Don't try to diagnose him please - he knows he wants to EJ!

You just don't know own your game. It is not a good thing to be an advanced players and not understand how you win or lose points. People in your club tend to know. Opponents who beat you tend to know where they get their points from. If you don't know, then you can play into their hands...

I can serve with heavy spin with just about anything so I may be the wrong person to ask. When someone says that it is hard to serve with a rubber, I shake my head. I remember a rubber someone said was bad for serving that I had extra sheets of. I gifted those sheets to a world class server...

Short backspin to the forehand corner is a down the line serve. Unless you are a down the line serve specialist, the bounce distances can mess you up because they are slightly different. The other issue as DerEchte pointed out is racket angle often being misconceived. You need to really open...

So I finally settled on using the Tibhar Kim Jung Hoon as my Nexy blade, currently with Karis M on both sides. Very controllable and consistent set up with good spin. Will continue to explore it for a while. Haven't lost a match with it yet but I have also played the more dangerous opponents...

Given the amount of spin that man generates, that is impressive for a chopper.

Carbon blades and ALC blades have come a long way according to many people I speak to on the subject, even more so with the plastic ball. I remember talking to a friend of mine and he felt that the TBS/TB ALC were relatively woody. He just didn't think the extra expense was justified until he...

I tend to share what I can because 1) I coach, 2) I need my practice partners to get better so I can get better, 3) I need to test some of my findings and 4) I like to see people get better. But there aren't as many secrets as people think there are.

I think my facts were wrong - he is not a professor at MIT. But you know who he is - the old man VS.

So my quick story with Karis: I had read the Nexy President's rubber design history posts and was intrigued by Karis. When BH Man hinted it had arrived and he had stock, I order a couple in the harder sponge, M+. I used T80 on a Yasaka Extra (I have 4 or 5 of those YE blades) so I put Karis...

It's the modern approach. But the specific issues I am talking about show up when a backhand player after hitting back hands gets a ball to the wide forehand. Most players reach for the ball and are lucky to stay in the point with any quality. Brett tried his best to improve what I did to the...

Footwork adjustment is in part a response to reading the ball trajectory. Not easy to assimilate as an adult. Today, I was laughing when Jeoung Youngsik of Korea hit an allout backhand from the forehand side into the backhand side vs Ma Long and Ma Long popped up the return and Jeoung ran back...

Jeff, something about your forehand just looks off - it's almost as if you get little to no core rotation. But maybe I am missing something.

Not sure the latter explanation makes complete sense but coming from a player who is looking at you, it is likely to be reasonable. You have hit powerful forehands so it is more likely that there is something about your rotation given your bias to be fairly square to the table that doesn't...

Do you recommend growing you hair or going bald to look sexy?

He could still have conceded the point if he wanted to. The same thing happened in CC-JYS yesterday and the person who broke the ball conceded the point because they knew they missed the ball. Can't fully blame the kid for trying to win, but it happens.

Dima is the Human Torch right now... that 2-0, 3-2 point was ridiculous....

He was there for some matches - depends on which you watch - he did the CCY - JYS match.

Have you ever seen a chopper get a game of Xu Xin? Fix your prediction!

To be honest, any other result would be a miracle. So it is not an error.:p
