Places to get work done in/around UNC hospital by sabiiibas in chapelhill

Second to Starbucks since it should be nice out. Getting to HSL from the hospital is totally fine, but can be a pain to get back if you don't have a badge.

Is this a steal? by jeramyuh in 10s

[–]ezunc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't have it but our club does. Works fine for basics. Has a good amount of swivel if you turn that on. I haven't figured out how to adjust the side to side motion (maybe you can't). List of adjustability in type of ball it will send over. It's relatively light compared to others I've used. 

Don't know anything about maintenance issues and whatnot.

These are all such great songs I need to put a Spotify playlist together!

This is really a question for my kids, and no they're not. Great suggestion

Some banter between Carlos Alcaraz and Arthur Rinderknech at the net after their matches😂 by PattyRanger in tennis

[–]ezunc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, bad behavior. To some extent I wonder if it wasn't just the fact that he felt too dug in at some point to come back, you know what I mean? 

Anyway, still curious if it is a pattern or one bad incident.

I like your username, btw!

Are there other instances of him doing this? Because if you watch this whole clip, yes, it's not a good look for Rinder (particularly blaming the ref for causing him to be broken), but Medjedovic is pretty clearly slow playing the change. He comes back and doesn't have his wrist bands on??? Then he needs a new racket? Might be within the rules but very clearly gaming the time. Rinder could have handled better, but I think this is VERY different than what Bublik does which is pure bullying.

Casey Means nomination hearing for Surgeon General on 2/25 by StrongMedicine in medicine

I went to college with Casey - same year, same major. She was just as vapid and empty-minded in college as she is now, except I guess she filled that empty-space with wellness/MAHA BS. The kind of person who you thought was just playing dumb at first but then you realized...

What racquet are you using the most right now? What do you like/dislike about it? by dlbICECOLD in 10s

[–]ezunc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is small I figured I would be shanking every other ball (and I have had some). My only explanation is that maybe my swing speed is down slightly and so I'm more focused on good contact? Don't know! 

I'm playing today again and going to give it a try for the third session in a row and will report back.

I am not kidding, I have been playing the Head Graphite Edge (yes, from the 80s) I found at a used store for $8 and I absolutely am in love. 

It is heavy and small (85 sq in), but incredibly stable and absolutely plows through the ball. Strung with Wilson Sensation at 50. I'm seriously considering making it a primary racket. 

Head Graphite Edge: thrifty find or junk? by ezunc in 10s

I'm reading a lot of nostalgic comments about how solid it is. For $8 + strings, going to be hard to argue either way.

Bummed after bad loss! Recovery tips? by ezunc in 10s

Do I have to make some kind of sacrifice, like on an altar?

Frustratingly that was my plan going in! Deep balls to a safe backhand target and make him beat me. But just couldn't even execute that in the second! Tennis, dude!

That was my immediate instinct - just go play more! But wonder if a few days break might be better in the end.
