I guarantee it's his own judgement on how he thinks he plays. Any player that's actually at 2000+ level, would have done a tournament to play that level of player by now. He lives in the United States, either he beats players at that level and would have a rating, loses to that level, or has...

because he cannot deal with unfamiliar equipment, and the ARB blade is also unfamiliar to him.

Rub the topsheet aggressively and wear it down a bit. More control! I actually can't use tenergy with great performance for the first couple hours of play. It feels harder when I use a brand new sheet and I need it to soften up a bit

@ low level players blocking This is super good to learn because it will make other players enjoy hitting with you more. Its also one of, if not the most important skill to learn. This is actually the path I took. I think doing this all the time causes my game to change style completely...

Back to the lefty advantage question, I asked a lefty at my club (who in his prime was over 2300, his daughter much better than him) if he had more trouble against other leftys. He said there wasn't an unfamiliarity problem because they usually had just as much experience against other Left...

question for those of you that play with the "good" players at your club. How long did it take you for them to start inviting you to hit with them? For me, there were a couple of the better players who enjoyed the style matchup and would play me more often than any of the other "good" players...

I hit with duc today, I like warming up backhands with him so I decided to record that to show archosaur what I mean by soft. start around where I serve at about 53-54 seconds in. He's warming up his backhand loop and I'm blocking these very spinny loops softly. They aren't bouncing back to...

Drills are so hard for me to do. Not enough stimuli. My coach knows this and changes the drills extremely quickly compared to her other students. Once, she noticed that I would lose focus doing simple hitting to the same spot drills and I'd just miss when I shouldn't. So she had me hit down the...

It doesn't cut it when you play someone with more experience than you. It has nothing to do with their form.

first game wasn't bad, you can skip that part to where I break down. edit: think I uploaded the warmup match by mistake. it was supposed to be a best of 7. oh well. off too bed, maybe I'll do it tomorrow.

Worst I've played in a while today. Decided to upload. Let the world see just how bad I can be :)

Welp, the thread kept getting bigger so I decided it was time to start reading before it was too late to catch up. Great videos! Some of the tips I think would set me back a few steps but some of them are pretty good for starting players! Hopefully those beginners will understand which tips are...

patience, skill, and intelligence. very relaxed fun style to watch. you're down there on the west coast now, you may meet his cousin who's also no slouch. Tri Dinh is his cousins name, prounounced tree dinhee. Right now he's only 2066, but two years ago he was fluctuating between 2250-2300...

Agreed, this video was a while ago and I'd like to think that these problems don't occur anymore. But that's not true. He plays this same, "base-lining" style with higher level players, just with more touch. Thursday he went undefeated, beating a 2300 (or maybe upper 2200 I don't remember...

the shuki vid you've seen before. just reposted as reference to something. dont worry osph, a little less work for you ;)

It's not showing up =[ edit: wow when I try and prove it, it shows up. edit again: nope it disappeared again.

bingo!

a 2 year of clean play beginner won't have anything deceptive. At least not on purpose. Unless all they practiced was how to be deceptive instead of consistent. The only benefit to having an "orthodox" style, is that the limit of your playing level will be higher. You won't get to a certain...

false. Deceptive strokes will come from unorthodox styles just as much as a generic style. It just depends on the player's level.

orthodox play is overrated. just go through the ball in a way that you're comfortable.
