You probably just got outplayed, unless you are 100% sure the pips was the only thing that made you lose. If your opponent is playing offensively with his pips, it wouldn't hurt to back up a little bit. It doesn't hurt to be patient either, since most likely, there will not be much (if any)...

So you are Steve, the lefty penholder? I have found another one of my kind. Judging from the video, the most glaringly obvious weakpoint of yours is that you aren't so great at reading serves. You didn't have to push so much in that match if you realized that a lot of them were half-long and...

Raising the height of the net only limits the shots that we can do now. Lower shots will no longer be possible. Whatever you did with the higher net could also be done with the normal net height right now. I have no idea what you mean by: "due to the angles the higher net allowed me to...

I do know that good lobs have lots of spin, just not enough to be considered heavy; otherwise, it'd be a high loop. But back to the question: can a high, light backspin shot be considered a lob?

not a lot of backspin. Plus they are high. It depends on what your definition of lob is, I guess. To me, a lob is a defensive stroke played away from the table that doesn't have loop/chop amounts of spin.

To me, he's a lobber with pips, that knows how to chop a little. If you hit hard to his backhand, he essentially just lobs it back with a small downward motion. I'd classify him as a fisher/lobber, with the way that he plays

Counterlooping the opening loop. I counter the forehandloop for most of the video. Then I counter the backhand for the last 5 minutes

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Phillippe Dassonval. I'm sure you know him

No problem. I can kill two birds with one stone by doing third ball and fifth ball attack.

A bit late, I finished for today. I'll do that tomorrow though! As for today, I practiced counterlooping the opening loop. I'll upload when my mate sends me the video.

If you guys want to see a video of me doing something specific, now is the time to ask. I’ll be playing soon

You don't look overweight at all. As a lefty, I can give you some service receive tips. You know that your returns are sometimes too high. When somebody serves something with sidespin, it isn't a bad idea to simply go counter to the sidespin when you do your push. You should try doing this...

Sooooo, you have recordings of matches from different angles. Can you share the full videos of those with us?

I gave a really long talk about service deception a few weeks ago to a teammate of mine in college. There are a lot of factors that go into service deception, so I'll talk about them one by one as I remember them. This is a lot easier if I made a video of this to demonstrate, but whatever...

Clearly, Xu Xin read my thread about RPB blocking and became enlightened as well, giving him the backhand he needed to beat Fan Zhengdong No doubt about it. You're welcome XX

Just because he read the service better shouldn't mean that you can't attack the third ball. Was your opponent attacking your serve? If he was, you shouldn't have let that happen. Don't serve half-long, because you give your opponent a chance to attack. If you know how to serve short, you...

And there we have it folks. Xu xin 4: 3 Harimoto Tomokazu I need to rewatch this later

Surprisingly enough, I was actually trying to change my technique a little bit in this video. I know my forehand loop was wrong somewhere, and so I recorded this video to try to fix it. I usually have an uglier stroke that I find unwatchable. I don't hook my forehand loops, unlike a lot of...

He seems to have a youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/radioheadnyc/videos?shelf_id=0&view=0&sort=dd

Of course he's still around. Robert has had multiple clubs. As of right now, Robert owns a club in Flushing (where I live). It's this: http://aacct.org/ny/index.php I happen to play there quite a bit when I'm Flushing. Which of his clubs have you played in? I've never gotten to play in his...
