In the previous video's posted it looks like your shadow stroke is down and back not just back. Maybe I'm wrong, don't feel like watching it again =P. as a controlling player is your stroke genuinely pretty slow? maybe the shadow strokes are quicker? If this isn't why then I have no idea why it...

Today I wen't to a local, non-sanctioned tournament at school (I take online classes at a community college), I knew ahead of time I was going to win, guaranteed. Though the tournament was easy, people got pretty annoyed that I was there and started complaining that it wasn't fair. Is it messed...

Do you start lower in the mirror strokes by chance? more movement could cause it.

oh my bad! I took it as a critique thread rather than just a rating guess.

I wouldn't go faster, you'll try it and like it at first, but then you'll say "nah, I played better with my old blade. if only this blade had a bit more flexibility." At this point my friend, you're on a bad track to becoming an Equipment junkie. Don't listen to Carl He's clearly undercover...

By the quality of their shots and ease that they execute. I'd guess pretty damn high, over 2000 for sure. White shirt reminds me of adam bobrow's play. Either they're very good, or they both suck and play eachother all the time and are that comfortable with eachother's spin that they can do...

Btw this isn't EXACTLY my loop, I couldn't take a picture while going down on my leg comfortably. Second photo I didn't go down at all because I couldn't get my body in the mirror while having my paddle behind me not hitting the bed sorry. ANYWAY, my loop doesn't have a lot of forearm snap but...

i'm taking a picture now. sec.

Without knowing you and watching, I would guess a lot lower than what you are. 1500-1600usatt. It looks like he's trying to play a game that his body can't keep up with anymore with the loops and smashes and should move to more of a blocking game in my opinion. Missing too many easy shots...

If I'm thinking of the point you're referring to of mine correctly as the "never losing sight of the blade point, even on loops". She also showed quite a few clips of ma long looping where he wouldn't put the paddle backwards either. I think it's a chinese thing for optimal play, if you don't...

I was taught that coming accross the body on ANY forehand stroke is a bad thing. But then the way I was taught wouldn't work for Carl if he has shoulder problems. My coach starts her students off without adding in the forearm until their stroke is ready for it. The way she explains the stroke...

yea nexy is a brand that makes extraordinary blades that are pretty unique. they tend to be pretty smooth on the outer ply of wood so it took more glue.

okay, then add another layer or two to the blade. Nexy blades are generally a lot harder to get to stick so I had to have more glue on them when I used them. It's a common problem. Just add more glue until you can feel that it's enough. When the glue dries you can touch it and feel if it's...

tibhar evolution mx-p. So many people I know with this same issue on the rubber. Maybe because it's pretty porous. Anyway, just add a couple more layers than usual on the rubber. After gluing one layer let it dry, then glue another and let dry, then repeat. easy solution. I use nittaku finezip...

Gotcha, I believe it is fair. If the europeans want an advantage they can spend all the money and time investing in creating a new rubber the way the chinese did. And they can choose to not have it for sale to gain some advantage the way the chinese did. The chinese chose to have an advantage...

It doesn't need to be labeled differently because it's the same topsheet. The topsheet is the only part of the rubber that needs to be verified for ittf. The only rule about the sponge is that it can't cause the topsheet to change in any way, and the thickness of the rubber all together cannot...

Mizutani vs innerforce zlc, I've used them both for extended periods of time. Both are great blades Mizutani has less of a "woody feeling" since the carbon is right next to the limba outside ply. The innerforce for me, was much nicer, since the carbon is next to the inside layer it has more...

Your stroke looks just like another club member's stroke here. Do people consider you to be an awesome practice partner? I know his strokes are very pure and consistent so most people love playing or doing drills with him even though they may be a higher level. +100 for this post.

I don't think it's an issue, the color of the sponge tells players that they have something different, why do they have to go around telling people, "I have a special sponge", when all someone has to do is look at their paddle from a distance to see that. There are other rubbers like this...

Had a lot of problems with my last message sorry, editied. with some background and the quotes. I'll bold the background.
