Will experiment, thanks monster, my grip may be the culprit

With my current grip, my pushing with FH side pops ball up. Perhaps the grip is hampering my blade angle when pushing which pops the ball up. I probably will change grips soon. LOL

With a TPB curled grip, i cannot RPB well. This makes me think of the 2 approaches to RPB: one where you always spin, the other you block/punch/flat hit/spin. With the TPB grip, I can't block/punch/flat hit that well. I didn't really try spinning only though. WIll have to test this out. I will...

Very cool on Princess suds!! Very cool on Chen. I didn't remember I've watched him before from a previous time you posted about him suds. Thank you JeffM and suds... I will fiddle with my grip more as my current hampers my FH pushing.

Played Mark Berg ... I'm slowly getting there ... 5, -13, -15, -8 I may have the scores wrong, but it's close enough to real scores. Despite the loss, I made some improvement, which is all I want. Not looking to beat him per se. Played my friend that other members say I should beat but he just...

For me, I'm guessing i have a weak foundation. My strokes are not perfect form. Here's one example: My FH stroke when warming up. I don't have a specific drop point. It's generally on the FH side, but varies as my stroke is not quite the same. Perhaps I didn't do enough multiball when I was...

Hello: Forum member and friend 42andbackpains didn't play for 6 months due to his back. I didn't play in 3 weeks, spent 2 weeks in Hong Kong and 1 week recovering from jet lag. I'm the type that if i don't play in 3 days, I lose my timing/touch/game. We both played like 1200 players. As...

Hello DTT CCers! 42andbackpains didn't play for 6 months due to his back. I didn't play in 3 weeks, spent 2 weeks in Hong Kong and 1 week recovering from jet lag. I'm the type that if i don't play in 3 days, I lose my timing/touch/game. We got together for a secret Goon Squad training mission...

Good luck Sir!

Great question PierreAd! My father played with his friends as I watched when I was a kid. He as well as his friends played PH. In Middle School and High School (~age 11+, grades 6-12, before College/University), I played with classmates/friends as there was a table in our school's gym. During...

In Hong Kong for about 10 days, JeffM is in Australia :( ... any DTT CCers in HK want to give me 9 points? :)

In Hong Kong for a little over a week ... sadly JeffM is in Australia :( Any PHers in HK?

Prior to my switch to RPB, my TPB directional block and punch were a big part of my game! So imagine my surprise when I am doing the correct stroke. somehow the ball pops up high!

I tried some TPB tonight... strangely all my shots went high!! Maybe I should follow suds' advice and just play RPB 100% of the time with no TPB

The most important factor is that your wrist is healed properly and fully. Don't rush back to TT unless its 100%. In the long run, if you don't let it heal completely before you return to TT, your wrist will come back to bite you in the butt. Speedy and healthy recovery Sir!

Read your post and my heart started to race... the adrenaline started to flow and i could feel my testosterone surging LOL I don't have a JPen, but I'm tempted to get one after reading your post LOL at me! Realistically though, I'm older and slower, need to lose some more weight (lost 30 lbs in...

Yes and no. With TPB, i have very little chance the ball will hit my fingers. With RPB, no matter how much I work with it, there's a greater chance than my TPB that the ball will hit my fingers. I used to extend my fingers and maybe 35% of the time the ball hits. I've started getting used to...

Found an old post with pictures. Hope pix show up, if not it's page 18 post #354 of this thread https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/showthread.php?14157-Just-curious-how-many-Penholders-are-on-TTD&p=191209&viewfull=1#post191209 I have to take pix of my current Taksim

My current blade is a Butterfly Taksim My backup is an Avalox P700 2 recent currents was an American Hinoki WRC9 and a Nexy Amazon As a kid, my most beloved Double Happiness "08" (7 ply). There are a few more I don't recall

I'm older and slower so I play close to the table. However, I've found that sometimes I get 'jammed' when my partner is hitting the ball faster and harder. I need to take 1 to 3 steps back to have some time to return the ball. I don't know if that is still close to the table or the start of...
