It is. The problem is that when you do, you are still over the table and are vulnerable to a fast block. If the serve is low, the height you have to generate to get the ball over interferes with how hard you can spin the ball. Also, the backspin forces a shot that that clearly has a topspin...

I was actually referring to the blade, but I see now what the blade is called ARB. Did you take a class in business or trade school recently? Testing some sales techniques on the internet to see the power of positive thinking?

Well, what leagues have you played in? What is your tournament record? If you can't answer those questions, you are not as long standing a player as anyone. Maybe at the basement level, but that is not the level most players here are interested in.

Yes. I actually look more like a conventional player than I did a year ago. A year ago, it was backhand serve, backhand loop, backhand smash, backhand block, forehand only for stray balls, hard third balls and necessary shots. I did a lot of forehand work to balance out my game. But I try...

Ditto - in fact, where have I seen the idea of writing about a process to rebuild one's forehand before... oh, I remember reading about it here: http://ooakforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=58&t=27371 It's very easy for people to look at what I do and assume that I don't know my flaws. But I do - I...

Der_Echte, You post too much common sense. Way too much. For this ARB joker, that ship set sail a long time ago. I will say this for a fact - no one who plays high level TT will underestimate the challenge of coming to a forum to convince experienced players, especially ones like those who...

So you come here without any evidence whatsoever of how your blade plays other than pictures and words, make claims about how great it is, and you expect that people will treat you with respect and aren't ready to accept that longstanding experienced players will find things you say somewhat...

But you quoted and responded to an earlier post of his - how could that have been his first contact with you?

Next time, I will secretly leave the camera on all the time and see what DerEchte does... As for the comments about my issues with OX pips players, anyone can read between the lines and see that DerEchte plays 2000 pips players like he is a 2200 player. I play all styles like I am a 2000...

Please let us know your level of play. And please quote whatever I missed on this grip.

Anthony Brown gets an A for conviction but an F for TT understanding. The biggest problem with the success of something like this is that it will struggle to get traction outside of the evolutionary chain of grips as the most tried and proven ways of getting to the top of the table tennis food...

I have labelled all the videos now. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...oGJAH4vL7H1NUP

Okay, my post before the videos. Der_Echte, I have learned from personal experience on both sides of the coin never to take credit for my opponent's misses and you clearly were off throughout the match and as Carl pointed out, you had explained to me quite a bit about how your serves worked...

Hey, guys, sorry I have been out of commission. Still slightly am. Stuck in my club at the moment trying to catch a nap if you can believe it... I have uploaded the videos and made them public as well as the play list containing the videos. If you want to post there here (i can't do so until...

The opponent was 200 pts higher and had beaten world #50 Quadri Aruna three weeks before this tournament. But let us look at how another player handled the same serve - that might give us a clue on what to do.

Here is an example of a 2500 player struggling with a topspin serve, usually short, but in a variety of locations. The penholder is almost always serving topspin.

Its actually far more neutral than you might think. I switched to something very similar recently. We can discuss later today.

After looking at this closely, I think this is Fang Bo's grip period. I don't think he switches as much as other players between FH and BH.

Yeah - I will not be fooled by your attempts to sandbag. Even with cocaine in your system, your military training gives you access to things the Goon Squad can't comprehend yet.
