The match was close enough that he still has to go up another level to do that.

I am testing Nexy Karis M+ and will soon be testing Nexy Karis M as well. Very consistent rubber so far - doesn't seem to have the easy spin of softer topsheets and one playing partner felt it was a major drop off from Tenergy. But I felt that the consistency of the shots and the directness of...

I've found all the fingers to be very important for how I loop - there are times when there is more pressure in the thumb and long finger, but there are times when I get whip from the two smallest fingers. So for me, getting used to the feel of the handle matters a lot as when I change, I lose...

Boogar, the right question to ask is what is the level of the opposition. The Kid is 2200+. If you watch the match, you will see that I lost the rallies as well as the shorter points. As Carl said, Tareq is a troll, don't take him seriously. My point is to show how shallow his comments are...

The hardest part is getting started. Once you get started, you will be surprised how much you improve if you put in the hours - I think 3 at most. It is nothing close to as hard as the backspin catcher, for example.

Yes, it is. Whether you win or lose, your technique will be easy to see for any experienced player. I can post even my worst losses and you can see my technique. Below is my worst loss from a tournament two weeks ago.

I think the haircut was the best part of the videos. The actual strokes... let's just say that while it's clear you put in a lot of work, there is a lot of stuff to work on and it is necessary to record yourself and get more frequent feedback so that things don't go offtrack.

Progress faster? LOL. Who are you watching? The thing about this sport is that even with technical improvement, you might still not win matches. My rating was 2062 in January 2015. It is 1970 or so in November 2016. Just about everyone who watches me then and watches me now will call my...

Don't fall for false Archo modesty. After telling us for the past few months how much better he had gotten, do you really think he felt he hadn't improved at all?

Don't do it.

You could also watch any short pips penholder obviously but he is just one that comes to mind. There is a huge emphasis for how the wrist starts and a massive acceleration towards the ball and through it. It's easier for them to kill backspin. They can smash topspin too, but since short pips...

suds79, A lot of your short pips technique looks like it is modified inverted technique and not technique actually based a close study of short pips penholders. You don't seem to commit to either smashing or spinning and even the smashes are not sharp. Maybe you could watch your favorite HZW...

He serves it a lot, you just don't see the full trajectory of the ball.

When it is live I can watch it. But I can't watch the replays.

I was going to make fun of this thread before you posted. Oh well... Usually, the first thing any serious player with a table does is practice serves. But of course, OP wants to challenge us to a duel of self hitting targets. Seriously? He probably can't even serve backspin.

Played a tournament today. Got there late because my car didn't start as the battery had worn down. When I got there, I found out that they had put the girl who beat me on Tuesday in my RR for the U2350. Her and a guy now in college who I don't think I have beaten in almost a year now. Oh...

Archo, fwiw I perfectly understood what you meant by jackoff. Intellectual masturbators know that feeling too well. But doing it over stuff that you have lost all credibility on is dangerous.

Or ML is a choker...
