NL dropping wisdom as usual! I'm not at your level Sir, in physical skill as well as expressing clearly in posts I find as I read your post and nodding in understanding. THANK YOU!

I used to have a file that I would shave/file my blade's handle with. Used to keep it with my racket case. After 2 weeks searching, I can't find it. Went out during lunch and bought a file set. Forgot to buy sandpaper. Will start shaving/filing the handle tonight. I believe, rightly or...

performance anxiety ? LOL at me

Just relax ... easy to say, hard to do! Good luck!

Good morning TTD Chit Chatters! Last night (Sorry Archo!) I had to do something with my wife first. When we finished, there was still some time before the club closed. Showed up and hit with my regular training partner, another 1400 - SH - 62 yrs old, and i mainly short stroke and long stroke...

After work, will meet my wife. Archo and i jinxed myself LOL

LOLOL oh wow! maybe one night, i'll go back to wang chen's and pay the visitor's fee and see if i play some of the players there and maybe see JP there.

ouchy!

Ah ok, if by feed you mean multiball ... then er, ignore what I posted, sorry about that.

LOLOL Yeah, so they are professional athletes and world-class players, they could do stuff I can't - like stand and block your doubles partner's view. LOL

Archosaurus, There's a saying here in USA, "Happy Wife, Happy Life" :) We have been house hunting for some time now. Thinking of our 3 children, something we can pass down to them as we are not getting younger. Real Estate agent called my wife and set the appointment to view the house. Past...

Thx ttmonster, i didn't express clearly, sorry about that... meant with the high toss serve that i saw in the olympics, or any serve for that matter, if the server is standing in the middle of the table and not more towards the right side of the table, getting out of the way may be a challenge...

Hello stanlycam: Welcome to TTD! Not sure what you mean by 'feed' as well as 'right to right.' When I warm up with a lefty, one of us will hit FH to the other's BH and then vice versa. Sometimes one of us will hit 'down the line' to make it FH to FH or BH to BH (is this what you meant by...

Good morning TTD Chit Chatters! I have a martial arts training group I work out with Tuesday nights. My wife called me last minute and I had to cancel my MA and do something with her. We finished, and my TT club closes 9:30. Decided to show up at the TT club. Close to closing time, and slight...

One more comment re: JP, i neglected to post thusly: "he is very frustrating to play and can seem to be arrogant/egotistical" 1) frustrating frustrating in that his angles are extreme and i'm old and slow and can't get to the ball in time, even if i miraculously make the return, he would be...

Sorry Shuki for slight thread hijacking I'm the type of person/player who knows when he's beat, highly improbable I would beat him ... he is very frustrating to play and can seem to be arrogant/egotistical... but bottom line, I can't beat him so I'll take what he's dishing ... although I lost...

I'm playing catchup on TTD threads and came across Shuki's thread... and saw Carl mention JP From June 2015 to April 2016, i used to play at Wang Chen's club (100th st off Broadway/NYC). JP sometimes was there. I believe we are talking about the same player. He is a lefty and plays SH, both...

I was thinking about this last night ... i may be wrong, but take this FWIW ... Your preferred service style is the fh hook serve... you would have to get out of the way faster as you stood somewhat in the middle of the table ... when i served, it was almost always a bh sidedown serve short...

I like the bent finger to indicate short serve, we used to point the thumb backwards ... if index finger or thumb pointed forward, it was fast nospin serve we used the thumb and index in L configuration to indicate sidedown or sidetop, depending on if thumb pointed up (side top) or index finger...

Ages ago, when i play with a frequent partner, we generally don't signal, unless when i serve and partner decides to change it up. As server I signal to infrequent partner what I'm serving. Generally when i receive serve, i don't signal because I generally have the idea of returning the ball...
