A Sweden extra is about $45 from the most expensive retailers. Last blade I would consider expensive. I might even go back to it some day.

If you watch the video I posted with the pips penholder, you will actually notice that for that point and many points, I was low with a wide stance and knees bent while looping. So don't let some of practice clips fool you. I know the importance of getting low, especially to make opening...

Carl just put in the dreaded 666 post - DerEchte is envious...

The difference in level is not as large as you think. IT's just that I like to teach, that's all, and it is easier to teach adults when you have an idea in words of what is happening. I just got lucky to be exposed to coaches who could explain to me things that most people have to take for...

Then go make your own thread and chit chat on it about how much you have improved. At some point, not getting the plot makes you a nuisance and you are old enough to be held accountable.

You are talking about quality video or recording long practice sessions. But for self practice, you can simply stick the camera on the other side of the table and even hit back and forth over it with someone. Or you can ask someone to please record two minutes of your practice. Or you can...

As an aside, I also coach. I try to get my students better. It can be an extremely painful process because I am coaching people who play once or twice a week and have lives with family, but who want to play well. All of them have health issues of one kind or another. All of them are over 35...

Archo, other than the fact that none of this discusses *objective* evidence of your improvement, you forget that I have only being playing club table tennis for 5 years. So I still remember when I thought I knew stuff and I really didn't understand jack. Moreover, there are many people that do...

Of course it is possible. What you need to realize is that all of us have different levels of familiarity with Archo personally and with similar personalities throughout our life. First of all, making video is easy and cheap these days. Whether you decide to do it and whether you decide to...

He's about 27/28. Your journey in China is almost ending at that age!

LGL has retired already as as LXX I hear. It will be interesting to see whether and when Ma Long will retire too as I think no one wants to be a victim of the FZD train.

You are a 2000 level chess player. In TT Terms, we can compare what you did to taking a game off a 2400 player - it's good, but bragging about it is not what most people would do. 1 minute chess is like a gamble because people people aren't using their full chess abilities. Now, if you can...

It's probably good for your temperament to have infinite self-esteem, but let's just say that I am not that impressed.

There are so many youtube videos on the internet. XX vs a chopper is always humiliating.

How you like me now?

Mizutani!!! Xu Xin is going to unleash Atomic RP Backhand loop!

Three bad serves and he still won the game! Go, Jun!

Softer may be all you need. Why not just play with the damn thing and stop asking questions that will never get you the answers you need?

I haven't had any issues with it, but I don't seal my blades so I have never thought seriously about the question. Sorry for being unable to really help.

Not necessarily. You can argue with the higher level player in search of the logical answer. What Archo is doing is not uncommon - many smart players do a version of this -you can only get away with it if you have a coach who is of the kind of intellectual temperament that his answers suit...
