Put a grip tape or overgrip on the handle. Usually it isn't the weight, it's the balance. You don't have to go all beast-mod on your blade to fix the balance. A few grams in the handle helps a lot.

My usual rule is not to be the one to push a second time. If I'm not comfortable with the serve or 3rd ball, I feel totally okay to push it back. But if my oppponent pushes back my push I want to loop or flick. This is partly because I suck at pushing, so it's seldom a winning tactic for me...

Aren't all the players at WTTC sponsored? So this is another way of saying Bty sponsors around 60% of top players.

It means it will get worse before it gets better. If it gets better. If it doesn't get better then it will get worse before getting even worser.

Warm up off the table before you start. Walk or jog around, and move all your joints around in circles a few times, especially shoulders, wrists, knees, hips. Bot a big production, should take around 5 minutes. But it's worth the 5 minutes. Warming up fh-fh at the table does basically nothing...

Which is more impressive, imo. HT isn't playing well this week by his usual standard. And he is still winning because he just wants it more.

+1 on the blade being too fast. To get spin you have to swing fast. If you are afraid your ball will go 20 feet past the table you won't swing fast, and you will tense up in a counter-productive attempt to control the ball. Rozena is not the problem, because while not the spinniest rubber in...

Interesting explanation of why SFPBE is so popular. Because the one I had was a lousy blade. Handle was nice though. Maybe pro players don't use overgrips because they make fine grip adjustments during the point and it's harder to do that with tape on.

Zimbabwe, and the entire Survival album. That and the Fun Boy Three version of Our Lips are Sealed. Cannot believe I didn't know their version before now. It's only been 35 years.

Of course Dan is hot. He's been training with Timo, Gauzy, Drinkhall, Tiago, and anybody else who gets a new endorsed blade.

All I know is I would enjoy watching that RR a whole lot more than this WC. Add in Ito, ZYL and CM to make a 6-way RR and that would be one awesome tournament.

And wouldn't it be simpler to use speed glue? Or are thse rubbers made for boosting not reactive to speed glue in the same way because the chemical properties of the sponge have changed? It just seems like if you are going to break a rule that everyone breaks (like speed limit LOL), and the...

The sp is just called moristo sp, it's by nittaku. I use 2.0 sponge on both sides.

Sad my favorites MI and LSW aren't playing. Will be rooting for the Olympic bronze medalist from PRK.

I am using Avalox P700 for same style w fastarc g1 fh and moristo sp bh. It is grest for the sp, and I gave up nothing on fh loop and serves. The P700 is a clipper clone type blade that was designed for short pips when that was dominant international style. It was on sale at tt11 last week...

Depends how you are going to use it. If you hit bat on table sometimes, or somehow might need to switch during a match (stolen bat) then identical matters some. But a lot of people just have two bats of same brand/model and same rubbers, but newer rubbers on the "match" bat. Then when the...

Thank you very much. I need to make extensive use of the mini step like he says at the end. Vs zero now.

I'm curious where this happens. I have played at a lot of clubs on the east coast, a few in LA area, and a few in europe, and nobody has ever suggested any kind of side bet (as in not part of the event). I wouldn't care to bet either, but if someone I wanted to play told me he would go all...

Play them more. Play them so much that you can play even their bad balls with feeling. Then you will be a better player than you are now.
