Wow thanks david, that first vid is rly awesome. The 2nd kinda shows how much better Ronaldinho at his best was than Messi is currently :P Moving on to the 3rd xD.

Nice. Apolonia's serve looks quite spinny.

@Rhydian I think it is true. With soft rubbers you need to move your racket towards the ball in order to get it over the net, with harder rubbers it is most of the time sufficient to just hold it in one position and let the ball hit the racket. This saves time, and if u have time left u can...

The 'celebration' reminds me of kids being tickled. But yeah this is really awesome, and when this happens when you are having fun with your friend, I think all of us would have gone crazy haha.

My best win was one of my last matches I've been able to play. With our team we were in the final of the play-offs for a place in the National Divisions. In the regular competition we lost 7-3 against this team, and all competition long I had won 1 or 2 matches per matchday. The day before the...

Olvarox and Carl, thanks for the explanation. I understand it now. At my level mastering the backspin version of reverse pendulum is gold, because whenever a player get a reverse pendulum served against them, they expect sidespin/topspin. I am desperate to master this within a year or so, but it...

Hahahahahahahhahaha, I don't think there is a rule for that. In the last game he would end up in his own stink though :P

My BH loop is actually stronger than my FH loop. People don't like that. Like u said, it is in many players system that they push a ball to BH when they don't know what else to do. I benefit thankfully from that :D

Okay thanks, so the pendulum serve is actually just a normal sidespin serve?

Hahaha, as long as u meet opponents better than u, u can at least improve. Some peoples development is stopped because they don't have the chance to practise or play against good level. Even at world top level this is happening, because nobody gets to practise against the Chinese, therefore...

Xu Xin is also uploaded by the same guy:

Yes u can. I won my first trophy within 6 months, right after my first season. But it is not something to focus on. Just have fun, enter tournaments you like, and with a bit of luck u might eventually end up with a trophy. But if u want it very badly, it won't happen ;)

Ok haha, yea I'd blame the camera :D

If we start to use equations: table tennis > all ;)

A big part of backhand loop comes down to lower arm and wrist flick. Ur bat starts about the left hip (righthanded). Elbow is in further away from you than your hand. Then move your lower arm around your elbow, and with your wrist flick the bat forward at the moment of touching the ball. The...

During the rally you may not talk. Points 1-3 are allowed during the rally, and all 6 points are allowed in between rallies. Although 1-3 are a bit weird to do between rallies haha. Primorac is the best example, he even goes 'uhh' when blocking or pushing. And never gets a problem with it. But...

He has a very loose grip :P And his movement sideways looks more like table tennis footwork than tennis footwork indeed haha.

Carl what is the difference between pendulum and reverse pendulum? I'm not really familiair with those terms, I thought there was only one version of reverse/pendulum serving xD

I think stamping is a bit too much in terms of contribution to service quality. Shifting your weight from one leg to the other is useful, but stamping is just to annoy opponents. I consider turning the body while serving more important, which I think is harder to achieve when stamping. It gives...

A black floor would make spectators think they are watching some matrix movie, especially when the Chinese play in their black kit. They made the standard color red for a reason.. :P I think it is best for spectators and walking on it makes me feel pro. So I'd say keep red :D
