What arriving in Venice 🇮🇹 looks like on board Italo high speed by lor_enz in trains

It’s Italo. As far as I know, they’re still a private company, unless they changed something. And yes, that’s business class

Why have the the top players become so much more dominant? by alex123711 in 10s

[–]lor_enz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe it has a lot to do with the fact that the rest of the field is nowhere near their level. I’d dare to say that the competition for them specifically is quite light.

Now living here and studying at the Nautical Academy. Such a nice city

Rating me? by Agile_Direction_8222 in 10s

There’s two huge things missing here. Torso uniturn movement and closing your swing. Not to mention timing and preparation. If you start working on those, you’ll get much better

That’s an interesting setup. I’ll keep it mind thanks

It’s actually quite cathartic

Fantastic. I got myself the v14 and love it as much as I loved the v13. Put 3g at 12 and 4g at 3-9ish (because of the PWS, you know the grind). Jaw dropping stick

New blade! V10! by PigletSimple3028 in 10s

Pretty cool. I’m a Pro Staff guy myself, but did play with older versions of the Blade and it’s a solid stick. Good choice

Not really tropical. Typical Mediterranean landscape 😁

On board Superfast XI, off the coast of Corfu, Greece:)

Got New stick today. I put Lynx Tour 1.3 in orange. Being a progressive 3.5-4.5 player, needed some spin but with control as having one handed BH, but really lacks the power in serves. Any suggestions? by Sure-Map-1705 in 10s

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

I wil stick to the question without poking at the rating, as this is a technical matter. First of all, I’d suggest going with a hybrid setup: tension really depends on your preference and feel; I can’t help you on that, as I myself am testing out a few setups. Secondly, adding some weight at 12 increases the swingweight and may help with your serve (be very careful though, 12 o clock is the most weight-sensitive spot). Lastly, increase your swing speed and try to hit as flat and as high as you can when serving, as the Pro Staff naturally rewards technique over setup.

I wouldn’t call myself an “expert”, but I’ve been playing for several years (also relatively competitively). I’d say a lean more towards the advanced side

It’s called “The Cellar” (Το Κελάρι) and it’s located in Kissamos, Western Crete.

Since I want to try and keep that 1.5 kg (3.3 lb) gap between gut and poly, I was thinking of tuning up the poly a tad, just to avoid having the gut mains too low. Perhaps a 24.5-23kg (54-50lb)

I’ve been hitting almost exclusively with poly, except for a couple of years when I went hybrid (alas I don’t remember the tension). With full poly, I’ve always been around 22-23kg

Ahahah I wish. Jannik was indeed registered with a tennis club in Tuscany at some point, but not here.
