being tired is the best time to practice serves correctly. in games you get tired. Yes I have practiced serves like that, until I realized I was practicing in a way that was less than optimal.

I have no problems with any changes that have been made so far. The more I play, the more I enjoy to watch. So I enjoy watching professional matches more now than ever.

Yes, I understand practicing in a way that you don't play helps more than practicing in a way that you do play. :rolleyes:

I think the serve is good. Maybe practice getting ready for a return after the serve instead of just watching it and grabbing the next one as quick as possible.

Mang0, plays on instinct, reads, and feeling. Your focus is all about form and technique and other (knowledge-based) technicalities.

For what it's worth I call pushes chops. Over the table chop vs off the table chop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I like soft sponge.

No time to visit club.. Countless hours spent on an online forum + countless hours against lower level players.

woah, serving on your side before his helped quite a bit! who would have thought ;P

If it's been played with a lot, the sides are different but not in the way you think. The wings wear a bit from the finger pressure on them and the racket sits at a different angle depending on how worn each wing is. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If the practice is for you, all the more reason to serve normally first. His block will improve more which will give you more practice in what you want. Have you ever played a beginner who serves to you without bouncing the ball on their side first? It's extremely difficult to react to that...

Serb topspin. He'll return it more. Right now you're practicing looping a ball that's not traveling toward you. I don't see any benefit to serving the way you are if you want him to just be blocking. Edit: you asked what your partner should do to the topspin serve. Depends what you guys...

midterms.:( lots of lurking, less posting. Often when I feel like posting I'll type something up and decide not to post for one reason or another. Sometimes, knowing I may not be back reply in a timely manner is enough to dissuade me from posting.

??? why not just serve him topspin instead of launching it straight to his side??? I've only seen players serve straight to their side when doing counterlooping drills...

Every time I try a hard sponged rubber, like H3, and I lose my touch. Things go wrong.

Coach said something interesting yesterday. I always liked to block and keep the ball moderately slower. Paraphrasing here, but basically she said that, if you always play a slower ball, hitting a fast one won't work because your muscles aren't comfortable doing this. They'll tense up and form...

I think Liam won the match 11-5

pm me pictures, I''m interested.

Haven't read above posts. I like to put that out there incase I look ignorant to what was already said. Best smash rubber is subjectional. Some rubbers make smashing easier, like high control rubbers, but they'll lack power and finishing the point may be harder to complete. For example, watch...

Brushing too much with not enough head speed., need to dig into that sponge. If you're brushing really fine, you need to be whipping through that air extremely quickly if you want that sponge to be in the equation. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
