    slight correction: slow topspin loops ... at my club, i've played 2 SH players who can lob ... BUT they are adding sidespin under the table and if i don't quick smash/catch it off the bounce immediatedly the break after the bounce will catch me offguard as i play close-to-the-table.

    Sir, For now, only had time to watch the first 2 games, no disrespect to your opponent, but he didn't have that many outright winners like you did, it seemed he just played to be steady and return the ball and let you make mistakes... he suffered for this strategy in the first game and parts of...

    Think Der intended to add some weight given I possibly wouldn't be able to handle the weight of a 2nd inverted rubber (or short pips) ... grip tape though seems de minimus, but willing to try it out. Will see if the long pips ox and grip tape helps a little with weight of blade

    Happy Friday TTD CCers! Last night's AAR My journey back into TT after a 30+ yrs absence has been up and down for a little over a year. Still playing inconsistently but I'm still keeping at it. Nexy Amazon CPen without a backside rubber felt light after 2 nights of testing a short pips on the...

    Gumby, The Goon Squad was not successful in intercepting the Package. It arrived safely! Thank you! Never having used grip tape before, and the Instructions are in Korean... The black tape has a shiny side and a matte/dull side... the shiny side, is just some adhesive plastic sheet to...
  10. League game problem - help pls!

    albertwong8: Excellent advice already given! I would've posted similar. 3 points not mentioned which I offer: 1) Some members advocated relaxation but didn't mention some methods on how to relax. I wrote this in another thread on some relaxation techniques that helped me...

    Ah ok then Cornel, but still ... the key is your performance was on par then, it was 'expected'... you probably didn't drop in ranking... sometimes this is a Win in itself... to play consistently at your current level is better than playing lower than your current level. Sometimes expectations...

    This is so easy to advise, but so hard to do. Great to hear you adopted this attitude and pulled out the W. Regardless of what you may think, ranked #100 and finishing #18th is great in my book! CONGRATULATIONS!!

    My serve receive also needs a lot of work... watch the vid of NextLevel vs me - lost many points are failed serve returns ... my 2 matches vs Der_Echte, although I edited out most of my failed serve receives, it just underscores the point that my serve receive is crappy. Easily 500 rating in...

    LOL although true, I'm a one-trick pony, JeffM will figure out how to return my sidetop serve taking away my higher percentage 3rd ball smashes forcing me to my 40/60 or 50/50 loops.

    Yecats, IIRC, this is a video of you (in black) and your brother hitting ... if that is indeed you, you can spot me 9 pts!
  16. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    JeffM, Yecats et al, I don't think it's probable that I will ever meet JeffM in the middle of the world somewhere. Either I visit Perth or he visits NYC. And the match will go down like this: 1) 0:12-0:15 - fast footwork to get to FH when his opponent served down the line 0:42-0:45/1:12-1:15...

    ROFLOL! Nah, it would be a boring match to watch... you will see me miss A LOT. Although, you will probably see JeffM in prime form on his FH loops and RPB!

    Last night's AAR Tried the Spinlord Waran last night as the backside of my Cpen. It seemed a bit bouncier and/or faster than the Stiga Clipper short pips i tried 2 nights ago but it will take me a bit of time if i wanted to only play one-sided CPen with short pips. Totally different than i...

    JeffM, Awesomeness! OK, after having watched that video, when we play, you gotta spot me 7 points! LOL at me!
