I played 2 matches tonight and didn't think of taking video of them. Lost both 3 straight, but I am playing a little better. Still rushing my shots here and there but also slowed down at times. My FH loop is somewhat back, lately been playing to force myself to FH loop. Also pushing more to set...

@Der/@monster, Speedy and safe recovery, although speedy means not for you to be 80% recovered and get back into the thick of things! Fully recover please! monster, when you are fully recovered, I will then request 9 points handicap from you ;-) @NL, Congratulations Sir! A win is a win. Trust...

LOL no permission needed to post on this thread. I cannot speak on your conundrum with the rubbers but I want to welcome you to the DTTCC thread!

Good luck Sir in finding a new club/coach that will be a good fit all around for you! If you DON'T find a coach you feel helps your game, I feel with the amount of private lessons you have had, you already know what you need to work on. The members you used to hit with at your old club will...

Welcome Sir to TTD and to the DTTCC thread! FYI, if you want to post video and ask for advice, you need 5 (or is it 10?) posts before you are able to post videos.

Oh my Guoyuehua! Tonight, George Braithwaite was waiting on my table to hit with one of my regular games partners, the 70 yr old JPenner. GB watched me play a match with Y., a SH that has LP on his BH, whom I usually lose to because for now I've not learnt how to recognize what he does with the...

Thank you SFF_lib! I think you are right in that many amateurs play TT to kill time. I feel that if one is passionate about an endeavor, one may as well look to improve upon it. I think ttmonster, Der_Echte or NextLevel in the Daily Chit Chat Table Tennis thread mentioned "professional amateurs"...

Progress report: ttmonster felt I should play players who are 'boom boom' instead of my 2 regular games partners who are 65 and 70 yrs old and are slower-paced players but if given the chance to attack they would. 65 yrs old friend: I really should be able to beat convincingly but he is...

Sir, perhaps make a video of yourself doing it? Picture/video is worth a thousand words as they say.

As it is not a real TT club, with many members but 6 tables only, it is not conducive to drilling generally. But sometimes i do get to drill if the club is not packed. Then we can drill for 20 mins and then get off the table. For my game, the biggest holes are no RPB, no FH loop, rush my shots...

Given your challenges going 3-2 or even 2-3 IMO is very respectable. Looking forward to your video Sir.

My "club" is a NYC Department of Parks Recreation Center. Senior membership fee is $25/year. 18 and younger are free. Everyone else is $100/year. Fridays are Kids TT only. There are more seniors in my club than other age groups. The 1900 SH friend I mentioned is in his early 30's. He is one of...

Thank you but sorry Sir. No competition. I probably won't enter one. Just into TT at this point of Life as exercise and fun.

I've improved... instead of 9 points from you I should ask for 8 now. Seriously though, I know what you mean about playing regular partners. The 70 yr old Jpenner is 1700 to 1800 maybe. There is another friend that I've not played in some time. He is another barometer/litmus test. He's 1900 or...

Good luck Sir! Have fun, no whammies, no whammies!

I knew this day would come, I just didn't if it would be sooner or later. My overall play has improved ... instead of playing like a 1300 USATT, I'm about 1500 now. After a year of forced RPB training/drilling, neglecting my FH looping and rushing my shots, I have slowed down a bit, gaining...

Sir, sorry you didn't finish 1st, but ecstatic you are happy with your performance!

i had a good practice session last night with a SH who is 2 levels above me. he is coming back from injury. i don't think he recalled hitting with me a year ago. back then, i was oldschool TPB punch/block. last night i was RPB punch/block his BH punch/flat hit. i sometimes RPB flat hit. did not...
