  1. How to know if my bh loop will hit the table?

    Whether you practice 30 or 300 times, the question still stands: Is there a good way to PRACTICE this shot on those 30 or 300 tries and avoid hitting the table or judge the ball length better?
  2. How to know if my bh loop will hit the table?

    On half-ling balls, i find it easier to loop with fh because my body is sideways and i can use my body to measure my distance to the table. But on the bh loop, i find it very uncomfortable. I dont know how close i am from hitting the table with hand or paddle. This causes me to hold back and...
  3. How do Pros train to "retain" a skill?

    Cool, I'll try to think of and design some high utility drills for me. Today I was training with a big box of about 80 balls (I think). I took the entire box and used first half to do 3rd ball loop with bh with some serve variation. Then 2nd half I did bh 2nd ball loop receive off long underspin...
  4. Need help on new racket

    Xvt ZL600 is great. W968 clone is good, but quite soft. Target 90 is just ok.., annoying throw angle. Target 3 is good, especially boosted.
  5. How do Pros train to "retain" a skill?

    Theres a few skills ive been practicing and focusing on. 1}looping long receive. I feel the fh is somewhat in the long term memory. I feel i can usually do this. Bh side i need more practices before i get into the 'got it' phase. 2) looping 3rd ball. Im doing this reasonably well...but i still...
  6. How do Pros train to "retain" a skill?

    So does everybody else also experience this short term vs long term memory? Is there scientific method to force it into long term memory? Like the idea about doing something else and coming back to the original skill sounds like a plausible technique. Or just practicing the same thing for 3...
  7. How do Pros train to "retain" a skill?

    That could be true. There are some shots that i always feel like i can do: bh punch, fh loop. Some shots i need to get the feeling before i can do: push, serve, bh loop, loop on dead ball.
  8. How do Pros train to "retain" a skill?

    Right, but in my specific example, there is a lot less variation. In fact it almost always plays out exactly like I expect. 1) I serve dead ball to LP backhand 2) LP kinda pushes/blocks back a dead ball 3) I go to loop it with either my fh or bh Of course, there is depth, height, spin, many...
  9. How do Pros train to "retain" a skill?

    In terms of developing muscle memory, which section of practice produces more long term muscle memory: The period of getting in the zone during the first 30 shots? Or the 30 "in the zone" shots? When would be a good time to end a session when you are trying to developing a specific skill?
  10. How do Pros train to "retain" a skill?

    Once you're in the "got it" zone, is it beneficial to keep doing it over and over? Or is the benefit to do it from the zero state?
  11. How do Pros train to "retain" a skill?

    A lot of times I practice a new specific skill. For example, I was practicing 3rd ball bh loop against LP push. The ball comes back dead and awkward, so its hard to attack for me. After about 30 times of doing this specific shot, I felt like I was hitting it very strong and consistently. It...

  18. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    I personally found Telson 100 uninspiring without booster, but a lot of others seem to like it. But after boosting, it has tremendous rebound for me.
  19. Experience with some other Loki rubbers - Arthur China, GTX Pro (inc)

    I have each of those rubbers you mentioned, and I generally agree with you. How do you find the speed/rebound of the Telson 100 compared to G1? Which is bouncier/faster? Do you find the W81 slower than H301?
