  1. Some Inspiration for Forehand Players

    That's a pretty physical stroke - it would have been better to show the stroke from behind so people can see how low he is and how much power he is getting from his lower body and core. IF you can consistently put that much into your stroke, you should get similar results. Most of us don't...

    By the grip, I meant keeping your wrist hooked ;). But revisit how you hold your paddle as well as that might be influencing it more than you think it does. I have had some success holding the paddle like this - I will make a better video on it sometime like Ben Larcombe's:

    I took the whip off to get the paddle orientation right. If I use whip, my default is to hold the paddle more vertically like Carl. So I am trying to still have the top of the paddle pointing forward largely throughout the serve while having a loose wrist for whip. May post something tomorrow...

    IMHO, for you, it's largely the grip on that forehand. It's set up in a way that gives you good hook but it locks the wrist a bit more than some people think. IF you were a full bodied looping player, you could probably get away with it. What you do with your wrist and what Brett does are not...
  5. Looking for a device for recording training and games

    You paid for the camp so he had better ;).
  6. Looking for a device for recording training and games

    The Camera lens angle on those things is too small so the camera has to be really far back to get a wide angle. This camera more likely doesn't have a flash drive or a micro flash drive either. That's why I prefer my Sony - I can load up on files with reckless abandon.
  7. Looking for a device for recording training and games

    Forehand is looking good. It is only going to get better - just play more over the topspin ball, but even this is a good gap from what you had just a month ago - great progress. Maybe the next time we play, I probably won't be able to let you play forehand third ball.
  8. backhand with forehand side (orthodox grip)

    Yeah, most people who don't like those styles tend to struggle against them. In the end, it's up to the player holding the bat to have skills. Danny Seemiller has an incredibly spinny forehand loop. The kind of thing that you have to block or play against to see how slow and spinny it is.

    I hope people are still playing the App and have downloaded the last updates. The BH module is a nightmare compared to the forehand module.
  10. Looking for a device for recording training and games

    Looks similar to a CX330 - may be a minor difference here and there, but I wouldn't be savvy enough to tell without having seriously compared the cameras.
  11. Looking for a device for recording training and games

    Any of the newer phones/note books from Samsung/Google/Motorola or even an Ipad/I-phone are fine. That said, I use a camcorder. 1) I don't agree on the 60 fps. I do most of my recording at 30 fps and am pretty satisfied with it. If I really need to review something in exquisite detail, I can...
  12. Timo Boll Interview: About 80% of pro's are using illegal rackets

    Like I said, IMO, this makes Timo a liar or at least, someone hiding the complete truth, unless his version is commercially available. I am not a fan of pros using things that are not available to everyone commercially other than blade.
  13. Against spin vs with spin.

    Obviously, but our friend TTFRenzy disagrees and says it depends on the situation and overall ball quality you are looking for. Maybe the problem is thinking about looping in general - not all topspins are loops.
  14. Against spin vs with spin.

    Understood, but you are the first person to tell me that it is easier to push a heavy topspin than to loop a heavy topspin ball.
  15. Timo Boll Interview: About 80% of pro's are using illegal rackets

    The key thing is that if the boosting of Hurricane came with the rubber in packaged, then Timo would be able to purchase it and use it like the Chinese do. He currently cannot.
  16. Timo Boll Interview: About 80% of pro's are using illegal rackets

    So in other word, people are saying that Boll is lying.
  17. Against spin vs with spin.

    Again, we are talking about the same ball. For the same level of spin, find anyone who considers looping a topspin ball harder than chopping a topspin ball or pushing a backspin ball harder than looping a backspin ball. That people prefer to loop backspin instead of topspin is about the spin...
  18. Timo Boll Interview: About 80% of pro's are using illegal rackets

    I don't think you have read Timo Boll's comments. "Ich will nicht behaupten, dass die chinesische Stärke allein auf den Belägen beruht. Sie haben die besten Bedingungen, die meisten Trainer, das meiste Geld. Aber es ist sicher, sie könnten manchen Ball nicht so spielen, wie sie ihn spielen, und...

    How are you sure? Are you saying Timo Boll is lying?
