  1. Need some new shoes, need advice

    I bought the ASICS Gel Blade 5 from Amazon. They are decent. Actually, I found that the basic ASICS gel model (the barebone one) had better cushioning than the Gel Blade 5. However, I think that after few sessions my feet have adjusted to the shoe. So no complaints. But please bear in mind that...
  2. Do you change game/tactics as you get tired?

    I had also been bothered by this question in the past. How should I play OR what is my plan B when I get tired. Well, after searching for the appropriate answer to this question for several years, here is what I think and this applies to my game. Either I should practice two playing styles or...
  3. Are you playing against Timo Boll?

    Hey Der_Echte, My point was that - "Are we totally mesmerized by our opponent or are we thinking objectively?". I used Timo's name, as I wanted to emphasize on the fact about the mental picture we create against someone whom we are playing with.
  4. Are you playing against Timo Boll?

    Well this was the question my coach asked me during one of my matches in a tournament - He said emphatically "Are you playing against Timo Boll?" (Well a disclaimer, I am so respectful about Timo that I took the liberty to use his name, but you get an idea. I am just trying to refer to a world...
  5. Lack of self-awareness when serving illegally

    Most self learners, when trying to understand on how to generate spin on the ball often miss out on removing the non-serving hand during their follow up action. An easier example which I think most of us could relate to would be to serve and not turn into a neutral position but being standing...
  6. Wearing glasses- varifocals or single vision?

    I use Crizal transition lenses. I cannot wear contact lens as I have dry eye syndrome. I haven't faced any issues so far.

  13. Timo boll - waldner 2017

    On the second table I can notice Karakasevic - Petr Korbel having a match. :) This is a great match as Waldner is an epitome of game play. But my favorite player is Karakasevic and its so hard to find his match recordings (sad).
  14. A personal birthday greeting from Paul Drinkhall

    Happy Birthday !! Have a great one!
  15. What handle type do you use

    Ok, here is the thing. I recently switched from FL to ST handle. Primarily because I felt that it feels nice to hold and in general was more comfortable. However, when I swing it, it does seems sometimes that it would fly away. Anyhow, It has never been the case so far that the racket flew away...
  16. I am blaming myself in matches, how do I stop?

    Guys, Amazing, amazing inputs. I used to struggle with the same issue and there was a point where I damaged my racket by throwing it at the ground. However, I figured out that Training - It is all about me, what I want to learn what I want to achieve and how it should be. Proper form, proper...
  17. Drive looping back spin balls.

    I think this question is for NextLevel :) as he is the best person to explain this concept. NL Buddy, it doesn't happens so often that we get circumstances like this where our offline discussion gets asked in a forum. LoL
  18. Simon Gauzy and Hugo Calderano Blade Review coming soon!

    Hello Dan, Please ask these players on how do they select a suitable equipment for themselves and how much time they spend with any new equipment before making up their mind? PS: I am eagerly waiting for the Butterfly Marcos Freitas blade review which you promised sometime ago. :) Thanks, KM1976
  19. Who has the world's best backhand?

    Thanks Matt, appreciate your quick response. He is a real treat to watch. Personally, I admire him for his control and wide pallette of shot selection. I have been following him like crazy and I noticed that top players avoided putting ball to his backhand. That speaks volumes about his talent...
  20. Who has the world's best backhand?

    If I am not wrong, I guess he is using a Stiga Carbonado 145 ST handle with Tenergy on both sides. But this is my best educated guess after watching him closely. Matt can correct me if I am wrong. Cheers, KM1976
