Brett has some videos on it as does Eli Baraty. Cic didn't so much misread the spin as she underestimated it and I wouldn't be surprised if there was some hiding in play though I would have to see to be sure. Congrats on your country woman winning the world cup. The first non-Chinese is a big...

That was a boring final. Kinda sad that at that level, serve return can be such an embarrassing game changer.

Tony, was the men's world cup different?

Great stuff.

Yes, you are right. I thought the same thing too initially but thankfully, it didn't seem to make a huge difference. I also strongly feel that to defend that, Liu should have played her match at a time much closer to Cheng. That said, these are World class athletes used to training many hours...

This was the break between the afternoon and evening sessions and Will, who is a celebrity in his own right (NY Times puzzle columnist and owner of Westchester TTC) wanted to hit and the 2250+ junior in my club had his paddle. So the Junior hits first and the we took turns hitting with Will...

I could move to a more stream friendly seat but I am on the the seats parallel to the tables sidelines. My friends are sitting behind the coaches would you see them quite a bit.

We are warming up DerEchte style so we can use the video to take chicken and beer bets all over the world.;)

No. It's Will Shortz.

The Chinese women pulled out. I can guarantee you that many of the people who bought tickets were Chinese. That said, it was also a weekday. It should be much fuller today.

You think people watch all those long unedited videos? You have to hear DerEchte talk and then you will forget just hearing his accent that he even plays TT.

Everyone is doing the DerEchte hustle - talking about how weak they are and spotting each other points before creaming their opponent's behind.

Don't order those things from another countrtime. You can get decent pips from colestt.com and zeropong.com. Expensive tensor at discount rates of course should be imported. All of this goes out the window if zero pong and coles TT are too expensive...

I mean that you have two sides on your current blade. Keep one side as inverted and one side as pips but change the pips every month or so. That will reduce the weight and let you have variation. You can them decide whether you want to make the short pips you main side and put LP on the other...

I would recommend you do inverted on one side and short pips on the other and continue to play around with what you want to be on the pips side. You will appreciate having the inverted to serve with. Serving with inverted is always a different level from pips, all other things being equal.

By the way, I have played at least two backhand oriented TPB penholders. It was the most frustrating thing I had ever seen or played against. I keep trying to loop into the "weakness" and I am getting punched around the table and only win points when I loop into the forehand which I perry much...

The problem is that Archosaurus wants to play like CNT. Your guy was probably just trying to get the ball on the table and make it hard for his opponent to do another shot. Given their resources, one was delusional and the other practical. But things can always change.

I would still recommend long or medium pips. But it is neither here nor there since people are strongly advocating long pips. I just think that the offense with long pips is too limited to disturb good players.

When I was coming up, it was precisely players who played like you and had bad backhand technique that my game was built to undermine. It's not just backhand technique but overall play along the backhand diagonal. When I struggle with or lose to a player at my level, there are usually two...
