How to see the ball early ?

Research studies show these traits are the most common in internet trolls:

1) The need to be in the spotlight: narcissism: wants to be center of attention, don't care about other people, need other people to look at you.
2) Antisocial; Psychopothy: lack of empathy.
3) Machiavellianism: manipulating people for personal gain.
4) Sadism, getting off on harming others.

These are known as the dark tetrad.

Why do trolls troll:

1) Seeking conflict/attention factor: they want attention and negative attention is better than none at all.
2) Viciousness/nastiness factor: Malicious; pure sadism.
3) Low self confidence factor: trolling to get status.
4) Amusement factor: trolling just for the LULZ.

Solutions for dealing with trolls:

1) Band together and self police.
2) Learn to ignore obvious trolling posts: don't feed the trolls.
3) See it for what it is. Don't get sucked into the trolls behavior.
4) You have to ignore trolls. If the troll doesn't get the attention he is seeking the troll can lose interest.

Well, some trolls have proved quite persistent over years and years.

This information that you quoted from me is straight from that podcast on the psychology of internet trolling.

And it seems to me to fit perfectly with what adolifadison seems to be doing thus far. Certainly hijacking a productive thread while posting inflammatory remarks that don't actually mean anything but are meant to cause someone to react strongly in some way.

Without reading this thread, I will say something that will be so radically different, that there ought to be a government grant issued to study it for the next decade... or I will need to wear a plastic poncho and full face shield to protect myself from the eggs thrown my way.

BEND YOUR KNEES RIGHT BEFORE OPPONENT STRIKES BALL.

That allows you to see the ball better and more importantly, move without hesitation and more instinctively.

I remember you telling me this, I am trying to incorporate this as much as possible , the problem is my knees . I really play much better if I flex my knees to the level where my waist is in the same plane as the table ... however, the weight and the legs + older injuries don't do me any favors ... so I can play like this for and hour and half and then would need 2 days off to recover ...
