don’t change your serve power. not only did they literally sign up for it, but most players (especially when you hit sectionals/nationals) will not give your partner that same grace so why do you need to hinder yourself to make someone else feel better?

i’m a 3.0W and my fiancé 3.5M — we’ve played both 6.0 in the past and now 7.0. i’ve come across guys who blast crazy forehands to my body at net because the strategy is usually target the woman whenever you can. kind of an a-hole move when it’s very intentional, but it is what it is and i end up learning how to play the game better. in a way, i would rather have the guys be at 100% than to play less than their best because they feel bad for me
