nothing personal but matt_88 you think 13% at 2s counts as winning reg ?
I think it is just lot of leaks.
Of course it is easier to just discuss about 500 BI swings at 2s and keep thinking you are super good, it`s just variance.
Also Downrock in last 2 months all your posts I have seen is asking about is this xxx BI swing normal, and I like what CBorders said in topic about running bad I don`t know why I post even this, because it`s not in my interests to tell you to improve your game, but whatever.
gl everyone

matt_88 is a boss, I can assure you of that.

I accept these statements.

Well it's pretty simple really.

Remember warm Sunday afternoons when everyone loaded into the car with the intention of spending some family time together? For me, being one of eight children, it was all too familiar. The entire trip was nothing but fighting over what we were going to get, and who got to pick the cereal. Once we got to the popular cereal isle my brothers, sisters, and I were in constant battle deciding between Cocoa Puffs and Trix. What did we end up with though? Kaboom or something generic like that. It was the same thing (that is what my parents always said), but it never really tasted the same. Imagine my fright when I announced that I was going to join the tennis team and I needed a racket. Just like the cereal, I knew that my parents were interested in saving money. Quality was not in the budget. I had envisioned the Radical Tour 260, the latest and most practical tool for the game of tennis. My parents, on the other hand, had different intentions. We were off to WAL-MART to find the most economical racket that reasonably fit into the budget. At least, that is how my parents explained the situation. Otherwise, in normal language, we were going to pick out the cheapest racket on the shelf. I began arguing, stressing the importance of how the racket affected my skill on the court. I continued rambling and whining, and with that my father issued a challenge: If I could find scientific research backing up my reasoning for needing the Radical Tour 260, he would be sold. My need for that racket was overwhelming. I did not want to be the only guy on the team without the racket. It just wouldn't be fair. With that thought, I ran off to the library to start researching. This, my report, is what I gave my parents the next evening. To determine how important the racket is in the success of a tennis player, one must first understand the basic motions of the ball, the many swings affecting the ball, the anatomy of the racket, and how, through the laws of physics, the racket and its actions can be manipulated to ensure success in even the beginning tennis player. To achieve a full understanding of how physics affects the game of tennis, I will begin with defining a few basic physical principles that influence motions of the ball. Next, I will apply these definitions to several physical characteristics such as the coefficient of friction, speed, resistance, Newton's Laws, Magnus force, gravitational pull, and the conservation of momentum. Finally, I will use these characteristics to describe how and why the technology of tennis rackets has changed in recent years. The motion of a tennis ball through air is determined by the laws of physics. The way in which the ball goes over the net on a serve is not as simplistic as it might sound.
It includes velocity (both final and initial), acceleration of the ball, forces acting on the ball and the angles of motion during the swing and the follow through. Speed is a ratio between the displacement divided by the time it took for the displacement to occur (v=d/t). For example, imagine a tennis player hits a ball ten yards in two seconds. The average speed of the ball is five yards per second. At some point, the ball may have been
going faster or slower than five yards per second, but again it is the average speed. When the velocity of the ball changes, the ball undergoes acceleration. Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the interval of time. When the tennis ball's velocity and acceleration are in the same direction, the speed of the ball occurs with time. When the ball's velocity and acceleration are in opposite directions, however, the speed of the ball decreases with time. Once the ball is first shot into the air, the laws of physics take over and determine where it will go. There is nothing that the player or his or her opponent can do to guide it or change its path. There are three forces acting on the ball during its flight; gravity, air resistance, and the Magnus force which causes the ball to curve. The force due to gravity (mg) is always pointed straight down toward the Earth. Air resistance slows the ball, and in the range of speeds encountered in tennis, the force it causes is proportional to the square of the ball's speed. For example, a ball moving at 50 m.p.h. will encounter four times as much air resistance force than that of a ball moving at 20 m.p.h. Wind also creates an air resistance force, which can be analyzed in a similar manner. Because air resistance force is proportional to the square of the speed, a crosswind of 20 m.p.h. will exert four times as much force on the ball as a 10 m.p.h. crosswind, and a 30 m.p.h. crosswind provides a force nine times as strong as the 10 m.p.h. wind. This is obvious when a tennis player tosses the ball up for a serve if there is a brisk breeze. The Magnus force is at right angles to the direction that the ball is moving and is proportional to how fast the ball is spinning. It is also proportional to the square of the ball's speed. Because of these factors, it is very important for tennis players to be able to observe these certain characteristics. They must be able to think critically to place the shot in the correct side of the opponent's court. There are many ways in which a player may hit the tennis ball. Choosing a good strategy and position, hitting high-percentage shots, and using the proper equipment may help the player win more points. The angle of the racket face and the direction of the racket velocity at the instant of contact between the ball and the racket determine where exactly the ball will go. When a player stands at the forehand corner of the court and attempts to return a shot to the center of the challenger's court with a forehand drive, the shot will go crosscourt if the player swings a little early. If he or she swings a little late, the shot will go down the line (Cantin 6). The swing of a tennis racket can be described as the arc of a circle. At the second that the player hits the ball, the racket is in a certain position in the arc. Thus, the face of the racket is pointing in a certain direction, and at that moment the racket is moving tangent to the arc. The angular error of the racket is given by the formula 57 x timing error x (ball speed + racket speed)/ swing radius. This means that the worse the timing error, the larger the angular error. This error decreases as the swing radius increases, but it increases as the racket speed and the speed of the approaching ball increase. This attributes to the knots in a tennis player's stomach as the opponent puts increased pressure on them. Increasing the radius of swing however, will improve the player's accuracy and control. If the player keeps a firm wrist and uses his or her shoulders as the pivot point for his or her shots, he or she will double the radius of his or her swing and will reduce by half the horizontal angular error caused by the timingerror associated with that shot (Brody 119). The three most popular techniques in the sport of tennis include topspin, backspin, and sidespin. Topspin is, by far, the most challenging and requires a greater appreciation of physics. Topspin on a tennis ball is usually called the powerspin. The difference between a shot with topspin and a shot without topspin is rotational motion on the shot with topspin as well as translational motion. If the face of the racket is oriented so that it is perpendicular to the direction of the racket's motion, the resulting shot will have little or no spin. So how do you generate a lift and spin on the tennis ball? Lift is generated by creating a pressure difference and deflecting the flow. To create a pressure difference on the ball, it needs to move more fluid around one side than the other. Spinning the ball will set up the imbalance, thus making the pressure difference. When the tennis ball rotates, the fluid that is in contact with the ball's surface tends to rotate with the ball. The air next to the air on the surface tends to do the same thing. Far from the ball, this rotation does not affect the surrounding air. Very close to the ball, however, these fluid layers make up what is called a boundary layer. Consider the topspin stroke; if the ball doesn't rotate as it flies through the air, then both the top and bottom sides of the ball meet the air rushing over it at the same speed. Relative to the ball, the top of the ball in topspin spins forward into the oncoming air. There is more movement of air towards the bottom surface. Now, more fluid needs to pass through the same space on the underside of the ball. Basically, the flow is squashed on the lower side of the ball. This means that there needs to be a higher velocity on the lower side of the ball, and, subsequently, a lower velocity on the top of the ball.

If you have anymore questions just write me a pm. And if you wanna learn how to jam A6o with 25bb from utg, I coach too.

^ wow

tl;dr... or did I?

Faked, no walmarts in NZ

lol

Oh you hit a bit of ball bro?

More time coaching and shorter rants IMO :P
Glad I stopped halfway!!!!!

[x] brag!

I didn't even reach line 3

well hi,
i just want to say that every topreg here is a big luckbox

I never said I`m very good and my intention wasnt to come to this thread and bitch about a downswing that happened a long time ago. I saw Downrock`s post and wanted to show him that its possible to crawl back from a huge hole.

less fighting, more hot chicks

Someone had to say it.

i like you, sir.

anybody having issues with stars lag atm as well? takes me like 2 mintues to reg for a 180

I didnt started playing yet, but they did have server reset like few hours ago maybe its still on the work

Yea...for the last 15/30 mins i think

yeah i've stopped reging as the lag is unbearable

confirmed. p* client lately makes me sick...

ya its lagging big for me too

i see a few players sitting out too on tables

Was just about to post, "no problems here" but now its starting to hit.

Can someone post ITT a stars response.

I guess they'd answer sth like this:
