I have a disguised topspin serve that uses this technique. May record it sometime. Not as pronounced though.

Thanks. You don't need to go to China to get Chinese coaching in the US - lots of Chinese/Asian imports, temp and perm, in TT clubs all over the US given it is an immigrant nation. I tried my best given the circumstances, I guess, but he was too consistent. I don't often lose points after...

Yes - that is the one I was hitting when I used to beat him, but for some reason it has broken down recently as I changed my technique to do the stroke without the sidespin. So I have to rebuild it again into my new technique. That's why this game is so painful - you change something and it gets...

I need to stop playing so deep into his forehand. Need to go wide and target middle more - my spin and pace does not affect him with Tenergy 05 as the ball is still too high from where I am playing it.

Boogar, if Carl came to Princeton to play in the league, you would have heard about it.

My sheets of EL-S and FX-S have arrived. Will pick them up tomorrow and give impressions soon.

You are trying to compensate for the lack of catapult of the rubbers. Either you fix your technique or go back to European rubbers (more likely, both). You likely have to rest as well.

I never said he does, I said he can. You need to watch how those points play out to see that Mizutani has been coached to stop lobbing. And Mizutani is not relieved to win a lobbing point, he expects to win a lobbing point. In any case, hitting a lob is not quite the same thing as hitting a...

Come on Carl. You mean they hadn't practiced it in a while. Pros all did a lot of that stuff as kids. But saying that a male pro has not done everything under the sun as a trick at least once is underestimating those guys. They do even weirder stuff and for some reason they never practiced...

If missing the high balls is an error, why can Mizutani best almost everyone in the world lobbing except the top 5 players in the world?

One trick... again????

I think people underestimate PPH's consistency and movement. Shot quality isn't everything, if it was I would be 2200. I am not the one who says that, people who play me do. In any case, I am developing a couple of new techniques. Of course, there is the One-Loop-Kill and there is the...

You aren't supposed to loop high balls with your backhand. In fact, the backhand should play a very limited role in the success of a serious player unless the player is significantly backhand oriented, in which case it can do a little more but with a note of its limitations. In general, the...

Why don't you think you played well? What were you expecting to do?

Everyone's backhand is more efficient in transferring whip - it's a smaller stroke and needs the whip to work. Otherwise, your backhand just plain sucks. So that's besides the point. And I guess because of my backhand, I rarely spend time looking at people's backhands. But I'm really trying...

I'll answer when you have posted 5 videos of your more recent play.

The thing I noticed the most in this video was the choice of opponent/training partner. Lefty shakehand. Definitely not an accident. I also wonder what was being said. Maybe the audio was taken out. I think to understand what was being said, one might have to watch the recent matches...

I am going to steal this idea and use it on my ooakforum avatar etc.

Because if his avatar, David is hereby renamed One Loop Man. He always wins the point with One Loop ;).

For people who don't know, DerEchte aka RamboLooper has one of the heaviest whip FH motions in the history of TTD. If you block that thing and your ball does not go into the sky, you were taking steroids. No need to test your blood, you are going to be banned on the basis of incontrovertible...
