Hi Tyce, Very good chance that is him. I did not ask his last name. He said he was from the Falkenberg club.

Hi TTD, Der_Echte and his big mouth met a very humble and skilled former Sweden National player named "Peter" near 60 yr old... forvive Der_Echte for not knowing deep enough history of TT. Peter is new to the East Bay San Fran and Freemont TT Academy should be very honored to have him help...

So I see @latej hit like button and he is similar minded - LOVES to travel and meet other TTers... I do not know what I would say to him or tell him about TT except to hit the local Schnitzel and Pommes Frittes place first with a few Hefeweizen before opening my big mouth. I would need to see...

@Fruitlover There are TWO rubbers come IMMEDIATELY to mind. original HAMMOND. That rubber has a VERY soft sponge... VERY easy to block off bounce, VERY easy to counter on the rise, VERY easy to open vs underspin balls. Tibhar AURUS SOFT (or even softer SOUND) So damn easy to get the...

Hey @Tony's Table Tennis , it is almost time for S-Jan to go one a two month rampage across the forum threads and PMs. It could be worse.

I didn't say my exact weight, but I was 10-15 kg lighter when @UpSideDownCarl last saw me, so he would have a decent guess of my current weight. Speaking of weight WAIT (pun intended haha) until you feel the WEIGHT of the spin I make with Aurus on the PPP. It will not be so easy for me to...

I do not think the TTD meetup is so worried about the LARC, my high toss serve that makes Next Level smile, nor any appearance of multiple kitty cats. I am probably 10 kg away from a much better fighting weight. At least now bending down to the ground to pick up stuff does not crush my internal...

I see Kairos has a Persson Power Play in his sig... PPP vs PPP is interesting.

I am 25+ kg less than my high weight of a few years ago, so there is less of me to go around. ALL of you TTD members can claim me... it is what I advertise everywhere I go and TT forums are GREAT for this kind of thing.

So the impact of taking the ball really late, it that you increase your difficulty/error rate trying to make fine, precise return and you make it way easier/predictable for opponent to attack you. My main point in articulating all these nuances is that is it REALLY worth it to wait to the last...

To go into a deeper answer about when to receive the underspin serve ball... with total disregard to spin... There are inherent disadvantages to taking the ball very late (when it is assumed spin is less). If you wait until last moment to impact the ball, here are some baddies you put upon...

I would go back to NL's earlier post where he advocates reading spin and choosing points of impact over knowing when spin is less. On serve receive for an example, against underspin, WAY better to take ball soon after the bounce. Why? Right after the bounce, there is max upward energy...

True. Banana easier with ball falling, straight flip better for top of bounce impact point. With the banana flip (bat tip is DOWN) it is so much better to allow the ball to drop, the more the better. WHY? The tip down banana flip has the moving upwards a lot... so if ball is falling, it has...

I meant to say their MNT Coach... a legend of steady BH play.

Thier men's KNT had a pretty serviceable BH...

Sometimes it is too late in the preparation cycle to do much more if not already done. One does what one can to make due of one's mental energy before matchday. Another way to help this is to go to tourneys with friends and a common supportive mission. Sometimes, if you are a veteran of...

Playing serious volleyball in position of LIBERO as a youth is some of the best falling down to ground and surviving the impact training for this.

Used PPP the last 2 years and bought TT11 out of their inventory multiple times as everyone around me wants and likes my setup in my sig... so I make them my bat at my cost... I am a terrible businessman and only an OK hyoo-man. :)

Innovative.

I start this thread to highlight to wonderful efforts and development of youth in the East bay California area. Der_Echte coaches part time in one of the area's big time youth training clubs - Freemont TTC. I get to see the developing talent growing there. Head Coach Shashin does so many...
