    So if a bad player plays you only in the long game you'll get less nets? And if that bad player's strokes tend to go into the net a lot they'll probably get more to trickle over than you. Hitting the net for my game, means I'm lacking control on that stroke. When I play someone that's bad I...

    I've often heard "the better player gets more nets" which is what I say when my opponent apologizes for their net. I've also heard "the nets and edges all even out". this is simply not true though, someone who's ball tends to be higher over the net surely won't get as many nets as a player who's...

    Shit this will be fun. I'm not in, but please make all the postings/trades and everything public for us to watch! Im rooting for Dan! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. Andy Murray prepares for US Open playing Table Tennis!

    She's making the balls pretty good for him, but his stroke isn't bad! Not like a tennis stroke. (Too much) awesome publicity! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Signals for partner in doubles

    A friend (Sam) was training for doubles with a lefty partner (Rob). Against Sam's dad (chewy) and some other random at the club (random). They were all around 2000 except the random who's probably like 1200 (when ratings are below 1500 I can't judge so this is a pretty random number) Now I play...
  6. Signals for partner in doubles

    If you don't play with your partner often or you have some low level players in the mix, I tend to not worry about any signals. I'll watch my partners serve and then be ready for their return accordingly. But when I play with my actual partner and we have narrowed down serves he's uncomfortable...

    I read fully. My response was meant to lighten the mood of frustrations people are having with pros faking equipment. I was taking it to another extreme. Like when playing a brain game and you read your opponents read on you. I was saying that the mind games of hiding their paddles could to...

    I'm imagining this applies to a constant strain on muscles, like the way ma long has to hold his push ups on his fingers for durations of time to strengthen his feminine fingers. Or like when you try to hold a weight to your side for a given amount of time. Plus you said 8 seconds is the...
  9. At the moment, who do you consider greater: Ma Long or Zhang Jike?

    I definitely agree about the plastic balls being better for ml. It's like he's never rushed and is always able to get into place for the perfect stroke. That's one thing I noticed in my game for the plastic ball. I play much better. Whether it's having more time to read the ball, more time to...

    This one is rough for me to believe. Haven't heard anything like this in my anatomy or physiology classes. Think I'd like to talk to my professor about this (I'm a t.a. For my physiology prof this semester). Maybe you're right, although something feels off. Also as we condition our bodies more...

    Woah, that's some hella mind games. infinity handle, with the words viscaria on the blade face, and the actually being a tb alc. Next thing you know we're going to hear, FZD is using tb alc composition but with an arylate carbon being made by nexy.

    wouldn't breaking the muscles down more be more helpful? As they rebuild stronger. Also I'm honestly really curious about studies on this as I've not heard it before. Is it 8 seconds of constant use? If so, in multiball it's not constant use. we should be contracting the muscles over and over...

    short multiballs? why do multiball then... the point of multiball is to get lots or reps even when your energy supply is low, learning to still do the drill when you're at your limit.

    Things went terribly wrong. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT boost your tables. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    So what I learned is just as my tenergy does my table dies. I poured Falco all over all the tables at the club. Our club members will be so happy when they find out I boosted the tables and they're like new again! They will surely praise me Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I don't see how the why the deceit is such a big deal. Any decent player wouldn't fall into "if pros use this I should use it" And if a bad player falls into it, well then that's good, the stiga blade has more control and for a beginner in this instance it was good for them. Newbies chasing...

    Yesterday I played on a frictionless table for the first time. I was AMAZED. Almost lost to a tennis player on the table but it was quite an experience. This table doesn't grab the ball at all. I tested this by trying ghost serves that were hit HIGH. I'd load the ball up as much as possible and...

    Only you can decide if it's worth spending the extra on a blade. To me, it's worth buying new sheets of tenergy every 2 months. To most other players, it's not. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Well I learned something today, I'm still yelling carbs when I score. It's much better than my usual "suck it punk" Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Went to a community center today. Recorded myself playing. Dunno if it was the nerves of being recorded, using a Raquet that's not my own, or just a bad day. But I played atrocious and so did my opponent. Opponent is 1720 defender. I think I'll upload even though I did poorly just so I can see...
