  1. Need tips on how to improve my feeling/control

    Blades and rubbers certainly define what can and cannot well happen, but seeing the ball and getting to the right position on time with leverage and a clear idea of what to do with the ball count a lot more than equipment itself. Having said that, I will sound like an old TT grandpa by saying...

    Anyone looking at NL at first glance would be deceived about NL getting into position with leverage. He has real long levers and doesn't need to be in a classic position with more hip dip. He dips enough given his knees and it is enough. This also allows him to be compact when he wants to be...

    Like it or not, you have to convince Carl that you will be an asset instead of an azzhole. Carl has good judgement and is absolutely paid zero to be the admin and spam defender. (and azzhole regulator) Yes, I would agree with your base premise that not so many TTD forum members are gunna...

    Maybe the Pong Commenter will share vids, make a history of competently analyzing and showing players some obvious things... and thus show us all wrong... ...but until then, he is coming across as a dude with a TT paddle stuck forcibly up hiz tail end and coming out his mouth. That is not a...

    @PenHoldSandro What Lula is saying here is an exercise to get you to isolate things... to get you into feeling how it is to set position with elbow and upper arm and keep that stable during the BH stroke. This suggestion is pure Genius stuff in that it is VERY easy to do, costs you zero money...

    Hey @PenHoldSandro I see your practice BH... You are doing the shot much like a low power warm-up kind of like you are only trying to keep the ball on the table. Not much explosion, not much bat speed. You move your upper arm and shoulder during the stroke. That kind of stroke is OK for a...
