  1. Any Service Advice for Me?

    If Fazekas is your coach, you are very lucky to have such a high level coach!

  2. Kuwait Open 2016

    BTW, all the same players are in Qatar this week. So we will see if their attitude to anything changes.

  3. Kuwait Open 2016

    IMO, they obviously have merit. The Kuwait Open is not going to make anyone play their best per se. And ZJK had lost so many points in the past year that his seeding needed to be fixed.

  4. Vega pro Blade

    5 out of 5 rating for Vega pro Blade This is one of my two main composite blades, and is the debatably faster one with better feeling for power loops and heavy pushes. I use the blade with Xiom Omega V Asia on both sides. The blades are high quality and come with plastic topsheet coverings...

  5. Fastest limba outer all wood blades

    YEO is not all limba outer. And JM ZLC is not all wood. I think the new Samsonov Force Pro Black edition and various 7ply Clipper variants are contenders. Mizuno Fortius may also contend. The problem is that for fast all wood blades, you need to make the blades thicker and that affects...

    This is one of my two main composite blades, and is the debatably faster one with better feeling for power loops and heavy pushes. I use the blade with Xiom Omega V Asia on both sides. The blades are high quality and come with plastic topsheet coverings that are reusable for the rubber. This...

    That one was different - he was called for illegal serves and he was playing in Japan. ZJK wasn't yet ZJK then either.

    Japan has a fairplay and rule following culture that frowns upon such...

  9. Kuwait Open 2016

    I mean, Samsonov could have won game 1 and won game 4 with the right approach. Tang Peng went up 2-0 on FZD and was tied in the 3rd game before things started falling apart. And some of the shots TP was taking were full commitment shots that are not his usual. Mizutani took SO MANY full...

  10. Kuwait Open 2016

    I have had many such losses before having my best victories. I expect Mizutani to experience the same. The fact that he came back after going down from 10-7 up in the third game and being down 7-9 in the 6th game is in his favor. He just has to do it at the Olympics.

    Come on Dima - don't waste the day - beat ZJK!!!

  12. Kuwait Open 2016

    I was so happy at 10-4 that I am depressed at 10-12. Samsonov put something in the water with the way he played in the 4th game against Ma Long. He showed the template and everyone followed it. But no one has the fitness or temperament to fully execute it.

  15. Kuwait Open 2016

    Wow... the tension is building - 3 match points saved!!! Wow, 4 match points saved!!! Wow, 5 match points saved!!! Wow, 6 match points saved!!! Deuce!

  16. Kuwait Open 2016

    This is the best I have ever seen Mizutani play. It almost brings tears to my eyes to see someone at that level so willing to play against type and to try new things because he wants to win.

  17. Any Service Advice for Me?

    My serving coach has the philosophy that if your serve is slow it gives the opponent time to read the spin and the serve usually bounces high. His preference is for double bounce fast or single bounce fast.

  18. Any Service Advice for Me?

    Thanks - none of the serves were designed to be fast and long. They were all designed to be short, but as fast and spinny as I can execute with double bounce length.

  19. Solo Drills

    Yes, I forgot about floor serves and bed serves. In general, anything that replicates and builds up the motions used for your strokes. Tossing Frisbees for backhand and reverse serving, or even whipping towels to improve the whip action on your strokes.

  20. Solo Drills

    Here is another good practice too - you can build yours: http://g03.a.alicdn.com/kf/HTB12vixIpXXXXakXVXXq6xXFXXXq/-font-b-Tennis-b-font-concentrate-fully-dedicated-device-tee-device-font-b-table-b.jpg I also find ball bouncing and ball control drills fairly helpful for practicing my touch.
