If you have no control on the stroke then you don't have the stroke. Clearly the problem is that your stroke is too big you just told us. Shorten your stroke. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

One of my mentors had h3 and put it on tenergy sponge just as an experiment. He could no longer push/chop short balls, and that's an issue at 2100 level play. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You realize new forum members have no idea what you're talking about most the time right? I learn a ton from your posts now and they're also super entertaining. When I first joined the forum I had to wait for Carl to dumb down your posts for me. So many inside jokes that I couldn't pick and pull...

If you're a pretty balanced player, play your strengths. If that doesn't work play your opponents weaknesses Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't cross step. It I overextend with my forehand to the backhand it's going to be a point ender. I often even follow through hard enough to have a 360 with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

What's a half distance cross step? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ahh, smart to change back then. I think both the eternity and the extra would be good for development with quite a bit of control. But you know your game better than anyone and you know exactly what you want from your equipment. You be also used enough equipment to understand pros and cons to...

I take back my comment on waiting for Zlc-s to come out. Now I'm doubting they'll make it. The innerforce layer zlc is quite a bit thinner than alc already. Innerforce Layer zlc is 5.7mm Innerforce Zlc is 5.6mm Innerforce layer alc is 6.0mm Innerforce alc is 5.9mm Sent from my iPhone using...

if you didn't like innerforce layer alc why try alc.s? you chose the faster zlc blade over the slower alc blade. Why not wait for innerforce zlc-s to come out?

What am I missing? I didn't strike you as the kind of person to change equipment because someone else uses different equipment. So I feel there's another reason. edit: figured it out! I'm a dumby. you gave him your eternity

Decreases speed, adds flex. also decreases weight a bit. the primary reason I use the older model innerforce alc over the innerforce layer alc is because its .1 mm thinner.

I'm very excited for innerforce alc-s. Definitely changing to it as soon as I can.

That's what I was thinking too, the thing is, when he played the lower players his form completely broke and he honestly looked terrible. I also thought about your second response, that he plays better against people who can actually spin the ball. But come on losing to someone thats below 1200...

Today I played a very odd player. Long pip backhand inverted forehand. Primarily a chopper from both wings. But he also has a loop and counter loop with his forehand that are pretty strong. I started off being his first opponent, he's a new guy at our club. I lost 5th game. Great experience. He...

Table tennis is a rough balance. Here's just a few examples of what I mean. And the list really does go on and on. Confident, but not to confident. ---Too confident and you'll be swinging too hard, possibly tensing muscles you shouldn't be. Energized, but not too energized. ---Too energized...

Yup. Go through the ball quicker and you don't deal with as much of the spin. Once confidence is lost you'll play worse not only because you don't believe in yourself but also because you'll try to be safer and hit slower only to have the ball react more off your Raquet. Now what was really...

Watch video on what the mechanics of the backhand stroke are supposed to look like. Now go in front of a mirror and imitate that backhand until it feels natural. This will take hundreds of reps and you will break a sweat. If you don't break a sweat you didn't do it enough. Next try using it the...

A big problem is that you're even thinking his serves are illegal. He's got you not thinking about your game anymore and worry about him cheating on the serve instead of playing properly. Anything to get you away from thinking about what you need to do next. Think about when someone Cho's on...

You're 100% right, but you know better than anyone, that the itch to buy a new blade or rubber and switch to that for a while always seems to come back. Thinking ooo, that will be good for my game.

Testing equipment can be good, it can give you insight to how different rubbers and blade work. You can understand if the equipment you had before was good for your style or if something else would be better. Like you'll learn that as a looper that loves spin, you'll likely be better off with an...
