Damn, Sora looking like WCQ there against Harimoto with his big lefty FHs off the bounce.

I've started going to the clubs a bit more often the past week or so, playing some matches, trying to work some of my recent advances into games, particularly my BH. My FH is progressing well in practice, but it's definitely not my default yet. Even in practice it takes a while before I find...

My BH was basically at zero, so I guess it's from everywhere :LOL: I got one coaching session, where I learned a few things, and the rest was just many, many hours of experimentation. Of the things I learned from the coach, there were two major points which took up most of my practice time and...

It's easy to make the stickers, but are the codes written on them verifiable? That picture you showed doesn't really demonstrate that.

Well, FH is naturally stronger than BH. I just want my BH to be strong enough that even when it's the lesser of two evils for my opponents that I can still crush them with it, or as my competition improves, be good enough to create opportunities for my FH.

My focus over the past year+ has been on my BH, and it's finally starting to become a weapon in my game. It's been steadily getting better, but the issue is that it needed to be better than my push+defend+step around game to be useful, and now it's finally there. In my recent practices, I've...

LOL you don't need to worry about that. My $400+ order was declared at $15 last time.

I don't think you understand how hard it is to find a training partner in much of the US 😂

I would suggest getting a Pongbot Nova robot plus a couple coaching sessions. Use the coaching sessions to learn the right technique, then use the robot to practice. IMO for every hour of coaching you need at LEAST 10 hrs of practice, and $500 at where I live can't only get you on average 6...

What's your budget?

I used to put very thin wires and then tape them in place with gorilla tape. Now that I hold the racket higher up I don't really have an issue with balance anymore.

Right, I think he's brushing a bit too much. W968 + H3 is made for very thick contact. The W968 naturally creates an arc when you're hitting the ball. That's the biggest adjustment I need to make when I switch between the W968 and the Vis. Hitting too much into the blade with the Vis will...

Yes, it's a Pongbot Omni Pro (orange black)

Which table is that? I have a Joola Inside 25 which has been working great. Combined with the new Pongbot robot I feel like my playing abilities have entered a new rapid improvement phase. Can't give all the credit to Pongbot though, the Amicus served me well as well, helped me develop a lot...

Of course, I still expect them to keep playing, which is why I thought them coming over for a season would be great for the sport! If it conflicts with their schedule then even part of a season would be great.

With FZD and CM retiring, any chance of getting them to come over for a season? They don't really need money or prestige, so would just be promoting the sport and I think MLTT would be a good avenue to do so.

I see, do you feel that the D80 is for sure faster than the D05? I'm having the opposite issue, playing a bit too far from the table. I trained to take a step back after I make an opening loop, but for whatever reason I've now developed a habit of taking a step back even after the re-loop, which...

So what are you working on these days? How do you like the Vis SALC + D05 combo? It's quite a step up in speed compared to your previous setup, were you looking to accentuate a strength or cover up a weakness? On my end, I tried out the FZD ALC today. After playing with the Vis for a total...

Loop backspins. If possible, add movement before the loop as well as randomness.

So now that I've changed my grip to much higher on the handle, I'm having a bunch of new realizations. First is that the shoulder of the blade really matters. I just took out my FZD ALC and it felt much better in my hand with its smaller shoulder compared to the Vis. Second is that with the ball...
