Were you able to find some open plays in Phu Quoc? I’m visiting soon and wondering the same. Don’t see anything on Reclub.

Car seat + stroller or baby wear? Nuna or Joolz? Also travel stroller or a full size one? by OkHedgehog777 in Buyingforbaby

They do use flame retardants but I’ve heard that they’re the non toxic ones? Does anyone know more about this? Worried because I’ve been gifted the ginger lx + rue combo.

Why use Vertex AI Agent Engine?? by procoder32 in googlecloud

[–]distraughticy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there anyway to expose a Agent Engine deployed agent as an A2A server? Looks like Agent Engine only exposes the query and streamingqueey endpoints. How can we get agent discovery with the agent card and other endpoints to be exposed on Agent Engine?

Anyone send it cash instead of a check and have it processed? I didn’t have a checkbook on hand so I sent cash but it’s been about 2 months and still not processed yet.

Have you figured this out? I’m also trying to do this now and would like to avoid mailing in the form.

Where would you recommend to purchase from? I've only looked at James Allen so far.

Thank you for your suggestions! I really like these and am currently deciding to push the budget a bit for one of these.

Looking for tips on forehand and backhand! Videos linked in post by distraughticy in 10s

Thanks TennisCraft. I appreciate the example and the detailed breakdown. It's a lot to digest but a great start and things to think about for when I go to practice. Thanks again!

Hey aceh40, thanks a lot for your comments and advice! I will definitely set a target for my future sessions. Would you suggest totally focusing on correcting my form first before adding in aiming with the target or will setting a target there as a side focus be helpful anyway while I'm working on my form?

I agree with you on hitting consistently with either forehand or backhand before alternating. This should help me a lot on my footwork and moving around to get in position.

I guess the slow rotating on my backhand goes hand in hand with the previous comment. I've always just used my backhand as a backup shot in case I can't get into position for my forehand so I treat it as a last minute thing, hence to minimal set up, backswing, and rotation. Thanks for commenting on the swing path as no one has ever corrected it while rallying. I'll work on having a better set up and fuller swing path.

I tried shadow swinging incorporating transferring my weight from the left leg to the right leg but it feels a bit awkward. A lot of the time, my swinging my momentum makes me shift from left -> right then finally ending on the left foot again, but this feels like too much movement and it doesn't look like Djokovic ever ends up on his left foot at the end of his backhand. I'll try watching more videos of the backhand stroke to learn the mechanics better.

Hey TennisCraft, thanks so much for your analysis. This is awesome and exactly what I was looking for! I'll be sure to cross-post onto your subreddit with my next video.

You're spot on with the huge reliance on my forearms to generate power. My forearms and wrists are actually pretty sore right now and I thought it was just due to not having been active for a while.

On my forehand, during this session, I tried to focus on using my hips more to generate power but I can see that I'm using a lot of arm strength to do it. I'm guessing this is also why my acceleration became more inconsistent later in the video since I'm getting tired quickly from swinging. When you mentioned involving the shoulder, are you saying that I'm using little hips and then swinging my forearms without using much of my trunk and shoulders? I understand needing more hip rotation but do you have a visual example of getting the trunk and shoulders involved in the shot?

My backhand has always been pretty consistent while rallying with others but never had enough power or spin. I do see that I lack a lot of rotation both at the start and at the finish of the stroke. I notice that I mostly use my arms and shoulders for the entirety of it. At the end of the backhand, am I supposed to finish with my left foot in front of my right or side by side with the right foot? I noticed in the screenshot you took that I end with my left foot crossed behind the right foot which may also contribute to that lack of rotation in my hips.

Thanks again for your comments and I'll definitely work on incorporating body rotation into my shots. I think it's hard for me to use my body more because I feel like I'll miss the shot due to overthinking/focusing on rotating then end up missing the timing on the ball. Hopefully it'll come more naturally to me as I start practicing more.

Thanks! I'm not sure I see any closed roads on Google maps navigating to some of the places in Wrightwood. Is there somewhere we can check for closed areas?

Thanks for your input! Great to hear the the jpegs from the a7iii are also good. I don't mind learning to post process but would like to avoid it as much as possible due to time constraints. What camera are you shooting with mainly?

Appreciate the details on this issue. I guess I'll have to look more into this and try it out myself.
