Hey OSP, 1) I have wondered about that question when I got a new bat a year ago but my backhand rubber hasn't arrived. The sweat from your hand can directly come into contact with the wood. While if you leave the bat in open air after playing, the sweat will evaporate, you can potentially have...

Nice 3rd ball attacks and pushes OSP!

Hey Archo, the punches generated by penholders that do not use RPB can be very fast, but often the ball will become flat afterwards, i.e. less spin remains on the ball after the punch. They are indeed hard to predict where they will land, as the direction will depend on how they angle their bat...

I feel so honoured to have a dedicated post! I was reading about psychiatry and just about to fall asleep as it is nearly bed time, and then the red bold text in your post made me open my eyes! hahaha Well done OSP! I am glad that my failure can be helpful for others. Edit: to make my post...

Thanks for the explanation. I feel it is more like he got more used to my spin shots and my serves. And for not thinking straight, I kept serving short backspin or long topspin to him, but just not long backspin. That didn't work well lol. Either way, I think I know how to prepare myself...

Good thoughts! I am on borderline in terms of sleep hours last night, and yes, I think I probably ate too much before the game and ate my dinner in a rushing manner too... stupid me... True, maybe I am just mentally drained, usually I am good with these catching ups... less sleep + food coma...

I went and played as a substitute for B grade pennant tonight. I thought it might end in a better result as I had alot of playing hours last week from the unigames comp that ran for days. But as I got to the arena, I just feel tired. Not sure if I am just not motivated, but I cant track balls...

Nice shots OSP! I can see that combo happening! slower loop on 3rd ball and then smashing the 5th ball!

Nice Boogar! Yeah I agree with OSP! What a nice venue for TT! So much space + green floor! Adds a bit of Olympics feel to it haha.

Sounds like a superb weekend OSP! Nice point at 4:37! How much do I wish I can join you guys haha. Hope your wife is ok with you afterwards! TT always take longer than expected as it is so fun! (when you are not drained out already)

HAHAHA! I did think about saying FZD.. but you know me too well :P

Dayum!

Having a coach always helps when learning a new technique! That minimizes alot of unnecessary injuries as well! But trying some shadow strokes first may help, and hitting slowly helps too. Sometimes you can imagine how a shakehander plays his backhand, and then hold the penhold grip and in your...

Thanks songdavid98. I would not know because I don't really play SH. Do you play PH RBH too? I was chatting with the top penhold player at unigames, and he tells me that he still feels inferior when he plays backhand to backhand against SH players of similar levels. Thanks Xylit. Thanks NL...

Now that unigames is over for me, I have a video of where I am playing very well. Any comments are welcomed. He has beaten me convincingly previously, first time 5-1, second time 3-0. I had alot of trouble receiving his serves before. I have been lucky enough to have my teammate act as a...

Hey OSP, thanks! Yes I will definitely make one, this one is gonna have lots more good points, with a strong theme of RPB! Might not be too soon though, theres alot of content to chew through first :cool:

Watched a bit of your video Shuki, that man at 5:17... was lucky not to get some fracture Nice loops and backhand opening!

Thanks Boogar! Oh by Grade A I mean, they play in Grade A pennant. This is not national. By Grade B (the Hong Kong one), I am not sure , it is what my friend told me, as he knows someone at that level back in Hong Kong, and his friend plays that level in the B grade national in HK. And some...

I had a great run on Day 3 of Unigames today. We played players from UNSW, they are just absolutely dominating. I think the strongest ones are at national B grade Hong Kong standard. Anyway, I took one set off a player from that uni. Even though, he may not be playing at 100% strength, I was...
