I can usually tell my rubbers are deadish when i start bottoming out more frequently

She'll most likely be shopping, she goes to nyc yearly to get diamonds from her main dealer for her jewelry store which we can just write the trip off on taxes. So if we were to play during the day she'll most likely be out and about. But if its at night she'd probably enjoy going to SPiN...

wow this sounds wonderful, not bringing any tt friends. Just me and my girlfriend going on business and I obviously can't go an entire week without table tennis! Can't wait to meet you guys and play!

Ill be in the Manhattan area in about a month, only location I know of to play is at SPiN. Are there any others?

I've tried boosting h3, it's still too hard for me though and i can't feel the vibration in my blade with it. That's all that deters me with it.

In my eyes there are two extreme ends of the spectrum. End #1 = The only games player End #2 = The only Drills player For a long while I was on the severe side of End #1. I would only play games because i didn't want to waste a higher level players time with me constantly missing the table and...

The idea of these slower balls and timing monsters that high level players do is really interesting. My coach always tells me, "no matter what your opponents timing is, fast or slow, keep your timing the same. She told me this once she saw me miss a couple slower balls. (not so much miss but...

then it should be fine, shipped however probably wont work as well. most players online don't want used rubbers on a blade regardless of how much of a discount it is.

are you selling it in person? this price should be fine if so, let new players test them out. Its a better deal than buying a premade racket.

depending on the condition of the blade. people tend to buy used blades but not so much used rubbers. I'm going to be selling a brand new (never exposed from box) calix 1 which runs for 170$ for just 100$ to someone soon. Also a used Carbonado 145 with a couple dings for just 60$. brand new i...

explaination on the way I hold my paddle. audio needed so turn on sound ;). I didn't know how to explain in the video why flat hitting is more difficult with it. One idea to why is because I have less stability with this grip. I'll ask my coach why it's harder to do, I'll see her tomorrow.

the training camp was at seemiller's facility in south bend, indiana. I'm not sure if you can sign up for them. We have a local player here in kansas who organized it with danny, as they played together as kids and about 8 of us went up there.

the other opinion was seemillers, which wanted me to open up with my loop and then back up for the follow up to do another loop against the topspin. I was very uncomfortable backing up as far as he'd like for me to but one thing he said about looping topspin was "the ball is going to make it to...

I vary both of these. My biggest strength is my touch, as I choke up pretty high on the racket, touch is easier for me than it should be. I can play almost equally as well without wrapping my fingers around the handle and just playing with the two main fingers. This way of holding the racket...

very interesting, a very strong player, Clifford Copley (Irl) who has the strongest shots i've ever felt prefers an all+, off- all wood blade with thinner sponge. He has more spin then ANY player i've played and was a top 20 player in the USA during the 70s. Then I find what you said about...

actually been sick and busy in general, surprised someone noticed I was MIA. thanks for noticeing, life is much better now than in the past.

does bottoming out happen more often with thicker sponge? it happens to me quite a bit as someone who does their blocks very passively. I use grip with thinner sponge and am a heavy brusher, for my drives and more solid blocks i've felt the thinner sponge has helped more than anything thicker...

I've only competed in non-sanctioned tournaments. i will be doing my first sanctioned one in june. Theres not a lot of sanctioned ones around here and traveling has been the only thing keeping me away. Sadly without a rating i won't be able to get out of round robbin as I'm estimated at 1700. a...

so will fx-s topsheet have the fx-p sponge?
