The damn thing won't upload properly, so I'll just leave this here.... http://i.imgur.com/fGI1xQV.gif

I'm pretty sure that's not a flat hit just based on how the ball dips after it comes off the table.

While efficiency and speed is great for improving and really pushing one's limits when it comes to sports especially, I do need to bring up one thing that came to my mind when I read Tony's post: Knowing how people are worked to death doing crazy workdays in labor jobs, I wouldn't be so fast to...

Well, for some context: Often when I play, we will do a rotation. Winner stays, loser goes, next in line comes. There will be a large group of people standing on both of the sides of the table. Balls whack people in the face all the time. If the row of people wasn't right up there close to the...

It's not on cam, so it didn't happen for all you can know. You don't need to point that out on every single thing I say. It just makes you look immature with your constant sarcasm. Still, what's so hard to believe? Isn't it just a mistake?

My biggest concern is developing my technique in a direction that'll be sustainable and safe. I do some things with my arm and timing which isn't good for quality nor for preventing injury.

I can remember doing a handful of these, but I won't claim to understand why. The one I can remember clearly is when I served the ball right into a bystander's face. ;) So I take it that it's not a serious mistake?

Hahah, that video. Why exactly does that happen in the first place?

I had a chuckle when I read "stolen". So evil they are those Chinese, getting good at something. :rolleyes:

I haven't watched a second yet and you've got my like.

@rokphish You'd be surprised at your improvement if you start drawing somewhat seriously now and see where you end up in half a year. I took a look at the last page I posted, and goddamn the left head is HUEG. Nevermind the anatomical faults because I haven't got to fixing them with reference...

@NextLevel What I'm most impressed at is Allen's short game.

@Sherrieh Likeness is one of the hardest things to really nail down. However I think you will benefit most from simply improving your line and your construction of objects in 3D space. My advice is to practice drawing continuous straight lines. That's all! No going over a line twice, no...

The issue I have with EmRat isn't so much the information he's presenting but the guise it is under. He's disguising simple, basic things as some kind of ancient form of Chinese art that the western world hasn't caught up to. :rolleyes:

So if I hide my BS behind some fluff and a smoke wall, you'll buy it? Isn't that exactly what he is doing? Give me a break. :rolleyes:

Everything he says isn't necessarily bad, but what if I told you the same? Wouldn't you doubt it, because you know I don't really see the big picture and you're not even sure where my advice is coming from? How is he different?

@Der_Echte That's one of the best things I've read in some time. Would anyone happen to have a picture of exactly the blade/WMD being talked about?

Boogar, I don't think you want to use "transcending" in this context. EmRat's talk is probably not terribly transcendental in your mind. Condescending is probably closer to what you're looking for. :rolleyes: @Boogar The question here is if you're really gaining anything or if it's correct...

I did find it funny how EmRat compared an obvious amateur player to a professional who's been said to have perfect technique. :rolleyes:

Doing stuff like elbow close to body and only using the hips to rotate will most likely cause injury for someone who doesn't actually know what's going on. That's my experience at least. When you buy into this crap and start trying to "implement it into your game", you will form habits of doing...
