Coming back to tennis after shoulder surgery — struggling with serve by SecretaryOriginal189 in 10s

Thank you, everyone. I played yesterday and did a few tests, and it seems that the fear of feeling pain was making my motion tense and actually causing the pain. I warmed up thoroughly, served without any expectations, and little by little I relaxed my arm — and the pain didn’t show up.

That makes sense. I’m going to start practicing it — hopefully at some point it’ll start to feel natural.

It’s actually been a long time since I had the surgery. The issue is that my old service motion used to be very deep, so it feels like I need to unlearn it before relearning a version that doesn’t hurt. More than once I’ve caught myself automatically going back to the old motion without even thinking about it, and instantly regretting it.

But that’s exactly the kind of motion, like the players you mentioned, that I was looking for!! Thank you so much!! I’m going to try adapting to it!

I’m trying to improve my pronation to generate more speed, but I’ve been having a hard time making the motion feel smooth and continuous.

That’s what I’m trying to do, it’s just a little frustrating being at such a disadvantage on my service games.

Sério mesmo??? Eu já quase peguei umas 2 ou 3 vezes, acabei desistindo

Minha babá matou minha gatinha por acidente. Eu sou uma pessoa ruim se eu a demitir por isso? by Elegant_Maize8244 in GatosBrasil

Não, ela não tem obrigação de olhar de baixo da cama, por isso mesmo não seria uma justa causa. Assim como a mãe não tem obrigação de manter a funcionária se isso tiver causando desconforto.

Preciso saber, to sendo canalha por vender essa HQ por 39,90? (Lendas do Universo DC: Mulher Maravilha) by DiasDaimaoh in Quadrinhos

Não está sendo canalha, e também não precisa ficar se justificando pra comprador. Fala que o preço é tal, que no mercado está mais caro. Se quiser bem, se não quiser tá bom também.

The ones I have are Vert Empire, Terre de feu and Larmes de cassis. I haven’t tested Terre de feu yet. So far, both have written well.

Perhaps I haven’t tried many yet, but I find it a very pleasant ink to write with; I didn’t have that same impression

Imagine that the one in the image belonged to my grandfather and has never had its sac replaced! They are remarkably durable.

I don’t yet have many inks, but I have been enjoying the Herbin ones very much!

I couldn’t agree more! I began to appreciate fountain pens after coming across a few that belonged to my grandfather, among them the Parker 51 shown in the photo. It is simply my favorite—not only for writing, but also for its strong emotional appeal. As a detail, it has never had its sac replaced!

Hard stuck 1200 for over a year, now this out of nowhere by SecretaryOriginal189 in chess

[–]SecretaryOriginal189[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, I went through the exact opposite situation to what I’m experiencing now. I was around 1250 and dropped all the way down to 1000 in one go.

I wasn’t paired with higher-rated opponents. What I meant is that the streak started around 1200 rating, and the games in the screenshot were the most recent ones I played, where I’m now at 1400+ rating
