Craziest upset I've ever seen lol. Amazing play by the Iranian team!

The FH is looking a lot better now! There is a lot more spin and sting in those shots. Your major weakness now is that you're pretty much only countering weakly with your BH, the lower body involvement in the BH needs to be a lot more for the threat level to increase. Otherwise your opponents...

what the hell is this lol - missing so many loops off reverse pendulum long fast sidetopspin serves....

Sometimes you need to think about how to disgust your opponent vs actually trying to play good shots lol

Ouch... I drive like 1km to my regular club... and I'm already lazy to drive to other clubs 20km away!

D05 is the bomb imo. Long af durability + bomb spin + speed can make a lot of magic happen.

Tried playing with just my right hand to ensure that I havent forgot how to play lol. Was still roughly equal in games with my penholder training partner lol. Lost a painful 5 game decider after leading 10-6. Just wasn't concentrating for a bit, made a few unforced errors and he was back. After...

This also is important to understand if they are chopblocking your loops as most loops have some sidespin in it which will also be reversed. For eg if you BH loop with natural sidespin, the chopblock will most likely curve to your left too, reverse is true with forehand loops. You need to take...

On the rest of the game, I also play hyper aggressive most of the time lol. Not only do I attack all long serves, but also most short serves with either BH chiquita or FH flick. I can share with you what I hate the most. 1) Suddenly throwing slower deep high topspin balls to their wide BH can...

This is the correct approach imo. I think contacting ball on side leads to more errors looping due to less of a "contact window". In fact, it is better to go with the sidespin instead of against it. Ie if the ball is curving to the left, your stroke trajectory should be following the ball (ie...

Also, isn't encountering a hyper aggressive looper your best matchup since you love blocking and counterattacking? You pretty much won anyways...

Obviously if he contacts the top of the ball then it's topspin and if he contacts more of the bottom of the ball then it's underspin. But most advanced hook serves don't use this concept because it's easy to tell which part of the ball was contacted. Advanced hook serves use close to the same...

Yes, especially if it's the more frictionless type. They can however still kill the spin, or even add to the spin continuation depending on the stroke. But this means for eg if you serve FH pendulum sideunderspin, it'll become quite easy to loop it with the BH (just one example), which is...

There appears to be some kind of myth regarding serving sidespin to long pips being a stupid idea. After some experiences of using LPs, I think that's the lazy way out. You can predict the spin coming back based on the opponent's stroke. The most stable way of returning serves with the LP is...

Nah a lot of discrimination and disadvantages are unique to Asians, you have no idea at all because you don't have the lived experiences. Even the stuff you talk about is what we worked very hard on off blood, sweat and tears (including all the sacrifices to keep the family together unlike many...

In Chinese the most common response to a loop is 贴 (holding bat largely still and high, using the body to press down on the ball) or 围 (wrapping the ball around the side). I prefer the 2nd because it allows me to create very nasty sidespin angles - there's the "hook" version and there's the...

There are no advantages to being Asian in the US. Asians work hard like shit and have the lowest crime rates but are not getting anywhere except becoming worker bees. Asians in the US constantly pay an invisible Asian tax, right from racial bullying at schools to official racist quotas at...

We have no problems in Chinese culture in terms of disciplining kids and we sure have very few of the problems like fatherless families you were mentioning. Not sure what your point was in relation to the topic which is needlessly imposing harsh conditions on kids to make them "tougher" - stuff...

Hahah yeah 🤣 maybe they should have used some tough old CRT screens....

I'm not sure why out of the box thinking can't be applied here, just get a cheap af "dumb phone" which can only make calls and receive texts, that would solve both problems at the same time.... If I were a parent I wouldn't be comfortable with your proposed arrangement either.
