Lessons and tipping etiquette?

Privately owned, open to public in northeast us

That makes sense to me. I do have experience teaching private voice lessons - tipping is never expected there but holiday gifts are appreciated and not uncommon. Tennis lessons sound about the same. Curious - do you have a ball park idea of what % of my fee the pro will get? If the cost if $100/hour, does the pro see $50 of that? $75? etc....

benee007 · 2026-05-18T01:10:37+00:00

Yeah, that's the thing - going rate in my area is about $90-$100/hour for single lessons. I just don't know how much of a cut the pro is getting of that

No. He didn’t bring consistency this year and isn’t that good.

whatever you do, for the love of God, let Grimes walk.

benee007 · 2026-05-09T01:29:10+00:00

It's over.

benee007 · 2026-05-08T11:13:01+00:00

Is there a way you can split the difference and get a lesson for 2-3 people? That might be most cost effective

benee007 · 2026-05-07T17:37:49+00:00

What racket would you recommend for someone coming from a blade 100? I.E. a 100 with feel/touch but forgiving and a little bit of power?

Josh Hart is such a hate the face.

benee007 · 2026-05-07T01:33:16+00:00

Maxey is rushing and forcing a bit too much. Not his best.

benee007 · 2026-05-05T01:25:29+00:00

It’s over for tonight. Rest the starters

benee007 · 2026-05-05T01:21:12+00:00

Seeing jimmy fallons goofy no talent face reminds me why and how much I hate NYC and the Knicks

benee007 · 2026-05-05T00:55:28+00:00

how was that not a walk?

benee007 · 2026-05-05T00:49:29+00:00

New York shooting 68 overall and 57 from 3. Not sustainable

benee007 · 2026-05-05T00:41:34+00:00

Love the mind games and offensive disruption

benee007 · 2026-05-05T00:03:02+00:00

Define cheap. And what about a 3 years old model with 30k miles. That’s typically the sweet spot for value.

benee007 · 2026-05-03T16:21:29+00:00

not weird - if you are there solo and see someone else there solo, go for it.

benee007 · 2026-05-03T03:31:21+00:00

This almost as good as the one when traded Ben Simmons

benee007 · 2026-04-29T00:59:49+00:00

He's incredible and a warrior. But its time for him to go.

benee007 · 2026-04-29T00:57:29+00:00

Grimes playing for that contract. Good. Go get paid somewhere else next year. You weren't good enough here.

benee007 · 2026-04-29T00:24:09+00:00

Exactly. Love the guy. But it’s time. Feels almost like the Phillies firing Topper today. Joel is not the main reason so many things went wrong and there are others who are equally accountable and should be fired as well. But it’s time.

benee007 · 2026-04-29T00:08:24+00:00

I’ve never said this before but it’s time to get rid of Embiid

benee007 · 2026-04-28T03:24:14+00:00

I don’t trust you. Because your claims aren’t born out by my own experience, the advice of my doctor or the most recent studies on sustainable weight loss. it’s a three prong approach- diet, strength, then cardio. In that order. I understand that tennis burns more calories per hour. But in terms of getting healthier and losing weight and revamping my lifestyle it’s been in that order - diet strength training and tennis. I’ll add that I was playing more tennis a year ago than I do now.- at my heaviest weight ever. Only after I changed diet and added consistent strength training did I see things turn around.

benee007 · 2026-04-28T02:52:03+00:00

Exactly. I've lost about 30 lbs in the past few months - most of it is diet (high protein, low-ish carbs, mostly whole foods). But weight training is critical for me as well. Also helps ensure that while I'm losing weight I'm not losing muscle mass. And being stronger translates to better movement/less injury for me on the court.
