    LOLOL - I misquoted it too! It should read, "Consistency trumps intensity."
  2. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    I think i understand what you are saying. I do something like this i believe but it's not totally perpendicular. My RPB stroke is I believe like a SH BH. One of the members in my club started taking lessons, started learning RPB after me, and her stroke is rounding. I started off rounding until...

    LOL -- no, i've heard that for a long time, and don't recall who said it first, if anyone is on record for saying it. But the saying and concept has been known for a long time, just the person who said it first is unknown

  9. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    There's 2 SH that play passively, just look to return their partner's shots. They are about my level or 1-2 above me, but due to their non-aggressiveness, I should be beating them easily. And this is where TT is truly humbling... i have not mastered myself yet! i rush my shots :( during...

    Excellent progress suds! I've posted elsewhere that sometimes higher-level players vs me would just play steady to return the ball and let me make the mistakes and lose points. No need for them to 'overpower' me all the time with their shots. I sometimes do the same to partners who are a...

    Doh jeh Si-hing! Yeah for now, I'm just looking to practice/train the rpb punch/stroke. Intermittently I add in rpb loop, both brush/short motion, and the longer whip mechanics motion... FTR, both my sh and rpb bh loops landed but poor camera angles, can't tell. Ultimately I probably will be...

    Si-hing! Thank you for sharing video of your play! My footwork is not the best, but that type of carpeting makes me scared to move around. 1:14-1:19 – Nice! I used to work on this, the 3rd ball controlled spinny opening loop. Need to work on this sometime after I get super comfortable...

    Ah ok suds, if i get you, the ready position you are naturally in favors TPB and you would waste precious time to go for the RPB However at home vs robot, you are drilling RPB and already in ready position that favors RPB I have no solution, as I've not played matches much, just practicing...

    Thank you suds! You mentioned something that I didn't remember... I'm a close-to-the-table player also ... when I loop in practice I have the long stroke yet for the tensor rubbers I'm using, I really should meet ball the ball sooner and shorten stroke. However, monster, Carl, 42andbackpains and...
