thickness is only important to get the right bounce. some 7/8" tables play better than other 1" tables. usually wood but not always. they will all perform differently. some are smoother so the ball doesn't react well when it spins into it, other's will allow the ball to do more off of it.

try adjusting to his serves better so you can win every single one of his like he wins every one of yours. What makes a player good? Learning to adapt to your opponent with your strokes... Right? if the opponent can do this and you can't doesn't that make them just better? I think asking...

Alrighty. First NCTTA tournament was Sunday. Won all my matches except one, where I was obliterated by a 2130 NCTTA rated player with no usatt rating. I felt I played terrible the entire time. Fun experience overall though. Other team may have felt I was disrespectful when I played down to...

Are you frustrated by it? If so maybe I should start doing that, getting the opponent to think about something other than the game is the smart thing for a player to do. Learn to ignore and play your game, getting annoyed at an opponent is a good way to get yourself to play worse.

test both directions of sidespin on your opponent, not only in placement, but in depth. While you thought it may be hard for penholders to deal with one type of sidespin, every opponent is different and that may just be the side that YOUR brain thinks would be more difficult.

Guess what I found today when going through the oldest stuff I could find in my icloud storage! Video of me, 4 months after picking up a paddle. Woah crazy, someone's holding my phone taking the video for me! I have no idea how they managed to get me at an angle where the video can see what...

Nah I don't know pu, I just talk to samuels and his father quite a bit, getting updates on how the kansas crew is doing. Right before samuel started school he won the U2000 in iowa. He was low 1700 at the time and shot up to over 2000 while also beating his dad for the first time in tournament...

I'm very sorry for you. May the goon squad have mercy on your soul.

you didn't name a rubber. and spending on extra doesn't mean spending less. at that point I'll just say spend 300euro at tt11 and get 30% off.

Just won intramurals at my university. Prize was a shirt that says Intramural Champion with our school's logo. It doesn't say a specific sport so I planned on telling people 1 on 1 basketball. I go to KU, where the sport was invented so I thought that would be an impressive sport of choice. But...

not that rare, I've been sick but unable to resist playing before. My solution, firstly brought hand sanitizer and before playing my opponent I excused myself and told them I was sick and because of this I won't be shaking their hand after our match. Me touching the ball may bother some players...

disagree. find me a good rubber for development that's cheaper than my yasaka extra I got for 25$ brand new. No chinese rubber since I would rather learn to deal with spin.

great setup. on that blade you'd be good with mark v, elp, fxp, or even no rubber at all. I think you're just fine on this one. you can't go wrong with any choice.

sick stiga viscaria. handle changed very professionally.

you should change the color of your initial post. I disagree with the 3-6 months to get used to a new setup. But that may also be because I've changed setups so many times. I can play fine with a new setup within a day, but I'll make some mistakes I wouldn't normally make when I'm learning to...

used blades.

no need to be low if you're backing off the table. unless you're so far back the ball is dropping in front of you.

Laistrogian, maybe I'll see you at regionals after I get my team through divisionals. Good luck against lindenwood, but you've got Pu

He's at school in minnisota right now, I still play with his sister and his dad. His dad is right at 1960. I also beat sam at our last tournament together in may. But in his defense, he had a LOT on his mind.

no who be it? I probably know them.
