Because I feel the gains from short pimples are not really outweighing my losses. eg spinny bh opener, spinny bh push I have decided to go fully back to reversed both sides. As my bh would need hours of work and training with the short pimple (and no one really wants to train with the pimple...

Played another tournament yesterday, played much better with the Force Pro and 1.9 tenergy on fh again. Harder work but made me play better. I was putting the ball away well with my fh against better players to, not enough to win but enough to feel encouraged and positive for a change.

Carl, thanks for the pointers. Clearly my problems are mostly footwork and years of timid pushes based. It has helped clear my mind about equipment. I need to stick with the short pimples and work on stuff properly at training!! I have been trying to meet the fh a bit earlier recently and...

Lula or Carl, anything to say? Feel like my Sp shots are getting a bit better. I am trying to hit flatter!!

Yes the trouble of posting videos of your weaknesses is it exposes them to people who may not have known, but then if everybody plays this way I will get better at it. Ha ha

Here is another match with me playing a modern player with reversed both sides. Be interested in any suggestions about returning his chop serves to my bh, which I felt got him through the game in the end??

you think i dont already

cheers I am trying to take the fh earlier, but also this is a stiffer blade and i think it helps with my fh control. for some reason i find it hard to hit flat with the sp and I am very close to giving up on them. too much muscle memory built in to this old body of mine

Any tips VVK1?

yes the next match i post i basically lose because of chop serves to bh. agreed my serves are weak and spinless and too high.

Trouble is hard to roll that ball back with my SP, it just slides down them when I try and play a slower roll. Something I need to practice a bit. But noted and will try and train a bit on it and what you suggest!!

Me playing v two modern players with my sp! Played ok but too many unforced errors. Any advice on dealing with those chop serves??

This is me playing with pimples on bh, I bet you cant guess what? Lula? Carl? I think I play fairly well in this match!

Lula they are definitely not that grippy, they are very very fast though maybe too much. maybe i should try a grippier short pimple just to see the difference? my thought would be it would be easier to open up on the longer and lower balls, first ball, then hit the next one I think maybe the...

I think you may be correct about sometimes gripping too tight though. I have been reading some stuff suggesting the spectol red are more medium pimples than short. They can be very weird and floaty at times.

To be fair Carl, my grip changes and becomes more normal on bh, my thumb rises a bit to centre of blade. It is a weird grip though. It makes my fh a lollipop grip on fh blocks.
