Funny. I need to show you our 2000 rated players then... Because by the looks of them, they're way better than the man in the video I posted. I don't think you know how to judge how good someone is. something tells me every player on the other tables in this video is better than you.

This old man at my club on the right was about 2200 at the time of the video. I'll see if I can find anyone closer. This year at us open he won the over 65 and got 3rd in over 60 video not working posting from phone so you'll have to click the link

I figured since I estimate myself around 1700 that I should do the u1700 and u1900. If I were going to sandbag on purpose I would definitely just only do lower rates events but I'm not doing it on purpose. I would try to win. I'm just saying if I lost I don't think I would mind. As for the...

Arch, come on.... You're telling me that you've guided players past the 2000 mark by simply telling them to slow down and not kill balls? Anyone near 2000 already plays the types of balls they're comfortable with. And you say being stuck at low 2000 like its a bad thing. I'm 21 years old...

In terms of feeling el-p is closest to t05 In terms of amount of spin and speed the rubber helps generate on a stroke then mx-P is closest to t-05 05 has higher throw though.

I go numb to the woody feeling of a blade I've used for a while. Whenever I try anyone's blade, since it's different in some way, I can feel the vibrations that are different than what I'm used to. This used to cause me to think "oh shit this would have even better feel than what I'm using"

They're actually leaving it up to the tournament committee to whether or not a player can leave round robin without a rating, not all sanctioned tournaments use this rule. If they see you blowing opponents away they won't let you leave

Very impressive game, should have posted that with your guess the rating thread that you said someone guessed 1200. You made your opponent pretty scared in that first game. Don't feel like watching the rest but something tells me he lost the fear and gained confidence. You get a lot of rotation...

If only this would work the other way around ;[. Playing someone with perfect form and mirroring would be nice.

Lets not get ahead of ourselves here ;\ On a serious note, I do gain a lot from playing at these types of events, learning how to deal with non-quality balls is just as important as learning to deal with low, fast, spinny ones. If you don't practice on capitalizing on lesser quality balls...

I'd believe you if I hadn't seen you write this before haha. either that, or your version of a long time is about one year ;)

As someone without a rating I think I'd be okay losing to some pretty low rated players. It would give me a lower starting rating, and when you have no rating you can't get out of round robin. A lower start rating would allow me to play and win the prize of a lower tournament in the future. So...

lol both answers were good, I think I mostly just like responses to my replies because I like to see people talking to me :p

I wanted to make sure you'd come back to this thread by replying to this post. I wanted to make sure you knew your post didn't go unheard. It gave me a genuine laugh and there were other likes on it as well.

I'm lucky, whenever new students go to my coach and have equipment questions wanting to get their first "real" paddle my coach always points them to me. I was able to sell everything I had to players who would benefit from it. I wasn't stuck being down so much money. Also because everything I...

This is funny but I also think incorrect. They have other tournaments as well, not just table tennis, and the only regulations to enter is by being a student. It's not run by the school but the school gives them funding. I don't think they can deny students

I haven't done a sanctioned tournament. First one is this april. You asked how I know I'd win it fairly easily. For this it's not just the players I play, but we have a league at a local club with approximately 25-35 players playing every week. I fluctuate between 1650 and 1800. Right now I'm at...

I had fun, I'm always willing to play with low level players. Also I knew some people that were there, that's how I heard of it. Most of all, One of my favorite parts of table tennis is experiencing play against different styles. Learning to apply my style against all styles is very important...

Your original post says jp03 on bh, I'd edit it if I were you ;). Loop and initiate easy = soft rubber where you can feel the ball make contact with the blade. evolution choices: fx-p, el-p Bluefire choices = m3, jp03 Expensive choice= Tenergy 05. Andro choice= Rasant Grip. I only...

I had to get rid of all my rocket launchers so I wouldn't be tempted anymore. Closest thing I have to a launcher now is my only carbon blade; Innerforce ZLC. Whenever I get the feeling that I could use more speed I go to this since it has such great feeling, but then I always come back. Holding...
