Rich can loop before the match starts. The only way you look own how someone will play you is by playing them.

I have played him 4 times I think with this match. I know his style. He is a young and powerful looper who puts too little value in consistency. It wasn't a strategy. I had already played three matches. I was warmed up. I was not in the mood to be picking up balls for someone else who would...

A kid that has a funky all round game with a very heavy push that I used to miss read. He used to push (or really chop) my no spin serves and I couldn't open on them given how I was reading them. I think where we played constrained his game a little. If we had played in the main hall, I would...

By the way, the beginning of this video is an example of how I deal with someone who doesn't want to use warm up strokes to warm up in a tournament match.

I love it. So many learners get bored with the basics so they try to complicate the basics to keep their interest. Siva the Jugaadu, for all your mastery of Jugaad, self-hitting is recommended so you can focus on what is important and stop dealing with variables like moving, tracking the ball...

Played Westchester today and played a lot of fun table tennis. Still need to do some work to set up my attack better and I also have to do work on my pushes. The actual attack itself is satisfying more often than not and I think setting it up is what I have to work harder on. OR just learning...

I think I actually have come across someone making such a suggestion in an academic context, but that is neither here nor there for me. Group statistics do not predict individual behavior.

Then delete your response and stop trying to one up someone based on your inability to grasp his point. Edit: I should go to sleep, ignore this post.

I think the claim that genetics has *nothing* to do with addiction is a very bold claim, ttmonster. Alcoholism had an abuse and social dimension as well. Just taking a drug on a regular basis is not quite the same as being an addict.

That review is the kind of thing that makes me hate reviews without a player's style and level next to the review. Claiming that the arc of MX-S or MX-P is higher than EL-S can only be true if power looping at high speeds with deep contact.

Let me guess - you are in the Czech Republic?

I will sweeten the offer with $100.

Not special but yes, you could defeat an IM or Candidate Master if they had a bad day or blundered. And not many people use the word patzer - initially, I thought it was because you were German, but it's good to know the chess connection. Cheers.

Sure. I know what it is like to live a private life when all your videos are on Youtube and you make specific claims about yourself. It has a limited shelf life. In any case, I can't norm the chess ratings on Chess.com vs actual play but you are only in the 1700s or 1800s on chess.com. What...

Siva, The thing is that you once showed video of a player who used to be on the junior national team of some country, and all of us could tell by watching him that either that country sucked or he bribed his way onto that team. If someone told you he was an IM or a candidate master, it would...

Verification purposes. Would you like to play a game of chess online? I don't know any free servers anymore but we could schedule something on Yahoo or something. BTW, I am probably one of the few people that relatively speaking like the original video. I don't think anyone who could produce...

What is the name of the International Master you defeated?

I have reasons to believe that a Tenergy 05 user will not like it because they will often need larger strokes than they are used to. IF they don't mind this, they might find something they like. But the rubber should be considered in its own right. The sponge effect is different.

Speed not sure - more work to be done there. The top end slow spin is definitely comparable. In fact, controlled looping is probably the biggest strength of the rubber. IF you can sustain the top end looping speed, and I don't think it is too hard to do so with good technique, you will be...

Nah. The sponge is different. Also the grip of EL-S so far is massive. Vs. Tenergy 05, the control is better if the catapult of T05 throws you off. EL-S is almost like a boosted Sriver, as one guy put it. The spin is ridiculous when you loop properly - I get the same effect I get when I...
