Timo and Ma Long are in the same quarter as Xu Xin and Fan Zhendong. So it might not make a difference. It shows what happens when you don't play doubles enough to get a seeding and keep hoping to catch a break.

Yes, he wanted to kill me with footwork drills, but I told him I just wanted to learn a few tips. The level of spin he produces when he loops is just different, reminds of me when I tried to play against Syzmanski of Poland in a handicap match. I don't even see the ball when he power loops it...

Those pages hardly work, especially when they are 12 pages deep like they are in the prelim rounds. Weikert for President (sure... not that Saive will do much better).

Gambling is an issue, but the bigger issue is being in debt from it. Not the kind of thing you want from someone on your staff.

Went to Westchester on Sunday. Had planned to go with a buddy so I told Azeez I would be there. Unfortunately, my buddy started Ramadan and didn't feel well and pulled out. I haven't played well at all because I lack training but I went to Princeton and played decently the night before...

Anatomic and ST are old. Talking about recent ones.

You mean 95g + is not heavy? The three recent ones I have seen are 95, 96 and 98g.

If the carbon layer is thin, it may not be faste than a Korbel. It might just vibrate a little less. It all depends on what the blade designer is trying to do. You can actually test blades for sound response with software to see their nodes and sweet spot behavior. I know one web forum guy...

There is a junior I know who does this all the time. I have seen him win points with it on matches.

Carbon doesn't magically make a blade faster. Thickness and overall blade design still matter.

The mistake I made was to switch to my back up Vega Pro to get more experience using it. The blade is much lighter and different. Now I am back with my original, I am fine again. The one thing I am noticing is that I like a narrower neck. The Vega Pro and the Tibhar KJH are similar in that...

You have to learn to loop over the ball with fast strokes . It is the biggest problem that makes people back up so much. Their racket head speed is slow so they need to play upward strokes.

Unless you loop with power, and sometimes even if you do, it is hard to hit elbows or wide angles when you are 10 feet off the table. The opponent can see your shot coming a mile away.

It's hard for me to give advice to people who habitually back off the table to loop, especially when their opponent is not looping. My game is serve and attack or serve and try to set up attack, not serve and push or serve and lob or serve and soft loop or serve to rally.

If he is taking your #1 to 5 games playing legitimate matches and you are #4 and truly believe that you are the same level, then someone is being hustled.

MichalZ, That's obviously a good player.

This is like looking at the 6 months where Federer was playing badly while injured and focusing on that. You seem to forget that he was injured during the Olympics. All these results just come after and his focus is really on WTTC. It's like looking at Federer in 2016 and saying he should...

That's what happens when you don't have a club any more - your game goes down because you don't get to play the good players anymore because they don't come to your club. And my health hasn't encouraged me to travel out. I basically coach two hours twice a week these days and that is it. The...

Mine looks really bad. But it plays really well. BTW, it plays extra awesome with Dandoy Bioboost. Don't ask me how I know, I just do. ;)

It's a basic fun warm up and they get more accurate as it goes along - there is never a super high level of intensity.
