Interesting. Shandong Weiqao clearly has 2 #1s, maybe 3, and an amazing balance between lefties and righties, no other team can boast that, though it depends on how you rate Xu Xin and Zhou Kai for Shanghai. Ma Long also has a way of making the young ones like Yuan Licen and Xu Yingbin play...

Because the rules currently say within the blade, not the outer ply. Blades like this have been sketchy in the past.

Of course, but we are not pro players, so you can be confident that most players are not serving short unless they prove it to you consistently. But it takes the awareness that your errors may just be about the length of the serve to even change your mind. It may sound crazy, but even pro...

When I die, bury me inside the playing hall! When I die, bury me inside the playing hall! All I want for my birthday is a bat and a ball!! All I want for my birthday is a bat and a ball!! :ROFLMAO:

It is usually easier to push long if the ball comes half-long and you can see it is NOT coming off. But you don't have to loop a ball with second bounce on the table, you just aren't stuck over the table popping it up and recovering. The main thing is just don't trust the tightness of serves...

They ask what I do and who I do it for, And all this other stuff up in the playing hall, All I want for my birthday is a bat and a ball, All I want for my birthday is a bat and a ball!

It is just fun/addiction. And I play doubles and fun games as well. Just not as many willing participants at the level I play and the movement demands in doubles are greater for someone as arthritic as myself. I play how I want to play. As I said, if I wanted to win. I would play with pips...

Fun is my primary objective - if it wasn't fun, I wouldn't do it. In fact, in many cases, I have just hit the ball without playing competitive matches because I enjoy hitting the ball. Competitive matches can heighten the senses, but very often, I play the way I want to play, not the way that...

Sometimes with level differences it is not about your technique. That said, varying serve returns is very important but I suspect if you were popping up thr serve. It had more topspin than you realized. I find that for me, I can loop kill short topspin to the forehand if it is high. The...

For me it is clearly the primary objective, I am addicted to the sport. There is no real reward - it is all just fun. Some social mixing as well, but that is primarily fun too.

Yes, I actually started hitting the ball a certain way on my backhand and tried to transfer it to my forehand. I like to catch the ball on the outside and then turn my forearm/wrist over it or upwards. That is my highest quality stroke ( low trajectory fast side-topspin - barely hops over the...

Well, explain what it means for how someone's technique should develop and then you have tried.

So assuming this is true, what are we to draw from this for how we should hit the ball?

So this I suspect is what I am doing (strokes 3 and 4 at the end of this video) but I need to record it. And because I stand upright, I need to minimize upper arm movement or the ball goes long. And mine seems to have a lot of sidespin when I slow it down lol...

So I played today to release the pentup desire to hit the ball again. The results of not playing for a week were interesting. So I play the first match a close 0‐3 to a guy who often plays tacky rubber on both sides and counters my heavy spin with venomous counters and punches. I had been...

I think a distinction should be made between a one-on-one matchup and what happens in Mixed Doubles when the woman has to handle the quality of the male player and produce shots that trouble male players off the femalee opponents ball and those abilities can determine the result significantly...

Yeah but just like when Togami beats Harimoto, is it because Togami is so much better or has such a better matchup that his opponent never deserves to win? Of course not, the matches are close struggles where Togami usually comes out on top but those things are not stable if repeated over and...

Nah. Fan just didnt touch the ball, he would have won that point otherwise. Point of the year for me is the Moregardh-Chuqin rally. Those Chinese #1s are tough!

I have shown you that a high level server does it when he does his favorite serve. He mistimed the effect in the video I presented but with the same serve, he has given players as good as Wang Liqin trouble. You are a low level player so what you do doesnt really qualify as evidence here for...
