You mean one of these guys here that people say are clearly over 2000? I have actually beaten both players once each in tournament play, though I have lost quite a few times to both a well.

Kukamonga is just attempting humor. Carl and archosaurus already know how I feel about such posters so I am loath to repeat myself but in the end, it would be nice to see the beginners in Burkina Faso so I can tell the beginners in Nigeria how terrible they are.

The biggest challenge is not match play but training. You can't get the reps your body needs to adapt. And it hurts more with less adrenalin.

Fine. And let's also remember that I will not show you the same respect I showed a player whose highest TTR was closer to 2200-2400. The kid is about 1700-1800 TTR.

I agree, NDH. I am not really saying that people are wrong. It's just that some of them are pretending that they never have bad matches that are similar to what I initially posted or that they understand table tennis in this special way that means that there aren't exceptions to general table...

Okay. There is nothing sensitive - I am stating facts. I have posted 4 videos and it seems that people can't read between the lines. Based on the first set of this match, what would you rate me as?

Xylit, I don't disagree with your analysis, but my opponent is using short pips and I have played enough with my issues to develop work arounds but I play at a certain level. IT may not be 1700TTR, but it is pretty close, and people don't just walk over me by making me move. Well, let me show...

That's fine. It all depends on who you play with. But I am Nigerian and I know we play at a higher standard than Burkina Faso and I don't think anyone in Nigeria has ever called me a beginner. You have to realize that when playing someone who is 200 pts below you, the truth is that you can...

I have been USATT 1950-2050 for over a year now through style changes and worsening health. The video is one game in one match - draw from it whatever conclusions you may. I posted it in part because it was so anomalous compared to how I usually play and i wanted to see how people would...

Inevitable but it isn't always as straightforward as you think. Alex Polyakov played his best tournament ever after having hardly had sufficient time to train for it. People underestimate the impact of improved cognitive reads when you have good technique. So they don't realize how hard it is...

IF you want to replace T05 and you like hard sponge, use O5 Asia. MX-S throws too low. Tenergy 05 is just an amazing rubber. Too amazing for me I must admit since I like harder sponge.

The level for that is USATT 1600. Above USATT 1800, if you don't have shots, you will be picking up the ball most of the time. IT's what you do to people that makes them feel the pressure of attacking and missing.

I didn't say join ttedge, I Said get the TTEdge app (if you have a smart phone, search for "Table Tennis Edge" in your app store and down load it, then pay the $5 to get the full version). If you do this very soon, you will thank me for years to come. I don't need the thanks, but you need the...

MY friend, you are too smart not to get faster with experience. Keep plugging away, get and pay for the TTEdge App asap as it will be a fantastic investment come the month of April, and keep working at it.

What is really insulting is the pretense of expertise. When are you posting video of your 2400+ play? Can you give a rating estimate of yourself so we know what to look forward to? Any ranking system will do.

The sample size is small enough that many bad conclusions can be drawn from it. And it is okay to say that. I was actually frustrate in part because I was missing shots that I usually make. To call that level inappropriate is exactly the issue - you have no clue what is possible at a certain...

Well, here is me beating a career 2200 player. Maybe it will give you a better appreciation of my third ball game and make you think over whether my shorts are level inappropriate or not.

Ahhh, Parviz - great guy. He used to be much higher when he was younger. You are lucky to have such good players at your club.
