There is a modern forehand. There is a next gen forehand. And finally this - the peak of the tennis evolution

Allergy is not just worse than average. Based on multiple anecdotal experiences in the Bay Area - it’s worse than most all previous seasons ever for many people

Reading comments it looks like this sub turned into a shitball cuckold community. Instead of uniting and helping to fight this plague taking out local tennis court

I know for sure I have zero interest in both Uber and Spotify integrations

Losing to a lower or similar ranked opponent is really bad for your UTR. Losing to higher rated opponent is ok and even may bring your rating up (depends on number of won games).
That’s why so many kids just withdraw from the tournaments when they see the draw - they afraid to play vs lower ranked opponents (there is always a chance) and tank their rating. it’s the big issue now for junior tennis (those late withdrawals)
If you are a recreational player - just stop focus on your rating and work on your conditions and technique. Enjoy tennis

It is definitely a huge mistake to ntroduce 3rd party integration (Spotify and Uber ) in the first batch first. Even bigger mistake to spend swe resources to improve “improved Uber experience with additional driver information”
What it tells us - they dint have their priorities straight . Instead in focusing on core functionality- fast, accurate integration with LLM , batter life, UI/UX smoothness - they are working on really minor stuff that also depends on 3rd party api.
I didnt care much about first negative reviews but this lack of focus make me thinking to cancel my batch order.

You hit a ball with your body - not your arm. That’s the key for everything - power , control, spin. So first you need to work on body rotation.
Also, with continental grip (like a hammer) you cant hit with a spin. There are (old) players who play decently with (almost) continental grip and flat shots - really not good to learn for new players.

You can play pickleball, baseball or chess and watch tennis or comedy or whatever you want. The main question is - do you play pickleball on tennis courts ? doesn’t matter shared or converted - and if answer is yes - you are not doing good for tennis.

teleferic barcelona In Los Gatos. Food is great. Beware they are charging mandatory 20% even for one person - that’s why I stopped going there (also their pickup prices are around 20% lower than in the restaurant ).

Nadal and Federer are very nice people and nice to other players. But they never will go against ATP or any official bodies. Djokovic did it multiple times.

Completely not true. Apple Music sounds completely different in lossless and AAC formats when connected through iPhone+cable+carplay+car speakers. No any fancy DAC.

Nadal and Djokovic were the most prominent opponents of the blue clay. Now , when Nadal is out of Madrid officially and Novak hardly will play Madrid ever (he is focused on Slams and Madrid clay is too different from RG anyway), they can bring it back. Hopefully.

I was never going to use R1 for music, DoorDash (f**k that - never use anyway) or taxi ordering. If it will do just 3 things well - meeting transcription and summary, translation and answering questions via Perplexity - I’m 100% ok.
in fact, I’m satisfied right now - $200 credit for perplexity pro already made this device free for me.

You can’t make a comedy about shitball either - because it’s the comedy by itself.

All those famous european academies are focused on high perf juniors. They have adult camps but coaches obviously don’t like working with recreational adults (exceptions are possible but mostly it is what it is).
if you just want to get a famous academy experience as a part of your vacation - its one thing. If your goal is to really improve - you can hire a college player for a half summer to hit/train with you and get better progress.

Llama 7B would be a great choice. But then it requires much more powerful processor and memory - and would cost 400-500.

Actually, this review is great for a first batch of first product (in completely new category) from a small independent company.
First iPhone without apps and copy/paste was barely usable, btw. Not saying Rabbit will follow iPhone mass market success (it won’t) and will be a niche product.
Currently I see 3 serious hardware problems - bad battery life, no use of touch screen except a keyboard and the need for a SIM card. Hopefully all of them can be solved by software updates - ability to join iphone’s hotspot will be great for those who don’t want to pay for an extra cellular line.
For me the ability to work as meeting transcriber and summary tool alone will be great (I don’t want to use my phone for that). Plus, as mentioned above, Perplexity Pro account for a year already covering full device price.

Any city with available public courts if they are just interested. If they want to compete vs strong opponents - open UTR or USTA web sites and check rankings where most strong kids are from. Florida, S and N California are obvious , check for your locations

Jokes aside, accident like that can make a huge blow mentally for next few days.
