I was a fan before, but I am a nut after.

I played Nam twice when I was 1800 or so - won a game I think both times, but the first time, I had an out of body experience and was killing him until I woke up... I lost to Naveen the only time I played him in a tournament I think when I was 1800 or so, though I can't see why you would lose...

I don't think anyone called it "magical" - the main point is that there is a quality of contact which should be found and reproduced. Since I have gotten better at serving, I am not so sure that actual speed doesn't matter - my impression is that there are more efficient ways to produce that...

1. Many people have had the idea, but you can actually test aspects of it at home using Audacity. 2. Yes, it may not. Science has many example of such things. But sometimes, the differences (mostly imprecision) are overhyped and the areas of agreement much downplayed. It's like pointing out...

He clearly went back - he has started pushing from the forehand side with the backhand again.

Am I the only one who thinks this is one of the best matches of the year and forgives "Big Fatty" for wearing his heart in his mouth for the final set?

So I went into the club today to support my students who were playing. An underestimated reason why students have good strokes but play poorly is that they don't have their coaches around to teach them match strategy in real time. The coach who helped me break USATT 2000 often traveled with me...

It is high throw, especially on drives, but compared to T05, it is not as good for spinny looping or as high. The main thing is that both rubbers respond to relatively similar looping technique. The thing though is that I really like T80, so I am thinking that if I had to go to the Evolution...

I was going to warn you but decided it wasn't worth it. I do play with T80 nowadays so I can say that high throw angle is not everything and is actually a negative for me against many players. But MX-P is definitely more of a drive rubber.

I am switching to FX-P.

This was the second stage after many had gone through in the first stage. But yes, those are the things I remember when I think of Lebesson.

When Brett tested the TTEDGE app on players he knew, the ones who had good touch often read the serves easily. The ones with bad touch or who had serve return issues struggled with the serves. And remember, this is on an app. No physical returning of the serves. His tentative conclusion was...

Baal, I linked to a blog post in my initial response that talks about the different harmonic frequencies at which blades vibrate. Because of how this is related to blade stiffness and whether a blade gives me feeling or not, I have assumed for a long time that this is the key to dwell. Carl...

Did you know that Timo and Dima and even a past his prime Jorgen Persson have played in the CSL? And if you did, what do you think that means?

So, Boogar, I figured out what I was looking for and I sent you the TTEdge video on it if you are still a member. You are straightening the arm too early on most of the strokes so I am not seeing good whip at the end of backswing. The end of your backswing should not feel like you just...

The form looks good but something tells me that your arm is still a bit too stiff when swinging and that your grip is too tight. EDIT: The thing about swinging from the shoulder is that it is really more about how much power you transfer from your body into the stroke. IF your loop feels...

So I was late from work to coaching my temp yesterday. When I got there, he was playing a friend of mine who I play with every once in a while who I would estimate at 1700 or so. My temp, to my surprise, beat him. While preparing to coach, my friend said that the biggest change in my temp's...

One of my clubmates wants to join in on my whipping technique. He said that it seems that I always generate sidespin when I whip so where's the topspin? That cracked me up... On a more serious note, what is wrong with what you used when you were here? And one could argue that Korbel is also...

The blades I have in mind for you, though you might not like the head heaviness of the best option: Tibhar Stratus Powerwood Gewo Balance Allround (which is not really Allround)

Do you mean Chinese Off+, which is really European/Japanese OFF-, or do you mean European OFF+, which is Chinese Off+++?
