  1. blade is too head-heavy for me - any tipps?

    Hi @exotick In general, those who have very large straight arm (start position) powerful swings tend to better utilize and like a head heavy setup. Those who use their wrist a lot, particularly when playing shots over the table tend to dislike head heavy setup... ... however, some are...

    @NextLevel just said several juicy things. About pros/cons of taking ball later to block... Pros: More time to see ball and be in position - maybe helps consistency Cons: Gives opponent much more time, greatly reduces angles to use against opponent, MUCH more difficult to manage incoming spin...

    Glad to hear @dingyibvs seeing results of discovering what was needed, the training, and the impacts of it.
  4. Forgetting form during games

    Some members of the forum would state loudly and enthusiastically that if you had long pips, that you would have new and great advantages in match play... and maybe never have to face this. Maybe you and a few friends can empirically test this thinking with a one month trial of using long pips...

    I remember that hall, real damn difficult for me to play that hall, way too loud - could not time shyt that day. Still, NL had few problems and deserved his easy way over me - all I did waz complain that day instead of enjoying friends. 5 years after this vid, I was maybe 30 lbs heavier... now...

    James does not benefit from serving last... but James plays his best when he gets 2-6 or 3-7 down in a game... whatever issues in concentration he has seem to evaporate in those situations.
  7. Choice between T05fx, rozena and T19

    @AlexisN , You have a great combination for a bat that even a well advanced player can play.... I slapped a sheet of 05FX on my FH of my wood blade and it is almost like a cheat code does everything so damn easy... I only need to be in position. If you have the funds or can borrow someonez bat...
  8. What are your top annoyances about assembling your own table tennis bats?

    @The_TT_Bat_Guy , OK, you can be right in that even a little small easy thing to someone not well versed in the doing of it can view it as a mountain of a challenge. I also can accept complaining about the process... it is almost like Patriotic Speech. Complaining about things is so natural...

    @Jslick89 , do you remember how many times I served 9-9 or 9-7 ??? There waz a reason to the madness from the get-go.

    @Jslick89 , you and Brian play a VERY similar style... you both like fast exchanges at the table or a step away. You both like to counter hit with big swings. Maybe you have differences in serve receive ability. You both really hate hate hate hate slow heavy topspin. I did not use that so much...

    I cannot with conscience believe this thread actually was legit started and lasted this long. Anyone can figure this simple stuff out on their own with only a tiny effort and research.

    I coach (or have coached) at one of those Bay Area clubs where the head coach keeps all the players in a closed loop U150 or U300 or U450 until they are legit 1600-1800 and unleashed on the big natl tourneys like US Open or nationals... but they gotta go through 4-6 of those ringers too...

    Another adjustment waz to attack BEFORE Der_Echte... and that is in general a pretty damn good policy.

    J-Slick wanted it so damn bad you could see it and even Stevie Wonder could see J-Slick put hiz-self in a position to threaten Der_Echte. Any competent person watching could see J-Slick being brave and also adjusting during the match. One of J-Slick's adjustments was to stay the F away from...

    TROUBLE MAKER YOU !!! Yes, J-Slick caused me sum trouble in league, the score in games deceiving, he really adjusted and was close to winning every game. I think I would cause Brian more trouble than you J-Slick. For the record, J-Slick returned 10 of my heavy shots that would normally...

    The next level of all this (pun intended and un-intended) is that the bottom and middle levels play many levels better than they were before... but their ratings are mostly the same, since the entire field for the most part is better. A significant chunk of Cali 1500 level players are now...
