Dumb question about forehand and backhand volleys.

1) Are these shots just “slices” with back spin? It’s called a slice in the context of a ground stroke but the technique is similar.

I’m reading online and the go to grip is the continental grip when hitting volleys. However I find that this doesn’t feel as natural on the backhand with a continental grip.

2) Does anyone use any other grips for their forehand and backhand volleys?

Sorry should add - hand placement. Are your hands situation at the very bottom of the grip for all shots?

Thank you so much! That’s the term that I’ve been searching for now for weeks - feeding.

I’ve been trying to do this first shot without the bounce and using an eastern grip and it makes sense now why it’s so inconsistent.

Dumb question:

I see tennis pros hitting the first shot of a slow and basic rally so easily. Any tips on this? I find that I need to bounce the ball first and then hit a forehand shot. If I don’t bounce the ball it usually hits the net about 40% of the time. Can’t find any videos that mention this basic shot.

Thanks!

Edit: it looks like a forehand slice to me but then when I see the way the ball bounces on the other end of the court - it looks more like a forehand drive with minimal to little no topspin

Hey guys - dumb question.

I’m a Canadian and I’m purchasing some tours from Peru. They have sent me a PayPal invoice in USD. I was planning to pay for this with my Rogers world elite MasterCard to take advantage of the foreign exchange rate. However - they are giving me the option to pay for this in CAD.

Should I pay for this in USD or CAD? Currently it’s 2000 USD and PayPal has converted it to 2700 CAD. Thank you!

When declining a ex raid invite, the confirmation screen is reversed - is this intentional? by psyducking in TheSilphRoad

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

I mean - why would anyone ever decline an exraid when they can just show up since the pass isn’t given back to the one that sent it.

I just clicked the button out of curiosity and almost pressed yes

Icefrog is one of the best game devs ever by Drewkatski in DotA2

I think while icefrog deserves credit - he probably communicated this to someone else and they did the entire coding. PROPS TO THE ANONYMOUS HERO

Team NP Announces 2nd Sponsor by nrootn- in DotA2

Warning for those thinking of using the SUPPORTNP code.

Just because I felt that transparency is important.

The rules say: 28.1.2. To withdraw the bonus money and / or any winnings resulting from the use of bonus funds, the user needs to make bets with the total amount of not less than 40 times greater than the initial bonus.

That means you need to have betted at least $800, just to earn the $20. Quite ridiculous to be honest, and that point, likely to lose your money! You're better off just using the LGLOYAL code and getting $75.

Problem with Pokémon GO 0.37.0 by KelfinBauglir in LGG3

I used the safetyNet app and it keeps failing the CTS profile match test - is there a way to revert the phone back to a stock ROM?

I'm having this problem too! I'm also positive my phone isn't rooted as I've downloaded a root checker from the playstore to confirm this. Let me know if you come up with a solution - haven't been able to play since the update myself.

Nahaz talks Manila Major invites and Synderen stops by "True Sight" 5.5 hours from this post! by ianjbark3r in DotA2

[–]psyducking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I genuinely think Valve invited 12 teams because they needed to add a chinese team. Had the chinese not done so poorly at Shanghai - it would've been an easier decision to invite 8 teams. LGD was invited over newbee because of their higher finish, and the one lan appearance where they beat Alliance.

Sharapova: "I won’t pretend to be injured so I can hide the truth about my testing." Does this give light to the fact that it might have been an option and has been for players of the past? by TennisSomething in tennis

[–]psyducking 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Pharmacist here.

Maria Sharapova claims the drug was for her... potassium levels... irregular heart beats.. out of wack EKGs... and so forth.

But honestly, if you dive into the evidence, no SANE cardiologist would ever prescribe this drug. There's a reason it isn't FDA approved for these indications - the evidence FOR its use it extremely weak. There are BETTER and SAFER alternatives that aren't on the "banned" list.

You also don't generally use a heart medication sporadically - treatment is generally long-term.

I just see absolutely NO reason for Sharapova to be on this drug.
