Hello TTDers! "All the best laid plans of mice and men ..." Intended to only serve sidedown to force myself to 3rd ball loop Last night's AAR: 1) Chatted with P. last week. Didn't hit with him for some time. He usually is training on a side table with his coach, an older woman with a bad...

ugh on me, was typing up some long post and lost it somehow :( I'll type it up tomorrow while at work during downtime

Mjölnir (Thor's Hammer) FTW!

Excellent Liten! Good luck at the new club!!

2 of my non-TT instructors teach "The 3 F's" (Fit, Fun, Functional) ... in the context of TT, the first 2 F's are key. In my TT playing, I find I have a lot of Fun playing, which helps me get Fit. My instructors point out that if the physical activity one does is not Fun, no matter how Fit or...

LOLOLOL You are the bestest Der!

I've been mulling this for some time ... at my old club, generally there were players not at my level and I had easy aces off my serve ... when i played some of the players above my level at my old club as well as my new club, i've tried serving shorter as well as trying to 3rd ball loop much...

Almost all the members of my club are better than me, so i can't speak to serving against low level players... i will tell you, they serve to me and i generally eat their side-top serves - lol at me!

I called my old racket "Excalibur" ... only a few months ago, it died on me (broken handle). I'm using an Avalox now and have not named it yet... thinking "Avalox" is close to "Avalon" which is a legendary island in the King Arthurian stories and of course Excalibur was King Arthur's sword :)...

Good morning TTD Chit Chatters! Felt in a funk all weekend ... partly cos my droid smartphone is still being repaired... after system software upgrade, it's stuck in a reboot loop. Googled and YouTubed, and couldn't fix it myself. Went to neighborhood shop to have it fixed. In a funk, also...

Der, It's clear you love pimpin' Nexy gear, guessing by the placement of the racket case you are trying to hide the boner you have for being decked out in the Sexy Nexy! Wait, wut? Carl hacked my account ;-)

It has always pained me to hear about your back and assorted injuries. You are younger than me and should not be in this state. Hoping for a painfree or relatively painless recovery for you!

Keep at it!

Add on to my relaxation post: Baseball players have a whole routine, generally tar the bat, loosen/tighten their batting gloves, take a few swings then approach the batter's box ... once in, dig in and it's on Basketball players before foul shots will bounce the ball a few times, look up at...

JeffM, Backhands look great! The modern ph style is a total mystery to me... i 'retired' around the time of Jiang Jialiang as world champ (1985/1987; traditional ph pips) ... so just before Liu Guoliang was world champ. I watched some of LGL's matches, as well as Ma Lin and Wang Hao, but just...

These work for me, I offer you these in hopes it can help you or set you on a Path of Self-Discovery to see what works for you. 1. Sit and just breathe. Concentrate on the in-breath, concentrate on the out-breath. Zone out background noise, only 'hear/feel' your breath. Long deep breaths...

Happy Friday TTD Chit Chatters! At my club, sometimes many members are present. As a result, most of the tables will warmup for 5 minutes or so, and then a 3 out of 5 match will be played. Sometimes, there are some tables off to the side which generally are training only. Usually the...

The "staying on the balls of your feet with light bend" is spot on IMO. Ages ago, i learned from sports where any movement is involved (which is probably all sports, well physical sports). I do that then, I do that now. However, I'm watching other players and many don't do this. Although my...

DAYUM! DOUBLE DAYUM! Great story, thank you for sharing!
