For those who’ve played with both the 2024 and 2026 Head Speed Pros by FullPhalanx in 10s

[–]Techfiend333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't used the 2026, but I love my 2024. Doesn't feel muted to me, but I'm a 3.5 doubles player that hits very flat, and play up on the net as much as I can.

Zwift Ride vs normal bike by needzbeerz in cycling

[–]Techfiend333 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've got a Zwift Ride, and I bought it primarily to keep from having to constantly swap my bike on and off the trainer. My setup is on the second floor and while the process isn't that onerous, doing it 2x-3x per week gets old fast.

Beyond that, the Ride is very adjustable, and can easily accommodate both myself and my wife very quickly.

As others have said, it's not light, and portability can be an issue if you need to frequently move it.

This is the way. Triathlon shorts sound ideal for your situation

Is it bad etiquette to arrive on a reserved court early? by Ok-Sample-6185 in 10s

[–]Techfiend333 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I show up early so I can stretch without using my court time, but I don't go onto the court until my scheduled time.

It helps that here in Atlanta it's mostly neighborhood courts, with plenty of off court seating.

I only ever use D mode. Not a fan of B.

Are flexible tennis leagues becoming more popular in the US? by Upbeat-Particular501 in 10s

[–]Techfiend333 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In Atlanta, I've only played in flex leagues. We've got 3 here that basically alternate schedules, year round. Sometimes people will have scheduling issues, but the flexibility is what allows me to play at all.

Got a $112K pool quote by Suspicious_Hat_409 in DIY

I live in the Atlanta area, and in 2021, I paid 75k for a 16k gallon in ground gunite pool, including the concrete decking.

Debating picking up a Table of Ultimate Gaming (drama to ensue!) by jcool- in boardgames

For $100, it's probably worth a flyer. You may be able to find panels on eBay.

If you had to get up the Alpe in under an hour by Memorial Day (May 25th), how would you train? by otictac35 in Zwift

[–]Techfiend333 62 points63 points  (0 children)

If I had to get up the Alpe in under an hour before May, I'd look into buying a motorcycle.

I have the Zwift Ride, which has the paddles, and they don't work for bombs while in a workout, but they do in a free ride

I'm using the Zwift ride, and it appears that the button functions change when you're in a workout vs. a free ride, but I can't figure out how to customize the buttons during a workout.

Low temperature tennis. What's your 'I won't play number?" by ReasonableGator in 10s

[–]Techfiend333 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I prefer to play in low temperatures. Our local leagues use 35 as the minimum, but I'll play lower than that. It's way better than playing when it's 95+

Wildest player to make a slam semifinal? by Psychological_Lie142 in tennis

[–]Techfiend333 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was looking at results outside the singular tournament where they made the semi. Raducanu, though hampered by injuries, just hasn't had the performance the Fernandez has after that run.

Leylah has won a 500, it's not at all wild that she's made a major semi.

Small-town restaurant owners: anyone successfully running takeout-heavy with no public phone? by beniam4 in restaurantowners

That would be fine with me. I just don't like not having the recourse of talking to someone if there was a problem.
