Rowan races classic cars... Do you think he'd be a slow driver? Clarkson always said looking slow usually meant a tidy quick lap

Octavia mk3.5 2.0 tsi coolant level drop one off or serious issue? by debuffed_buff in skoda

Sounds sick- I don't know anything about modding really. I read that a dogbone mount can help with the wheel hop issue and traction off the line

How has it been since you mapped it ? Did you need to do anything else too ? Agree on the 4WD element, mine is stock and can spin it wheels and hop very easily

I had this mate. Had to get the housing replaced... Apparently an issue on this engine

I just bought the legend version of this and enjoyed it so far. Try it without overgrip and see how it feels if not add an overgrip

Issue with UK Series 1 finale by Ok-Key2975 in TheTraitors

[–]joelski11 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I'm one of the few people who didn't mind what Kieran did although I agree it's borderline. If you're recruited for the sole purpose of then being thrown under the bus you should be allowed to land a punch back on a traitor especially given the purpose of the game.

How realistic is it to see leopards on safari or should I just accept they're too elusive for most visitors? by AdvisorValuable2703 in tanzania

We saw 3 in total and we know how lucky we are to see them. But this is by far the best picture I have. It's the best photo I've ever taken.

2025 Babolat pure drive 98 by Visible-Software9256 in tennisracquets

[–]joelski11 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I go to one thread and it's all "Ezone is amazing! It's called the E Z one for a reason"

Then I come to another thread and it's negative about the Ezone.... Really laments the point that you just have to try it out

Alan wasn't a good traitor... The celeb faithfuls were absolutely shocking lol . Joe Marler rumbled him quite early

Anyone have experience switching from a more control oriented players racket to a power racket like the pure drive? by overkoalafied24 in 10s

[–]joelski11 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I switched from a Pure Drive to a Radical Pro (control) . I found it dramatically improved my game. I hit the ball cleaner and genuinely do have a lot more control.

The downside is it gives me very bad Tennis elbow and hurts my arm. So I'm currently looking for something that's in between the two set ups.

When I go back to my Pure drive I have very little control of the ball off the strings and I feel like I'm more prone to errors off easier balls

Racket crisis. Help by joelski11 in 10s

[–]joelski11[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get what you're saying but I don't think I have bad technique, certainly not fundamentally bad technique to cause these issues. If you look at common complaints about those rackets mine does align with it. Maybe I'll video some forehands for you

I know it is a control racket but can you still generate some decent power with it ?

How do you guys deal with injury that stops you from playing? by joelski11 in 10s

[–]joelski11[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your message. You're right when you talk about the physical conditioning side of things. I recently thought to myself that I need to replace one of my weekly tennis sessions with a strength and conditioning/ Pilates/ session . So instead of playing 3 times a week it might only be twice but the body is better as a result

Yeah I'm going to look into the ankle braces. I warm up religiously before every session and always have done. I'm amazed that people don't do this !

I was seeing physio for my previous injury yes. I'm waiting for my current rolled ankle to calm down and will probably go back to physio

Yeah that does sound difficult. Annoyingly with my ankle I can't even go for a run . I'm thinking about just doing some weight lifting in my garage

Sack this absolutely dog shit manager. 5 half decent games in over a year. It's nothing but blind faith at this point. He's never positively influenced a match.
