    Carl, Like your signature says, spin everything! Backhand loop it! Although sometimes my opponents misjudged the speed it comes at them and the spin, like a batter swinging and missing the pitcher's curveball... not trying to toot my own horn, but sometimes I get the speed AND spin and it...

    I mentioned to a coach at Wang Chen's club that I seem to be playing ok vs 1600-1800's when I'm only 1400. I mentioned I had a break. He said some times when one comes back from a break that for whatever reason one plays better and I quipped, "But 30 yrs Coach?!?!" When next we meet, after a...

    Re: that serve, it sometimes gives others a lot of trouble... when next we hook up, I'll show you what I think is one way to return it, which gives me problems on 3rd ball

    LOL at secrets... tell no one, your game stagnates, tell everyone and your game improves. It could be as Sun Tzu said, "All warfare is deception." A little misinformation here and there ;) Although you were up 2 zip and I came back to win 3 to 2 in the previous outing we played, you are too...

    Der_Echte, Too bad we ran out of time! Would've been fun to see what we could've done as a doubles team! You are too kind, thank you for you gracious comments, I'm 1400 at best, was just fortunate my doubles partner set me up proper. Was fortunate to hit with Carl a previous time. Look...

  17. How does your mental attitude influence your game?

    Hello bauschule: During training or even warm up, I'm a chameleon. I adapt to my partner. If they ae serious, I will be seriois ... if they are having fun, I'll have fun. Sometimes i do this with players I know that are more skilled/experienced than I am ... they appear serious, I make a joke...

    Awesomeness!!! Thank you! I'm still in the Technique Acquisition phase on some strokes, so I need to "grease the groove"/muscle memory, so block practice may help a bit more u til I get "the right stroke" but I definitely get what you and vid means by the random practice. Do you know about Col...

    Did you ever train with him? 42&backpains and the rest of our crew back in da day owe a lot to Richard Ling!! I neglected to add to my initial post, I also learned from Rey Domingo. He was 2400 or so back then and was a very steady lobber, he helped my smashing game tremendously. It was a joy...
