  1. The big EDGE TAPE thread.

    I bought one in black and one in red maybe 7 months ago or so - one of my smartest purchases in TT ever.
  2. TTEdge Executing Table Tennis Shots Series!

    The video on my counterspin had me rethinking what the meanings of "full face of the bat" and "swinging shallow" were and I have a better appreciation of what was wrong with my shadow stroke now. One of the benefits of this video analysis of my counterloop is that it has enabled me to see that...
  3. TTEdge Executing Table Tennis Shots Series!

    The one thing I will say for Andy is that his shadow training has improved the general waist rotation and body turn and made it feel more natural for him to do the rotation while swinging. Even as the stroke being grooved was imperfect, the physical effects on his hip/waist/core/shoulder...

    Carl using perfectly sane and sound logic to analyze a fabled video where people would agree that Ma Lin used magnets to make the ball boomerang if it could prove that ZJK didn't touch the ball and Ma Lin is a special server... Who do you think you are convincing anyways other than the people...

    Wow... Strong bad is dangerous for mental health... he would fit perfectly into MYTT.
  6. Amazing Serves

    Someone posted on mytt that CNT coaches said there were techniques for making the ball trajectory look similar to that for a different spin and that Waldner and Guoliang did this extremely well. As crazy as this sounds, this gives some insight into what roundrobin once said that a player who...

    Baal, I think there was sarcasm and visual aesthetics inspiring the original poster of that video, but I can't say for sure.
  8. EJs wanted! a rubber similar to Adidas P7

    I would have said Donic Baracuda as well, but I find Andro Hexer to be a tad bit closer as it is less sensitive than Baracuda in the short game and more similar to P7 in that regard. But I guess the class with Hexer, Genius and Baracuda is a pretty tough group, even if they never matched...
  9. Amazing Serves

    He's no Waldner but this guy is an underestimated server a well - great guy too ;). I wish more of his matches were on youtube. He has the lefty advantage. My reverse pendulum is now getting good enough for the snake serve to be a threat. My pendulum, which is what the snake serve...

    Oh, Dan got multiple reports. I think the last straw was UP welcoming a new member with derogatory statements about TT players. I know Hex reads this site and he is reading this - he once posted a statement I made here to troll me at mytt.net. He also referred today to the minja troll...

    Yeah. How they have never had an AgentHex infestation, I don't know.

    I really.felt for you during the Troll K Ninja epidemic. I still suspect that there is a triumvirate of allied characters but that's another story.
  13. The big EDGE TAPE thread.

    Baal recommended to me a plain tape that is sold on Amazon. Protects the blades and the rubbers. I bought two $10 Rolls and I now tape blades for free for friends because I am never going to run out. The tapes are reusable and transferable. If I get home and use a PC, I will post a link. Or...

    Yes, as the levels of spin and spin variation get higher, it just gets harder to consciously do what a guy who has been doing this as a kid now has automatically built in as pattern recognition. I call my serves lousy for my level. And in some ways they are. But when I serve to my students or...

    The problem is not loving the game - the problem is the ability to read and manipulate spin at a high level. It's not the rallying that is the issue. It's all the serves that he has to gain experience reading and touching and returning. That's where the pros separate themselves from the rest...

    Table tennis is like a language - you are very much behind on the hours in getting comfortable with the vocabulary. If you played or got some coaching before now, then maybe there is a chance. But if you just started, you have a lot of work to do. You can invest some time this year and see...

    Spoken like a true moderator! So when are you going into Air Traffic Control???? :p
  19. What is your favorite cheer?

    That was disgusting - choing too because you were deceiving the guy and he couldn't tell what rubber you were hitting the ball with... cheap.
  20. What is your favorite cheer?

    Some of the early days of civilized chos... I wonder who can provide the earliest video with a cho type celebration.
