I have heard from multiple sources (never seen him play in person) that Freitas hits the ball the hardest in practice halls and that when you see him practice, you feel fairly confident he is going to win the tournament. Which to me is almost completely at odds with his spin-orientation in...

It might not be obvious but I suspect part of the reason NDH is asking the question is that there is a massive disconnect between your ball quality in practice and the players ratings you are losing to. Maybe it is just you getting back into the game, or maybe it is the infamous (even if...

Would really like to see you play some day in a video or better irl.

This is a bit long, but it is really good for players who haven't taken seriously the need to build their style around weapons and what they practice.

I never said my position was a fact, I said it not just merely an opinion, just like saying that beginners should not use fast blades is not merely an opinion. But saying that because something is not scientifically provable that it is merely an opinion is wrong. You seem to agree, but cannot...

Oh, I wrote a long time that I agreed to disagree, it's just that sometimes what I write goes over your head, It was when you stated that my analogy was wrong and I said, okay, maybe you may have something interesting to say since you won awards for teaching. But if the best you can do is...

Okay, the first thing is that you said I don't have a scientific proof for it and that therefore it was my opinion. My point is that even saying that taking life away from living things is bad cannot be proven scientifically. This is well known. So asking for a scientific argument why...

Since you are so convinced the murder analogy is wrong, can you explain what is wrong with it? Science is agnostic to ends - "good" and "bad" require evaluation vs rules or goals. Therefore, science has nothing to say on morality other than whether ends are achievable or not achievable - it...

That makes sense, I guess it comes down to style. There was this medium pips penholder that sometimes used short pips, he was a nightmare if his blocks were on as you would always make the first shot but he would make the first block and the ball would come back so loaded that if you couldn't...

It was playing against the pips that kept me coming back to wood blades, that was why I asked. Maybe if I had a better forehand back then, it wouldn't have mattered as much.

For some reason, people never mention Golden Tango, and Golden Tango is definitely a top 3 amongst them IMHO.

Getting the balance right is difficult, but if you started learning late, it is easier if you want to be consistent to focus on spin. Then you can flatten out the ball more if you are able to. be consistent doing so either by getting thicker contact or using faster equipment or some combination...

Do you play against a lot of choppers and pips players?

It could have just been zylon or arylate or another composite without carbon.

I think once you get below the ball, and you backswing with your racket pointing towards you, you will be able to use almost anything to swing at the ball as long as you get the right contact point with a reasonable stroke plane. I have started trying to stop backswing downwards (in my head at...

The ball cares both about the point of contact and the swing plane/trajectory. My point is that you can keep the swing plane and contact point the same for both strokes and get similar effects regardless of backswing, it just may not be mentally comfortable for you. The balls will not be...

This was the first analogy that came to mind, but I actually have experience doing what I should never have done lol. So I have a more informed opinion than most, though of course, just like anyone's opinion on whether murder should be legal or not, it is only an opinion.

There is no scientific proof that anything is good or bad,, to make that statement is to misunderstand the nature of science. If thinking anything is good or bad is an opinion, sure you are on safe ground. What you need to ask is whether you are more likely or less likely to have certain...

No, it's not just my opinion, but I don't know you and you don't know me. By all means, treat your girlfriends as you please.

Pay someone to coach her - again, coaching her is a big mistake.
