    No, Eman was great tonight. That's why i said "thank you for putting up with me" when he was leaving my frustration is not from winning or missing a simple block, it's more i didn't or couldn't make the adjustment when he pointed it out time and time again ... i don't think that's normal, i...

    Never in my wildest dream would I realize so many different emotions from a night’s doubles friendlies. I am grateful my partner (more than 900+ my senior) put up with me for some fifteen games or more. I knew it wasn’t a banner of a night when der’s departing words to me were “I’ll try to think...

    Nov 18, 2022 Friday Training Session @ Church Another highlight was a fundamental change playing (trusting) my BH more by not running around my FH, looking for a FH (out of habit) At this moment, i am working toward a 45% BH 55% FH playing style i came to this decision b/c opponents were...

    A fun, yet productive session at the church last night One of the highlights was a conversation der & i had about quality vs landing %. he led me to answer my own question after i noticed my consistency was increasing but ball quality decreased (i was not pressing him). After thinking, at this...

    Morning IB66, Thanks for the video post, N!CE W!N Rai is a BH dominant plyr, taking balls at his middle with his BH (even during warm up). Also (3:35) your BH serve to his FH, he leaned to his right taking the ball with his BH and hit the ball way off your end, a pattern throughout the match...
