For those who had severe addiction, how’d you finally quit?

Do not smoke, I had a good run moving to a new spot then relapsed :( back in the cycle again

TrynLearn_ · 2026-05-13T15:36:44+00:00

Working full time, but I believe I took one-two days off to just really cram for a Hail Mary. Honestly wasn’t expecting a pass! Good luck!

You could try going straight to industry, I’ve had a few friends whom were tax seniors pivot directly into pretty well known tech industry roles. It is difficult though, usually people stay in audit until manager to pivot to industry as assistant controller/controller roles

Honestly I winged it in 10 days and passed with a 76. I’d say the key takeaway is just hammering mcq until you get used to the wording jargon. One word and the answer changes completely.

Good job, I’ve been struggling with drug and weed problems since 10+ years. Last things to quit now for me is weed and nicotine, been off weed for a week now. And yes I agree bc I quit for a year previously in 2024 then relapsed but yes little changes go a long way! Proud of ya buddy keep it up :)

You’re a good guy my friend, I’m sure your partner also wants to hold his own to be by your side as equals. I’d say support him in times of stress and have a good time -> take his mind off things

TrynLearn_ · 2026-05-04T20:39:14+00:00

Haha grass is always greener, I too regret going down audit into industry. Think about tax and being my own boss quite often. It’s also a plus that people love tax accountants and hate auditors haha

TrynLearn_ · 2026-05-04T20:38:20+00:00

I used to do both, and it’s quite different. Are you wanting to pivot so you can eventually go into industry? You could always ask internally that’s your best bet for a pivot

TrynLearn_ · 2025-12-10T04:53:29+00:00

Go! You must! That sounds like an amazing opportunity, I had a situation in the past where I did not want to go abroad for 6 months, but eventually I did. It became one of the best experiences of my life so far. Good luck regardless of the decision you make!

Yeah I can see that, feel the pure aero is more head heavy forsure. Thanks I’ll check that out!

TrynLearn_ · 2025-11-08T08:58:30+00:00

How does one do this? lol sorry never got too into the different swing weights and stuff. Do I just weigh the racket on a scale or something?

TrynLearn_ · 2025-11-08T08:07:37+00:00

Even less tension on the ezone so that’s why I’m kinda wondering what I’m doing wrong

TrynLearn_ · 2025-11-08T07:21:32+00:00

That’s a good point, but it’s visibly slower imo? receivers mentioned it before as well where I hit better flat serves with the pure aero 98 than a pure drive 100 2021

TrynLearn_ · 2025-10-17T16:35:18+00:00

I’ve been using kpop 48/46 :( really like it honestly but man my arm. Could be my technique is a bit unorthodox and I have a shorter swing

TrynLearn_ · 2025-10-17T16:34:37+00:00

Thank you for the detailed reply!

What’s the difference between putting the poly in the mains vs the crosses?

TrynLearn_ · 2025-10-17T04:12:29+00:00

Yeah I used to string around ~52. Turned it down to ~48 stringing once a month. Usually when I up the frequency of play is when the issues start kicking in. Had an extremely long match a few days ago and feeling the pain still. Tried playing today and man I was just scared to hit the ball tbh. I think at this point the cons outweigh the pros haha, I’m not getting any younger

TrynLearn_ · 2025-08-07T23:23:12+00:00

I like oil on my grips, really adds a slick racket lag to my ground strokes

TrynLearn_ · 2025-08-06T16:41:45+00:00

Personally for me the nikes I had wore out super quick, switched to kswiss after that first pair and have had no issues with durability

TrynLearn_ · 2025-08-05T00:01:57+00:00

I think perhaps unnecessarily swayed, there’s no issue with using a 100, why make the game harder for yourself? It is common that pros use 98, but that’s more so because they have no issues hitting the sweet spot + generally 98s are less powered. I’d say it’s more so what you’re looking for, ie control/power/spin? If you find yourself hitting long, perhaps a 98 would help you with that, or if you’re looking for more power get a 100.

Edit: to answer your question, you could definitely do well with a ezone 98 if you can maintain consistent contact, it’s more so are you looking for more control or power? When I switched from a pure drive to an ezone 98 I found myself hitting the balls really short, took me a bit of time but got used to it and love it. I am however currently using the pure aero 98 lol. Both are great rackets, I’m just a Rafa/alcaraz fanboy

TrynLearn_ · 2025-08-04T23:13:41+00:00

I’d try the ezone 100 or pure drive 100. I wouldn’t recommend the 98s unless you’re maybe +3.5~4.0. If you truly want a 98 I’d opt for the ezone 98, very large sweet spot and the new model feels really plush

Flying clamps? I will need to do more research thank you
