I would think ur friend would get re-rated to around mid 1500s and gain/lose points from there. Prolly end up losing around 10-15 points after ratings adjustment.

So here is what your friend did...

U R right, had him mixed up. Your friend defeated E. Popov, who is one tough cookie for his level, a very good win... but he lost to two local Sac players who in my opinion should lose 0-3 to your friend. LDM7 beats these two like a drum. OK, well, not like a drum, but I always see LDM winning...

Looks like ur friend also defeated Johnny Yam, one of my friends i see a lot. Johnny is for the last few years a consistently 2000+ rated player. Yet, you will see some matches or entire tourneys where Johnny gets wild hairs up hiz azz and decides to go wild cowboy for points, game, or entire...

Hi @NextLevel , That small TT club probably has the best lighting for play conditions you will ever see in a tt club. The walls are close, they have carpeting or something halfway up the wall, background in not white, lights are diffused, plentiful enough, not overly bright. It all adds up to...

Hi IB66, I wouldn't say he is turning the corner and getting results in tourney play (although he is at the USATT1000 level)... LDM7's base level is way higher than his tourney performances that resulted in his current USATT rating that is prolly 700 points below his training and club play...

I simply LUV playing vs anti or OX LP players... unless they are better level AND take the ball quick off bounce and rush me. Sometimes I still do well vs that type, but I do not like being under time pressure if I can help it.

Was he named Adrian? I showed up mid-tourney was not able to see everything except the several players I was trying to help. LDM7 won U3100 doubles with Danny Yip. He clearly made his best strides in transferring improvement in training and club play into tourney performance. He could not...

Tip 11... is a good idea after some fundamentals are in order... it only helps make it more intuitive to play vs pips players. Tip 12: recommend a 4 week ban for mentioning this unmentionable thing.

I was at the Sacramento Open today and here are the two biggest overall things I saw... Many adult players who like to hit or loopdrive it over spinny slow/heavy faced youth players who attack with hit or loopdrive or counter or defend well vs that ball in a rally... ... and time and time...

Hi @dingyibvs , Yes, Swan has that league thing going with teams from wither Swan players, some other club players, or a company. I did that league in 2017 when I first got to California in 2017... @ttmonster was the team captain and we had good players on the squad. You BH and FH performance...

Saw this on youtube feed... This is the very kind of thing people on TT forums should be discussing a LOT moar.

I see you play Aurus Soft... so of course whatever you get will fit or you have the skillz to make it fit.

Well Diego, I would let the bat speak to answer your valid question after you give me one of your long underspins... and it would speak a language of extreme high spin and control.

Just official ITTF speak... the rubber is called a covering. My signature shows a $30 blade and under $30 rubbers for an über-günstig battle weapon.

Der_Echte would bring his Short Pips, hiz Medium Pips, his OX and Thin LP, and of course hiz Aurus covered bats. :D

Haraold, Ur Bavarian ways are right up my alley.

@J-Slick To be fair, even their paid staff must pay $8 each time to use that parking lot.

I did not register as I thought I would be in Boston during the tourney, still might be, but if I am here, I will be at Sac Open for some of it.

The Bay Are is unique, so many foreigners whose culture is very friendly towards learning TT and paying for it... and nearly all of them can afford it easily. In USA, you always hear stories of rags to riches for athletes in Baseball, Basketball, and American Football... but you will never hear...
