Oh christ. I took the objective way and just freeze framed some shots from the video to see exactly when stuff moves. Picture 1, at this frame I hear the sound of my opponent hitting the ball. My upper body and arm are CLEARLY moving first and my legs haven't moved a bit! No matter how you...

Carl, you know that the rally doesn't go on because he either nets the ball or puts it out? I'm trying to be as nice as I can with my shots but it still happens. What can I say. I'd get way better footage if one of the better players was on cam. Everything you said is right. I'm well aware of...

Critique welcome on technique. I know my footwork is lazy and wonky, mostly due to the opponent, but bad strokes are not excusable.

Alright, here they are. Some background: My opponent is worse than me, with slightly inferior equipment. Although he has good touch, he refuses to do some things right even when I KNOW he can. It's not a serious match and we're just hitting, whoever gets the ball serves. Neither of us is really...

Hello. I did some serves and took about 15 min video that I was going to show, but had to delete them for space. I got something even better! Up to date video of myself playing! It wasn't from a serious match environment, just hitting, but it counts doesn't it? Now, it's from a bad angle...

I've never understood this whole "I lost all the points on the opponent's serve, but also half of mine, so the opponent just has an unfair serve/a good serve but they stuck at rallying". I can understand the logic if someone is really cheating on the serve and you're about co-level due to that...

I'm a big fan of the infamous basement pong chop driving. The bootleg reverse pendulum from the middle is a great way to start the rally, too. There also appears to be insane amounts of spin, because I swear that most of those shots should have gone out or netted. I guess the second long dwell...

This is pretty hilarious if it's freeze framed. Masaaki Yuasa's Ping Pong was a little bit better in how the strokes looked. :p http://www.crunchyroll.com/scorching-ping-pong-girls/episode-1-my-hearts-about-to-burst-721005 Well, it's pretty hilarious in realtime, too. This is more like it.

Carl, the video is indeed there. You're free to assume that's my level. I don't need an up to date video to post what I did today, or to post my thoughts on a video. I don't need a video at all to post this, in fact. All I don't want to do is compare myself to others without anything to back up...

5:40 Der, you're playing against a solid 2000+ player who just beat a 2200 some time ago. Did you NOT expect that to happen? :p 11:53 Hah, my reaction was pretty much the same as Der's. Everything was going so well.

Today I lost more than I won; got totally blocked off the table by one of the better players here. He wiped the floor with just about everyone. It was a combination of us playing bad and him playing very well. At least he couldn't block my opening loops. :rolleyes: Found out some things which...

My hands are fairly small, because I'm not that big either, but the Master handle on the Allround Evo feels good. Didn't feel big when I first held it. Anything smaller feels like it's severely undersized. Hell, I think I'd prefer a larger handle. I don't even know how this works. Maybe...

Xu Xin.

What OP needs is a nice and forgiving, maybe a bit slow blade, something like a Schlager Carbon or a Hinoki one-ply, then slap some good beginner rubber on it, like un-boosted (Boosting is illegal!) DHS H3. OP hasn't told us what equipment his opponent is using: surely it's better than his...

Have you tried installing Gentoo?

OP, man, if you're legit, good on you. That's the way to go. However, I must tell you, you're not that good at staying in character. No one suddenly changes their writing patterns. If you wanna post a really good bait thread, make sure you stay in character through the entire thing. Your...

This is actually a really good bait. He could just be a bit special in the head, y'know. It's not that extreme. Kowabunga obviously posts with humor and satire, so it's a very obvious bait. A blind man can see it coming from 10 miles out. He can't do stuff this level. :rolleyes:

It could be anything, but I just got that impression because he said it didn't land on the table. Beginners usually seem to have most problems grasping slow topspin serves and think they hit it "too hard" or something. It could be heavy side, too. Now, this guy's most likely bait, so he's...

Hahaha! The true EJ advice!
