He is making a reasonable request to you to validate your experience and his skepticism is in a part a result of your not fulfilling it.

Sure. I can always recommend selectively what you post to my students but I always try to warn people of the risks of taking advice from people who refuse to substantiate their level of play or their experience. I only started playing seriously 5.5 years ago and I know the risks of trying to...

I don't think any of these things would necessarily make the channel get a better reception.

I don't think of the flat counterhit as circular. The recovery from the stroke could be circular and some people do use circular motions on the counterhits but the stroke itself is designed to produce a flat ball, so doing it in a line is fine and probably ideal to facilitate your flat block...

Not just overthinking but accusing people of being lazy/wrong for failing to simplify to your satisfaction something you refuse to study seriously.

It would probably have been better for Debater to do those tests with a higher quality rubber. Giant Dragon has such power quality control that it is hard to know whether he got truly comparable rubbers or not.

5 out of 5 rating for Vega Tour While the Vega Pro and Euro reside in the OFF-/OFF range, this blade is definitely OFF and has a lower trajectory on blocks and loops, though not by much. The honoring outer gives it and amount of feeling similar to the Pro and more speed. Just about everything...

I just could not trust that the rubber was 38 degrees and that it was always responding the same way. It started feeling harder and more pure "Chinese" than mixed. I don't think someone using 40 degrees will have that issue and maybe they have finalized the issues and quality as it was new and...

I used it in 38 degree for 6 mths (2014 Nov to 2015 April or so) on both forehand and backhand - it was my first committed plastic ball rubber - and I learned a lot while using it. QC issues made me change.

LEt's try again... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mCXqFx0BrU4&feature=youtu.be&t=422&app=desktop

I accept defeat. If you hadn't pressed the issue, I would have been defeated even before you spoke.

Your specific issue with the original poster, I wholeheartedly agree with and expressing it this way leaves no ambiguity. Compare it to this (and you have many posts in this style): The difference is clear.

Which particular folks? Then it is less likely to be considered trolling and more likely to be a specific issue with a specific person!

I think you went very well beyond voicing comments. It is possible to voice comments and be very specific about who you are criticizing and to do it politely and respectfully. You can even do it pointedly and be rude. But in your case, you used a very broad brush to repeatedly tar people...

Throw angle is something you just notice if you use different rubbers and loop with them with similar strokes. You find that some give higher arcs and some give lower arcs. It's unlikely to be a butterfly invention and in the Tenergy video, they talk about the exit angles on a variety of...

As a general rule, we all like simplicity in things where we are not experts and tend to disdain it when we are.

I guess you want the Chinese Secrets explanation to throw angles. That's already what the term throw angle does for people who don't want to think harder about why it isn't fully accurate, which is what the deeper stuff I linked to gives you. Same as the grip - you can start off with the...

BTW, many people underestimate the importance of a circular motion that almost finishes behind/besides your body on both vs backspin and topspin on the backhand (someone in the comments is saying that he doesn't see any pro do the full stroke that William does, though I would argue he doesn't...

This is the video. Some people do what he does and instead of playing over the ball, they wipe the ball with a fade sidespin. His is better, but both can be effective as long as you know what you are selecting. The most important thing is to have a good elbow position so you can have a good...
