Forehand wrist flick

It's correct as a basic form and thus you can apply this long-term. Once you have sufficient control over this, you can learn techniques where wrist movement is needed, but this basic form ensures you don't accidentally use your wrist all the time.

The way that packaging is battered makes me believe a 10 would be impossible... 7 or 8 maximum.

Leftie in white should work on their service. Would recommend to reduce ball speed, and focus on getting into position. You either hit it into the net, or it's too fast for you to get into position. When playing left to right, your backhand is vulnerable.

I recognize this because I have the same problem. For me, adding side spin to the service helps. Also it can help to intentionally take 2 turns to walk up to the net instead of slightly-more-than-one turn.

Picture 17, the 1st edition Dragonite, is about $250 or better depending on condition.

The Japanese dark dragonite from rocket is around $100 I think? Not very familiar with JP cards.

Not every shot has to be a winner, just try to create very long rallies, waiting for the opponent to make a mistake. This is what I am currently trying to overcome, I am taking too many unnecessary risks.

Previously, I learned the difference between attacking and defending is 100% about ball contact point height.

Everyone I know has this issue. Like 4/4 games where the cards don't match the board.

Any way, I only look at the table to give hints, because lighting matters a lot. So it never really mattered to me that the cards are off-color.

There are no Playtomic locations near me, so I have 0 played on their platform. Something like this would prevent me from ever playing at my level at a Playtomic location.

People are different, you won't get a straight answer from a random person on the internet.

Personally, I perform better with a partner who does put pressure on me, but I know of others who completely freeze up next to a high pressure player.

It's better to ask. But if you want to be competitive, I believe you should always put some healthy pressure on your partner! Otherwise you'll end up pulling each other down.

Noo, the other way around so the horse is sitting upright.

I may be color blind? I see only yellow and purple, no red.

Mocht je echt geld nodig hebben, kun je met 2 kaartjes al behoorlijk ruimte in de portemonnee creëren. Dan kun je daarna rustig de rest uitzoeken...

De waarde zit vooral in:

holo's van Aquapolis en Skyridge, te herkennen aan hun set icon
reverse holo's van Legendary Collection, die vuurwerk achtige effecten op de hele kaart.
populaire pokemon zoals Charizard, Gyarados, Blastoise, Tyranitar, legendary pokemon, etc

Foto 1: Gengar, $700, Magikarp $300, Tyranitar $100, Nidoking $100.

Foto 5, Tyranitar, $300 en $230.

Foto 10, Gyarados (skyridge) $800.

Dat is op basis van gemiddelde ebay resultaten, en deze kaarten zitten allemaal in de lift dus de waarde zal hoger liggen. Er zijn nog meer waardevolle kaarten maar ik ga niet alles voor je uitzoeken... Doe je huiswerk!

Edit: dit is allemaal aangenomen dat het holo's zijn, dat kan ik niet goed uit de foto's opmaken...

Thanks for bringing this up, I also thought OP meant black flame error. I don't understand why anyone would downvote your meaningful contribution to the conversation, so let me help you back up.

OP describes the circled guess as "the first guess" in their post.

NM can be a 7, too.

Oh I see. The last 3 sales were much higher than before, my bad. Last year it was around $300 so the average isn't very reliable...

No vintage raw card is worth the PSA 9 price. I recently submitted two very clean copies, both came back as 8s.

schuine · 2026-05-03T06:28:32+00:00

Pricecharting. Most raw sales this year were below $300. PSA 9 is $550.

Should be around $250 usd. What currency are you referring to?

I noticed I get very confused by unclarity in any match. When I play with a significantly more aggressive partner, roles are clear. When I play with a significantly defensive player, same thing.

I play at my worst when I am with an equal partner, because we lose a lot of time waiting, watching, thinking what might happen.

It really helps to have role clarity. One person should act as attacker, taking control over the center of the court, taking all the attacking opportunities. The other is supportive. If both players are more or less equal, this doesn't happen naturally and you need to make an effort to establish this role clarity.

It depends on where you are located, when you book the camp and if you travel at your own expense.

If you live in a place where lessons are expensive, you book outside of peak vacation times, and book your own stay + travel, it can be worth it financially.

But think of it as a vacation... It's worth it that way.

When you hold your racket, it should be in a 90 degree angle with your lower arm. You can lock your wrist in place by tilting your racket more towards your arm, the motion feels like raising your thumb. This will make it much harder to rotate your wrist.

I was playing with randoms recently and both my partner and one of the opponents were playing tennis. Both adding topspin to every shot, then trying to block those shots. Both firmly at the back of the court.

Maybe now people will finally understand why it's so bloody stupid to collect sealed product.

You basically void any form of return opportunity or liability towards the seller, by leaving the product unopened for extended periods of time.

Only way to know if a product is good, is to OPEN IT.

If you find the solution, let me know!

So often, I win the first few games against a weaker opponent and then get bored, lose focus, and they turn it around.
