  1. how comfortable are you with hard (53+) rubber on your backhand?

    I honestly don't know how to use anything soft. Okay, that's not true, but I played with Big Dipper for a while so I am used to playing with hard rubbers, currently using Golden Tango on both sides, but going to test Dignics 05 for a bit. And I have used D09c before. I just like the way...

    How do you know it is a problem?

    For completeness, I met Brett when he put out videos asking people to send him serves and worked with him on my serves after I had already had some serve coaching, but not in a way that put everything in a structure that made me realize how important serves were for separating player levels (but...
  4. What do you think the no.1 Korean amateur player's rating would be?

    For USATT, the zero probability of losing is roughly 250 points but obviously it is just a number. The distribution would look a bit different if it was spread over 500 pts. Rating is fun for people who like to measure. But other than seeding and sometimes to estimate an opponents skillset...

    One thousand serves is nothing. Just like one thousand forehands is nothing. It all depends on how you are trying to develop your game, we are not pros, but regardless, talking about the results of one set of matches after practice really narrows the horizon. What goals did you have before...
  6. Post your latest EJ purchase

    Ready to play. I had better like this because I cant move the rubber to another blade lol.

    :LOL::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:. My game used to be much less orthodox (I used to block mostly dead or with backspin, play mostly backhand and drive forehand). And a lot of time, when I beat a player better than me, they felt it was a bad loss. I guess now...

    One of my favorite chess books when I played was "Decision-Making in Chess" by Viacheslav Eingorn. He points out a style reveals itself no less in it strengths than in its limitations. Being Unorthodox in many things gives results just because it is unorthodox. But sometimes, being unorthodox...
  9. Is there really a difference between ESN hybrid rubbers?

    There are definitely differences in sponge, tackiness and pip structure. So it is up to the user to decide.

    This video brings a smile to my face as this is a shot I am notorious for as well, even though I doubt anyone would call it unstoppable lol...

    The thing is that you have competed at high level in other sports, so I can't completely disregard your viewpoint, maybe my view on video is too reflective and pro-coaching/learning and not focused enough on competition in the moment. But as you get better, when you play challenging matches...

    That Harimoto can do it (Truls obviously isn't using D05) means there must be an approach... but maybe he just flicks topspin lol...

    It is hard to argue with the person who knows everything about what he should do so I will stop doing it.

    There are levels of knowledge like I said, and everyone explains something differently with different stories. So I understand what you are saying but it doesn't mean what you think it means, it probably speaks more to your confidence in your abilities than to your understanding.

    This video isn't technically detailed, but it is philosophically comprehensive. If one understands the philosophies and tools he gives you for improving your aim etc. and then gets a coach to teach your process and technique, good things will happen. There are some advanced things he doesn't...

    Nah, there is very little benefit to not recording anything other than that maybe you have a mindset that doesn't want to get recorded - this is hardly about social media, it is more about using data to make effective decisions. The human mind is a storyteller, it doesn't really tell fact from...

    He can also record the matches himself, you are not obligated to share footage with him. Obviously, you can be nice and do so, but you can also just forget to send it or stuff like that. That said, if he plays you better and smarter, you get better and smarter about your game and develop new...

    You are pushing him, so he is trying to push you. It is a good thing thing for both of you. You may not like it because you want to remain on top, but if you have external competition, you will appreciate what he is doing for both your games.
