Those are great questions. 2.0 MX-P weights the same as 2.1 T05. So maybe I could get more spin using MX-P max. Must try this sometime if I can handle the weight ;). It's a bit of a throw and backspin attack thing. While T05 shoots out the ball more, there are those times when you feel...

Exactly - he didn't even try. A friend feels that he could tell ZJK wasn't trying after the first 3 points and that if ZJK was playing Timo Boll or a non-Chinese, he would have played much harder. But I think in any case, it all comes down to the injury.

Wow - this is terrible news for me after I just went back to Tenergy 05... :(

Yes, and that's because losing is a big deal to ML. So the big deal influences how he plays. Like I said, if he lost more often, we would all make a smaller deal out of it, and so would he probably.

I got what he was saying, I was saying that as much as we all called Ma Long a choker and there is evidence of a damaged mental game, it was his consistency elsewhere that brought that upon him. WLQ for example never won a World cup or made an Olympic singles final. But no one would call him a...

I honestly don't know if ZJK is clearly better. It is partly the standards that Ma Long has to live up to that cause that impression, IMO. When you win everywhere else but not the big ones, people call you a choker. But ZJK wasn't winning anywhere else but the big ones and he became a big...

Can anyone even say that Dima played better than Groth in his last two matches vs Ma Long?

People don't get it (not speaking to you, Giangt). JG made the main draw of the German Open. Look at Par Gerrell's blog if you don't see that his loss to Ma Long doesn't mean anything. Ma Long is simply an excellent frontrunner like Federer in his prime. You have to shake him early or you...

Looks like Timo would crush them with his right hand though...

Yes, and footwork last, strokes first, unless the movement and balance is so bad that the person just needs to have their legs broken and refitted.

The best part of this video is having an idea of the ratings of the opposition (many 2200-2600 USATT) and seeing their faces when he wins the point. He reminds me of every time a 1400 or less player plays a shot against me or blocks my killer loop and I am like "Damn, he did that. Effing...

I consider you a buddy so don't read this the wrong way. I don't give two flying Fs about how he plays or whether he has injuries etc. When you learn this game at a certain age, everything is so much harder that people like Der_Echte, Carl and myself and walking miracles. And to get the...

Hey, it's bad form to mock people for venturing their opinions if the mocking rocks them the wrong way so I apologize. Your response just showed a bit of inexperience looking at the games of adult players. Der_Echte's response was appropriate and identified the salient issues. I would venture...

Carl the Necromancer!

Wow, you called me out! That apology was legit - I just wanted to see the photos! How dare you! :mad:;)

I don't know how anything I posted on this thread can be seen as support of either of you guys. But in any case, I thankfully do know sebas's history on other websites so I will not be fooled. Though some other nut cases might be. P-Nutcases.

Pnatchwey, You were the same guy who wrote that ARB was not trolling. That pretty much sums up how seriously your evaluation of people should be taken. NL

Looks like ML and ZJK are in the same half of the draw - I guess Germany wanted a finalist ;).

No, no. Don't mix or vary - just SPIN everything! If the ball is high, spin drive or heavy topspin with precise placement. If the ball is low, heavy topspin. Forget flat strokes. Spin everything. Spin the ball slowly - let your opponent stare at the ball. Most people like you (and I...

I think necax007 who was complaining about your footwork needs to stop using cut and paste... Your movement and athleticism is pretty good and excellent for an amateur adult and it will only improve as your strokes and anticipation gets better. The biggest thing is to play with more spin as...
