There are no secrets, no shortcuts, only hard work. May or may not work for you ... I practiced more than playing matches. When i played a match, I forced myself to use whatever stroke i was focusing on all the time ... my RPB and FH loop have been the last 2 strokes I focused on. Looking at...

Hello DTT CCers! Been busy and haven't posted in ages. Lots to catch up on in this thread. Joined a new club and was able to video myself ... still a member of my old club which is not the best to video. I still have a lot to work on... enjoying the journey. Lost 30 lbs in 3 yrs. Need to lose...

Adding to suds vote for skinnier handles. During the 1980's when i played as a kid, all the DHS factory blades had nice thin oval handles. The DHS "032" (5 ply) and DHS "08" (7 ply) also had thin handles. Since then, I've tried an Avalox P700 (7 ply) and it has a rectangular chunky/fat handle...

Quickie review of Gambler Fire Touch Started playing with my new blade, Gambler Fire Touch with Big Dipper on FH and Xiom Pro Vega on RPB. I didn't glue the Big Dipper that well... rushing to get it on and play with it. Rubber coming off. So I have been playing 75% of the time with my...

suds, I just spoke to Xu Xin. He grudgingly will pass his nickname of The Cloudwalker onto you now!

I just heard from Ma Lin! He is scared of your serve! He told me to tell you that he will have to pass his title of King of the Ghost Serve to you!!!

*sobs at JeffM and SFF_lib going to SH* LOLOL at me! ---------- I have changed grips quite a few times, but that is with a PH grip and not changing from PH to SH. Lately I have discomfort, as I am using an extended fingers grip similar to Xu Xin, where middle and ring fingers are touching...

My friend/brother and fellow TTD member, 42andbackpains, is recovering from shoulder/elbow/back injury - i don't recall which right now. He has started playing again at his club, New York Indoor Sports Club. We met up last Saturday. Played 4 matches. Kind of ugly play from both of us. Have...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have not been active on TTD because I have been going to TT 4x a week and practicing. I come back to this Si-hing!?!?!? LOL j/k ... dealing with pain/injury is tough. As NextLevel said, try any of your PH blades as a SH first. If you think if...

war troublemakers! Congratulations!!

Very cool!!!

I improved to a level that instead of asking for 9, I will ask for 8 points :)

For over a year, as I played matches, I did NOT push as I was forcing myself to acclimate to either 2nd or 3rd loop either FH or RPB looping. I lost many a point, but my looping is a little better as I invested time in learning to loop in gameplay. I could do it in practice but couldn't in...

not what you are looking for and so far no one has mentioned it so i will. one often neglected off the table exercise i feel is important is VISUALIZATION! visualize yourself with fast footwork and/or perfect strokes. or 'model' yourself after your favorite player. visualize and imprint that...

suds, based solely on your review/reco, i bought one. deciding what rubbers to slap on and will test it out. for a little over a year, my primary blade is the butterly taksim. i do NOT like the chunky/fat handle. feels it hampers my TPB punch/block. hoping the thinner handle will help my TPB...

EXCELLENT you have been getting coaching and the lessons HELPED! I cannot in good conscience pay for coaching given my current stage of Life. So I watch some videos sometimes but I mostly self-learn by practicing as much as I can. Even to the point of losing matches as I force myself to...
