Counterlooping and punch blocking or blocking the first loop and stepping back to counterloop are all the next level, JeffM. You need to nail this level down so that you don't lose to a certain level of opponent anymore then you can battle with the next level, who will sometimes not show their...

The whip pattern is back and forth. What you are seeing is the recoil at the end of the stroke in some cases when the wrist is very loose.

When it comes to changing your service motion or whip pattern, you just have to act like you are learning an entirely new serve or you will never have a chance to change.

Whip pattern for backspin and pendulum serves.

Again, you are asking people who have their own preferences questions that as a decent player you should be able to answer yourself or which you should really be asking players around you who you have seen play. For the record, M3 is not just a softer rubber but has a different topsheet from M1...

Whip mechanics.

Buddy, I was going to kill your dreams on mytt, but I was waiting for someone to make sense. Since no one did, I just left you alone. Hope your game is doing well. I hated the DHS PG7 but as you know, my blade is a snail. The closest thing I have that comes to what you are looking for is...

Should Dima use H3? Or should he use T05? What about Drinkhall? Should he use MX-P or T05? People have found success at all decent levels using all kinds of things depending on their personal decisions and degree of training. Your coach can give you a class of rubber/blade if he has strong...

You really can't be asking people questions that can only be answered by your personal preferences and training.

I would just use Bluefire M1.

The only way to do thorough "research" is to test the rubbers yourself. Asking questions from people you have never seen play and whose playing styles or feeling is not like yours especially when you are not showing any evidence of your playing style or level tends not to work. You can always...

At the team event in the Chinese Nationals, yes.

Yes, but I think everyone has a spin level. I might play the same guy as Boogar and he might just be bothered by my spin and not by Boogar's. Or maybe not. For all Boogar knows, the guy might be used to 2200+ loops from somewhere that Boogar is not familiar with.

Sometimes, spin will not protect you against an opponent who knows what to do with high balls. IF he can smash them like you are describing, then it means that the balls are high. Different kinds of balls bother different kinds of players. IF you rally with high balls and heavy topspin, then...

The ball catching drill to test shoulder rotation. I might try to actively involve my left arm in my forehand loop to force shoulder rotation. The serve video - it is pretty long, but 5 minutes is enough to get the gist. I do use just about every serve I will use in a match except for my...

Taught a class for beginners, third session of four, this morning. Practiced afterwards, especially my serves. Served to a player under 1000 but with much higher level strokes. Tested various sidespin serves as I want to develop and play behind short sidespin serves more confidently. Will...

This is me playing the junior in a tournament match in August or so - pretend the second game didn't happen...

The guy plays the way I used to before I met Brett, only that he is a more talented blocker and pusher with better strokes and serves and spin reads than I had. Younger too, so it makes life easier. So when we play, I am usually the aggressor. But don't be fooled - he can put some heavy spin...

2250 would be at least top 150 or top 200 in England, possibly top 100 if you exclude foreigners. I would be somewhere in the top 500 -600 in England, possibly a bit higher based on the players I have played here who came for the NA Teams.
