Yesterday, "42andbackpains" and I went to a friend's house in NJ (with traffic ~2hrs drive) to meet up with our old TT crew ... 6 in total, with 1 friend, not part of the original 1980's crew. Let's get this out of the way first, I played everyone once and played 2x with the friend that is not...

Hours before I get together tomorrow with 42andbackpains for a whole day with our old TT crew By "old" I mean over the hill, bunch of 13 yr old minds in 50 yr old bodies reliving the glory of our youth Trash talking and bragging rights here we come! Last year we got together I gave one friend...

Very cool! EC asked me, "Are you that wicked Penholder looper from college?" I had to lolz. .. funny how I think of myself as a smasher, loop one and smash/punch block everything else He remembered me as a wicked looper lol

YES!!! 1200 it is then!!!

Although Thomas is 80 yrs old, i don't think he would mistake Wally Green from the Wally we were reminiscing about. It's possible he heard wrong that Wally was coaching at SPIN. An aside, from your FB, reconnected with E.C. ... not sure if he asks you to call him "F.O.B." - back in college, he...

YES!!!! That makes me 1400!!!!!! Told y'all so, no one believes me ;-)

Thank you again flatstyk!

I know Der_Echte, NextLevel and Carl had discussed this amongst themselves forever, and perhaps here too. Until they chime in ... In USA, there is no real star, no consistent player on world class level ... partly because our Olympians in any sport are largely working on their own, and for...

My regular partners know not to intentionally give me nospin or high balls to my FH... i may or may not lose the point due to missing or whatever, but they will be looking at a fast smash back ... of course, the better partners give me sidespin lobs or whatever and sadly i miss at times lol I...

I don't consciously change spin on my blocks ... I have old man memory ... will rewatch the vid of Der vs Vincent. Suspect Vincent is 3 or 4 levels above me but will check out. Thank you!

First, I should ask for royalties or something for "LOL at me" ... LOL at me ;-) 2nd, hmmm... i don't consciously think of my fingers behind the back ... i may or may not be doing something ... i curl my fingers and only the side of my middle finger touches the racket ... what i do do (heh...

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” ― Sun Tzu, The Art of War...

Cool vid! No, Wally is chinese, an oldschool PH pips attacker. Not sure if he is even at SPIN as a coach, but that was what Thomas said.

Interesting! Thank you Sir!

Carl, When chatting with Thomas last night, he mentioned "Wally" as a coach at SPIN. Do you know him? Back in the 1980's, he was a 2000-2200 oldschool PH pips attacker. A few members at Lost Battalion mentioned through the years Wally showed up, but past few years, he hasn't.

I have no SH 'game', no serves, my mind is still fixated and abides on FH only or BH only - am not fluid to flow/switch between the 2 Just for the heck of it, this Sunday, will play a match SH and may post video. LOL at me ... THANK YOU ttmonster.

Hit for 2.75 hours straight last night at about 80% power/speed. Did not play any matches, just hit. I have challenges with the Nexy Amazon and seem not able to return the ball. Either my time off, the MXP is dead, or my partners at the time or a combination :( A night of experimentation. Hit...

Always awesome to hear of forum members get-togethers!

"Progress not perfection." ~Robert McCall (Denzel Washington in The Equalizer) Excellent Sir! Unlike Shuki who plays better with some time off, I'm like you and lost my rhythm, touch, well lost everything! In short time, you will be back to your prior form of 3 weeks ago!

Went to the club last night ... hit for 2 hrs or so with 2 breaks in between. Didn't play any matches. Just hit. Didn't hit or block well with the Nexy Amazon: the few months off and/or it's time to change the rubber. Tested more with the American Hinoki CPen with Tenergy sheets. Although the...
