Great progress on your serving skills, Tim!

And yes, it is difficult with the magnifier and hand coordination. 

For the moment I use x2 magnifiers, which is manageable. I tried the x3 but then everything got very distorted.

 

Keep it up!

I do have an Optivisor style head mounted magnifier, which I find can help to see things more clearly, but I do find it difficult to get the hand / eye co-ordinated when magnified, again I probably need to practice

Yes it does require a bit of practice to learn to keep everything within the focal range. But as your ropes get smaller, I found it really helps with getting things right.

I just checked and mine are X3, that could be part of my problem... I will see if I can get other lenses for this model.
