I didn't know it was a sin to try to get people to correct your wrongs, around here. Clearly, I'm not trying to act like I know everything about what I'm talking about when I make a question. Suga D, whatever knowledge I could gain is more valuable than whatever damage my questions can do to my...

People who serve out of their hand before you've even bent your knees even when you're putting your hand up to show "Wait up", and refuse to make it a let because you were "in position" and they were ready to serve. Please don't tell me they're a problem in tourneys with no umpire.

I somehow think that if you have a serve that your opponent just simply can't return at all in under 3 tries or so, then you're higher level than them and you'll beat them just playing your normal game. Is that wrong, and at the lower level, there's some serves that people just have problems...

Just to clarify about long serves, I'm not talking about not doing them. I've developed my "rocket serve" and no-spin serve (Those are great into the elbow) but they will only work if they can't see it coming. Even at the highest level it works, so why wouldn't it work at a lower level? The...

So serving heavy backspin and no-spin with the same motion, is generally better than alternating between light backspin and light topspin? Assuming that the serves are hard to read for people around your own level.

NL, Carl, what do you think is better if you had to choose: Well disguised, very varying serves with lower spin producing harder but more consistent chances to attack and win, or: heavier serve variations producing either straight out nets or high popups with a higher chance to win when...

If you serve heavy short backspin, then heavy short topspin a few serves later, will players of a good standard really just out the ball? Of course, this is assuming the serve isn't really high level and well disguised: just a variation of the same movement.

Ah, that makes sense. So, it will let you do whatever you're doing better, but only after you're already good at it. If you try to use it as a crutch, it just bites you in the ass.

Hey, I'm not saying Tenergy doesn't take any skill to use (How do I know, I've never used it) but I keep hearing over and over that you can produce quite a bit of spin with it as an amateur without perfect technique and full commitment. Am I wrong?

Damnit Boogar, if this keeps up, you're gonna be nearing 2000's soon. Don't give Ma Long a hard time in Tokyo. :p

The way I see it, I'd really love Tenergy, because I think my touch is good enough to just let it do the job for me and produce more spin and speed than I'm normally capable of. However, I'm reasonably fit and young, and I wanna develop my technique, and I'm a cheapass, so I'm gonna root for...

@Liten You moved the seat out? Do you still simrace? I was on a year long hiatus from competition and just did hillclimb and drifting, but I used to do sub 1 sec from world records on average, so I figured I'd join an old league I raced in. I was 3 seconds off pace! :rolleyes: GT3 on Bathurst...

I understand the point being made. I'm not trying to claim that I WOULDN'T lose on just game quality alone, because there's at the very least two levels or so of a gap. However, I can read spin pretty well, and I can serve pretty well. If I got the ball over the net on serve return and just...

GTR2 was my first driving sim years ago. Oh, how outdated it is nowadays. I started in Falcon 4.0, eventually stopped playing it and started playing IL-2, then DCS. I was playing BMS Falcon until my stick died. :( Have you played any modern driving sims? They've gone a huge way. Assetto Corsa...

NL, I would have to say, somewhat higher than me for the kid. His serves and shots are similar to mine it looks like, but he is slightly better I'd say. His game is overall tighter, but his spin and speed doesn't seem to be so much higher than mine to warrant a huge difference. I think serves...

Now that I think of it, I didn't make it past a year grade without punching someone in the face in middle and upper school. ;) I'm glad that I don't get into fights too often anymore, and when I do, no one has to get hurt too bad. Violence is real cool until you get your shit kicked in real good.

It doesn't look threatening, but I'd HATE to play against it just looking at all the nets and outs that NL did in the video. He's way better than he looks. I'd much rather take on an impressive looking topspin game than a pip game that keeps you guessing, and makes you look real bad. ;)

That explains it. The experience in playing much higher level players meant that you could whoop people around your level. I suspected that you'd play much better against someone a bit closer to your level. Well, here's the thing. I had no idea what Berg's level was when I watched the video...

Whatever you do, don't go "I'm playing like shit today". What you can imagine, you'll make reality. You'll just keep playing like shit. It takes more effort to change anything, so if you think you're playing like shit or that you're on fire, you'll remain in that mentality most likely. Just...

Liten, there is just one question: IL-2, Jane's, Falcon or DCS? Or perhaps something even more ancient than any of those? ;)
