I do not think the TTD meetup is so worried about the LARC, my high toss serve that makes Next Level smile, nor any appearance of multiple kitty cats. I am probably 10 kg away from a much better fighting weight. At least now bending down to the ground to pick up stuff does not crush my internal...

I see Kairos has a Persson Power Play in his sig... PPP vs PPP is interesting.

I am 25+ kg less than my high weight of a few years ago, so there is less of me to go around. ALL of you TTD members can claim me... it is what I advertise everywhere I go and TT forums are GREAT for this kind of thing.

So the impact of taking the ball really late, it that you increase your difficulty/error rate trying to make fine, precise return and you make it way easier/predictable for opponent to attack you. My main point in articulating all these nuances is that is it REALLY worth it to wait to the last...

To go into a deeper answer about when to receive the underspin serve ball... with total disregard to spin... There are inherent disadvantages to taking the ball very late (when it is assumed spin is less). If you wait until last moment to impact the ball, here are some baddies you put upon...

I would go back to NL's earlier post where he advocates reading spin and choosing points of impact over knowing when spin is less. On serve receive for an example, against underspin, WAY better to take ball soon after the bounce. Why? Right after the bounce, there is max upward energy...

True. Banana easier with ball falling, straight flip better for top of bounce impact point. With the banana flip (bat tip is DOWN) it is so much better to allow the ball to drop, the more the better. WHY? The tip down banana flip has the moving upwards a lot... so if ball is falling, it has...

I meant to say their MNT Coach... a legend of steady BH play.

Thier men's KNT had a pretty serviceable BH...

Sometimes it is too late in the preparation cycle to do much more if not already done. One does what one can to make due of one's mental energy before matchday. Another way to help this is to go to tourneys with friends and a common supportive mission. Sometimes, if you are a veteran of...

Playing serious volleyball in position of LIBERO as a youth is some of the best falling down to ground and surviving the impact training for this.

Used PPP the last 2 years and bought TT11 out of their inventory multiple times as everyone around me wants and likes my setup in my sig... so I make them my bat at my cost... I am a terrible businessman and only an OK hyoo-man. :)

Innovative.

I start this thread to highlight to wonderful efforts and development of youth in the East bay California area. Der_Echte coaches part time in one of the area's big time youth training clubs - Freemont TTC. I get to see the developing talent growing there. Head Coach Shashin does so many...

Wow NL, I get it, sometimes, if the work/rest/relax cycle is Scheize, then match play is also scheize and we get what we asked for. What you did is almost exactly how I rolled in US Open... I played way too many matches away from schedule with friends, got next to zero sleep, and then played...

I have not re-built a beast in a good while. Maybe I do one for fun sometime later. Maybe I get myself ready for a few tourneys before I do that kind of stuff.

You will not die a horrible death with the setup I see you chose. Spend time learning how to to the basics of the sport well and see the ball to strike zone... and see the ball... and get to the spot to hit. Those are skills number 1 and 2 that will Trump all equipment decisions.

I started TT in my 40s and now am pushing 60 and coach both kids and adults. Of course you can do TT and get better. Do not over-worry about exact blade, get middle of the road... the Persson Power Play suggestion is middle of road, my preferred rubbers, Tibhar Aurus are also middle of road...

This thread is the classic Billionaires vs Millionaires argument.

Chinese... Downhill. Maybe start by defining what is downhill, maybe I have a different understanding of what downhill means.
