When Brett tested the TTEDGE app on players he knew, the ones who had good touch often read the serves easily. The ones with bad touch or who had serve return issues struggled with the serves. And remember, this is on an app. No physical returning of the serves. His tentative conclusion was...

Baal, I linked to a blog post in my initial response that talks about the different harmonic frequencies at which blades vibrate. Because of how this is related to blade stiffness and whether a blade gives me feeling or not, I have assumed for a long time that this is the key to dwell. Carl...

Did you know that Timo and Dima and even a past his prime Jorgen Persson have played in the CSL? And if you did, what do you think that means?

So, Boogar, I figured out what I was looking for and I sent you the TTEdge video on it if you are still a member. You are straightening the arm too early on most of the strokes so I am not seeing good whip at the end of backswing. The end of your backswing should not feel like you just...

The form looks good but something tells me that your arm is still a bit too stiff when swinging and that your grip is too tight. EDIT: The thing about swinging from the shoulder is that it is really more about how much power you transfer from your body into the stroke. IF your loop feels...

So I was late from work to coaching my temp yesterday. When I got there, he was playing a friend of mine who I play with every once in a while who I would estimate at 1700 or so. My temp, to my surprise, beat him. While preparing to coach, my friend said that the biggest change in my temp's...

One of my clubmates wants to join in on my whipping technique. He said that it seems that I always generate sidespin when I whip so where's the topspin? That cracked me up... On a more serious note, what is wrong with what you used when you were here? And one could argue that Korbel is also...

The blades I have in mind for you, though you might not like the head heaviness of the best option: Tibhar Stratus Powerwood Gewo Balance Allround (which is not really Allround)

Do you mean Chinese Off+, which is really European/Japanese OFF-, or do you mean European OFF+, which is Chinese Off+++?

Thanks, TurboZ. When is the league going to end? Wondering how it will affect 2017.

I think 158mm by 152mm was one measurement I saw somewhere.

I think you are right. Like I said, this is why I gave up on the SPW. I am doing okay with the YE now, or I would have tried the GEWO Allround that AndySmith is using. I suspect it is really more like OFF-/OFF in the SPW tradition since it is as thick as the SPW but with a more standard head...

Thanks, Carl.

Part of it is the blade - the SPW is too large in head size. That's why I don't use it today as Hexer is the only rubber that was light enough for me to even try it.

There is a classic post on this issue by killerspintt that Carl likes to quote - I hope he can find it. Killerspintt was responding to an arrogant engineer who likes to argue that dwell time is not important because it is the actual physical response is so short. First of all, the sensation is...

Rambo doesn't use them on both sides. When he does he will come home from Nam.

Getting better at TT without the right kind of environment is tough. It can take 3 years to see the right kind of improvement even in a proper environment. I sometimes have suggestions but I don't want to downplay the obstacles. It's best to travel to a good camp or something and spend extended...

I think Evolution series is generally heavy. I can't remember where to place this one but I felt it was heavier than Tenergy 05. In my experience, the grip is outstanding. Someone on another website felt it wasn't vs MX-P and I was confused by that to be honest.

Understood. The main difference between me and you is that because of my internet experience, I don't trust the reviews of people I have never met or seen play. I have seen people who cannot loop properly write serious blade reviews. If you usually take recommendations from people who play two...
