(begin old man voice) When i was much younger, I blocked this way... i call it 'angled blocking' ... when one hears 'blocking', the connotation seems to be defensive... but if you block the ball where the opponent is not, it's offense in my book. sadly, older and slower now, i have to work on...

I recall ~4 weeks ago, that Saturday night, I show up at 10:30 pm after you all have been at it since 4pm or so ... I asked you, "Got any games left in you?" and your reply was along the line of, "I always have a few games left in me!" Good luck and have fun! May all the net shots go your way!

Thx Der ... having not played too many tournaments when I was younger and having played in a League that was IIRC non-sanctioned/non-rated, i didn't remember some of the nuances of scanctioned/rated-play.

Not yet Der, a friend of mine helped me order the LP and we will meet up when it's in. Despite the short pips feeling too heavy and making my hand hurt, i brought it along for tonight. May slap it on to try it again. That and also to protect the backside until the LP is on cos I'm a klutz lol...

Overall in the grand scheme of things, it is minor, but as you mention the first damage is most painful. Especially in my case as the blade and rubber is only 3 weeks old! Thank you Jirrex! Congrats! and WOW at your low-end rating in the one league! Yeah I'm going to get the Baal/NextLevel...

LOL -- thank you Brother! Deeply honored! New pix perhaps tonight ... and definitely when i add on the longpips OX. Oh, i had 2 'accidents' sadly and the Amazon is 'bruised' -- ugh on me, i can be a klutz. Will post some old pix i had which i didn't get to post yet. And take pix of the...

My posts were meant to show my journey/frustration/joy of my game progressing/regressing and not aimed at the racket! The Nexy Amazon CPen is a joy for me to hit with! Is there a site that can explain the meanings/ratings of "ALL+", "OFF-", etc?

Last night 1) I hit with an older gentleman I never saw before. He was sitting at an empty table with someone else. They had no net. I thought they would hit with each other as I offered my net to them. The other gentleman said he was playing elsewhere. The older gentleman seemed reluctant to...

AWESOME Boogar! Congratulations!! Sometimes this tactic is a "jedi mind trick"/psychological warfare... opponent getting into your brain... sometimes one gets upset/angry over the complaint and it affects their play... great to hear it didn't affect your play. My old club, i used to drill in...

Si-hing, First and foremost, GOOD LUCK on your finals! 2nd, CONGRATULATIONS! Awesome performance/results!! So happy to read your report! 2 points for your consideration: 1) Thinking of performance and/or winning/losing sometimes produces unnecessary stress about oneself, as witness what...

i know, but dayum my muscle memory! i may have to try Brett Clark's stick trick for a while to really short circuit my muscle memory.

bwhahahahahahaha!!

At ~11:53-11:54 - Kumar, P almost missed your 11th ball and it goes on for another 10 balls! Very cool!

Thank you Sir!

Last night, I hit for 3 hrs pretty much non-stop. Blocked for 'Mommy' ... she likes to hit with me as she knows i'm a little better than her and appreciates me just blocking for her. I periodically used my FH stroke to return her shots. At some point she asks if i was bored just blocking, i...

Do not correct anything please. Will be easier for me to beat you! GRRR! BRING IT! :)

Last night's AAR: Played ~3 hrs pretty much non-stop... after 2 hrs though, felt a little weak, took 10 mins break.. had a granola bar and a protein bar. Weather unseasonably warm, club was not that humid, perhaps I didn't hydrate well enough. Hit with 6 players last night, one of which is a...

Prego!

Guilty as charged! lol I know i can only go so far with it ... hence, I'm trying to evolve
