So the question is this - if this is such a significant innovation, why haven't other players on the CNT been asked to duplicate it?

I know someone who played both Ma Lin and Wang Liqin and said that Ma Lin's forehand frightened him more. In a sense, Wang Liqin's forehand was in part about how consistently powerful it was when you got into a rally. Once Wang Liqin got past serve and serve return, he almost always won in the...

This is an interesting point. Would love to hear the reasoning that supports this.

I know the feeling. The problem is that it is this same feeling that leads to beginners trying to "emulate" pros by hitting the ball as hard as possible rather than learning to spin the ball and improving their spin generation and then learning to hit fast balls with high levels of spin. In...

JeffM, Again, like I said, watch the Brett Clarke videos and take notes. He talks about the optimal motion for serving in this one below. This is how you accelerate the racket over a short distance and get massive amounts of spin. It makes it easier to disguise spin changes with subtle...

Why do you feel this? Would love to hear your reasoning.

There is a train as well. But just keep in touch once you get here.

I can't be sure until Saturday morning. Send me your details when you are in town. PRinceton would have been easier but I will try.

Baum and Mizutani are still top players on their national squads with Baum having various degrees of psychological issues that have recently dropped his level. Yu Ziyang won the Japan Open and whatever you think about his match vs Mizutani, he beat other good players to get into the final. He...

The elbow is not high enough for a quality reverse pendulum using that technique.

He was a world junior champion. Something else (maybe underperformance or just other issues) is going on.

Kowabonga, Call 911. Your eyesight needs help.

By trying to copy good players without understanding what they are doing.

Yes, but every new Youtube channel is tied to a google plus account. I created mine before this policy came into play so Google basically restricts everything you can do with comments or streaming until you accept this tie in. I could and probably should create a new TT account.

While tacky rubbers are not good rubbers, IMO, at least, they reveal the limitations of your looping game more seriously than European rubbers do. So this will be fun to see.

Yes, he is. He has been 2300+ at his peak. He actually beat an ex-Olympian (head coach of that club) in the league at that club. My two wins against him last year are two of the best matches I have ever played by far. Of course, all the losses I have against him I try to erase from my memory...

Now you are making me feel weird. I am not an expert on anything. Just like you, I sometimes find the time to share the lessons that I have received from great coaches so that people who don't have that access or are struggling at an older age don't get frustrated - for personal reasons and...

I agree. The reason I wondered about pingpongdong's statement is that my punch serve is my spinniest serve. So spinny I am often afraid to play behind it and do not serve it.

None of the footage is public. The TTEdge app does have his serve tho.
