Very cool Carl! Still bummed I couldn't join you, 42&BP et al

Call me intrigued! Thank you for the links! I haven't had much exposure to modern blades, or old blades for that matter. Personally owned off-the-shelf Double Happiness blades as well as a Double Happiness 032 5 ply and my main blade for years, a Double Happiness 7 ply 08. I had briefly a...

Der, By "OP" I take it you meant "original poster" and not me Mind blown at some of your tips! thank you! "After a hit or two suddenly take the ball off the bounce." This is one of the tactics/techniques I use and was taught back in da day... I call it a "fast hit" ... one can also do the...

JM, good luck with your knee and upcoming comp as well as university!

Masterful insight NL! Thank you! I'm generally shy, don't post pix or vids of myself in other contexts of my life. With TT, it may be ok for me to post. I've have not video myself all that much and am not as disciplined as you are. I did video myself vs Carl from back in June this year...

JM, If I may I would listen to NL's advice/tips... 2000 player helping you out! This is the way I approach serves ... TTDers, please feel free to correct/amend/criticize me: 1) Placement - short, medium, long mixed with left, middle, right 2) Speed of Serve as well as Stroke ... may be...

Very intersting! I will look into it sooner or later, want my game to be of some semblance of what it was before trying out new stuff That's the Yin of it, for every Yin there is a Yang. TheYang of it is go to the Amazon blade and get used to it in addition to try to regain game I'll mull...

(BEGIN Yoda's voice) "Do or do not. There is no try." (/END voice) :) Good luck with your future games vs flat hitters!

No video I know of on the net at least , but Alex Tam played traditional ph pips back in late 1970's or early 1980's Left China to HK then USA He Zhi Men is sweetness in action! IMO pure trad ph pips.. love to watch him play.

Sweet Archosaurus!

Hello Sakumi: I do not know how to beat flat hitters. I sometimes am described as a flat hitter. I will tell you how to beat me: 1) Do NOT loop slow topspin to me, usually I put heavy downspin to elicit the slow topsin loop which I time and smash 2) if forced to lob, add sidespin. Best to do...

You look way better than me! Props and Respect!

Xie xie for sharing YuJuYen! You are super-talented!

Really sad we didn't remember to video the doubles ... some great shots! Yeah, I'm not the type to speak on stuff I have no knowledge of. I know when I should shut up and just listen and be a sponge and soak in the wisdom of TTD. If I think I can help, I would chime in ... I'm just a 1400...

Hello Shuki: Whoa! I'm deeply honored! THANK YOU! *taps microphone* Is this thing on? Back in the early late 70's and early 80's, I played 3x a week. 42andbackpains and I were part of a group of friends who practiced a lot together. 42&bp came back to the game ~2 yrs ago, I've been back...
