    If you notice skills deterioriation after 3 hours, stop then. Use that 2 hours to chat with friends, observe clubmates, skip rope, ride a bike, jog, shadow strokes, serves, etc. Don't want to mess up 'muscle memory' and groove in strokes you are compensating for the misses due to fatigue setting...

  6. Difference between better and worse players?

    Great replies to far! I will add Relaxation ... kind of relates to Dan's point of slowing down. I rush myself because I feel I will miss the ball and of course by rushing myself i generally lose the point LOL

    My "new" old rackets - the BH rubbers are not flushed ... it is way lower, to cut down (pun intended lol) on the weight Funny, others say red is attacking for color of blood ... others say black is beautiful i'm used to the 1980's burgundy-ish colors of old 729 Friendship rubbers lol

    This past Tuesday night: Went to my regular club. Hit with my regular training partner with my American Hinoki CPen and Tenergy on both sides ... he has a FH stroke which closes too much that he is trying to correct ... so we slowed down our FH to FH. I flat hit/stroke, he sometimes adds a...

    Sir, You didn't get the overall win, but against players you should beat, you beat soundly. When anyone is cooled off, it is tough to warm up again in the middle of the tournament day sometimes. Good you played well in the rematch compared to the first time of the day. CONGRATULATIONS!

    A few months ago, after getting used to Tensor rubbers, I hit with my old Avalox P700 blade which had a DHS H3 on. Back then, all my shots were off. I gave up on it after 2 minutes. Last night I decided to try again after getting pretty comfortable with my strokes with the tensor rubbers. Wow...

    Back in the day, when 42andbackpains and I played regularly, we had a group we hung out with and played. Basic human nature with the tribal sense. Although we played others outside of our group/tribe/gang, when we played it was also part of the camaderie and fun we had. As young teens, there was...
