DOH! Sorry about that Sir! I was working off of old man memory. I have a spreadsheet where I tallied between TPB and RPB and kept track of lefties. Speaking of which, i left off at page 20 or so, when i have time, i need to finish the tallying.

Hit 3 hours straight last night. One of the coaches at the club asked me to just block for 2 people. First one a beginner but has decent and steady enough FH. Last night was only the 2nd time he hit BH. For a beginner, he seems to be steady enough and understands the strokes. Credit to him and...

Good luck and have fun!

Thank you for your kind words!

Good stuff Nuke Skywalker, good luck and have fun! There are at least 2 types of coaches ... will keep it at 2 for this dichotomy and use Boxing as an example Both were great coaches and both have passed: Cus D'Amato, former coach/trainer/manager of a young Iron Mike Tyson as well as...

Agree sadly.

And wow! 3 lefty PHs with RPB and another lefty PH, suds, kind of still TPB but added RPB to his game ... so 4 lefty RPB!

For the new members on this thread, recap of me: I'm 53 and haven't played TT for 30+ yrs. I 'unretired' and have been playing for ~3 yrs now, although took a few months off to recover from injury/soreness/and teaching eldest daughter to drive during this past summer. I'm trying to catch up...

Totally agree, still working on overcoming my urges/instinct/muscle memory LOL Ages ago, I played a lot of chess. Like my TT, my chess wasn't all that great. My college chess buddies had a saying, "Hope chess." - a player that played a move in hoping his opponent doesn't play the correct...

Ages ago, Alex Tam, Richard Ling, Doon Wong, Rey Domingo and Vicky Wong worked with me a little ... they all said: "Play steady, return the ball." I am a slow learner LOL

K actually has been saying the same thing to me. We used to practice a lot together, then i took time off, he practiced with others and got a lot better. Since I've been back, we haven't had a chance to hit together. But not tooting my own horn, but i get a sense that he thinks i should beat him...

Welcome to TTD and this PH thread ttctoc!

I jokingly refer to "K" as my arch-nemesis, a club member whom i've played matches with in the past where he just played steady and returned the ball ... i attacked, smashed, looped, etc. ... he gave me rope with which i've hung myself. i missed more than i made. i rushed my shots cos i saw a...

This is an excellent point! Thank you monster!! 2 comments: 1. I have sometimes wanted to rev my engine and drive at 120mph (70 kmh?) but due to various factors I'm driving at 35 mph. I was ecstatic and in a high on Tues night, I was able to drive 55 mph - 120mph. Outside of working with Der 2...

Good post and thank you! The biggest obstacle for me in using the American Hinoki WRC regularly was because it was a noticeably smaller racket compared to the blades I've used and gotten accustomed to. There are some balls I've thought I would get, but I miss, i chalk it up to me being slow and...

It does, but I get it, just haven't been able to execute it consistently yet. I've fallen prey many a time to loops i've taken late and the little sidespin on it hooks away from me. LOL at me -- i recall our games, quite a few times I'm thinking I'm ok, let NL loop, I'll be able to block it...

Thank you Sir! You have no idea how much the urge is to let the ball drop ... but i realize I'm all arm and not enough legs and core on those. 42andbackpains pointed it out to me repeatedly ... i'm a close-to-the-table player, but when practicing loops, I'm 2 steps or so away from the table...

I don't train footwork enough, thank you for the tip! Thank you confiscate!!

ok monster, i won't spot points to any of TTDer especially you LOLOLOL

DRATS! FOILED AGAIN! LOLOL seriously... thank you for your kind words monster... still a lot to work on. work in progress, it's the journey not the destination, progress not perfection. EDIT: so many "broken parts" -- hard to fix them all at once and i don't intend to ... baby steps, i fought...
