I have Family duties on the weekend and generally don't play TT. This past weekend, I was fortunate enough to go and join 42andbackpains at his TT club, New York Indoor Sports Club. Saturday 42andbackpains had his regular coaching lesson. I showed up afterwards. Saw PingPongHolic there and...

Carl, I am so happy for you!!! 9 points! Too soon? :)

CONGRATULATIONS! GREAT NEWS!! Almost all athletic endeavors, actually all of Life is 80% mental (if not more) ... once doubt enters or confidence leaves, you have one more opponent against you ... yourself! Seems like tchooing is one method that has helped your self-confidence ... recall it in...

*mind blown* WOW! Thank you, good to know! Thank you Sir for your kind words! Like 42andbackpains constantly reminds me, I'm stuck in the 1980's ... technology evolved by leaps and bounds since then ... there are some major points I'm still working on in my loops as well as FH like: loop vs...

lololol

To add, here's Guo Yuehua's instructional ~10:20 - ~14:20

May be my work firewalls ... i don't see pix

LOLOL i know right! i saw her and went to turn off the recording. Another fun part - "J" does his dance 0:10-0:16 LOL FYI my 'club' is a NYC Dept of Parks Recreation Center - $100 bucks a year - will not complain about the people going to and fro for that price. Share the floor with the...

Yeah, related to one of Newton's Laws of Motion ... a body at rest will stay at rest/a body in motion will stay in motion. Boxers are always on their balls of feet and in motion ... same with their lead hand ... always probing for weaknesses, acting as a barrier, like a snake, moving and ready...

Hit with P for 2 hrs straight last night. I alternated between PH and SH with emphasis on SH BH. Didn't BH loop per se but instead of a punch/flat BH, i added spin a little. Intermittently tried RPB. I only recorded to video ~15 mins after hitting for 1 hr 45 mins. Edited the raw footage down to...

I've been curious about this. I have always stayed on my balls of feet, but I've watched some world class TT players and some of them seem flat-footed. Perhaps they are younger as well as professional athletes and I'm not. Generally I do not see flat-footed people in other sports.

LOL For now, I'm not ready for a West Coast Goon squad mission ... unless United goes Dr Dao on me and my giant rabbit!!

i cannot be the only one who had this song in my head everytime he said 'danger zone' Thank you NL! Intuitively i know this but in the heat of the moment, i don't implement. I will venture to say that pushing is an important aspect of the game once short serves are implemented... pushing to...

:) 42&bp mentioned this to me also. Will do it tonight and hopefully get vid of it as well as RPB. to be fair ... this is also a challenge to TPB ... i sometimes mistime my punch and catch the ball to high on bounce and ending up on tiptoes/stand tall ... lol Ah the ignorant bliss of...

CCers, BTW, for those who don't know, in the above vid, i'm the one on the far side of the table. ttmonster, Thank you for your encouragement, vids and pointers! As you know, last night is probably only my 5th time playing SH seriously. When much younger, I started as PH, only played SH back...

Last night, miraculously had a table all to ourselves... decent space around... no matches, just hit and flow. K, i jokingly refer to as my arch-nemesis, is a good friend and helps me with tips time to time ... we both are steady enough, although the below vid doesn't indicate it. About the...

You were in the Zone!! FLOW!!! Congratulations!! Please remember this state/feeling!! Attach it to vivid mental imagery of the sights/sounds of the day ... anchor it... recall the anchor in the future to elicit the Flow State. Awesomeness!! EDIT: may sound like a lot of woo-woo... but i...

Your jedi mind tricks won't work on me!! HEH those were highlights! You clearly haven't watched most of the matches I've posted ... Lost all but 1 if memory serves. Need me to repost my first match with Der? He handled my serves easily or my match with NL? However, in the match with NL i...

CCers, I refrained from commenting on suds' vid of his 2 friends ... doubted what I saw and thought ... although it's after the fact after so many posted, i had some of the similar thoughts ... so yay me in a way

Life is a Lie ... Life is a fleeting Dream ... Maybe these 2 posts will get ttmonster and me our own forum from NL :) Yes, the videos you see of 'me' is really me recording my great-grandfather! LOL j/k
