@nl Interesting. Do you find that when you spend the first game focused on setting up and hitting your shots it ends up being harder to study your opponent? I've had players better than me get pretty upset after losing because after the first game when I turned up after collecting data they...

Another reason I don't give "my best" game, could also partly be be that my play style is also developed in a way that loses me the first game I want to say "on purpose" but I'm obviously not giving them the game. Explaination: I play, testing all their defensive options against all my tools...

I can't play with my index finger off the paddle. I lose all control and end up holding the raquet way to tight.

To better not sarcastically answer your question (compared to my first answer). Penhold is really dying off. My coach, who was a professional female penhold player in her prime, recommends to upcoming children students to play shakehand instead.(recommends to the parents not the child). She'll...

Baal has openly said he doesn't think tenergy has any booster, but he can smell factory tuning on the esn evolution rubbers. The tuning won't last more than 2 weeks. The durability is supposed to be about 80 hours per sheet give or take.

The best ones are pretty good

Downsides: Harder sponge than it's competitor (t05) making learning the strokes correctly much more difficult as it numbs feeling more. It dies very quickly in comparison to T05. I can Literally use one sheet of t05 in the time it takes to go through 2.5 sheets of mx-p.

He played well against dima because dima isn't at the same level as CNT members. Everybody looks like they're playing better when they aren't playing against players out of their league. Also there's no way mizutani beat zjk in Rock,Paper, Scissors or a coin toss. I'm sure the ITTF would make a...

how aggressive? I've had a brand new unused calix I for over a year trying to sell for 100USD which is damn cheap for that blade, and there's simply no biter's after they test my used version of it. I ended up selling the used calix I to a friend for a very low 40$ because he loved the blade...

all good choices. depending on playstyle one may help more than others. video of your game would help way more than explaining your game :)

Sorry my post got cut off. Basically the rest of it stated that if I give my all and do poorly all day I have what seems like a wasted day. If I play the game for fun, win or lose the day doesn't feel as wasted since it was after all fun. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Really like this post. It didn't even hit me that what could be causing me to have no fun with the win giving the game 100% of my focus could be a subconscious defense mechanism to future failure at the same level of focus. Losing while giving it my all gives my brain no excuses, just simply...

Correct, a player in the background saw the video and requested I take it down. But that's fine anyway, that video wasn't reflective of much anyway. I played someone nowhere near my level so I got away with nonsense that wasn't a way I usually play. I also have completely fixed quite a bit of...

so you just haven't learned the more tolerance part yet? you do fight all the time after all.

oh okay, replace the word "player's" with "people" in my post then.

Come on bud. I gave you an out...

Nice respectable player's don't often get treated like crap. Why would he be used to it? The way he reacted was by standing up for himself which is better as it has potential of teaching the rude player that they can't treat people that way.

If you're too poor to afford the mizutani blade, what's stopping you from decorating your blade yourself or remaking the handle of your blade to imitate it? Hell, put a picture of mizutani's face on the blade for all I care, just don't go advertising that it is the butterfly mizutani super zlc...

Thinking about how not everyone can play the game sadly doesn't help me come to a decision or realization on much. I think the drive for most players is initially wanting to get better than your friends. Then it gets to a point where you improve so much that those peers don't really want to...

It's a bit disheartening though isn't it? Knowing you can play better and win but forcing yourself to play worse. It's kind of got me down, not wanting to play because I now know that I can be a better player but the expense is the enjoyability of the game. The enjoyability is the reason we...
