My point exactly, Der Echte. Props to you too. So the question here is how many of those guys played with fast setups?

It's largely because you don't play enough. Another story about me - in 2012, I had switched coaches and my new coach had helped me get to a new rating high in the 1500s or so. We then went to a tournament together and he watched me play (I went 1-10 or so on that day). After I lost my last...

As Carl said, I am talking about the fact that even the mental game improves when pressure situations are practiced. IF you play deuce alternating serve matches a lot, your game at deuce points improves. I play a lot of tournaments so i can write a lot about the mental game, especially in the...

Coming under the ball is fine. Maybe it's the video but it's not clear you are getting real backspin - the serves look like mostly sidespin to me even as you label them backspin. However, do realize that while curved trajectories look good, the ball is easier to manipulate in the hands of an...

Too much sidespin on all the backspin serves. That's my view at least. Your wrist action also looks much less than it could be.

Kevin, You are a smart man.

Get something more modern if you want to loop - if you don't at least get a Sriver/Mark V equivalent - Flextra is a bit too slow.

98g is not going to happen. Lots of good blades that are cheap once you reduce the weight. Ask for a heavy Appelgren AR Exclusive or a heavy Yasaka Extra.

Psychological issues are the popular reason why people choke. IMO, unless you were clearly upset or nervous or having a panic attack or missing shots that you usually make in practice, the issues are overhyped. The simple way to see this is to see what happens when people practice things that...

For me, these things ultimately boil down to match results over a period of a month or so and what shots and possibilities are opened by the new rubber. In isolation, it is easy to overemphasize this or that (for example, I used to overemphasize my short game control with Big Dipper and...

BTW, the Dandoy Deal often has each rubber coming to about $30-$35 bucks, for any Evolution. Even with VAT etc. this should enter your $200 budget comfortably and have you set for a year with world class rubbers. The shipping is free.

When looking into the future or understanding the legal implications of a deal in a press release, your ResurrectionStone is as good as mine.

Carl, don't tell me that you mixed up the 2015 NA Cup with the 2014 US Nationals... This is what Jim actually won: http://www.teamusa.org/USA-Table-Tennis/Events/2015/May/15/2015-North-American-Cup

Butterfly in their first press release made it sound like they had an exclusivity agreement.

Keep me posted on that one.

Yeah - I must be in one of those moods where anything I write must make sense even when it doesn't quite :cool:. And to be honest, without that 4 for 3 deal, I am not sure I would be using Evolution today.

With $200, you really should just buy new rubbers and keep the blade you currently have. Order from Dandoy their 3 for the price of 4 Evolution deal.

ttnpp.com has it for relatively cheap, but Mark V is overpriced rubber IMO. If you want cheap but fairly reliable stuff, your best bet is to look at this website in the US www.colestt.com He supplies most of the good Chinese stuff at a decent price. I was reluctant to recommend the site...
