1/11/2023 I took @Brs comments to heart and hopped around like a silly rabbit at today’s session, even der noticed some of my both feet, small hops towards the ball @Der_ Echte tried to tire me out good today He is guilty as charged by feeding me my 3rd ball of a three ball multi sequence (to...

Thinking in terms of steps is possibly unhelpful. Steps are too slow. Watch the first two points of Miyu Nagasaki serving here https://youtu.be/RjhKScoDzJQ and see how she jumps into ready position moving both feet at once. You could choose any pro and see the same thing => i watched the video...

How do Wrighty? I want your BH mate! Looking good 👍 I particularly like the ones where your bat is ready early, perceiving the ball and striking it off the bounce, down the line. Compact and effective. Question: do you have a BH cross-court or was this match more strategic b/c Andy wasn’t...

Ah ... i forgot one minor detail IB66 ... at the start of each service return, i was 1.5 ~ 2' from my table-end. I wanted more time to think & react (at the expense of leverage, ESZ ...) what i realize now is about an arms length is good to start i have a lot of work to do on service return...

sometimes timing is interesting ... i am working on being deliberate & more intentional on my slow, spinny loops and here you provide pics & clarification on how TB does it. Next time at the table, i am going to play around with TB version for righties also i am working on pushes (start with...

Hey ahh IB66, for this slow but steady across the pond ... what am I suppose to get out of these centerfold pics? lol 😆

when a rightie serves (e.g. BH dTL) to my wide FH, the drill was to move my left leg at or pass the center-T, the stance then = more open, improved leverage & closer to ESZ the sensation to whip that ball FH dTL was limited successful yesterday ... although ones that landed made so much sense...

When my favorite wife asked me if I had fun Pinga Ponga all day today, I replied fun is a byproduct of getting better for me It is fun for me to handle a fast block back at me (off of my loop ) and not end the rally It is fun for me to be able to get back into position to loop a BH after a FH...

the most profound rhetoric i've heard from in a while ... and trust me, there's a lot of mambo jumbo coming thy way in truth you've said these to me before, somehow did not strike accord til today, they fit today and i see differently just need to figure out a way to give the monkey a task to...

thanks for the reminder mate there are a lot of ppl that would happily trade places with me when i consider my fortunes, i am grateful TT is jst a game, recreation and exercise, and allows me to time-out from life's responsibilities while hitting that little white ball back and forth Can you...

IB66, what are you doing? yah, you got the side spin correct since it's my BH cork screwing, i am thinking der means my ball jumped across his body a bit (rather than str8 at him), from his right towards his left btw that's a lot of reading and thinking to get the gist of it all...

after perusing your comments, i affirm one of your strength is setting proper expectation i think i judge myself hard i feel pressure (self induced) to be at a certain level it's time to decompress with some goof-off time 🏓

sry der i made a deal out of some things last night at this moment of my life, pinga ponga is important to me i was feeling anxious about jan league play and worried about not able (or ready) to perform to at least my training capabilities suhir told me i played terribly at doubles friday...

that's interesting & true SG in 2023 i am making it a habit figuring out what the other's weakness are and play to it

at the us open (ontario, ca) i interacted with kou many times i asked him about his leaving tta and starting his own academy, he answered i am thinking if you're curious and want to know, then look up on omnipong for his next tourney and approach him in person or look him up in the SF east...

also i am wondering if i were cementing a particular skill during training (e.g. waiting for the ball to come longer or drop mroe before looping that half-long ball) and can execute successfully 7 out of ten times then i go to round robin (higher stress, more random & competitive environment)...

To whom it may concern: on multiple occasions Der comment my BH loop (as you always do, every ball 😠) ohhh, that thing had some side-spin to it ... to which i say my standard line "i promise you it's not intentional ... (YET)" i am thinking now i would like to know (intentionally) how to...

man, i must have some pretty damn good serves then b/c my best spiniest serves are low spin (at best) and most are none spin LOL

so it behooves me to try set my ESZ every ball i think this ideal takes early perception of the ball (spin, depth, speed, which side ... difficult for me), racket preparation (incl bat angle) and the footwork to go towards ball path to set the ESZ after another marathon session, my body...

Tonight’s training session allowed me to appreciate setting ESZ (Effective Strike Zone) in a whole different way. While I realize it’s probably not realistic to think I can hit every ball in the middle of my ESZ, I can dream about moving to the ball better, maintaining a lower stance throughout...
