Hi all - by way of follow up I am posting a short clip of a match I played last night vs a defender (Lost 3-1) Obviously this gave me more time to anticipate but I can still see problems with the high balls coming back to my BH that caused me some issues! https://youtu.be/nBzerA7lwPw

Bump

Thanks Carl - what you say makes complete sense to me, and is what I am feeling when in these situations. It is always much worse in league matches than practice matches, so pressure seems to play a part in me being rooted and not real sting fast enough (I have pretty good reaction speed normally)

I’ve always thought FZD mental game was a big strength of his. In my view what sets ML apart from most of his fellow players is his tactical game and ability to read and then make subtle changes to what he’s doing - high TT EQ.

Thx - I’ll try that for sure.

I am interested in exploring this, as have seen you mention it before - typically my approach and that advocated by mu coach has been to counter the spin, so for left hand backhand serve or rh pendulum I would be hitting the right hand top of the ball and not the left as you advoacate. If I...

Yes - seems my coach reached the same conclusion as we did almost all multi ball this morning :-)

That’s a really on point observation - thanks!

You’re correct and a good idea to start receiving further back as a decent amount of serves are long in this league -then maybe I’ll stay further back!

Thanks - agreed. Proximity to the table probably easiest to fix first I guess given I’m mid season

Thanks all for some great replies - lots to consider. I definitely can benefit from better “movement” targeted warm up and also more solid shadow practice. @NextLevel I am sure you are correct on the anticipation, but also sure that my shot quality is negatively impacted by lack of space at...

Hi all I have worked for the last 24 months on the technical side of my game over all else - made decent headway on both wings. This is evident in practice drills and also to a lesser extent in my doubles play. Where it is in less evidence is in my singles play, and in particular vs better...

Still liking my sheets very much - probably more now than when I started. I am putting a new sheet of H3 BS 40 on a blade next week to try and make some more meaningful comparisons and make a call as to which I play - right now it's a tough call. C55 is, for me, much better than D09c and feels...

I found Mizutani ZLC to be significantly faster and harder to control than Viscaria - it felt good but I didn’t play well with it.

I have been doing similar with the Q and S vs my regular Vis (which I think is a good one and have always liked) Bottom line is the Q is the balanced option and plays much better than W across both wings in my view. The S I had hoped would be the answer to my Vis, but although it felt faster...

Me too - I have also got a golden vis on order from another source but am keen to see how a Vis made for FZD compares, as I assume it is top quality. We will see...

That's good to hear - he is a decent guy in my experience. I suspect that some of his blades are not held by him and so he arranges the supplier to send directly (which explains why most of the time it takes a week to ship) I have a national team blade on the way from him right now - the first...

D64 and D05 are both the same sponge hardness and both are already fairly hard at 40d Butterfly (vs 36 for T19) I have played all of these and to call D64 mushy is very strange - it’s pretty hard in my view and certainly not lacking in top end power or speed (Much faster than MX-P top end)...

See what he says and send him pics - I’m surprised at this from him.

My provincial 968 I owned had plastic wrap and code for validation so I’m pretty sure you should have that - if you don’t then my bet is that’s a used blade. Where did you buy it?
