One heavy chop, one heavy topspin, alternate feeds. Loop both close to the table. Don't back up.

I need to put in more hours - my serve is still deceptive but the depth control is poor....

David, You probably never tried to use the internet to get better at table tennis. I did. I remember the long list of players who posted all kinds of trash that I listened to which confused me before I knew what the players actually played like. You don't. So I can understand why you just...

You missed the joke, archo. It is all terminology, even the confusion between your taking the ball early (you meant over the table) and David telling you at the top of the bounce. If the ball was truly short, it would never come long so you can't loop it off or under the table. That's Carl's...

I did some serve practice for the first time in a long time yesterday. I probably should do it again as I have more spin but have lost a lot of depth control and form. I also noticed that there has been someone going out of their way to dislike my videos. Not sure why - might be lack of...

Yogi also has a review on the Eternity VPS. He really needs to post it here. http://mytabletennis.net/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=75650&title=stiga-2016-blades-updated-with-review The blades I got have been fairly heavy in Master Flare (94 and 95) - I don't know whether they were an anomaly or...

IT's definitely faster than the Infinity. Yogi bear's review is pretty much on point. What else do you need to know?

Rasant/Rasant Turbo is actually the original answer to T05, not Grip/Powergrip. And many Andro sponsored players still use regular Rasant/Turbo. There are also good players using other ESN rubbers - two that immediately come to mind are Simon Gauzy (Cornilleau) and Quadri Aruna (Joola). IMO...

David, when you are around better players, you just absorb things from them. A lot of real learning occurs because of mirror neurons. If archo had someone qualified telling him what to do or to watch in person, he would not be asking the question. This is not something you tell someone...

So let's take archo at his word for a second. I am watching a TTEdge video about footwork that William Henzell made a while back. In this video, he discusses the situation that Archo seem to be describing (high ball short over the table that requires and over the table topspin). The first...

David, would you advise a 1400 player to loop short balls over the table? DerEchte, your solution is better but why not just force the kid to show some damn video before giving him too much advice? He was getting looping lessons from Carl and now he wants to flick and loop balls over the table?

Video?

Usually, it is better to post exciting and competitive matches but I will post matches where I played Freddy Krueger vs. medium pips. I think the biggest benefit of going back to Tenergy 05 is that I don't have to drive the ball past pips players most of the time. I can get them to block off...

Softer rubbers are usually better unless you have good arm acceleration. If lifting underspin is the goal, the Baracuda is usually good but he needs good technique on a variety of shots.

What do you glue with?

Those robot balls are pretty short even if they do come off the table and you are taking them pretty early, which is easier for the backhand to do with a loop and harder for the forehand given how you are doing it. The one thing I will stress is that when using a robot, one has to be careful...

I was dead serious when I said I will never wear Nexy clothes because it is a weed leaf. Really, Carl?:p

Robert is ready to defend those points too ;).
