    I saw JJ play in person when he and some of the CNT visited NYC for an exhibition ... he didn't use RPB and if you watch his matches, he only uses TPB. Agree with suds, cool to see an old dog learn new tricks.

    Welcome to TTD and the thread Christian Adrian Aniceta! I'm learning RPB myself. I have no technical tips as I'm rusty after a 30+ yrs break from TT. I have general tips though: 1) "Progress not perfection." ~Robert McCall (Denzel Washington in The Equalizer) ... keep at it! Only way to...

    So there's some hope for me?!?!?! --------------------------------------- I think what you wrote about 'tricks' is in the back of the mind of most 'junk' players ... they realize they will face a partner that the 'junk'/'tricks' won't phase them.

    IMO, the mental aspect/game in any human endeavor, table tennis included, is 80-90% more important than the physical aspects. Almost all elite athletes have roughly the same skill/expertise/experience... what differentiates one from the other is the 'better' athlete has a stronger...
