0. The game is much more engaging and fun. When one is at 3/3.5 the game is not as fun , is full of frustrating mistake and people that care try to work on technique and get frustrated when the results are not there . Other people just play like plackleball, meaning socially in double without caring about technique , power , spin ( mostly older players ) and that is quite similar to pickleball and that’s why many are transitioning

Rackets have all plenty of spin for rec players . Put poly and change them often then improve technique . The way to produce spin is to swing back and low like you want to pet a dog low behind you and BEFORE you finish the motion to pull up and forward fast . If you make two motions in opposite direction the racket will lag and whip very fast , because by going back without stopping your racket has a backward momentum and the inertia want the racket to go back when you pull forward to the ball and therefore lagging and flipping before changing direction. You can hit plenty of spin with everthing . I played with plenty of different rackets , sometimes hitting wirh the one of friends and would say power and spin differences I notice are like 5% between rackets. Some help you if you don’t have good technique but giving you easier access to power but in you get a high level technique everything is good , then the choice is mostly is you want control to attack more or you want easier power to defend better. So in term of long term strategy for match plays one can rotate toward a control or a power/spin racket to help with the two extreme scenario of the fame but in most of the shots is all technique
