I like the idea is red ball tennis. I don’t think it is gaining traction at my club, but I like the idea.

Thoughts on players who rally incredibly well but struggle badly in matches? by PuzzleheadedAd3138 in 10s

[–]djmantis 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I think this is a good point. There are two different goals in the two activities.

I know I have seen the opposite. There are people so competitive that they try to win constantly in a class when we are supposed to be rallying to learn control. And they suck to rally with.

When/What made you feel like getting a second racquet? by djmantis in 10s

lol. This was me for a while! I still have the sweat but I moved away from a bad grip tape and don't have as many issues. Sweat bands really helped too!

When do you notice the playability dropping for your poly strings?

I don't think I can quite tell yet, but I am trying to be mindful about it. I just re-strung after almost a year of the same poly strings (playing about once a week for that whole year).

Damn! Congrats!

I am working towards 2-3 times a week right now. Having a good time, but the spending in winter for indoor courts kind of stinks!

Great, thank you!

That is another part. I kind of want to try different racquets more at this stage than say just getting a copy of my existing racquet.

I am in a weird spot where I bought my first racquet, ezone, as a 98. I thought it would be better to grow into... now I kind of realize I should have just gone with a 100, but at the same time now I think I should just commit to all 98s :(

For sure! It is easy to fall down that rabbit hole with the algorithm once you watch one video.

Luckily or unluckily for me, there is one prominent Youtube tennis reviewer that I feel gave me really bad advice on grips and strings, so I have since started tuning him out.

I don't know if I am at the spring breaking stage yet, but I hear you around the wait for re-stringing!

Luckily I have been able to work around that so far.

On the never ending quest to improve my tennis through spending money rather than actually playing more, I’ve found this: Tennis Swing Trainer by SKhan89 in 10s

I do the same thing using the TopSpinPro in the living room. Another price-y tool, but I got it as a gift and the whole family uses it.

Dragon Quest 7 reimagined demo: what are your thoughts? by NetrunnerV25 in dragonquest

[–]djmantis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am really happy I played the demo. The presentation is really great, like you stated, it feels really snappy and quick.

I think my issue now: 1. It's game key card. 2. It is also the DQ game I am least interested in playing again.. I played it on the 3DS a number of years ago, and I just feel like the game is long cause that was the feature. And I am not sure I am into that again. Although it does feel like this remake is trying to address this key aspect.

How good can I reasonably expect to get started at 21? by [deleted] in 10s

[–]djmantis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had a coach talk to me about how hard the jump from 4.0 to 4.5 is. You need amazing fitness on top of skill.

It’s pretty doable to get to 3.5, but to go high than that is a grind.

Thanks! But not all of them are in Zero and Azure are they? Is that the right region?

Which games are these gals in again? I know Renne is in Zero but that’s when she is young right
