So, Andy, I looked at your video. First of all, your warmup is much improved from the prior times I have seen - you largely warmed up in this match like a good player and you actually hit a few good forehand topspins in the warm up for your level of experience. Same with the backhand topspin -...

My approach is different. I tell the student to be willing to miss in practice and to avoid judging their early success on whether they made the shot. It takes a lot for the student to trust this approach so I send them lots of material on how learning really works. Once they commit to doing...

It well and truly sucks. Doesn't help to have degenerative arthritis either.

If you are going to use T80FX, only good choice is Innerforce ZLF. The others are too hard.

Aurus is definitely a tensor.

What rubbers were used in the test?

Dan won 11-9.

Hmmm... sister might even be hotter...

This is Ma Long's personal event. He loves to win in China. No Ma Lin to stop him. The only real alternative IMO is FZD. So my picks are Ma Long and Chen Meng.

Why am I supposed to love this thread yet I am careful about liking it?

The beauty of starting older is that you can look forward to improving for the rest of your life and you will learn a lot in a technical sport like this. Those who trained in their youth often get to levels that they don't see themselves going back to as they get older. Be sure to work with...

Is he already in LA? Is he sick? These short responses make no sense.

You mean P3, P5 and P7 and Tenzone and Tenzone SF weren't tensors?

Well, with no prior notifications and no clear prime movers behind the site, it's getting harder for me to trust the site as much as it is my main home.

Yes, the rubber felt harder. I play with relatively hard stuff with soft topsheet (and BD has soft topsheet), but I need something that lets me manipulate the ball. Hard stuff requires too hard a swing to get things moving sometimes and I don't swing hard enough for the 39 or 40 degree...

With MyTT down again, I expect more posters and lurkers to make the transition.

Not an equipment expert per se. I did use Big Dipper but stopped because I didn't like the inconsistent quality control. Also Big Dipper's softest is 38 deg. I haven't used any of the others. But yes, Big Dipper was very good for me on both FH and BH. If they made the QC consistent, I would...

My coach says something similar about his students. He mocks them and says that because they don't play any sports that have them in close proximity to the opponent that gives them contact, even basketball or soccer, they overestimate the combat level of table tennis.

Well, they just said that they were not going to rebid on the contract to make and market NBA jerseys. That's a profitable contract so it just means they knew that they didn't have the money to afford the bidding war that would take place.

It depends - either someone buys the product line from ESN, or the company comes back under a new name, or ESN makes the rubber for someone else.
