在练习过程中,反手反撕的问题仍然比较突出:摩擦过多而撞击不足,摩擦太薄导致容易下网或出界,拍面击球点位置偏低,重心偏高
正手拉球基本稳定,发力可以拉出质量很高的球。未来需要逐渐将动作幅度变小,用尽可能小的动作打出尽可能高质量的球,还有注意快速还原、长短变化和节奏变化

The decarbonize faster, let renewables firms make money
Amid the misery war in Ukraine and the global energy crisis, there is a glimmer of good news. The green transition has speeded up. True, a spike in natural-gas prices fueled greater demand for coal, the dirtiest fossil fuels. But it also led consumers to use energy more efficiently. And, more significantly, it spurred investment in renewables around the world. As a happy consequences, the green transition may have accelerated by five to ten years. Yet the remarkable thing is that the transition could have proceeded at a faster pace still. Even as the governments have loosen purse-strings, they have begun to blunt the incentives to invest. One problem is obtaining permits. Endless delays stop firms that want to invest from breaking ground. (Denmark stopped processing all applications for projects like offshore wind, after a dawning realization that it may be in breach of EU law.) The gains from cutting red tape are large. The bigger problem is that some renewables providers are now rethinking their investments altogether, because energy projects are becoming less attractive as price caps and various taxes (windfall tax), together with rising costs, are pulling them off. Bloated costs, pushed up by post-lockdown rebounds and war-induced disruptions, would be manageable if they could be passed on. But the governments are increasingly micromanaging power markers to keep prices low, or to raise revenue of their own. The results has been squeezed profits. The four largest Western turbine-makers are losing money and some renewable generators are struggling to make money. This is clogging up project pipelines. Governments are keen to keep power prices low today, but that may be a false economy if it reduces the renewables spending needed for tomorrow. All this means that, if investing is to stay attractive, green power will need to be sold at higher prices than governments would like. If the energy transition is to happen fast, there must not be a race to the bottom.
It is so easy to overestimate the importance of one defining moment and underestimate the value of making small improvements on a daily basis.
Habits are the compounding interest of self-improvement.
Your outcomes are a lagging measure of your habits.
Breakthrough moments are often the result of many previous actions, which build up the potential required to unleash a major change. Similarly, habits often appear to make no difference until you cross a critical threshold and unlock a new level of performance, which can be a great challenge to your patience.
