great! i'd love to see you at our club more frequently! ray's been improving quite a bit and I'd love to run some drills with you again!

@carl I find it odd that you're comparing if Zlc with Schlager carbon. Maybe I'm remembering wrong but when you hit with mine (after hitting with my leidy) you said it felt like a wood blade to you. It's carbon is deeper in the blade leading to a more wood-like feeling. I'm actually pretty...

Pm me, I'll send you mine, afterward pay me what you think is fair Edit: it's straight though, with laquered handle Let me know if you're interested and I'll remove the rasant grips that are currently on it to take pictures for you. It may actually still be ding-less I don't remember ever...

ahh, that's why I made the comment "maybe they just looked better on film". I had a feeling I was missing something. I can't tell how great that player and his serves are from video and It's also not a player I recognized. thanks for clearing that up. It was a great shot you had, but on film...

may I ask why this is your new fave shot? I've seen you hit quite a few better ones than this, maybe they just looked better on film.

I've had the shorts but never wore them to my club because I look ridiculous in them for what USA social standards have trained my brain think of what I should look like.. Good shorts, good quality, just not what USA player's would probably like. The Jersey on the other hand, is top quality and...

@ ttmonster cork serves don't tend to give me much of an issue (at least the ones I've come against). I'm sure it's just because I haven't faced high level server's yet. But generally I wait a pretty damn long time until I make contact with the ball on a serve. For my backhand flick, my...

is it incorrect for me to read serves the way I do since I don't watch the stroke or the contact? is it important to do this? or is it okay that I just watch the ball, it's worked for me so far and I hate being deceived by motion of a person so that's why I learned to do this.

This app has driven me crazy with service. The multiball is truly great for me because it increases my processing speed and reactions. But the service.... When I read serves I read the trajectory and watch the spin of the ball, I never have really watched the contact of someones serve. and when...

yeaaaa, I really was hoping Dan would be the one to get a net or edge ball or two. I guess what they say is true, the better player gets more nets/edges.

If you want to work on something against a player who can't return your ball, don't give them such high quality balls. There are balls they can hit, find the one's they can do, find their strength and play to it. Most new player's I won't give any good serves to. I don't just say after they miss...

Great responses to the thread, I agree that the different club atmospheres determine what to do differently. Thank you for the kind words and example ttmonster. I also want to thank you gmiller, for your kind words. You've been to our club and understand what it's like being a lower level player...

last point was great :)

That's a ton of progress, how old is this kid? where do you think his bus is going to stop?

Ehh, kids always improve. if the owner's son will own you soon so be it. You won today and that's what counted.

grats on the win especially playing like league play!

I think that if I were to honestly estimate my rating (haven't done enough tournaments to balance out yet) it would be between 1650-1700. To change topic. This next month I'm going with NO games. Just drills. My coach noticed that as we fix problems with my backhand "which is too up" by the...

Idk how defaulting works. If it counts as a loss then there would be a 1300ish player that was the worst. If not, my training partner who is 1650. (Lucky for me he didn't compete In u1700 or I wouldn't have gotten my medal :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Highest for a player I beat was just the 1780 all other wins were 1650 and below Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I understand that this isn't ALWAYS the case with lp players and I'm willing to adapt if my plan isn't working. I play well against higher level choppers/defenders compared to how I play against higher level aggressive players. Just because I beat players rated higher than me doesn't mean I...
