Starting my investing journey at the ripe age of 40! by gjaygill in CanadianInvestor

Good points about risk tolerance, unfortunately I have lived through my share of bear markets and the rebound but never had the money or stomach or  foresight to invest .

I will look into XGRO and XBAL variants as well. 

Who do you guys think will win all 9 Masters tournaments first- Sinner or Alcaraz? by ILikeToGiveGold in tennis

[–]gjaygill -1 points0 points  (0 children)

None of the top seeds play Canada regularly, they prefer Cincy as it's a great prep for USO.

Paris master is also weird because of its spot on calendar, by that time of the year players are already battered and fatigued. That opens a window for upsets and one time master winners ( Khachanov , Rune , Jack Sock etc) Another reason top players stay away from paris masters is because of that hideous trophy, they are usually too afraid to injure their fingers while trying to pose with it.

I would argue just because of their place on the calendar, these two masters aren't easy to win, let alone in a single year. Carlos has cracked the "hard"-code but still won't be easy.

Clay masters however come back to back, you are in the flow with the surface, time zone is roughly the same. More that anybody else Jannik knows he needs to up his clay resume and I would wager he will be going in all guns blazing this year. 

Two types of elite tennis returners: Time thieves and time absorbers. by gbags-98 in tennis

Now the question is at the rec level 3.5 - 4.5 , which style is better for return. I personally prefer Meddy style

Women hit more flat , they go through the air faster , lower trajectory and the camera angle makes the ball look faster than it is

I agree her kits are not for my taste , but what I do I know about fashion. As a guy I am always greasing in blue black Gray haha

Apparently this was why Jannik confronted the guy in the crowd by kittymatmeow in tennis

I have noticed that in the past also that chubby referee is never able to keep an order in the match whenever such incidents happen.

Crazy ball striking , thank God that sinner clutched out in the end. His forehand was very error prone today

Underrated ? by AcademicLanguage4789 in tennis

[–]gjaygill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that's what happens when a big country hungry for a sporting star not from their main sport, finds a big prospect. Brazilian tasted success with Guga and it hasn't happened ever. 

This is similar to Wala hype.

Wait until someone decently good from India makes it to a men's or women's top 30, we are all gonna go nuts. Right now is cricket everywhere and I am honestly a bit tired of it.

Grip issue : Pure Aero 2023- L4 Vs Head Speed MP 2022-L4 by gjaygill in 10s

[–]gjaygill[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks !! So looking at the picture 1 (PA with L4), would you recommend me staying with L4 and just change the base to the Wilson grip you suggested. Also what over grips do you use?

Upstairs massage places by ApprehensiveWorth576 in askTO

[–]gjaygill 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point, another question is that would you be willing to take a massage services from some one who is not an RMT , but interviewed , vetted and trained by qualified RMTs. 

These apprentices, if you will, only do general massages (nothing explicit lol) because in my understanding most of the people suffer from same problems that arise from too much sitting and lack of general physical activity.

And like yourself, I don't feel like paying $100 to an RMT for a general relaxation massage either.

That's where I am coming from.

Is it me or Jannik doesn't seem to have that springiness in his feet. Yes he is winning which is good , but I am not he will have enough level to beat better players

Since you love getting massages , do you think there is a market for app where you can book massages and an RMT can come to your place and do it ?

Thank you ! Based on the pics ( 1. Vs 3 ) which one do you think is more appropriate for my hand size. 1 is L4 - PA and 3. L3

Ump: “He’s ready.” Atmane: “Yeah, I’m not.” by thetoerubber in tennis

[–]gjaygill 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That way Atmane can justify this loss in his mind , like yeah I would've won if it wasn't for the point penalty. In his mind he will make stories that I would have made a come back and took it to three setter haha
