Hi Der, When I watched the latest vids I was like 'wow LDM7 is really moving in the right direction' things just looked so much better, compliments to yourself and LDM7. Judging LDM7 against players that I have been involved in coaching (& yeah everyone is different) I would put LDM7's progress...

Chalk and Cheese LDM7 !!! Man, you are looking and playing soooo much better than the 1st Video you posted months ago!!! Serves are really improving, shot selection, consistency, spin levels, open ups, movement. You look more fluid, etc etc Nice work over the last months, keep it going...

£30 to £40 per hour depending on the coach.

I think that the arc height over the net, both high and low should be in your arsenal of shots. I agree with Next Level, practice and experiment!!! Taking the ball earlier at the top or just before the top of the bounce, as PPP states, usually results in a lower arc, maybe not even an arc in...

Cheers for the compliments LDM7. After this match I started to get some private coaching!! Way too inconsistent and poor movement. I gave the games away. Things are improving, but slowly slowly slowly, not helped by the knees !!!

One day after you’ve slapped down the opponents and whilst downing a few pint we can discuss that the only true reds are Liverpool FC !!!! (And that’s coming from a ‘plastic Scouser’ [someone that’s never been to Liverpool!!!]). 🤣

There you go!!! I’ll mostly be in hiding for the next few months, only venturing out when I feel it’s safe enough to do so!!!!😂

Tonight I was a TROUBLE MAKER - unfortunately causing myself all the trouble!!! Played a young lad that I have coached on and off over the last year and trained with over the last 3 years, So we know each other’s game and strong and weak points, his ranking is 563, mine 647 ( 1 point more than...

Wednesday night is my 2nd (& thankfully) last match of the week. My ranking (specific to this league, non transferable as it were) is 646, opposition’s top 2 players (if they play) are 904 & 850ish​​​​​​’ so it’s going to be a fairly tough night, having said that, one of those better players I...

You could try SDC, Sergio will be able to make up a blade that has Hinoki outer ply combined with inner ply's that will bring the speed into the range that you are looking for. He made one for me a year or so ago with Hinoki top ply, from memory the frequency of the blade (relates to base speed)...

Hi LDM7, hope you played well !!! Tonight I played 3 singles and the doubles, overall we won the match 6-4. I managed to win 2, both against opposition of similar, but slightly higher ranking 20 - 30 points higher, Their best player is ranked 132 points higher. I played him first, cruised the...

Hi LDM7, Good to see you are training hard!!! like yourself my brain thinks my body is 18 and my body feels more like it's 75yrs old rather than 56!!!!! During the summer, BRS visited London, He put out a post asking for some venues he could visit whilst in London, visited a couple of venues...

I did try- Joola TPE Perform - Hinoki, koto, Carbon, Ayous (5+2) Joola TPE Nature - Limba, Ayous, Ayous, Ayous, Ayous, Ayous, Limba (7 ply) For someone of my ability, these blades played very similarly, feeling, speed etc despite the completely different composition of each blade, I could pick...

Remember that the hardness quoted is generally for sponge only. Rubber top sheets can be hard or soft, thick or thin, tight or more spaced pimple structure grippy or tacky etc etc. So depending on the top sheet ‘formula’ a modern rubber with a harder sponge, such as Andro R53, it doesn’t...

Hi LDM7 Hope you are well !! How’s the training and match play going? Here in England, the season has started up, local leagues, tournaments etc Week before last I had 3 league matches and 2 coaching nights, (by the way a club mate and myself passed the TTE level 1 coaches course!! So now we...

You could try H8-80, more lively than H3, but you may feel sponge is a little soft, 37 and 38 degree sponges. Xiom Tau 2 is another good rubber, gets overlooked sometimes. good spin, reasonable tackiness, more 'bouncy' than H3, less bouncy than D09C and other 'hybrid' rubbers, but a tad less...

With the activation of the core muscles, by a grunt or whichever way you choose, perhaps you will need to pick the moment, or be aware when during a rally you can do it. Time available is likely to be a factor in this. For Tennis players they generally have more time available between strokes...

I tense up when playing FH loop way more than I would like to admit!!!! 30+ years ago I can’t remember that happening, never found myself tensing up when I played badminton. But since I started playing TT again, it’s not so much crept in, i noticed it as soon as I started playing again and...
