The Key to Better aging: More NAD+
Most skincare works on the surface. Aramore goes where real aging begins: the basal layer of the skin, where new cells form. Backed by decades of research from Harvard and MIT scientists, Aramore is the first topical system designed to support skin’s NAD+ — the molecule your cells rely on for repair, energy, and resilience.
As NAD+ naturally declines with age, visible changes follow: dullness, uneven tone, fine lines, and loss of firmness. Aramore’s unique complex of NAD+ precursors, ketones, and fatty acids helps replenish cells at the source for skin that acts healthier and younger.
Clinically shown to improve tone, radiance, smoothness, and firmness as soon as 28 days.
Tip of the day
Transitioning from intermediate to advanced play requires shifting from reactive habits to proactive strategies that anticipate your opponent's next move.
When you realize you have popped up a crosscourt dink, the most effective recovery is to slide toward the middle while committing to a backhand position to prevent getting jammed in the chest.
Being proactive also means aligning your paddle tip toward the ball when it is on your opponent's side, allowing you to counter speed-ups with minimal reaction time.
Against opponents who lean into the kitchen to volley your shots, a well-timed lob can be a game-winning counter as their forward momentum makes it nearly impossible to retreat.
In the midcourt, replacing inconsistent wrist flicks with a steady elbow-driven roll ensures more reliable top spin and keeps the ball in play even when it is low.
Developing an awareness of your partner's dinking rhythm is also crucial; if you sense they are becoming erratic, taking a step back off the line gives you the necessary time to neutralize an incoming attack.
Key points
Slide toward the middle with your backhand ready if you pop up a dink to avoid being jammed.
Point your paddle tip at the ball on the opponent's side to proactively prepare for sudden speed-ups.
Target an opponent's chest during speed-ups to exploit the natural opening between their forehand and backhand.
Use a lob as a green-light counter when you see your opponent leaning forward to take balls out of the air.
Master the midcourt roll by locking your wrist and using your elbow to generate consistent top spin.
