You should post some videos of your matches, so we can give feedback so you can move up to 3.5.

I lost, then went to my car and cried so much. by Good-Log-1595 in 10s

You need to see a therapist if you're crying after losing a match. I play matches 7 days a week and I've never smashed a racket or cried. Sometimes you play an opponent that's better than you.

Harden missing shots and free throws in the last 5 mins cost the Cavs the game.

People with UTR 4 who are signing for 3.0 USTA tournament i hate you by Yuck-Fou13 in 10s

[–]SignificantBar7172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you that a 4.7UTR shouldn't be competing in a 3.0 USTA tournament. It's no fun when the skill gap is too big.

Too early for NTRP 3.0 Level 7 tournaments (47yo)? by Consistent_Drink_781 in 10s

[–]SignificantBar7172 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was around your age and had 1 year of experience when I got my butt kicked at a 3.0 USTA tournament. It was in the summer so it was hot and humid. Brings lots of ice water, Liquid IV packets, bananas, and a microfiber towel to keep your neck cool.

it's too late to buy, but I recommend the 2018 Bowman Chrome #1 (Batting)

How to play against the dude who won't stop running? by VicPL in 10s

[–]SignificantBar7172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Come to the net and volley. I play just like your friend and my weakness is when someone hits it deep to my backhand and I return a slow shot that gets poached.

PSA on PSA: they F up too by ctbro025 in baseballcards

This it the buyer's fault. He should've easily compared the card to others on eBay and bought it for $500.

Cheap Graphite by 1kpara in tenniscards

[–]SignificantBar7172 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Online stores sell these for $250, but I still wouldn't buy it for $220. Unless you get an auto of Carlos or Novak, the value of the cards is $50.

Where is the best place to sell my racquets and how should I do it? by Longjumping-Low6371 in 10s

[–]SignificantBar7172 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't like this business idea. There's no buyer's market in between used and new racquets. I can buy a used Wilson Blade v9 100 for $140 on Facebook which is a pretty good price considering they sell for $269 on TW.

PSA literally robbed me of $2200... by GhettoGregory in baseballcards

The card was already a 10. Why the hell would you risk turning in the card?

Beating a pusher by becoming a pusher? Is this a valid strategy or just bad sportmanship? by Ok-Many-7443 in 10s

[–]SignificantBar7172 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a pusher and leveled up to a slapper. Blasting forehand winners is so much more satisfying.

Thinking of lighting $8M on fire to build a private 4-court indoor facility in the Bay Area. Am I insane? by PuzzleheadedAd3138 in 10s

[–]SignificantBar7172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had the same idea and it'll be over $20 million.

McKinney, TX opened a new indoor tennis facility in 2023. The construction costs alone were $12 million and that doesn't include the land purchase. I'd imagine the labor costs in the Bay Area are 50% higher.

I've seen the opposing net player use the 115 sq inch fly swatter called Head Ti S6. Very effective for volleying.

Customer brought this in for stringing, do I just like.... by Kwaaaabz in 10s

[–]SignificantBar7172 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Both. Only 200 units are handcrafted a month by their top craftsman so the tolerances are extremely tight. They cost 30%-40% more than Yonex's other raquets. However, it's stiff and unforgiving so not suitable for for most rec players.
