@Gill_Gross @ThreadOrder The best players "see" the ball earlier than others.

"Suboptimal" technique often saves time. e.g a short swing might result in less power, but a faster preparation phase.

To what extent does player technique derive from their "eye"?

Can the eye be trained?

@HenryEOliver Have often wondered this! It would also be interesting to see an analysis of how the change in writing technologies has affected prose. I.e, the typewriter and word processor versus the pen...

[Carl Alexander @basmatilice]

@banishplumpjack Sometimes I think what looks like bad writing by these models is succesful satire of poor human prose.

@banishplumpjack what's the trick?

[Carl Alexander @basmatilice]

@gbrl_dick I'm positive pickleball would be more fun played with giant table tennis paddles and a big plastic ball?

[Carl Alexander @basmatilice]

@forsaken_hog @banishplumpjack yeah this is really good. actually, a lacuna to be filled tbh

[Carl Alexander @basmatilice]

@banishplumpjack Mmmm, I think in general rewarding people for making correct if obvious choices is good practice. Should never take people doing the right thing for granted.
