In my experience the D40+ and other ABS seamed balls have been great as far as consistency of the play if 3*. The seamless have more variation with some brands good and some brands not so much. But 1 star seamless are just not round and/or balanced. If they land on the wrong point, they...

Hahaha... I really did not want to waste his time. I lost to a guy who talked a lot in between points earlier in the day and I don't wish that on anyone. I really should have stayed in group B lol rather than going into group A.

It was a large snake seed - 160 players, 32 groups of 5 in the 1st round robin. All 1st placed players play in an event , the second round robin, All 2nd placed players in another event etc. I won the 32nd group and got seeded as the weakest player in the draw in the group with the strongest...

1 star seamless balls are not round and are a waste of money.

The funny thing is that Bryan's stroke is pretty short, the arm position is driven by the rotation of the hips not by the arm being pulled back (which is what I do and which makes my stroke pretty long). It's just a different technique and you can get something similar with a bent arm. You can...

You seem to be doing extremely well for an adult who has played only two years. I don't think that there are any game changing flaws in your technique to be honest. That you do a semi-cross/split step when hitting the forehand in practice is pretty impressive. On the backhand vs backspin, you...

Was a crazy weekend. Can't capture it in words. But let me start with the highlight and then we can go from there later. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBMQcjRVvUU FIXED.

How long have you been playing for, BryanY?

He also needs opportunities to see what happens against Harimoto. This is probably his best opportunity.

Really no point in responding at length. Your view is understood and acknowledged.

Sometimes, you have to get to know who you are talking to to get where they are coming from. If you get to know Suga D, you will understand what drives him. Sure you and others are the same. It is hard to communicate on the internet. Harder in forum posts.

Cross step, the feet actually cross. Semi cross the feet don't cross but the feeling is similar. It is like jumping and swinging into the ball all at once. You know on cross stro, you are swinging before your left foot lands. The same on semi-cross. But your left leg isn't moving so far...

If you are late to a ball you are already committing to a particular hitting wing. The issue is not what happens in drills where you know where the ball is going. The issue is what happens when you are surprised by a ball or a ball is played to your middle. If you need to move then backswing...

To be honest TTEDGE always teaches to backswing while moving and focuses on footwork which you use when you don't know where the ball is going so mostly cross and semi cross footwork.

The WTTC and Olympics are coming, gotta get some practice in.

Yoshimura is Oshima's team mate. Guys, you do know that teammates prepare each other for mutual opponents, right?

Oshima and Yoshimura senior have kinda peaked. The main thing is to give it to someone who can actually get seriously better.

Youth has volatility. Maybe Uda or Kitzikuri? Are they that much better? That is my point.

There is a video with a Canadian pro where he discusses it in both directions. He kind of confuses it but it existed as s video. By the way, TTEdge talks about the hit and move thing a lot and says it is one of those disconnects between how people actually play and how they are taught to play...

Anders Lind has been playing strong in European leagues recently. I don't think this is a big deal.
