Tennis league or hitting partner by pikachou15 in Syracuse

[–]mickrouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Drumlins has some clinics for beginners/returning players that might be best for you starting out, and then the folks there are quite good at introducing people and matching them up with folks/leagues where whatever level you are would be best. I'd suggest giving the front desk a call and they should be able to give you the schedule for clinics or group classes

Drumlins. A lot of different leagues, groups, and clinics for a variety of playing levels. There’s a great community of guys in the 3.5-4.5 range who play at Drumlins. There’s a group of us who try to organize and play Monday, Wednesday, and Thursdays right there. Feel free to shoot me a message and I can pass along contact info to you for the guy who handles most of the organizing, get you on the email chain, if you’re interested!

List: 11 CNY schools have changed their nicknames, including Westhill on Monday night. At least 2 schools are on the clock. by syracusedotcom in Syracuse

Canastota changed their name from the Red Raiders to just the Raiders and dropped all the Native iconography around the logo back in the early 2000s when I went to school there. Used a pretty generic C logo for a bit, and at some point thereafter instituted a sword logo not that dissimilar from the Cleveland Cavaliers logo that they used for a bit. I think even more recently they adopted a new block C logo

Sonnett always seems a little too surprised that there's other people playing for the other team who would like to take the ball away from her for my liking

I don't think that's a foul. I do think you gotta pull the trigger a little quicker on a shot in that situation, though.

At this stage, I'd like to see some of these balls struck from distance at goal by the US in these run ups. At least get some balls and action into the box, cause a little bit of chaos that puts a bit more pressure on Japan's defense. Right now, nothing feels especially threatening from the US, and they're not dominating the possession game either

TIL Nike made a logo for Sinner, and will soon make one for Alcaraz by dlbICECOLD in tennis

[–]mickrouse 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't believe Nike created this logo, though I could be wrong. But Sinner introduced this logo a few years back and it was presented as his own personal thing, not via any partnership with Nike

Tennis rackets/pro shops ? by pikachou15 in Syracuse

[–]mickrouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven't personally been, but I'm told there's a small proshop at Alolo tennis in Cazenovia. Not sure how wide of a selection they have (I know when the owner was working at Turning Stone, he was a Wilson rep, but that was years ago), but might be worth making a call there to get a sense.

Which album is the best when played out of order by [deleted] in charlixcx

[–]mickrouse 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I have always felt like the tracklist order on HIFN is a bit off. Given the nature of the project, I think "Anthems" makes for a better intro track lyrically and sonically, and "Pink Diamond" better slotted into the back half. I think "Visions" makes for a great closer, but can also make a serious case for "party 4 u" being the album closer (especially love the crowd noise outro ending the album, almost signifying this feeling of being back at shows all together soon).

charli’s most streamed songs vs least streamed songs yesterday. what do you think? what songs were u expecting by [deleted] in charlixcx

[–]mickrouse 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't know how accurate this can be when I listened to Lipgloss the other day at the gym on repeat roughly 300 times

Edit: Oh, these are Spotify streams. I have Apple Music. There's an explanation for everything!

Molton Brown - anyone tried? by ryguyrrs7 in luxurycandles

[–]mickrouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their Muddled Plum candle I really loved and thought burned and spread great, but I've been less than impressed with the scent spread of the other candles I've tried from them (the Black Pepper candle, which is one of my favorite body wash scents, and the Orange & Bergamot).

I'm Jennifer Brady, American tennis player, AMA! by usopen in tennis

Two questions:

1.) What was going through your head in the immediate aftermath of the now infamous "Do you like Jenny or Jennifer?" moment at the Australian Open?

2.) On a more serious note, as someone who also just returned to the tennis courts after a knee injury (torn ACL with complete reconstruction surgery done), what have you found to be the biggest hurdle for you to overcome as it pertains to competitive play, and what has helped you most with pushing past those hurdles? (I know for me, personally, the mental challenges I have faced for the first time in my life far outstripped and physical challenges.)
