I have been USATT 1950-2050 for over a year now through style changes and worsening health. The video is one game in one match - draw from it whatever conclusions you may. I posted it in part because it was so anomalous compared to how I usually play and i wanted to see how people would...

Inevitable but it isn't always as straightforward as you think. Alex Polyakov played his best tournament ever after having hardly had sufficient time to train for it. People underestimate the impact of improved cognitive reads when you have good technique. So they don't realize how hard it is...

IF you want to replace T05 and you like hard sponge, use O5 Asia. MX-S throws too low. Tenergy 05 is just an amazing rubber. Too amazing for me I must admit since I like harder sponge.

The level for that is USATT 1600. Above USATT 1800, if you don't have shots, you will be picking up the ball most of the time. IT's what you do to people that makes them feel the pressure of attacking and missing.

I didn't say join ttedge, I Said get the TTEdge app (if you have a smart phone, search for "Table Tennis Edge" in your app store and down load it, then pay the $5 to get the full version). If you do this very soon, you will thank me for years to come. I don't need the thanks, but you need the...

MY friend, you are too smart not to get faster with experience. Keep plugging away, get and pay for the TTEdge App asap as it will be a fantastic investment come the month of April, and keep working at it.

What is really insulting is the pretense of expertise. When are you posting video of your 2400+ play? Can you give a rating estimate of yourself so we know what to look forward to? Any ranking system will do.

The sample size is small enough that many bad conclusions can be drawn from it. And it is okay to say that. I was actually frustrate in part because I was missing shots that I usually make. To call that level inappropriate is exactly the issue - you have no clue what is possible at a certain...

Well, here is me beating a career 2200 player. Maybe it will give you a better appreciation of my third ball game and make you think over whether my shorts are level inappropriate or not.

Ahhh, Parviz - great guy. He used to be much higher when he was younger. You are lucky to have such good players at your club.

So in other words, missing a shot makes it not level appropriate? I mean, you admit to have never developed a player before so it is okay to speak about something you have no clue about as if you are an expert. Then you start talking about how you have made players look like USATT 2000. USATT...

TTR 1500-1700 is about where a USATT 2000 player would be. One mistake people make when watching me play is to underestimate the amount of cognitive processing that goes into my play because they focus on what they can see and are too naive to see what is also possible to see if they had the...

You may have been considering these concepts over the past few months, but you were also the person questioning someone's post on Carl's thread where he posted his videos when he wrote that he plays conservatively and tries not to end the point. It's interesting that you couldn't see that he was...

Archosaurus, Good to see that the facade is finally fading away. Cheers, NL

I do have freakishly long arms but it is a technique itself. People just spend so much time thinking about the body and the knees etc. that they don't try to figure out what the arm can do. I have no knees so my thing is figuring out how much you can get from the arm - arthritis might ruin my...

Nah. This is different. I didn't even plan to put this blade together. I just did it by accident and it felt right. Then I realized that I had changed my grip so much that it wasn't going to work with straight handles anymore so I went FL this week. 90% of my blades are straight and I may...

I have a lot of blades for sale if anyone is interested. I have found my ideal combo and I am going to stick with it for a long time so everything else I have is for sale.

After playing with ST handles for most of my TT career, I changed my grip and can suddenly see the value in FL handle and can't use straight handles as comfortably anymore.

Hahaha - not sure what Carl is trying to prove here - these are obviously good players even if you don't know who they are. As long as you are not looking at the wrong things. In my match, someone said the estimate for the players would be 1200 and I wanted to see what others would actually say.
