Hi Matt, great game to watch!! one thing I noticed was that your serves were almost all on the same line, not enough variation of placement. You played pretty well, you’ll come on leaps and bounds in the future!!

I use a SDC 7+2 ply defensive blade, so it’s an ‘inner’ carbon blade. The carbon is there to try and increase the sweet spot rather than speed. 2 wood outer plies,carbon, 3 wood core plies, carbon, 2 wood outer plies.

I feel it is proof of your ability, it puts some honesty out there, people can then judge your comments based on ability. Having said that, one could be a poor player, or unconventional but have excellent knowledge of the sport and have great technical knowledge of how to produce strokes, move...

Hi Wrighty, Can see some improvements for sure!! Dave is a tough cookie, you did well to get a game off him. Against Leyon, you did well to come back after losing the 1st set, you played well, gave hIm some issues with your BH serve and capitalised on it. My guess is that he has played for a...

Hey NL great to see you playing!! I think maybe I’ve seen you play once before, if I’ve got it right? Carl, Der and yourself goofing off playing doubles with that trouble maker Matt Hetherington when he rocked into town and shook the dojo up???!!! Looking solid, BH is nice, once you got FH...

Never used the VKMO, but, I do have a Stiga Def Pro. It's a very nice blade, definitely for the modern defensive player who likes to attack as well. You can loop well with it, has enough speed, especially when closer to the table, looping from further away and it's obviously going to be harder...

TOPSPIN V BACKSPIN, don't try this at home!!!

Everyone is different, so like writing a equipment review, take it with a pinch of salt!!!! But I can only comment on how I FEEL about being ‘nervous’ I have played some type of competitive sport since age 13/14 I did a little reading before writing this, because I had to get a better...

Primorac carbon is my GUESS!!!!

Hi Wrighty, Do you see that his elbow is almost fixed in position, very little or no upper arm movement, the elbow forms a centre point for the forearm and hand to anchor to and turn around. Of course when using a fast action there is some movement but it’s pretty minimal. This is what NL is...

Hey Tiz, IF EJing is your thing, you may like the thread "Calling all EJ's!!! list the equipment tried over the past 2yrs"

For maximum spin, the ball is taken later as the ball drops. For some more flexibility, giving a couple of options, taking the ball at peak of bounce allows you to play a spiny ball and the option to play a faster ball.

Hey NL Great that you are playing matches. Maybe you will get the camera going and post a match on the ‘how did I win or lose match thread’!!!!! Maybe the reference to H3 Neo will tip Sergey Scoobie Doo Toos into actually posting something!!!!!

See if you can use your phone, or iPad portable device. Freeze frame at certain points, let’s say for example when she is about to start the ’hitting phase’ Get some of Carls mirror work going, check your position in the mirror v her position. Do this for various points, get The ‘feel’ of these...

Hi Wrighty, Perhaps both strokes could be a little more compact, with regard to finishing position. A fast return to ready position can also be practiced. compact stroke plus fast return to ready position = you gain some time and are better placed to play the next shot. Some more use of the...

Hi BRS, Great that you posted a match, and nice to see you playing!! And playing well. Tough opponent. As NL said he just looked like he was almost disinterested, nonchalant. Maybe that’s just his way. Usually when someone has this demeanour they have either seen you play and assessed...

My set up weighs 207grams Rakza Z EH max on FH Rakza Z max on BH SDC defensive 7 + 2 ply blade, longer handle than standard plus the Dotec wings add a bit of weight, but because of the longer handle, balance is low, so it’s not really head heavy.

Note, weight transfer is more upwards and stays more on her right foot. Timo has 3 variations 1) diagonal forehand slower spinny topspin v backspin (this is the stroke demonstrated in Toms vid) 2) parallel forehand topspin against backspin with one leg forward. 3) parallel forehand topspin...

Next match is on Thursday, slow week, only 2 coaching sessions and 1 match. We are playing a team 2nd in our division, we are 5th. Our best player is out of the country on business, but we have a young junior who will be playing. He's good enough to win a couple of games, it will be interesting...
