LOL .. somebody has a lot of free time ...

the price is same ... and lets not guess how its going to be ... there are already reviews out there ... control is supposedly better...

Variation in spin , length and placement ... thats how you can shut it down .

To start with I would follow #2 and keep changing the placement .. reverse pendulum has a lot of sidespin , I am suprised that they are able to sidestep and use their FH from BH side .. I am concluding ( and I may be wrong ) that the placement is too predictable . my standard return in this...

Somebody noticed :P

Guys you do realize this is necromancy , right ?

+1 btw, who is that walking out on your profile picture .. sobers and kalicharan ? EDIT : Found it .. its Rohan Kanhai .. haven't seen it in a long time :)

Go to a tournament and lose some points fast !!!

It can been seen if you slow it down to 25% of normal speed. The receiver hit the ball with the edge of his racket and it bounced first on his side of the court

Have you already maxed out on the power of the rubber ? Meaning why is a faster / more powerful short pips with the same blade not an option ? .. just throwing an idea to the mix ... not an expert on short pips rubbers and you haven't listed yours in your profile .. so just asking ..

I agree USDC ... but there are ways to avoid it ... what happens is umpires don't call you/ your opponents don't protest and then it becomes a habit .. thats why I consider it a service to tell my friends if they blocking serves with their heads ... who knows they may get to a tournament final...

I personally feel by the simple nature of the rule , just having two umpires are not enough. At least two more are needed , who can basically judge from the returners perspective whether the contact is visible or not.

Guys just lay off ...

But I have the feeling LJK is not as smart as FZD from a game sense perspective .. technique was its close but FZD has better sense of how to approach a point given a game situation

The "anatomic" handle only make sense if its somebody else like Liu Shiwen ...

I think Kanak has the best possible draw he could have had given the players to go deep , if I was him I would be thinking "This is my chance"

@UpSideDownCarl The touch required to create a perceptible difference in dwell time, and when I say perceptible I mean by the person who is playing, does not come that easy . No matter how much @Der_Echte likes to disagree with me, you and I know how good his touch is. I find it pointless...

Its one of the more advanced concepts ... I will tell you the negative side of it for beginners, if they don't master the timing of the grip pressure change , it results into untimely tightening of the body and slow causes issues with the form where they are not able to generate enough whip ...

We have heard the famous story about your aggressive serve return techniques where you would take the ball earlier than your coaches would like you too .... but you are also famous as the person who lobbed down Chen Qi from 3 sets down in 2009 World Cup .. these are very distinctive skill sets...

It just feels so much more convincing from somebody who has been there done that and is still doing it !! nice post Der_Echte .. cannot agree with you more ... there is no bad play, there is no weird style, there is no junk rubber , its not a dark art if you understand what going on .. fear of...
