    I can so relate to this. Back in the day, I just attributed completely missing some shots as having a bad day or whatever. Now I've started to notice that I'm barely even moving anything because everything tries to move at once! You just kinda get stuck there, flexing the shit out of your...

    My post is free to get picked to death as much as anyone wants to. I've seen Jeff's other videos, and I know he's a pretty decent player. Better than me for sure. Look at Jeff's loop in this video. It's an entirely different shot I admit, but IMO that's great. It's clear he has good habits...

    Well, NL has a point. Some things that Waldner did would give coaches grey hair. I still believe that a shorter, more compact backswing by only moving the elbow closer would be beneficial. I think he is very prone to swing from the shoulder with the current method, and we need to consider how...

    I didn't know you're injured, Jeff. I noticed you're not really transferring your weight from leg to leg: perhaps due to that. I think you've noticed, but your weight stays quite firmly on your right leg. At least that's what it looks like to me. Now, I'm not telling you to go and hurt your...

    Jeff, I think you could benefit from keeping your elbow closer to your body on the backswing. Although I understand that penhold does require some minor adjustments to the swing as opposed to shakehand.

    Well, it depends for what purpose, doesn't it?

    If something really exceptional happens and I win the point with a rubbish shot due to that, then I will mention it. Otherwise I assume they saw it, because I sure as hell see all the fingers and whatnot. Most of the time it just lowers quality drastically, doesn't seem too effective after you...

    Boogar, I know it might not feel too nice to be called out on your bs and having to admit you're wrong about some things when you are clearly just talking about something you didn't really understand, but it will help you understand and grow if you admit how full of shit you are. Trust me, I...

    Boogar, if you want to get used to realistic circumstances, you don't do multiball, you do games or hitting drills. Multiball is very unrealistic. It's supposed to be very unrealistic. Why do you think they train special operations forces like they're gonna be taking on an army of terminators?

    Do you go to the gym? I assume you do: Do you consider every time you squeeze out one or two more reps when you think you can't "will training" and not ideal for physical training?

    Boogar, I think you're really underestimating the human body's capabilities. Has a trainer ever pushed you to do 3x or 5x more of something that you were sure you couldn't do more of?

    Sweat in training so you don't bleed in battle, as they say. Say you were training to do 100 curls with a 5kg dumbbell and you can do 50. Would you keep lifting the 5kg dumbbell as training or would you move to a weight where you can do only, say, 12?
  14. Guess the rating

    OKP can chop with the backhand and he seems to be screwing around massively here. You're probably right about the 2350 - 2400.
  15. Guess the rating

    At the risk of sounding like kowabunga, estimate these players. There's more video of some of the crew on the channel, if you need more material. I'm curious to see what TTD thinks.

    @UpSideDownCarl Frankly, I miss the shirtless belly dancing ping pong jugaadu aficionado.
  17. What did FZD say to Dan ??

    "Oh no, women. Absolutely disgusting." - Poster above, probably. :p Good point on control when contacting lower. Although I don't see how just contacting very low instead of high gives more control: maybe only because of a more side-on contact being easier. Or is there some other benefit...

    "Give it a good flick."
