At some point, it makes sense to know who you are talking to so you can determine if such said experience is applicable. And it makes sense for others to know to whom they are taking so they can determine if such said experience is worth listening to, don't you think? Forget the "elitism...

Can you stop posting about other people's technique until you either present yours or you link to videos displaying the precise things you recommend?

Both approaches have value in my experience. The thing is that when you are lower rated, you often don't have the ability to track and adjust for sidespin behind your third ball if the ball has quality. So you need to be able to vary the amount of spin as well as serve without sidespin when...

You didn't play the guy and your strokes are probably worse than his. Post video first before talking.

What happened to Hurricane and Chinese loop? :P Seriously though, T05 is the best thing in the universe. I just can't step back and play with it.

Hahaha... poor Akrasia... Xiom was a good mistake in a way. I tried Omega V Asia because a friend had been pushing it to me for a while. I didn't have a blade to put it on, so I got out my Xiom blade and stuck it there. And then I liked it better than my T05 for what I like to do (play very...

Don't worry, Sebas. IT's okay. Mummy loved you.

RajaLoopah is giving people the wrong impression by being modest - he is a good enough player to use that setup. I mean, I am a good enough player to use that setup, so is Carl. I think passifid had the best and most relevant comment - the guy has told you he wants to have fun with fast set...

I think the preferred LGL plan was for ML and ZJK to play singles and XX to play team with FZD as alternate, according to an article that was posted on mytt. But I haven't seen it repeated anywhere else.

Everything you are saying is true of all players. That's why putting in the hours count. If your main serve is already at a good level in terms of ball trajectory and spin variation (both amount and deception), you may not need more serves per se, but it can help. The main reason I learned so...

Baum has gone through a very tough past two years, especially losing his father, so I am very happy for him with this result. Hopefully, he will regain or even exceed his place as German #3 and make the team more reliable for the Olympics.

IT would be interesting to understand what she means by your serves being above your level. 1) I know what it means in the context of people who generate more spin on their serves than they can play behind and read. 2) Or maybe you would win at least 3 points per game off an opponent who...

The longer you wait to practice, the further behind the eight ball you will be. The hours add up significantly, trust me. Even just one year of intense practice of 10 mins a day can reward a lifetime of play. And the earlier you do it, the better, because as you get more advanced, the quality...

IT's funny that the top players are in Kuwait while the national champs are happening...

Yes, it's a bad habit. I've always justified it by saying that I don't have the time to get in the reps to build the muscles so I need to serve more reps. I think that I do have enough experience with my serves now that I need to get better at making the details work and trying to get better...

Your statement is funny. In other words, Timo Boll doesn't exist, because Timo Boll rarely loops the ball past people. Again, it is all about shot quality. You either back them off the table or force them to loop a falling ball. But at that level, all balls can be counterlooped. As one...

So what would be an aggressive return then? A return that wins the point outright? You still haven't answered the question. What's the opposite or contrary of aggressive? Offensive? Controlled? Defensive? Passive? (Shaking my head puzzled...) IT's not just the spin but the depth of the...

Isn't a topspin return of a serve an aggressive return? Or do you mean you have to kill the serve to be aggressive?

You must have the wrong time stamp cited...

Guys, over analyzing a win in which both players won almost the same number of points but which ended up as a 4-1 victory because one player won the more important points is not going get anyone passage into heaven.
