  1. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    Interesting! I have never tried playing the V-grip seriously. In the past, i recall trying the v-grip 'BH loop' and found it easier than traditional SH BH loop for me. May try it at some point again, but I have all kinds of mental issues trying to regain my game now LOL. So I don't want to add...

  3. Just curious how many Penholders are on TTD?

    Welcome to TTD and this PH thread fcvyy! Wow! 7 yrs of almost non-stop play/dedicatee training! I played when i was much younger, but unlike you, did not have a good foundation and dedicated training. Came back to TT a year ago after a 30+ yrs absence LOL You should have a good foundation...

  6. Weird playing style

    almost like you, but i'm 1350-1400. (ok, ok, 1980's 1400, and i didn't play enough tournaments, so i may be overrated even!) seriously, i don't know what level i am, i play so inconsistent... the same easy shots i make in a game will be the same easy shots i miss in that same game but due to...

    Last night i showed up at the club, and not many members were there yet. A woman who generally coaches/gives pointers to a few players asked to hit with me. I, the naive idiot, thought we were just going to hit until her students show up. Ends up she coached me after a few minutes of warmup...

    I was 50/50 or so with my down the line serves that match. But yeah, focused on the 3rd ball down the line to show my inconsistencies... although, 1 or 2 serves, i'm thinking i'm serving sidetop, i see i netted his 2nd ball...so i probably served sidedown I need to work on being consistent...

    Hello fellow Penholders! Posted this video to the Daily Chit Chat thread... reposting here... showing how inconsistent i can be ---------------- Last week I played MB a match... he has anti on his BH side and IMO has excellent ball control. Have never beaten him in a match. The best I ever...

    Last week I played MB a match... he has anti on his BH side and IMO has excellent ball control. Have never beaten him in a match. The best I ever did was lose 3-2, but generally lose 3-0, but sometimes close games. Lost to him last week -8, -5, -8 I finally had a chance to edit the video of the...

    Missed TT last night, our eldest daughter flew home from college for Thanksgiving... went to the airport to pick her up. I think i got the urges of matchplay out of my system from playing the last 2 weeks. With ~5 days off, focusing tonight back on serves... will see if i can just get a serve...

    IMO if a person is asking for help from people, free help at that, via an Internet forum ... then don't come across as a troll first of all ... you will not be taken seriously, and get ignored ... it may take time for the people to forgive you and turn around to help you Secondly, if people...

    I will say I am shy of posting pix/vids of myself over the net. Carl posted a video of us warming up sometime ago, so you can all blame him for seeing my ugly mug from time to time :) Archo, you are not shy one little bit in posting as well as posting videos unlike some 2400+ player on this...
  18. The All Time Greatest

    I have a soft spot for Guo Yuehua, but that's cos he was world champ when i started to play seriously. Also, a totally different era of 21/5 ... iirc, LGL and Ma Lin were borderline 21/5 to 11/2 era? Need to google on when that changed. Sometime after i 'retired' from TT. * runs and hides in...

    FWIW, although i'm a slow learner, i'm still working on tips from early October, and imagine it may take me a year or even 2. When i can i post video to document my progress (or lack of progress).
