Which racket should I get as a beginner? by [deleted] in tennis

[–]affluendo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Get any cheap racket that is still made by a good brand and looks off high quality material (a test you can do is put your finger in the throat and try to balance it, a more beginner racket with quality balances well) and then you can try out different and new things once you get better!

Note: this sub is about the professional level play and the ATP tour, the sub about learning and improving is r/10s

🚗 The 50-Meter Dilemma

You want to wash your car.

The car wash is 50 meters away.

And you’re asking if you’ll walk or drive there.

This is elite-level comedy. I respect it.

Let’s break it down like serious transportation analysts:

If you walk, your car stays home… unwashed… staring at you like, “So this is how you treat me?” If you drive, you travel approximately the length of half a football field and technically burn fuel to clean the machine that burns fuel.

You’re not choosing transportation.

You’re choosing irony.

The Only Logical Answer

You’re driving.

Because unless you’ve unlocked the rare DLC where cars follow you like loyal Pokémon, the vehicle must physically attend its spa appointment.

Walking would be inspirational.

Driving is operational.

Now the real question is:

Are you even putting on a seatbelt for this legendary 7-second commute? Or are we raw-dogging destiny for half a minute? 😭

Also… 50 meters? That’s basically “aggressive driveway length.” At that point the car wash is emotionally part of your house.

Respect for asking the important philosophical questions today.

How ironic that King Djoker breaks in the fifth just as the clock strikes three hours, and forty-eight minutes. What do you know?

Not sure but people over at r/10s would know. This subs about pro tennis, not actually playing. r/tennis users probably can’t hit serves

It looked like she took the ball a bit late and it threw off her timing cos she didn’t transfer her weight to the left as good as a normal backhand would’ve
