How can I get better at tennis and what are some tips?

I just started tennis this year and I’m actually pretty good but tomorrow at practice we are doing some sort of match thing to decide the 3 people the won’t be playing quads (they’ll still be on the team but the day we have quads we have 3 too many girls). I really want to play in this and my biggest problems would be aim and backhand (I can get backhand over and in but it usually goes really high even if I tell myself to tilt the racket downward). Any and all tips are appreciated

OK, to get through tomorrow, before you can PRACTICE more, which is the main thing you need.

1. PREPARATION – Get to your hitting position as quickly as you can. Move those feet. Take your baby steps to get your position just right.

2. PREPARATION – Get your body turned, feet lined up, shoulder turned, weight on your back foot, ready to move through the ball when you swing.

3. SWING – Keep your eye on the ball.

4. SWING – Do not move your head until you have completed your swing.

5. SWING – Complete your follow through.

There are of course many more “tips” but if you write those 5 down on a card and read them over during the day, then remember then during your practice matches, it should really help.

Then you need to practice a lot, and we can add some more tips.

Good luck.

Can a large appliance draw power from other devices; especially ones that have capacitors.?

Specifically when my AC kicks on my audio amplifier “dims” in volume. The audio “dimming” is just as fast as the light flicker which I would expect. However if I were to normally unplug the amplifier with signal running the fade time is much longer; (as the caps loose all new energy amp fades out). So I feel that the AC unit is stealing power out of my vintage McIntosh amplifier.

However if I were to normally unplug the amplifier with signal running the fade time is much longer; (as the caps loose all new energy amp fades out). So I feel that the AC unit is stealing power out of my vintage McIntosh amplifier. The normal fade time is over 4 seconds of full power unplugged. To have a momentary dim must, power has to be pulled out of my caps. If you are not a professional audio or electrical engineer I don’t need a bad answer.

All that’s happening is, when the AC starts, it requires a large amount of power until it gets going. As your power supply is not unlimited, it causes a momentary drop in the line, so that your lights and other appliances are affected! It is not stealing power from your amplifier as such, it is just at one instant there’s not enough to go around!

HELP PLEASE!I have got my PC connected to an AMP.Play PC music through Aux. Tuner is connected to tunerI want?

to record music from my tuner on to my PC.Must be a way as both pc and tuner are connected to the Amp!I have a good recorder on the PC.

This question doesn’t make any sense. Who ends a question with ‘tuner is connected to tunerl want?’ What? are you on about? Try again!

what is the difference between av amplifier and av receiver?

An outboard amplifier is just that. nothing more. Most times an outboard amp has to be hooked up to a Preamp which handles the tuner, switching and processing of audio signals. The amp drives the speakers with power that the Preamp has already processed.

Most times you get better audio processing and sound quality with a preamp and amplifier. You can get different power amps to ensure that your speakers get enough power and headroom.

A reciever has everything built in one chasis. The video switching, audio processing and amplifier all in one box. Granted the power amp in receivers are never as powerful as an outboard amp, there are some receivers that have enough power to handle most what you toss at it.

Outboard amps come as one channel (Mono) two channel (stereo amp) three channel (those are rarer to find) Five channel and seven channel Multi amps.

With receivers you are going to get either a stereo reciever, 5.1 channel (standard) 6.1 channel (getting rarer to find) and a 7.1 channel. Denon 5808 is a ten channel amp and yamaha makes a 9.1 and 11.1 reciever rated at 170 watts per channel.

Most recievers can get by with good sound in an average room with 100 watts per channel. but look at the specs and check for THD (Total harmonic Distortion) less than 1% is inaudible and good and check the power per frequency spcs on each channel. Some rate their recievers at 1Khz so it appears that their amps are more powerful than they are. You want to find a rated power spec along all frequency bands 20Hz-20Khz).

Also check the power outputs running just two channels (which will have a higher number than that given by the manufacturer and with five channels driven and seven channels driven.

A good reciever that is rated at 100 watts per channel will have a rating of 100 watts per channel, five channels driven with a frequency response of 20Hz-20Khz with 0.05 THD. This a decent amp. A reciever that states 100 watts two channels driven at 1Khz with 1%THD is a poor amp and should be avoided.
