He just hasn't seen you play yet, kowabunga.

Yes, but a little less spin and lower trajectory. I prefer higher spin and higher trajectory with a little less speed for shorter strokes but it is up to how you play.

When you want more spin and speed with shorter strokes. and you loop on both sides, there is only one answer - Tenergy 05. Of course, it is not a cheap answer - so people do the Evolutions, Bluefires, Rasants etc. What you have chosen is good - a bit too long trajectory and low throw for me...

Is there any momentum towards standardizing the table tennis ball rather than having all the different types that play differently? Have you watched any of Gregg Lett's youtube videos criticizing the ITTF with cartoons and if so what do you think of them? Is there any plan to either legalize...

Heavier blades allow you to get good spin and speed with shorter strokes. You might be swinging way more than you actually need to. You both have pretty good games, though the familiarity may be masking some of both your strengths.

Only because you have no serious love for Jugaad! You need more innovation in your life, Carl. You need to fall in love with the poor man's version of these things. Aren't you from America where we try to do things for ourselves? Surely, feeding your self is better than being fed by someone...

Yes, I guess our only difference of opinion is whether the poor man's copy is laudable or not.

Carl, it is not idiotic. In fact, I think you fail to appreciate Siva's Indian heritage and his usage of Jugaad. Since I come from Nigeria originally, I understand the use of contraptions to make do when you cannot have the ideal setup. This is a running theme through his videos and coaching...

Okay. What spin is on this serve (video coming soon)....

Carl, it is not topspin as in real topspin. Any topspin on that ball comes from table grip and not the stroke. You are right that the ball needs to come in at close to table height to have a better chance of skidding. It also has to be sidespin mostly (not deviation or corkscrew but more...

Probably the guy in red recording the video. But yes, I really shouldn't guess.

Your opponent seems a couple of levels above you. Do you play him often?

Yes. It is not backspin or topspin. It is largely pure sidespin that skids on the table.

V-Griper, Thanks for the video. Seems like you and Archosaurus would make for a good partnership in dealing in such details.

On a counterhit/block? This is news to me. Feel free to post the right motion and explain the dangers of this motion.

I think the Goon Squad has started sending secret messages as the Moon squad in order to avoid detection. They say there are two reasons - the first is that they like to work at night and the second is that the they like to moon people and show their butts. This thing has me confused. If a...

Is this explanation a Jugaad explanation? Or did you buy it in the retail store as the specifically required explanation for such situations? We TT players tend to be cheap unless we get addicted to Tenergy. So I need to know whether this explanation is Jugaad or was purchased after a...

Yeah, P-Nut, Sebas, Archo, Siva. All regular Joes given the Goon squad treatment by the NL-USDC-DE-TTM cabal. Taking over your neighborhood soon. And if you don't like it, just be a Goon!

Do not worry, Archosaurus. As long as you don't delete your posts, they will l ways speak more loudly than any reinterpretations your ego will make of your past behavior. This is true for all of us... Time to go do my anti-Goon squad gear. It actually just means more TT playing and less TT...

Coaching is difficult without a goal in mind. It's part of the reason why it is better for me to work with people who want to win matches at a certain level. It's harder to tell someone who isn't trying to win that what they are doing is not working or will not work down the road. When they...
