Yes, the forehand is largely triggered a hip movement, not really an arm movement, so you can always activate the forehand on the backswing/footwork and adjust the timing. The backhand not so much, only in rare cases do you have the room to swing besides you to create a large strike zone. So...

How did the H3 testing go?

So what exactly are you calling a "conspiracy theory"? The idea that the CNT would have been happier with an SYS win? Or the idea that there was less celebration because the CNT would have been happier with an SYS win?

Japan needs Safesport as well? And Safesport training needs to be not just for how coaches treat students but the student's parents?

That's not my experience at all - but I do know people like you who grew up when Fed was winning a lot and are enamored with him. But that is no different from someone who grew up during the time of Jordan being more enamored with him than Lebron or someone who grew up during the time of Lebron...

I think if you asked the tennis world, you would hear that Djokovic is the greatest. It is outside the tennis world that people would make an argument for someone else. The tennis world sufficiently knows that Djokovic is unparalleled. I get what you are saying about popularity, but the...

Same here, I already smell some longer term booster that doesn't encourage much hope of longevity from me, but that is to be seen not guessed...

That's just his personality, more Nadal than Djokovic.

Being competitive is tough on the body. Hitting close to a high level but the problem is that when something works, I keep trying to stack something on it and then go back to square one because my body is falling apart. Trying to cut back to 3 days a week but I have an event on Saturday and...

Okay. Sorry i misreprsented you by saying that it only makes sense to brush against backspin. If that changes something material about what you have posted, please share what it is. My point was that brushing without compressing the sponge is a common misrepresentation of what happens when...

No, I am not assuming anything, you said that brushing without compressing the sponge is a bad thing, so I am trying to understand where you are coming from. The truth is that brushing without compressing the sponge is almost impossible, you need the ball to get to the wood to play any...

Great that this was resuscitated, finally placed my order.

You are not the first to argue this, I was discussing with a friend yesterday and he said that they should just fix the rules and let the best players play, China should get 3 players (more so given the extremely low level of some continents). Though whether that encourages the growth of TT, I...

He actually played through a lingering injury. There is a rumour that the real reason the Chinese team visited the US in late 2019 or so (my memory fails me) was that ML needed serious treatment/surgery for his knee.

I agree - a lot will depend on how Sora and Shinozuka develop as I think with their lefty advantages they should be able to support an XD partnership that is better than Hayata and Harimoto. Wouldn't be surprised if something like Shinozuka/Matsushima - Kihara/Harimoto wouldn't have done a...

What you are doing now witn bending the right knee works better for close to the table counterlooping. But for adding topspin to a base shot, not so much. You should not cave in the right leg so much, you should just push through to get back to your beginning position on most regular forehand...

Clicking is the sound of boosted rubber. Sometimes rises to the level of popping.

Yeah, he has some secret logic that he hasn't explained yet.

I didn't stick with it enough to like it, I have already become enamored with Skyline 3.

Even 64 is not terrible, it just doesn't play like the others in a noticeable way when hitting lots of topspins but I have played players who smash and do slow topspins close to the table and faster topspins or lobs away from the table who use 64 because their game is suited to softer rubber...
