  1. NYC Manhattan area?

    Could it be a mix of corkspin and side? There was definitely a lot more kick off my paddle when hitting the right side of the ball during your loops. maybe my form is just incorrect when trying to block from that side.
  2. NYC Manhattan area?

    But surely if you could turn that side into more top you have them go even higher and even longer! I think it more so goes high and long because with as much sidespin as you have, people assume you wouldn't have as much top with it as you do. Also since it's a corkspin type of sidespin. The...
  3. Super Zylon Carbon with a surprise.

    ZJK SZLC has 70% control?! is that a lot or a little?
  4. NYC Manhattan area?

    I wouldn't agree that we're the same level, it may have felt close to even but I'm sure if Carl was able to get back in form he'd outshine me in a heartbeat. It really was a lot of fun playing with him and what impressed me most about his gameplay was how consistent he was with his hooked...

  6. NYC Manhattan area?

    I played quite a few players last night, lost to one. But he felt pretty damn good so there's no harm in that. Played from 4-9ish. Today I met with Carl at spin for about an 2 hours. We hit for a while and it was quite fun, met Michael Landers and we did get pictures, I believe he'll upload...
  7. Rebooting rubbers

    30 days is a long time. Does your booster really last that long? I used to get 2 weeks max out of kailin oil
  8. NYC Manhattan area?

    Maybe you could, after all, you are the one and only bh-man. But in the mean time I'll be going to wang chen table tennis club ;)
  9. NYC Manhattan area?

    Can't play on his deathbed if he doesn't get his eye fixed first ;)
  10. NYC Manhattan area?

    Health is much more important than a simple meetup. Praying for a quick recovery to allow him to get back into the game quickly!
  11. NYC Manhattan area?

    Thanks! I was actually about to call the wang chen tabble tennis club to talk to them!
  12. NYC Manhattan area?

  13. How to destroy somebodys confidence with one shot !!!!

    I prefer to imagine it as the red player always beating the blue player. The blue player playing well today and the red playing throwing a fit about it. Blue player wants to show he's worthy of trying against. At least this is the story I'll go with in my head.
  14. NYC Manhattan area?

    In manhattan now. would love to play with various forum members if at all possible. pm me if interested :) level isn't important, I'm between 1600-1700 myself but enjoy playing with everyone. whether it be 1000 rating to 2000.
  15. Guess the Rating

    So true, I can't tell you how many times a new player comes to our club and asks "who's the best player here" and I point to a table where our two best players are playing. They look so much less consistent that they normally would. Missing shots by what seems like a rediculous amount, getting...
  16. How to destroy somebodys confidence with one shot !!!!

    I toss my paddle on the table all the time, never out of anger of course.
  17. Tibhar Evolution is like Tenergy 05?

    just the first reply :) ;]
  18. "Feel of ball", affected by thickness of plies/quality management or am Im Crazy?

    Definitely agree, my coach has wanted me to keep up aggression rather than moving to a blocking game after my initial attack. She uses the term quick loop, and describes it as half loop half shot. Working on making more contact already at this point :)
  19. "Feel of ball", affected by thickness of plies/quality management or am Im Crazy?

    A friend of mine (pretty bad right now, working hard to improve, new to the game) has been developing his style to become a looper from both wings. I had told him my blade (nittaku violin) is really easy to loop with and get good power if you can graze the ball well. He however, does not graze...
  20. Tibhar Evolution is like Tenergy 05?

    loopers who graze the ball more than loop drive are said to have about 80 hours of use in their rubber before needing a new one. The issue isn't 2-3 months, its 1-2.
