I dont have pix of me twiddling (hard to, right?) but here's a video At the time, it was only my 2nd time trying to twiddle IMO TTDer suds79 twiddles fast and smoothly if you look carefully in his videos.

For the record, for the longest time, i've avoided playing the modern PH style ... mostly because my wrist couldn't handle the weight of 2 inverted. I've found my wrist could handle a new racket (new for me, but blade is actually old and used and received as a prize in NextLevel's Christmas...

She is, so please translate for her... lol at me!

I didn't mention that, old man memory, actually SWEATING is the main reason i don't wear glasses. i sweat a lot and distracting for me to keep wiping with glasses on. For now, i've come up with nothing, may look into the football helmet inner cap ... or not ... maybe my vanity and ego is getting...

Thank you for the tip... part of the reason may be i wear glasses but when playing i don't ... partly to hopefully help my eyes get stronger but also part vanity, as when i played in the past, i didn't wear glasses at all... glasses on, am an old man, glasses off, i'm that young man ... LOLOLOL...

Domo arigato gozaimashita suds-san! I've never seen it and wow! I marvel at his stroke/serve motion and generating the different spins!! I need a lot of work for my BH top/sidetop serves. Thank you again, this vid is inspirational.

Thank you for your kind words suds! Thank you ... when younger, one of the most consistent aspects of my game was my FH smash ... i love smashing - ages ago, i was fortunate to practice with Rey Domingo, a 2400 player back in the early 1980's. He helped my smashing game in a big way - he was a...

Thank you for your gracious comments as well as watching my videos Sir! But er, I'm not a good player... my definition of a 'good player' is to be at least be steady and consistent, which i still lack. Not shy to say I'm 52 lol My footwork is bad even when i was younger. But generally now...

YOU ARE TOO KIND ttmonster! LOL Thank you though! He started a tad later than the rest of us, but has continued with it when, some like me, stopped playing. He has also had professional coaching at least 1x a week for about 2 yrs. all our friends agree he is the best of us. however, 42&bp is...

One of the aspects i need to work on in my game is serve receive - specifically reading spin. But in general, I do do (heh heh osph said 'do do' lol) what you mention: * generally if short downspin to my BH, push back to partner's BH side * if rocket serve or topspin to my BH - 80% of the time...

Josh Waitzkin wrote a book called "The Art of Learning" - in it he calls what happened "The Downward Spiral" ... basically focusing on all the negative and getting stuck and continuing to dwell on it and spiraling down more and more. It is important to regain one's clarity of mind after a...

Safe sojourns and have fun!!

Pay it forward... very cool Archo!

Ready for lolz CCers ?!?!?!? As mentioned in a previous post, 42&bp and I met up this past Sunday with our old 1980's TT crew. Played in a friend's basement ... 42&bp didn't like the Double Fish table and the concrete floor ... I just played regardless of the conditions since my game is bad...

Very cool PPH! Both Sam (a SH who shows up on Tuesdays with a JPen friend - am sure you know both as well as played) and M2 told me Wally used to go to LBH. He should be in his late 50's or 60 by now - a few yrs older than me. Was fun to watch him play back at the old Chinatown club!

^^^ WISDOM!!!! get out of comfort zone, don't only do things one feels 'good' or 'easy to do' ... if one is to grow/improve ... do stuff one is 'not good' at ... prepare to be humbled, have no Ego, "Just Do It!" ... applying to tt, if one's game is fh-oriented, add in more bh, if...

LOL nah, people know this, but may need reminding from time to time ... instead of sulking after a loss, analyze/reflect and use the loss to improve on ... after all, all the inventors/creators/scientists etc all 'lost'/'failed' before they succeeded ... a loss is only a loss if nothing is...

Do your best to remember this feeling! Some athletes have described this feeling as 'in the zone' ... they feel they can do no wrong, everything is going their way, they feel great as they perform their action. In future play, do your best to recall that day when your rpb banana flick worked...
