Maybe the part you need to close the gap is that these guys are making their money doing this and can be extremely conservative in order to avoid hurting their daily performance? It has always been possible to play at the top level without Tenergy especially if you want to boost. Samsonov...

I'm sure if you see that a player can have good memories with a blade, you can also see that they can have good memories with a rubber or just believe that a rubber suits their style better than another rubber. It's not necessary to consider it Butterfly brainwashing. But I do agree that if...

I am fairly sure, even though I have no hard evidence, that part of the reason he left Tibhar is that Tibhar forces you to use Tibhar equipment. He probably didn't want to switch to MX-P.

If you have used a blade for any significant period of time, you will know that the longer you use it, the more it becomes like a part of your body. He is not going to change his blade unless he is forced to do so. As long as the Maze and the Freitas ALC are similar, I don't see what the harm...

Here is the Kanaph match - not a good ad, but I am working on it...

To make this point clearer, when I was 1200, I never used to come back from 4-10 or 2-10 down, even against 500 players. But when I got to 1900 approaching 2000, very often, I would play a 1700 player and be down 4-10. And in their heads, they assumed that the game was over, because they were...

The match is online - Rich was just on fire and I had nothing left. All the tricks that worked up to the 4th game, he had adapted to all of them and I was too tired to do anything.

Here is my own 2 cents on nerves: 1. The biggest thing that helps nerves is understanding and accepting the strengths and limitations of your game. If you are trying to loop and smash with long pips without extensive training and coaching or are trying to smash low heavy backspin with...

Today I went 4-2 at the NJTTC Giant RR. It could have been 5-1 had I managed to beat Rich DeWitt up 2-1 but he won the 4th 11-9 and I lost the 5th without winning a point. But I also saved a match down 0-2 (thanks in part to the gracious manner of my opponent, who could have taken the match...

That get out of jail was enough for me to not like EL-S

Buddy, got any daily chit chat to share? We have enough refs here that saw innings 1 through 8, no need to play umpire in inning 9.

Played some classic matches today. Also did battle with an old foe that OSPH will be happy to see. Got my highest rated scalp ever. Also played my longest deuce game ever. Had my first 0-11 game 5 loss ever. Yes it was a good day.

You asked for real video of him playing other peoole...if he provided that on this thread he would be on topic...

He will probably pull out - it is okay.

And yet you wrote somewhere (I think your original post or a response to ttmonster) that your opponents could not have suddenly increased their spin. See the dishonesty at work? Now you are trying to say that the opponent is at a higher level...

We're not letting him "save face", we are just accepting that he is fundamentally dishonest and never going to change. At least, I am speaking for myself.

You said it, Shuki, not me...:p But he didn't want advice... so he has asked the question and made the comment about closing the paddle to... Share brother love? Win a Nobel prize? I feel like looping archo first and asking questions later...

Usually, when you want to just get sympathy, you speak to your girlfriend. When you want problems solved, you talk to your guys. But seriously, there is something insincere about some of your table tennis chit chat - that is how it comes across. When most of us are just having a bad day, we...

Get a girlfriend.

Simply amazing. No wonder FZD thinks PG is the best server in the world.
