One huge adjustment is the grip/finger placement (middle, ring, pinky) ... I think i grip the traditional PH grip, that is with my 3 fingers curled somewhat on the back ... not used to the uncurled position. I grip untraditionally on the front though, instead of handle in web of hand between...

LOL Good luck bro!

LOL yes ... BUT ... i tried weds night and was hitting all over lol... many advise having a coach properly teach it ... so for now, it's in the back of my mind ... the other thing in the back of my pea brain is switching to short pips LOL

'Absorb what is usefu, discard what is useless and add what is specifically your own.' ~Bruce Lee This is one of the Quotes I live by in my Life. I know I'm not the best, always will be someone better than me, I know I'm not the worst, always will be someone worse than me. I am open to advice...

How timely and appropriate :) ... today's Bloomberg Quote of the Day: "Never, ever underestimate the importance of having fun." Randy Pausch pssssttt... penholders are the best! ;-)

Excellent! Congratulations Si-hing!!

Congrats bro!

Sir, Congratulations! You obviously are not an idiot. What you did was ensure your Game did not Stagnate and you will Grow from this by letting the junior know the strategy you beat him with. You taught him his Weakness! He will improve and that will force you to Up your Game! "As iron...

I'm the old fat guy on the right in the video. I don't know how easy or hard it looks on video to be blocking Carl's loops from the video. But I'll tell you, i think i'm a decent enough blocker and it was difficult for me to block Carl's loops. As a traditional penholder, one of my bread and...

I will know better of my availability tonight or tomorrow night. Both Carl and 42&bp have my cellphone #. *crosses fingers*

I believe any serve stops working at a certain point IF you use it exclusively in a match. Your partner will adapt and then that serve becomes ineffective. HOWEVER, if you mixed your serve types and/or vary speed/placement, the same serve has new life and becomes almost its own serve. Good luck...

That's cos you didn't play enough vs me! You would win more and your confidence would skyrocket! On that note, i piggybacked on 42&bp's order and getting a MX-P also to try out. Some weeks ago "M1" saw me looping and just hitting and as an aside he said 'you are doing too much work' ... that...

suds79, Super serene scene that garden of your's! Coolness! Another penholder! Thank you for sharing!

Carl mentioned I beat him back in June this year when we met up. I lost 2 straight, came back to win 3 straight. But I really think i eked out a win. Didn't really deserve it. Just lucky. I mentioned I possibly played and beat "D. Vila" after watching a vid that NextLevel posted of his match vs...

Well NextLevel mentioned that 1980's 1400's are different than modern 1400's However, officially i never made 1400 USATT... was 1370 or so. Didn't play enough tournaments. So out of respect to TTD, I don't make claims to my level (much anymore). I really don't know my level. Will not be playing...

A new vid: Mostly I served to J's BH and punched it down the line to his FH. One of my staple tactics. After a few minutes of this, J said hey, that is a pips tactic. You should play pips! I told him i started off as pips. We both chuckled. After a few more minutes of getting some nice, low...

Before I bought my Joby magnetic tripod camera holder (~USD $25), I used a filled 20 oz bottle of Gatorade to prop my camera on the other side of the table. But the Joby's magnets allow it to be attached to metal as well as being able to wrap around thin poles or something. I can't find the...

Last night's AAR: Got to club early. Club not as packed as it could be perhaps due to weather being overcast/drizzly/rain. My Chuck Knoblauch Syndrome still persists. Chuck Knoblauch was a 2nd baseman for the baseball team Minnesota Twins. Was traded to the NY Yankees in the mid-1990's (or...

.......
