definitely parallel to the ground if you want to put more spin

only 2 points ??? hey Dan, you looked like you didn't want to win, you were pushing quite a few times while you had a chance to attack....

Hi Shuki I've seen only one video, the one where playing in red against an older fat guy with glasses. He's not that strong and you know both each other well so its difficult to have an idea of your level just with this. But here's a few things that i noted: - you're quite tall and i think your...

personnally there should be gentleman club's rule. I think its horrible for the atmosphere that good players don't play at all with lower players. After all, we were all beginners and were happy to be taught a thing or two by higher ranked players. and there's always somebody stronger than you...

Hitomi SATO is the new terror

apparently JSH plays only in team's event, not singles, unfortunately

I think Dima wins 11-5

Lets not forget the Japanese Team, Niwa no2 is very strange. Yoshimura looks much more promising. Niwa has not a lot of results recently. And its very wrong not to let Ito play singles. She just beated Ding Ning at Asian Qualifiers !!!! Fukuhara, and even more Ishikawa have a long losing record...

no idea if they differ, but Korbel is a great blade, and cheap on top of that !! ive been playing with that forever... (more than 15 years ?)

the best (but the most onerous) is to train with a professional coach. if its done well, just the fact of playing with a bucket of 50 or 100 balls means no wasted time to pick up the balls, in the same amount of time, you play 3x more balls, it becomes a real workout, you build not technique...

i've trained with Chris Beckley, he's a quite motivating coach, very flexible and not expensive, and a very kind guy. I wouldn't recommend him for national level players, but for all beginners and intermediate players, he'll do a good job. i think he used to be in the top20 in England He's...

I play with T80 on FH and SpinArt on BH. Spinart is one of bty hardest rubbers and the tackiest one. But it doesn't feel so different to me to T80. More spin more control, spees almost the same except only when hitting flat the ball. I use short stroke for my BH near the table, I try to play...

I agree that the RPB will not solve every problem, and indeed it creates a new range of problem. in my experience, what im finding out, is that against players around same level than me or lower ranked, it becomes a strength, and can win a lot of points and hence the match. Against stronger...

hmmm i am not a penholder, what i said is valid for shakehand player. i don't think i see penholders doing banana flick. if anything, the technique should be adapted a bit. as a general rule, its easier to fight the underspin by hitting the ball near the pole, but its not necessary to hit it...

as for me, as i wrote above (pls read it), the bat for the banana flick always start at 3'oclock..that is on the side, the tip of the racket on the RIGHT. you have to twist your wrist for that. against a slightly underspin ball, i will try the flick. against a low and heavy underspin ball i...

@ttmonster for a long while i thought it was an advanced shot. I don't consider myself as an advanced player, a good intermediate level. nonetheless, if one cannot do a "normal" BH properly, most probably he won't be able to do the banana flick. the thing is, if you are taught and understand...

I have become quite good at Banana flick. I use it all the time now. My main problem is not executing it, but rather to be able to read the service properly because if i try to execute Banana flick on a half long or long serve thats a high risk to make a mistake !!!! Yet, my technique is not...

Lebesson vs Drinkhall 1 set all... very close game

In a tense full set-game, Ito wins it for Japan !! Congrats Mima !!! :cool:

if he needs a soft rubber DON'T buy Spinart !
