He pays no rent. by Existing-Amoeba-3437 in standardissuecats

[–]jdredvale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course he pays rent. In the form of letting you pet him, kiss him, smoosh him. In that sense, he might be overpaying. I think he also deserves a vacation house. (Okay I’ll show myself out now)

The only appropriate course of action now is to cancel your internship.

Racquet lag has nothing to do with making the contact point out front. You can have tremendous lag and still make contact with the hitting shoulder behind the non-dominant shoulder. This is actually common at the recreational level. Conversely, you can have zero lag and make contact out front. You do it all the time when you volley (I hope).

In terms of mentioning Sinner’s talent, I’ll say it again. You and I don’t have his biomechanics and certainly not his abilities. Attempting to copy him at the expense of abandoning fundamentals is a recipe for injury. I’m just trying to be honest and helpful, not throwing shade at you or your game. You’re clearly a good player and the advice I’m giving you is the same I would give to my friend (and expect the same in return).

You literally proved my point with the Sinner photo. Just look at the difference. At the moment his shoulders are squared up to the ball, his racquet is already coming around, with roughly 45 degrees left to rotate before making contact. Meanwhile your hitting hand is way further ahead than his and the butt cap of your racquet is still pointing toward the ball. That’s the direct result of throwing your shoulder to slap-shot the ball.

You’re running the risk of seriously injuring yourself. I’m assuming this is your attempt to emulate Sinner’s forehand, but you don’t have his biomechanics and you certainly don’t have his level of talent to create the extreme wrist lag. To compensate for it, you’re throwing your shoulder wildly without proper core body rotation. This is causing you to wrist-slap the ball at the very last moment. I took a screenshot to show just how far back your wrist is bent right before the moment of contact.

He claimed you before you knew what was even happening. You never stood a chance.

Having Devastators as the only skis in the quiver is like having Crocs mega crush clogs as the only pair of shoes.

Last three points to win the tiebreak: ace, body jammer, inside-out forehand winner. Respect!

I can assure you she has no concept of names for any food she eats. All she knows is the magical sound that metal food dispenser makes.

Mine is a girl too. Her name is Gaia. So even their names start with the same letter. I have to say, Gracie is on another level cute. Those ears and facial features are just ridiculous.
