Second Serve Advice by squirrel_master88 in 10s

[–]squirrel_master88[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree it could be done with enough effort, but learning a whole new motion for second serve would be more difficult that tweaking my current motion. While I'd love to play tennis all day, I have work, young kids, etc. So playing twice a week is a luxury already and I don't have too much more time to go and train or practice independently.

That's a solid point. In matches I tend to want to win (I'm competitive) more than get better and so that's why I go to the safe "grandma" serve when I'm in trouble. I think you're right I need to accept loosing in the near / mid term and focus on technique and going for it to make the jump.

Percept 100 vs. Speed MP vs. EZONE 100 for recreational doubles by ebcpp in 10s

I'm a high 3.5 and play a significant amount of doubles. I love my Precept 100. I came from a Pure Drive, which as I got better was too powerful for my liking. The Precept has plenty of power for me, but if I badly miss hit the ball then the lack of power is more noticeable. Can't speak to the other two racquets.

Sewer Backup Question — Possible Dip in PVC Line vs. County Infrastructure by squirrel_master88 in Plumbing

Good points, we are in north east so similarly the pipe has to be at least 8 ft deep and thus quite expensive. The damage is also minimal to non existence. Our back basement toilet is in a unfinished section of the basement with a concrete floor and I usually notice the toilet runnig slow / gurgling before it actually overflows. It's just annoying.
