Best quote i've seen so far on this forum. Thumbs up!

Best advice i've been so far. It's very critical us all to get into the ready position after service. It's good to have couple of good serves up your sleeves, but i'd say for amateurs, who haven't master side spins, should just stick to pure underspin ball and no spin ball for better execution...

Haha. i guess since Zhang Jike is back, people go crazy with Viscaria now. :) Very good, very good.

You don't try to control your wrist on contact point for extra spin. Just loose it up, the swing momentum will do the rest. When you try to focus on wrist control, you'll lose focus on your hips and arms. Do some experiments with this, and you'll see what i mean. Cheers.

can't agree with you on this one. The index finger has to touch the blade 100% for ball feeling. How can you feel the vibration with just the tip of your index touching the blade? Relaxed wrist has nothing to do with the index finger anyway. Very odd advise you're giving out here.

Jumping is bad, pushing forward is good. Though some people might have this idea mixed up.

It's okay my friend. It's okay! :)

My swings before were way worse than yours, and i often exhausted myself squeezing all my muscles when swinging. It still happens to me today when i try to go for faster loops and i'm still working on it everyday. During match play, this happens more often because i'm not concious about it. But...

1:08. I hope it looks somewhat similar. :)

Thanks for the constructive criticism dear friend! When i post this video, i was hoping to see how people analyse the details of my shots so i can draw some good insight out of it. Anyway, my dear friend, it took me almost 4 years to achieve that so little "thing" in the video clip i just...

My attempt at body weight loop. With super relaxation. :)

It's a very interesting point you brought up here. This type of footwork only applies for on table opening loop, especially for back spin balls, where you have your right foot under the table and your left foot behind. The push back of the right foot at the moment of contact is an indication...

Thanks. That sounds like my type of tackiness. I suppose Colett glues the top sheet to the sponge himself? if so, when we tune the sponge, how does that affect the glue layer?

How tacky is the 999 top sheet?
