Tried posting a pic of my racket via phone and wacky, wouldn't post. Then tried copying and pasting and wacky formatting - characters didn't display. Will repost after I sort it out.

Played a club player last night, lost to him last week, illegal serves, lost 3 straight last wk, lost 3-1 last night. Didn't call him on the illegal serves. Despite losing the match, i was able to 2nd loop many of his illegal sidespin serves ... happy about that. The father of the special needs...

Sir, Words fail. However, I only have 2 for you: THANK YOU! Very truly yours, ~osph

lol :)

That sounds better than "I have old man memory and wanted to write down my history for my kids" :) On a diff note... strange how Life takes us on different paths ... you went to Bronx Sci ... during our time, Bronx was #2 to Stuyvesant #1 (David Song in 3,2, 1, ...)... i took the Specialized HS...

Part of my TT story will be part of the 1980's NYC/Chinatown TT scene. I don't recall at what age, but i watched my father play my uncle and others as a kid. I didn't play until I was in Junior High School (now called Intermediate School). In the gym, there was a table there and played with...

Having played Mark Berg and watching him play, I will attest to the fact that Mark's game DOESN'T look threatening BUT he knows how to use his Anti and has great ball control ... he will move opponents side to side and disrupt player's rhythm, he will pick his spots on when to attack.

OH MY GUOYUEHUA! (LOL at my table tennis geek version of OMG :-) "Berg" plays at my club now from time to time! When i joined my current club, I was a fish out of water. Only "M2" knew me (2300 SH, we went to the same college and played a few times together back in late 1980's). So one night...

In anything we do in Life, we are both Physical AND Mental. It is a Whole and not Parts. Integration of both Mind AND Body results in a much Stronger Person/Player. Good luck in your Training/TT!

NL, Thank you for your advice! About you playing more like me ...there was one point in your match vs D. Vila that was what i would've done... as i watched the point, i jumped up in my seat and thought coolness! Didn't note the timestamp, and didn't have time to watch it again, but will rewatch...

Ah, very cool Carl! Thank you! Didn't think of self-hitting. For now, i don't have access to multi-balls, and generally won't have a table to myself where i play. If i make it to 42&bp's club, i will work on this. Thank you again!

2016-09-19 vs K (-4, 7, -9, -5) Although this video is indicative of my matches during my unretirement (mostly unforced errors on my part), one general comment is in order. I hit/played for 3 hours and pretty wiped out. It was close to closing time, K owned the net on the table and was about to...

LOL ... thank you JeffM!! ... nah, you have more tools than me with the Reverse BH, suspect your loop is better and good serves! (EDIT: you would do well in a match vs me) I have nothing but old man memories of when I was a kid LOL

1 vid for TTD CCers (will repost in Carl's TTD True Essence thread also) Instead of looping vs her (1st time with her blocking, longstroke looped ok, 2nd time with her blocking both long and shortstroke loops sucked), i decided to just hit some fast FH, bordering on smashing... we had some...

Carl, FTR, one of my goals this year was to start working on the Peacock Pose. Ends up I didn't ever start it and ended doing more TT instead LOL at me.

Archo mentioned me, perhaps he had this post of mine in mind: You may be anxious about not having a proper warmup which can negatively impact your game. Although not quite warm up tips, it may be useful in getting you into a relaxed state. I like what Archo posted about using your strongest...

Will post later to this thread of vids of my TT as I intend to post 2 new vids in addition to the 2 vids i already posted in the Chit Chat thread for the members who surf this thread and not the Chit Chat thread. My non-TT: primarily into the martial arts. Like my TT, i'm not a beginner, but...

Are you really George RR Martin? Not writing the next novel in the A Song of Fire and Ice series cos you are too busy posting on TTD and playing TT?

Hmmm... i may or may not post my non-TT true essence - paranoia issues of current or future employer finding out my non-TT hobby and may be detrimental to my career. But very cool on the circus/yoga Carl! Thank you for sharing.

Q: How do you keep a fool in suspense? ;-)
