that good player was seeded 2nd overall, his friend won the whole thing top seed was only 5 points higher than 2nd seed. Felipe Morita, was the winner

games were close, deuce deuce 11-9, 3-0 but I felt it was more just a good matchup than me actually being better than him. yea only one advanced. also no money prizes for any event 1900 or below just medals.

quarter's are where I faced him my partner. He lost in finals. In the open I played 3 people in my rr open group one was only 1360ish if I remember right, and one was 1780's. the 2296 was obviously the one out of us to advance through the rr. I'm pretty sure he played down to me pretty bad...

substantially. the way I've always looked at it, they put the LP there because that side is weaker. It's like saying "look over here! here's my weakness!" I have no backhand so I put LP on it. So I'll slow loop to the lp and then it comes back with backspin and I'll just keep building up the...

Oh! Forgot to mention, in the u1700 I did t play a single player that had inverted rubber on both sides. All of them were either medium or long pips on at least one side. Some two. So probably not reflective of my actual level in the 1700. I'm sure if I played some inverted players they would...

Tournament went well today. First place in u1700. Lost to my training partner in u1900 In the open I lost to a 2296 player but I put up a fight! (He was probably holding back conserving energy or something). I won first game with him 11-7 then he won the next three; 10-12, 12-14, 9-11. Even...

All glue works fine, some just work better in different aspects. SEAL your blade. pick a glue, go for it practice makes perfect, you'll get better every time you put a raquet together.

Today I drove a car. Arrived at my location. Hit for 20 min. Then drove to hotel to lurk on the forums before sleeping for my tournament starting tomorrow morning.

+30 to kokain's list.

#4 The illness one is often me. I don't feel I play better or worse but I let the opponent know beforehand that I have a cold and out of respect for them I'm not going to shake their hand at the end of our match.

So I spent the majority of the night not playing and talking with my coach and a few other players. I asked her about my serves, first the backhand, she said it's fine. Then I brought forth some points like "but is it wrong to use my right foot to stomp instead of my left?" she thought for a...

Yea sealing is necessary if you use a thick glue (which you need with a porous rubber like mxp.

Video is awesome thanks NL. Unfortunately, although he says I can use any type of tool to lock my arms and practice I only like to use top of the line equipment, so until I can get the ninja I'm SOL.:D Actually very useful though and I know quite a few players that are trying to reduce how big...

Today I went to my club around 5:30 pm. I hit a bit, played only two matches. One of which I won vs a player I usually struggle pretty bad with but have beaten a couple times in the past. The second of which I lost (to a player I've never beaten). I then spent the rest of the club time (until...

vario clean, nittaku finezip, donic blue contact is the best but if your blade isn't sealed it could damage it the blade upon removal of the rubber later.

Okay. Posting this from in club right now. Apparently a lot of players here have a problem with being on video like it's going to capture their soul or something. One said he didn't want tournament players to see his game. Sorry for no film. But on the other hand 2 things I noticed. Firstly I...

I also want to apologize to everyone for arguing especially on serving which is something I'm not able to practice and not going to ever be able to practice any time soon. So I got extra defensive. And there I go defending myself again Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

@monster Thank you for opening my eyes to the fact that I've been so defensive on a thread asking for criticism. I agree with you to an extent (haha here comes another of my disagreements). I see the problem they're staying about my forehand serves. But what I still don't see a problem with is...

I toss the ball a bit up to my right, so moving from left to right WOULD be going into the ball. Secondly I've already talked about how service isn't something I'll be having a chance of practicing any time soon. All my serves are learned from in game situations. I don't believe there's a right...

@ ttmonster do You think if dima had his body facing toward the table instead of sideways he'd still use his left foot to stomp? Imagine a right handed player For forehands you transfer weight from the right side to the left for power. You're telling me on backhand's I also want to transfer...
