Need to know how much should I max pay for this raquet, also if any physical stores with good offers and with offers with strings ?
Upgrading from AStrox 27i (as it gave me tennis elbow, and I have improved a lot in the last few months).
I really do not know if the mods in this sub are active or not, but the number of posts on this sub that are not even remotely "BEGINNER RUNS" are crazy, we all know bro you run good and fast, but I feel the whole "inspire new runners" part is lost when someone posts sub 45min 10k, half marathons etc.
People need to be motivated, not demotivated by over achivers that set unrealistic goals over here, it can be very frustrating, when I first started running this entire sub helped me do my first ever 3k and 5k, every now and then there would be posts about staying in zone 2, extremely low heart rate very decent 10ks, which honestly would make me question myself, and I am pretty sure many other new members see the same and get demotivated.
I think anything more than a decent 10k or a longer run belongs to the other sub, we are not closing doors, but we are opening windows for people to check what real progress looks like, not some top of the class football player getting back to running after 1 week of rest and flexing his sub 18min 5k.
Message for the karma whores :-
In my opinion there are tons of dedicated run subs out there where you can do all the karma farming you want, your unrealistic beginner runs do not belong to this sub.
Message for the beginners:-
Do not entertain these karma farmers by upvoting. Way too many unrealistic run reports out here.
Started running last year, but have been in and out a lot, maintained decent mielage in Feb and March, but took a break for over 3 months, just ran a 5k last week, broke some records but got a runners knee today.
How do I prevent this from happening, I feel like I have a weak knee that keeps going bad everytime there is an acitvoty spike in my life. It is kinda depressing man, it feels like this right knee of mine never ever really heals up, I have paid around 300$ on this knee last year alone, MRIs, Ultrasounds, X-ray and what not, my doc always says that it is alright and it will be alright in a couple weeks.
There are like 12+ different "back in stock" posts here posted in the last 3 days, stop the spam posting/promoting,
We get it !! You’re excited about your new plastic brewer, but eventually, in a few weeks, after struggling with “specialty” "pre-ground" beans and choking down a few sour, under-extracted espresso shots because your forearms gave up on the manual process, it’ll probably end up sitting on a shelf anyway. THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT FIRST TOOL/MACHINE TO GET INTO THIS HOBBY.
Stop with the FOMO creation for a mid espresso brewer. Nanopresso was never supposed to be an everyday espresso setup anyway.
Not gatekeeping, but stop posting the stupid, "mene bhi khard liya fraaandsss" posts, this sub needs, more quality posts, infact atleast try posting your brew instead of lame flipkart screenshots.

Edit:
To all folks who want to get into coffee brewing hobby, the kaldipress (or aeropress) paired with a good grinder (Timemore c2/c3) is a way way way better alternative. Using pre ground coffee with the nanopresso is only going to frustrate you.
Edit 2:
Never asked anyone here to stop purchasing this, but the entire "get this while stock lasts" (meanwhile they are going out of stock every day and suprisingly coming back to stock the next day) is creating FOMO for people trying to get into coffee or even espresso, if you have a capable grinder or nespresso pods, get this, nanopresso makes really good shots. but again, if you are looking for better alternatives to espresso like or you really enjoy milk based espresso drinks then check this video out - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgIVfU0xBjA&t=528s
Edit 3:
You guys are sick man, no need to give death threats and slurs on DMs, I am reporting and closing my DMs. Did not expect a simple text post to trigger some of you.
Have not been able to find any of these ECP or Stilosa varient machines from Delonghi from verified suppliers, the one on flipkart has no reviews.
Thanks in advance.
Hi guys, I am selling my second grinder, timemore c2, great for pourover and aeropress.
Have not used it a lot honestly, maybe used it for the last 8-9 months only because I was kinda in and out of coffee (and now I am addicted).
Reason for selling - Upgrading to a G5
It has a few scuffs and a very minor dent. Everything fits perfectly and the grinder is fully functional (Please take a look at all pictures).
Have never used WDT on beans with this grinder, never cleaned it WITH WATER as well, so no rust as seen on pictures.
Asking - 2400 Rs + courier cost (PAN India), but I am based in Hyderabad so you can do a f2f as well.
Have a budget of around 6.5k max, will purchase if there are dents and stuff to the body, but strictly no rust anywhere.
