    Welcome back to this thread Sir! I think the answer to your question is based on your focus. I am looking for exercise first mostly, but yes, I would like to improve. I am ok with hitting with any partner despite level because I'm looking for a workout. With lower level partners I work to be...

    Last night was my first time ever using a TT robot. I didn't know how to program it ... it was comical! Balls flying at me left and right superfast, and I kept pausing it to try to adjust settings. Finally, i hit reset to default settings and then the robot fed me steady balls to my FH. Worked...

    Last night, i hit with a gentleman recovering from an injury. He is 3 or 4 levels above me. i know the advice i was given here was to meet the ball earlier. I am still working on it, but years of muscle memory is tough for me to overcome. Hitting with me, i can see he meets the ball earlier and...

    pgpg, Found my earlier post. My regular club is a NYC Dept of Parks recreation center. It's members only - no visitor's fee. RC's club is walking distance from #7 train. My new club is walking distance, but a bit further than RC's. Although there is a free transfer to Q17 or Q27 buses... get...

    Sir, Iirc, you are a LP Chopper? If so, you are 2200 vs me! My official rating was 1400's in 1980's. If Sunday, I may be able to meet up but it will tough as Monday is a work day and you are free in evening. For serious TT play though, think Manhattan is not ideal place. I know the Queens...

    Last night hit with 3 partners. Jammed packed club. 1. My regular partner. I'm just trying to return steady so he can groove his strokes. 2. An older woman I've hit with before ~2 weeks ago. She says she didn't play in 60 years! CPen with what i thought was pips as the balls seem to die out...

    A Like for a speedy recovery 42&bp! -------- Played 2x last week. Nothing extraordinary to report. No video. Had fun hitting. No SH, just PH. Still working on the timing of meeting the ball earlier and taking off the bounce and still seem to be to hitting the ball late. Last night, actually...
