The test needs to be run with a variety of boosters.

Never underestimate the power of doing two things that do the same thing but look different. Table tennis is interesting like that.

The thing about Brett is that Brett actually teaches whip. Other coaches may say things like use your wrist or loosen your grip or change your grip but Brett has an amount of whip he ideally wants to see - for me, the cue which I forgot in the set of videos I filmed before this new set (not on...

Yes, but in this case, it is not just the spin but the form. I tend to generate good spin on my serves - but in this case, I am working on a variety of technical details, of which spin is one, with Brett to get a high level serve with variations for side top and side backspin - I am working on...

Well, I haven't received feedback on this set of videos yet. The problem is that sometimes, how you feel and what you are doing don't jibe together. If you ask me whether I am getting whip in the prior videos to this, I will tell you yes. But Brett saw things he didn't like and asked for a...

Innerforce Layer are not a good as Innerforce blades if the rumblings I hear have merit. I bought my Innerforce blades used and love them.

I am getting more whip but the video is only showing 30% of it and the backswing still looks a little stiff. May resume on Friday. Or possibly tomorrow. The search for easy whip continues.

Without video, I will say that the method can tax the shoulder a lot. So with my RA also killing my shoulder, I have tried to move my whip to being more around the elbow/forearm.

Yep. I read this and I said that this looks essentially in some ways like my forehand looping technique. I think it has its power limits, and there are reasons why if you play further back that you would want to use standard looping technique, but in many ways, what Greg is saying is an element...

Exactly. The statement is based on sponge as dampener, not sponge as spring. In a sense, I can understand it and think it is right, but in another sense, it needs to be caveated because its practical application in the modern game is questionable. Unfortunately, the practical application of...

Happy Birthday, Buddy! You need some new equipment...

That's why Carl is my buddy - our goal is to help people. My personal limitations are what they are, but in the end, it's about trying to help.

I think the exhibition element of our sport is severely underutilized. I think more effort should be put into designing and building out co-ordination events to attract more women.

Goon squad bait...

When Pnatchwey would start a thread here on some scientific or engineering topic, for a while, some newly opened account would miraculously show up on mytt with a post linking to the thread on ttd asking people to come over and debate. Pure coincidence? You be the judge.

Come on, buddy. You have not been attacked. And if anyone attacks you,the Empire will strike back ;).

You were supposed to think I was serious. OTherwise, my point about why the thread should not be closed would have little impact.

Hahahaa... I was just joking about the ban though. I wanted to make the point that we can't close every thread we don't like.

OK, if we want to go that route, I think OP should be banned. He has been banned on every other major TT website.

Why should it be closed?
