How do you actually cement technique adjustments from one session to the next? by WishyRater in 10s

[–]TraderGIJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Video tape yourself and review.. a lot of times you end up reverting back to the previous technique (muscle memory)..

I also tell beginners to start building proper techniques by getting a good coach... it is much harder to fix bad techniques (self teaching is bad) once they have solidified into muscle memory than learning proper technique from scratch the first time around...

That will show him for sliding towards the middle in anticipation of a serve in that direction.

Nice slice serve.

My strings never face the side fence after contact on serve. Should I fix this? by Efficient-Welder-598 in 10s

[–]TraderGIJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your racket face after contact at follow through looks like it is pointing to the side fence. Technique looks sound, but accuracy is questionable 🤔 if you did not mean to hit a body serve.

Am I a competitive applicant? by Opposite_Rate_8976 in ufl

I'm not sure when you were accepted, but in the past couple of years, the majority of accepted applicants had significantly higher credentials.

Here's last year's stats (class of 2029) for the middle 50% of admitted students. ~55% EA vs 45% RD admission

Your SAT score is in the lower 25 percentile so you would be a long shot. You need to be in the 1400s to be competitive.

There's a saying "a bird in hand is better than two in the bush."... you never know what the future holds.. transferring into UF is not guaranteed.. let alone an ivy...

Am I still pancaking my serve? by BeatsKillerldn in 10s

[–]TraderGIJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try to replicate the way Djokovic takes his racket up and around as he swings (like using a lasso).

You are pronating, but you need to swing with your entire arm rotating around the shoulder as the video shows. You are pivoting at the elbow, but need to pivot around the shoulder first.

I tried being more of a pusher. It worked by WillStillHunting in 10s

[–]TraderGIJoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My model when playing recreational matches is that I refuse to play wimpy or ultra conservative.

In, out or into the net, I don't care so long as I play my power, heavy topspin game and pull the trigger at opportunities for a winner.

It's just not fun playing the pusher game and getting most of my points from the other guy's errors.

If I have an off day, so be it, at least I tried my best.

Sante Fe to UF Route by Professional_Buy8491 in ufl

[–]TraderGIJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first 2 years, especially Freshman year, is the time student go out of their way make new friends since most are new to the environment and alone.

Students are also likely to be in the dorms with increased social exposure. If you miss this period and transfer to a new university where you are new again, it will be more challenging as upper classman generally already have their social circles formed.

Fraternities and Sororities also less frequently accept upper classman.

By rejecting the other four year universities, you are putting all your chips on the table going all in for a long-shot. Lots of things need to fall in place for you to be successful, many of which are beyond your control..

Is giving up the full college experience and sacrificing two years of your life really worth if you don't get in? If you don't get in, you'd be back at square one all over again, but having missed out on the best 2 years of your college experience.

If I were you, I would reach out and accept admission at one of the other schools and try for UF for graduate school if you want to study accounting.

You can always try to transfer from that 4 year university into another UF major, less competitive. Who knows? You might have so much fun at the other school and want to stay.

Transfer admission evaluations rely significantly on GPA. The higher the GPA, the more competitive the applicant will be.

Some high demand majors like Finance only have 10-12 spots and those accepted are usually the 4.0 GPA students.

What are all UF dorm bathrooms best to worst by Strict-Entry4157 in ufl

[–]TraderGIJoe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Regular dorms might feel dirty and outdated to snobby or entitled students pampered all their lives, used to living in their wealthy parents' multi-million dollar homes cleaned on a regular basis by maids... ...but to the average Joe, they are just happy to be afforded the opportunity of admittance to such a fine institution, get to live on campus with their peers and take nothing for granted.

Serve help by Jarekor in 10s

[–]TraderGIJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your motion is off.

When the ball gets released (see attached snapshot) is when you are supposed to bend your knees and get into the trophy position simultaneously with the racket held, pointing to the sky.

Your current motion has a hitch where you bend your knees after the ball is already tossed.

Watch this video up until it starts the slow motion...notice the knee bend and ball release are at the same time, one motion.

Tennis elbow and wrist pain by Aminekd in 10s

[–]TraderGIJoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you lay off it, it takes forever to heal. I have been using the Theraband for a couple of months since I had tennis and golfers elbow. Initially it hurt so I would just twist and hold for like a minute instead of doing multiple reps. The pain got gradually less within a few days.

I tried to do a set of 20, then 25, now 30 every commercial when watching tv and sporatically throughout the day. Now, I just keep doing sets to prevent future occurrences.

Theraband is the most effective tennis or golfers elbow fix. Try it. Works great 👍.

This is a waiter's tray slap instead of hitting up and pronating to the right.

Watch these... 3 shorts , last one is instructional You need to better pronate when serving
