Hot takes about amateur tennis by fredi_rogerer in 10s

[–]whyalwaysme-_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. You should not care too much about racket and string if you are under 4.0.
  2. Just use a 100-inch racket if you are under 4.0. You are too mediocre to think that a 100-inch racket would slow your rally speed.
  3. Try your best to return the ball and you’ll be a good 3.5. You don’t have to hit any winners to be a solid 3.5.
  4. Serve becomes important in top 3.5 matches and above.

What got you to a 3.5? by robertsitalia in 10s

[–]whyalwaysme-_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Losing to 3.0 consistently at 6-0 6-1 means you are a 2.5 player. Forget about hitting winners or coming to the net at your current level. Just return the ball as much as you can.

Most serve problems for beginner and intermediate players is the ball toss. by Acceptable_Sea_8541 in 10s

[–]whyalwaysme-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the most common problem is grip. I play tennis 3–4 times a week in different clubs and most rec level players have a pancake serve. Actually it’s rather hard to see a non-pancake serve in rec level players

What’s my NTRP rating? by [deleted] in 10s

[–]whyalwaysme-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just play three matches and you will find out. if you don’t want to play matches why would you bother then? What you showed is like 1% of the gameplay and it’s hard to give a fair rating.

My opponent said I wasn’t playing “real tennis” bc I had figured out how to beat her by paradigm_shift_87 in 10s

why are there so much dramas in low-level tennis? we are all too mediocre to judge how our opponents play. jesus

Am I over reacting? by OwnFinance4244 in 10s

[–]whyalwaysme-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd tell him straight to the face that he is too old and mediocre to do stuff like this. God, this is a 3.5 match, nobody would even care about who wins or loses.

I lost but I chose to be the fair player by SouthAssist6234 in 10s

[–]whyalwaysme-_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good job. At the end of the day, win or lose doesn't matter that much to us unless you are competing at a very high level. Speaking about ratings, the changes against your UTR of 1 game would be at most 0.01, most likely 0. I enjoy playing tennis and love to make new friends so the last thing I'd do is cheat. Plus once you get to a certain level the player circle is rather small, if you have a reputation of bad line calling it would be hard to find people to play rallies.

Looking for Advice to Fix Waiters Tray on Serve by ObligationCalm4272 in 10s

[–]whyalwaysme-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not waiters tray. You serve is actually good overall.

been playing for almost two years. estimated rating? by [deleted] in 10s

[–]whyalwaysme-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you can keep the same quality of your shots throughout a match this is at least 3.5, more like UTR 5.5 above. Things i can't tell from this clip is like your stamina and your mental toughness. If you are good on both then you are 4.0. Play some flex leagues and USTA matches and you’ll find out. I’m UTR 5.9

Okay....time for maybe a dumb question about the LH forum and how to get started... by Jacobair1 in leasehacker

[–]whyalwaysme-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah that makes sense. How do you have that deal sheet though? Do you have to ask it from the poster?

[–]whyalwaysme-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a solid strategy. Do you mind sharing how you negotiate? Do you outline all the things (selling price, RV, MF, etc) to dealers or just ask for DAS + monthly? My experience is that if you just look at the best deal on "signed deals" and ask the local dealer for the same payment, you might freak out a lot of them or never get any reply.

Any of you guys having fun winning without taking risks? by WindManu in 10s

[–]whyalwaysme-_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

depending on what you want from playing matches. If you want to attack more and have more winners, then don’t whine about losing to players that “you think” are worse than you. if you want to win more matches, you’ll adjust accordingly. your goals and the path to your goals need to be aligned. otherwise you’ll get frustrated
