A pic for old days sake.

I had one hit with it and could immediately know this rubber was optimized for loop driving. Some players like that and this rubber will suit that well. Some players like me do not make every shot a Pebbles and Bam-Bam BANG-BANG loop drive... some it isn't for players who want to spin first...

To be honest, at the table, you do not want want hip rotation. You want to lean over forward bending at the waist with feet shoulder width apart and get the elbow in front bat open and back to side or front of belly button depending on where you setting the strike zone and naturally strike the...

Shashin has not yet told me he is ramping back up his San Ramon location after the Holidays... he might suddenly tell me and I suddenly gather a pile of Trouble Makers for that Bay Area TT Club Thunder Run this Sat though... ... or maybe I hasten that Thunder Run anyway, since I am a couple...

I give you a hint, the next 200 points you get this year will NOT come from suddenly developing a bad-azz BH or FH. Your gain will come from seeing the impact better, getting ball into strike zone better (and getting to position on balance ready knowing what shot to play), and from increasing...

...as for my health, I seem to ever increasingly get sudden chronic bouts of oldazzitis.

MaTT, EDIT ur post. You left out causing trouble. I expect that from you, we all do. :D

Drive 35 miles to the 1st Slavic Baptist this Friday or next Monday... or wait for next week Tuesday at Citrus Heights... ... or link up with me at 6 PM tonite to help me out at UC Davis... ... or go with me next time to San Ramon some Fri or Sat soon and accompany me and @dingyibvs and maybe...

Hi FF, Burn this image into your TT bat handle high up where you can see it all the time... do it on both sides.

Yes, a lot of my BH prep would show I have an open angle from the get-go on my hits and a lot of my BH topspins.

So many people in the past had the idea to do a BH that involved pivoting on the shoulder joint to use the upper arm and move that sucker all around thinking it gave them a longer lever and more leverage... that is so far from efficient biomechanics, but for decades, it was simply accepted as...

I have always been very public that Der_Echte is not good enough to use modern T05 on 98 percent of blades, and absolutely does not have the impact to properly use any Diginiski rubber. If OP wants a rubber with gears that lasts forever, has ease of making spin or hit... a clear choice is...

Hi Wrighty, I see a few things. The times it looked like you were trying to go cross court on your BH... you started with the hips and body squared towards the short side line direction or the middle T, instead of cross court. So when the ball comes to your natural strike zone, and you try...

Hi Wrighty, Pop a quick vid here or on vid safe thread. I have an idea or two what you are doing to result in this, but I would like to see your shot in action before I say anything. I would want to say it is how you are setting the strike zone/leverage (stance and arm/elbow position) and...

Hi TB, I was just at US Open and drove back 400+ miles, so no time soon. I think a lot of my TT crew is gunna want to play in San Diego Open 2024, which should be late April or early May I think. Might be 4-6 of us going there then do the Meiklejohn Seniors tourney the next week. it is very...

One of my TT goals in 2024 is the take one of the dudes I train (Ali) with me... and after one of the weekends I coach at San Ramon get @dingyibvs to meetup and go along with us on a Thunder Run to TTA, ICC, and Swan... causing trouble everywhere.

Der_Echte tends to advocate for such progressive little by little development of a shot where there are many moving pieces. Adults have a very hard time trying to get complicated process right by trying to do all the new steps at the same time when they haven't gotten down timing and...

Hey Dan, One of my TT goals for 2024 or some point would be to drop in on Dan's TT... get him to come along with me on a Thunder Run of TT clubs... (that is a powerful round of visiting) ... and when I enter the club first with Dan and any accompanying people... I will shout out loud...

Hey J-Slick, You can sneeze and get that many points this year. I think I donated away that many points in 2023. You are not gunna get the next two hundred in the way you stated, maybe some of it be the serve return, but it isn't gunna account for the next 200 you get in level... but you can...

My suggestion would be similar to TTS's good idea. Get a cheep sheet or three of H3... slobber sum baby oil on the sponge... leave it on a few days... that sponge will be 2-3 degrees softer - just right. The topsheet is already tacky and slow... So now you have a soft, control FH rubber that...
