I'm working on the latter part at the moment. All my strokes have such light pressure, this is partly why my game is so slow but I have good touch. My coach saw me struggling with penholders last night and told me on my blocks to hold the Raquet tighter as the looseness of my grip often made...

Would you recommend a penholder who rarely loops but to stray from mx-P and go to mark-v? He flat drives and is my practice partner for the time being while I'm working on improving against penholders. He's an rpb penholder and the only one around here that's not being self taught. But he also...

You've been here long enough to know that whenever a decent question is asked, the op gets the response needed, but then comes more informative discussions branching off. It's inevitable. Making derailing a difficult rule for a moderator to enforce. Especially when the detail is so helpful to...

Btw my block against HEAVY topspin is more of a raised paddle than just closing my angle. I also loosen my grip quite a bit on the block. I don't believe I've faced a golf ball strong enough that I'm uncomfortable blocking it with my backhand and this strategy. That is, after being give a few...

Actually I changed my mind, can we talk about Carl's new recreational practice partner? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Okay since this is a blocking thread now , if like a bit of information I'm unfamiliar with. I've seen players literally pull backwards on the paddle as an oncoming heavy topspin ball is making its way towards them. This produces an EXTREMELY passive block almost a double bounce of sorts. Could...

Basically no, slower rubbers wont help you learn better technique, just make sure you're using a blade with good vibration.

Final point since nothing's getting through to you. I never said I'm better than you. I'm talking to a wall.

my believed truths are based off people who have trained me for what I know so far. People who's career was table tennis. Literally getting paid to learn the game in the correct way and play well. These player's tell me something and I believe it. Not only do I believe what they tell me, I DO...

they play for kicks and want to just hit good shots? you can do that with ANY form. the "correct form" will just make you more consistent and conserve energy whilst giving proper leverage and other aspects. these players you're describing don't need your coaching they just need to play more and...

doesnt have to be a few minute long video. look at how NL's game developed with the help of ttedge.

people were sure the world was flat. guide them toward online videos or something instead of you. edit: you've stated there are no high level players near you so how can you be sure what you know is correct?

Sharing knowledge is good. -Correct but sharing knowledge with lower level players that will in turn inhibit their playing because you yourself don't have the knowledge. Not good.

Sarcasm and jokes are often hard to read over the internet. Arch please tell me you're joking when you say you've been coaching people.

Where's the black tag? I don't remember a model of this blade without one. Not calling you a scammer but buyer's be wary. It's his first post and a BRAND NEW cresail is hard enough to come by as it is. One that's missing it's tag may be fake.

There is no PERMANENT way to soften sponge by the way if that's the real question.

The ones made in japan are said to play better. Mostly because the japanese quality control is top notch.

Buy booster. Apply to sponge, wait. Apply more to sponge, wait. Glue onto blade.

These video's make me itch to play. I got a good 6 hours of practice GAMES in today, 4 hours of which were against penholders, And I'm still itching for action. Thanks for the post. but also NO THANKS for the post and giving me this itch.

which of the two is jp? edit: nevermind I see you saying this is him taking a match from jp
