Pinoy tennis

Yesterday evening, I played pickleball for the second time. What surprised me most was how quickly I could adjust to the game.

Although pickleball has different rules, equipment, court dimensions, and playing strategies, many of the movements and tactical decisions felt familiar to me as a tennis player.

I did not need to start from zero. I could read the ball, recognize my opponent's positioning, adjust my footwork, and change my shot selection as the rally developed.

Cat purrs commonly fall within approximately 20–150 Hz, a frequency range that overlaps with some forms of vibration therapy studied in medicine.

Tennis players spend hours on footwork, serve technique, and strategy. But there is a cheap, portable, and surprisingly powerful training tool that most players ignore: daily singing.

You spend hours perfecting your forehand. You drill your serve until it feels automatic. You work on your footwork patterns until they become second nature. But there is one fundamental skill that even elite coaches say is the single biggest cause of errors in tennis, and most players never train it.

Balance.

If you are a tennis player between the ages of 50 and 60, you likely spend a good amount of time worrying about your forehand technique, your serve velocity, or your court positioning.
