As for @dingyibvs not being satisfied with the development of his base fh... I can understand why he is saying this... but there are zero serious flaws with his rally fh nor his at the table fh. When I broke out the .5mm sponged LP bat and chopped, he could do both a low to medium spin slow...

Even 5 or 6 years ago, no one in their right mind would accuse me of having efficient match footwork or any real footwork. When I started to help people is when it changed, also dropping from 250 to under 200 in weight helped some. It is proof I am slow to get there, took me 10 yrs to...

Maybe the number one thing I did not yet articulate to the forum is how damn well @dingyibvs saw the ball well and got it into the good part of his strike zone while slowing down the power and shortening the stroke... he increasing became more consistent in doing that... and down the road, the...

Hi @mamedium , I very frequently say what you said, but please simply believe what i said, I am so often very full of it, but here, am serious and accurate, even if I understated it... all to be polite and no over doing it. Everywhere i go, i strive to meet forum members and make friends and...

YES, I can CRACK that ball and make it leak 100% of the dog piss that is in the ball... but I use that shot less than 10% of my shots attempted. GO heavy (slow) or go home is my mantra.

Hi All, I happened to have business on the East Bay Area today... and when said business was done, I was able to visit the training garage of @dingyibvs . Anyone watching the TTD Daily Chit Chat thread has seen post after post of @dingyibvs assessing his backhand to be sub-par and does/did...

Yes, You buy the shoes that come with a fully funded dual knee replacement after 3 years if you are not already in a wheelchair.

There is no single correct answer in TT, but laws of physics, age, and body certainly do apply. You might show me something, don't discount it.

As much as Darker90 is for speed drive monsters, it has enough feel to do slow heavy topspins.

Gozo... it is simply because you have not yet figured out how to let ball drop some moar and loosen body/hand and make a real slow and heavy spin loop... This type hates this kind of ball worse than Dracula hates sunlight and garlic.

Genau... but @Jslick89 it is MOAR than just pure bat speed... it is also a FIRMING of GRIP right AT IMPACT... more correctly articulated firming right when ball gets into wood... It also takes a certain impact to penetrate a harder sponged rubber to get into sponge then blade for the bang...

@dingyibvs maybe you show me at Pleasonton next week, I am back at San Ramon Freemont TTA 1-3 times a week coaching.

OP, after you hit that relatively weak shot your opponent hit hard, fast, low and deep... you need to figure out where they are hitting the ball and figure out how to get body low with bottom of bat at table height... loose grip unless you can really see the ball well. Maybe you can figure out a...

On one level, I would say no way to your suggestion and put the onus on the players... but your are RIGHT @Dr Evil , if one wants a top rate international field, the one organizing it should go an extra mile to ensure it happens as planned by directing an underling some task to help or oversee.

Many of this group advanced past group in multiple events, something you can only do if you perform 2+ levels above your play level. One medaled above his level fighting brave, all fight brave and over achieved.

Recognize anyone? The finalist of the U1900 adults from Tacoma TTC, a lurker recognized me and we had a few minutes chat on how to play vs LP players. He ended up winning the next match vs that LP player who defeated the student of the West Bay club I coach at part time. (Freemont TT Academy)...

@neon, You will be impressed by how easier you can handle incoming topspin with Etika... but it will not spin a slow, low energy ball like Tenergy or Diginiski or H3.

zeio, You were really high on my respect list already, but by saying Hugo KNEW... WHEN the SMASH was gunna be... but DID NOT PREPARE (like other athletes) his visa... you gained more respect by telling it like it is. Hugo is acting the irresponsible one here by flying in without coordination...

Another mostly Indian training club.

Make everyone play with a bat inverted FH and LP BH. That would be a lot of fun. Not gunna happen though.
