Which player are you in the video?

Is Juic still in business?

Sorry for your loss! Glad to see you are still around whatever the form or fashion. Got a few old heads posting in the last month or so. Glad to see that life exists and continues outside of the forum lol...

If you want to watch it - women's final on now, Quadri vs Omar coming after that is done...

Shoulder is really the upper arm. Ti Long has a good video he just released on fixing it. It's pretty much what I would try to get someone to understand. What I like about it is that he also shows a high level player having the same technical issue so that people can realize that unless it...

Hmmm... shadow training is not valuable to you?

I have large hands, but I prefer using handles that most people find too small or too flat and to use grip tape. But how I hold the racket nowadays is more similar to how Persson/Karaksevic/Moregardh/Bengsston hold/held it. Some people play shake hand with penhold rackets, and it isn't because...

Probably shouldn't be responding to the same post twice, but Carl is making what I think is a good point and I want to make some subtle points about it. To make an all wood blade faster, you need to play with the outer wood plies to increase the rebound and the thickness of the inner plies...

So company after event at SPIN bar, had company ping pong tournament, but was allowed to use my personal racket. Since the word had gotten round that I had a national ranking (that is how rumors work) and that my playing level was way above everyone else, I played with the racket though I would...

Long V to me felt like a wooden racket without any serious carbon upside - obviously opinions and quality of rackets differ. Your views will be interesting.

Over time I learned to just stop thinking that extreme racket care made a big difference and used water or my breath and my hand. I use the protector sheets to keep the right level of tack.

As long as you feel you will have enough time to break it in, go ahead. I learned over time to force myself to stop giving a lick about my equipment unless the glue job was do bad that the rubber was coming off. Because once I started the match, all I wanted to do was focus on the match. So...

NDH, Actually, my experience in life and business tells me that a lot of successful people do well by ignoring all the things that make their arguments untenable. As a great philosopher once said, it is easy to resolve a contradiction by making a distinction. So people end up making...

Wait, you said I can't beat you with a handicap of 7 points. We can resolve this with a match. No arguments. Just a match, best of 7, with objectively demonstrable results. No argument or theory. Like I said, I have too much success doing many things in life to put much value in your...

I think it makes sense to put your money where your mouth is, brokenball. How much are you willing to risk on the idea that I cannot beat you with a 7 handicap in a best of 7 match?

So to fully be transparent, here is my play in 2012. I have clearly gained a lot of weight which is not necessarily a good thing...

So I am currently in Philly, went to my old TT club, met up with some old friends and hitting partners and did a lot of hitting/training. Played two matches against tough opponents, got lucky in winning them both, but since I have to travel light in the era of paying for bags, carried no...

I don't think it makes sense to apologize for how you look on video, the people who mock how others look on video are people who have never recorded themselves or people who are mocking other people who like to pretend they are pros on videos. Recording yourself creates self awareness of how...

Well, don't blame it on the filming, filming is important to learn from and has zero impact on the match other than your mental awareness of it. Try to figure out what about your mindset the filming is adjusting and then adapt to it. The human brain is a correlation engine, it is easy to get...

First of all, the opponent has a weird ball (doesn't topspin) and he is reasonably consistent (which is what TT is really about). It is common to struggle against these players until you get used to their game and adapt and one should be proud but not arrogant about it, especially if one...
