We are back to this again. Sam Walker plays for Grenzau in Bundesliga. For MLTT: Lebesson, Monteiro, Olah, Pitchford, Provost, Nordus, Lindquist, Kim Taehyun, Ma Jinbao, Kanamitsu. Kasahara, Aida, Angles... all 2700+ players. I probably missed a few. All these players are still playing at a...

Unfortunately the Texas events are out of Houston and that means a 4 hour drive if I can figure it out. I would have done one for sure if I was still in my old East Coast area. I could ask around but other people is not quite the same as you. But I would definitely attend if it was...

This is where we disagree and toeach his own. You wouldn't say such nonsens about CCY. I suspect Kou Lei would still beat most of the Taiwanese national team or give them a good game if sufficiently motivated. Everyone loses, even Quadri lost to a Taiwanese nobody in one match. I am...

You are a Golden Viscaria user so the video is especially for you. Do you find the Golden Viscaria special? I have always thought it was a bunch of nonsense.

His main advantage is that he gets to select what he likes (if he doesn't like what it does, he doesn't have to pay to change it, and they send him quite a few) while we just take what we buy. But the point is that there is nothing special about the manufacturing tolerances vs what we get...

You haven't seen Zhang Jike's latest video.

Yeah, but still PingSunday made it available to.English-speaking audience lol. But I loved the video too much so I overlooked ERT stealing it lol.

Not sure what happened but Grenzau is playing a kid and Hugo is exclusively lobbing against the kid lol.... match just ended 0-3...

My point is that the equipment doesn't matter so much, go back to your all wood, like I said, I used them for most of my career, my best rating was achieved with all wood blades. But there are clear benefits to carbon if you stop taking the game as one of power and see it as one of spin...

Last thing, if you are too busy to get better, practice the appropriate attitude of acceptance. Book a camp at a good club when you are on vacation and have a week or two to practice. After the camp, give yourself 6 months for your level to change (be patient, improvement in TT is hard, even...

Thanks for the kind words. My point is that you are basing your opinion on your current mode of play without performing the kind of adaptation required to take advantage of a faster blade. I personally would start most players who have used an Acoustic on an innerforce or a Viscaria or if they...

Generating spin is not about hitting the ball hard, generating spin is about working on generating spin. Here is a fairly high level player (definitely USATT 2200+, he wouldn't have played the Lagos Open otherwise unless I am misguided) getting coaching/practice on generating spin. In fact...

I know lots of players who play better in league than internationally and vice versa. League has its own stresses and demands as well as international play. Quadri is in some ways getting better results and making more money as he takes care of himself. Obviously, coming from Africa helps him...

Best ERT video ever lololololol.

Find a really good coach at working with adults or find an internet coach if you are so inclined. Improve your ability to generate spin on serves and strokes significantly. Record and watch all your matches and trainings. With the help of a coach or good player, learn what you should be doing...

A couple of things from someone who used all wood blades for a *very long* time. 1) Carbon, even when arylate dampened, is just a different animal from wood in how it plays when it is outerforce. It is consistently rebounding and usually you need to dampen it with some stickiness to start with...

I largely agree with the caveat that star power is hard to get from younger players even when the quality is there. Pitchford is 31. He is still the #1 player in England and one of the most dangerous players in the world - he is playing laegely because his national team teammate (McBeath)...

Should Butterfly go back to the lab?

I will leave people to assess your insight from what you have posted and whether world ranking is the best way to measure whether Quadri and Dima and CCY were still playing high level TT into their 30s. But anyone claiming that random top 200 players can beat 2700+ players is not worth...
