    They played the Semis at Westchester. In the second video above, he plays "beast" in the finals at Princeton. It was interesting talking to Azeez after the match. It shows you the kind of fighter he is.

    Here are two Azeez matches:

    My buddy! Where was the event?

    That has not been my experience at all unless you consider Viscaria and HL5 slow blades. What they probably mean is that Schlager carbon is not common with young Chinese players (many older experienced players use it with Tenergy). What I find is that good players use a good offensive looping...

    If you care, here is the match. Coaching tournament matches is not for me - it drive me crazy when I am supposed to be getting my player to play his best table tennis.

    Me today, I played tournament coach and EJ madman. Bought aTenaly and long pips and coached a friend who wanted to make me pull my hair out through his knockout matches in the U2000. He lost deuce in the 5th, coming back from being down 3-10 to lose 12-14.
  7. CNT Warm-up Matches Before WTTC May 13-14

    Yes. I am not sure he ever quite had it - he is really a great front runner, but the real issue is how he faces adversity. If you watch the LJK match, he was up 7-1 in the first game and lost that 10-12. After that, he lost the next game, and suddenly, both LGL and QZJ had to coach him.

    If you really believe that, you really need to see how the Chinese cheer their players on tour. Just not as many.

    Some people use Tenergy for years before replacing it - just keep it clean. No rush. The loops look good. Yes, Tenergy kinda loops for you, but that is the whole point isn't it? And you still have to loop to let it loop for you, so don't take too much from yourself. There are lots of ways...

    " Congrats. I think I remember this guy, he may be the one that I said has no backhand and that I felt that if you "transitioned him (one ball to the forehand, one ball to the backhand or vice versa since he liked to pivot) he would fall apart. I know that superstition too, and I try to tell...
  11. Bty Petr Korbel (Hungary) vs Tibhar Stratus Power Wood

    They are both good blades. The pricing difference is really Butterfly pricing and reputation IMO. Which blade you prefer is a personal thing. I know players who are better than I am who use blades cheaper than mine. You may agree with Butterfly estimation, you may not.
  12. Bty Petr Korbel (Hungary) vs Tibhar Stratus Power Wood

    If you like messing around with blades, it is cheaper than buying and messing round with cars, But if you want to improve your game, the question is why? If you answer the question of why, then you can see whether there is any point or not.

    This is an interview with Weikert from around the same time that Boll made his 80% of players are cheaters comment. http://www.mytischtennis.de/public/Buntes/7939/weikert---bdquo-die-wm-ist-unzureichend-organisiert-ldquo?seite=1 It shows what I mean when I say that Shahara and Weikert come...

    "Clench" your toes might be more precise.

    Steve Dainton is from Australasia I believe and is one of the marketing gurus behind TTEX. You can't deny his genius and since he is a legend in the field, surely you should be excited about it. I think we do have decent reasons to expect things to get better under Weikert. He can't...

    Okay. Let me put it another way. Nothing you said isn't in the public domain. Most of us would not divulge information that isn't in the public domain. As Baal pointed out, it is usually people who do not understand how vote buying works who parade the addition of more member countries as...

    Someone found this old match of mine... thought some of you might find it interesting in case you assume I was a looping junior. I am going back to the knee braces again - I wish I was as physically well as I was back then - I thought it was bad back then but I didn't really know how bad it...

    That's quite unlikely but in any case, your view is noted.
