Yeah, part of the reason I hadn't gotten around to changing that is because I see that FZD juts out his elbow quite a bit. But the coach told me that I should have my elbow at most 2 fists width from my body. I'm not traveling again until the end of the month so I want to attend some more...

Had a short practice session yesterday. The focus was on loading my right leg more and tightening grip at contact. Both improved, and overall consistency improved including in 2-pt drills. Next up is FH loop from BH corner. I noticed that the pros only have their left foot a little bit forward...

The main way to change form is more training, and less playing, especially playing right after training. To expand on this, you first need to train in as realistic of a setting as you can with the singular focus on what you need to change. It sounds like you're trying to fix just one thing so...

Had a practice yesterday, first in 3 weeks with a real person. The new FH form is coming along nicely! The extra waist rotation is almost completely gone, and the activation sequence has been nicely integrated. With the elimination of wasted motion, the power increased as well. Even my...

Nope. I was really hoping their robots would have more advanced software features, but it's actually pretty rudimentary, even more so than Butterfly's. They do update their software more often, but so far the new features have been fairly useless. The physical capabilities of the robot are...

Pretty busy with work since returning from my trip, but got another training session in yesterday. The new form is getting pretty settled in now, no longer requiring much thought. It felt natural to loop with my leg and not using waist rotation. This allowed me to focus on fine tuning other...

What's the YG serve?

Just musing a bit. After practicing the new form and thinking about it a lot, I've come up with a bit of a new approach to my "complete" BH and FH forms. On the FH side, I think the general feeling should be finding the ball with my right leg and then hitting the ball with my leg. It seems...

Hurricanes these days oxidize quickly. If you don't use protection sheets they'll lose their tack within a week. Use protection sheet though it'll keep the tack for the duration I use them for, which is ~3 months since I boost and that's about the time it's been reboosted enough that it's no...

I clean it at least once each session at the end, and use protection sheet consistently. The tack remains stable, but the grip is significantly less after 2-3 months. I play/train about 8-10 hrs a week. Grip and tack are simply two completely different things.

Just came back from a long trip, had a short training session vs the robot. The new FH form is looking good, so working on cementing it now. I was only able to get medium power single position shots with good consistency, so a lot of work still needs to be done. I'll be doing 2 positions next...

Yea I seal all my DHS blades, including multiple 968s, and some Butterfly blades as well. I also use fairly well boosted H3. I've had issues with DHS #15 sticking. Also zero splinters.

Watch Loki join those ranks :LOL:

They probably want Harimoto to be the first Japanese man to win the WTTC in I don't even know how long.

Had another solid practice Mon night. I'm now 2 weeks into my new FH training strategy, doing things by piecemeal. Last week's focus was on the legs, specifically weight transfer in a circular pattern, this week is on the body, specifically for it to move with the legs/hips instead of...

The issue was that China Post and HK Post stopped shipping small packages to the US. With or without the $800 exception nobody's really paying any tariffs anyway since they usually just declare the packages as gifts or a $500 value package for $3. As long as China/HK Post resume shipping...

I have an 89g ZJK ALC and an 85g TB ALC. The ZJK plays pretty much identical to my 89g Viscaria, soft feel, not too bouncy, crisp, nice but not amazing catapult with harder shots. The TB ALC has a harder feel, is significantly bouncier, crisp and has a bit better flex on harder shots but is...

Had a session at the Alameda club yesterday, first time in over a month. Man it's hard to play there occasionally, those Stiga tables are soooooo bouncy, it takes an entire session to get used to it lol. Too bad I won't have a chance to play there for probably another month, gonna be rough the...

It's not illegal to make or use non-ITTF approved equipment unless you're playing with it in ITTF sanctioned events. Do you have evidence that they were used in ITTF sanctioned events?

Thinking about Levenko's video re: knowing what type of player you are, I think I'm just an aggressive player, mainly due to a lack of patience. I used to think I'm very FH oriented, but now that I'm getting better with my BH, I'm getting super aggressive on that side as well. Basically in...
