I went to a league yesterday night and in the division below mine, there was a guy, S, whose athleticism and stroke power that I respect a lot - he hasn't beaten me that I remember (or maybe he has once), but his full bodied strokes usually gave me problems and forced me to stop playing...

Hahahaha, Carl. One thing I will say is that because inverted is the dominant playing surface, how well you play against it tends to define your general playing level and as you get better, the key is usually serve return and heavy topspin. Things like how you play against backspin/chop, pip...

Yeah, the Mods are fighting a troll infestation with limited resources. It's hard to join the mod squad when you are as provocative and in-your-face as I can be sometimes. I think it's sad that the troll fighting tools haven't automatically caught up with the sophistication of trolls, because...

Pips (and I mean long pips) players are all different, you have to play them a lot to get used to reading the ball and the stroke. Start with pip players at the lowest level, because when you play higher level ones or ones at your level, you have to read the pips and the player, and that is...

The timing of this video could not be better. In the past month or so, there seems to have been a resurgence of troll activity at all forums to some degree. Yeah, it's hilarious how people comment about other people's strokes without putting things in perspective. Pros just get the worst of...

BTW, while I can't find youtube highlights for some reason, Sakura Mori actually played Bernadette Szocs once. I called it Battle of the Choing Banshees. It was hilarious to see one player choing and steaming ahead, and then the other came back from 0-2 down and won in the fifth getting...

When I am really pumped, then you hear me say, "Cho, come on, fight!", "Focussss!" and "Yessss!" in no set order, the first being the most common.

Sakura Mori.

Good stuff - just don't skip the practice off drop! If you have to, do it in front of Amila!

Andy, Saw your latest lesson and I was very impressed by the effects of the shadow training so far on your ease of movement - still work to go but I saw signs of progress. You're actually going to convince me to do more shadow training myself at this rate - I might stay off the table for a...

If this is what you are boosting with, I will just shoot you in the leg before we play. Too much work trying to compete otherwise...

Come on guys, Ma Lin was clearly grocery shopping... wasn't he????:rolleyes:

Unfortunately, my club tournament is that weekend in Philly. Would definitely have planned on making the trip otherwise.

Yes, it is the combination of shotmaking and mobility that is ridiculous. IT's like the players were playing H-O-R-S-E with each other all over the table or "Anything you can do, I can do better".

Try out other people's rubber in your club and see whether there is anything you like or do not like - after testing, then decide whether what you like outweighs what you do not like. No one can tell you what rubber to like from afar on this forum. We will only tell you what we like and do not...

The description is accurate. I believe all high quality rubbers can be adapted to if one is given time to adapt to them. It really comes down to feel and preference. MX-P plays more like Tenergy 05 while MX-S seems directed at that person who likes to use Chinese type rubbers and needs/uses...

When Tenergy was $80, selling it used was a big deal, and Tenergy still has a long enough life cycle that some people buy iy when it is significantly used or don't mind stocking old sheets. I would say it is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it and is not something with a price you...

Another classic internet TT troll (for me, there are six and I will list by initials of one of their many user names though they don't troll everywhere equally - PN, AH, SA, UP/SJ, BM, RA ) made a reappearance recently on another forum and he convinced me that I need to use the easy solution...

Wow, the audience didn't jump and shower the table with gold coins after seeing that rally live? I would have!

You are getting better as a player - don't blame the equipment for your improved play! Let your opponents do that! Unless of course, these posts are an effort to get them started in that direction...
