Once you like your blade, you can put pretty much anything on it. The Primorac is one of the most popular blades in the world. I just don't like it.

In fact, I know a couple of long pips players who always propose a seamed ball when playing at the league, even though the league ball is seamless.

Hmm - maybe I should have served your BH more often - I just don't remember it that way. The biggest reason I recommend BH work is that you often (opportuned to or not ) your BH earlier in the point than your FH as a general rule (not talking about you specifically). And the earlier you have...

This is something you can't divine before the fact. If you don't like the blade, get a new one. But if you like the blade, it tends to go well with any popular rubber. Don't let the fact I hate butterfly all wood blades make you think I am too biased :p.

And anyone who reads the last post and figures it out, you can pay me when you see me ;).

Since you liked the videos, let me point you to the ultimate source of super backhand power. Look at the elbow crank that both Fan Zhendong and William Henzell are seen executing in the backhand flick videos. Once you master that crank, you have two forehands because you will figure out how to...

You were crystal clear. I have been saying the same thing you said and trying to talk him out of it, but he doesn't GAS what I write.

IT's largely technique. Anyone can do it if they understand how and try and stay relaxed:

Guys, he wanted some handle rattling to have a beat to his love tapping... seriously, I have to try this mode on one of my rejects sometime.

One kid I played, he cried after he played me because I kept serving the ball to where he couldn't reach it. Of course, since then, he has not let me beat him despite the persistent ratings disparity, though I haven't played him in a while. Another kid, I kept backhand looping the ball with...

Nah - I use too many dirty tricks already - look at all the kids I beat up on - Benjamin was the sole survivor. No spin serves, pushing to their backhands, baiting them to serve to my backhand, keeping the ball short because they can't reach over the table... I have to have a limit to how low...

Saw Abe there as well - he won the U1750 the day before. Don't know how he did on Sunday but his lefty game must have taken some prisoners. Beast modes blades eat all competitors.

I went to Westchester to take down the goon squad younglings. Went 4-1 against them. Lost to some kid who is no longer as small as he used to be with the initials BZ. I am going to get that lefty kid sometime soon, I promise!

I tried but personality trumps reason in these circumstances.

You are really a small man. You really want to delude yourself that you can loop better than I can? Go ahead. There are lunatics everywhere.

You talking about me? I broke 2000 with Big Dipper on my backhand!

The reviews of MX-S on that are a little deceptive. What they mean is that MX-S rewards prolonged contact and acceleration. It's actually a pretty demanding rubber to use and requires/rewards larger strokes which can be done with wrist action. Just using the wrist largely in isolation on...

If you have a real forehand, you are going to reverse those rubbers at some point. Baracuda is grippy enough for any ball, plastic, cell or even foot, basket, base and golf.

He is still a French player. The current national coaching staff is just reluctant to call him up for team events, that's all. It may affect other things, but he is still the National champion even if not #1 rated.

Gotta disagree. I think you are right that the topsheet could be better, but it is more than good enough to compete and small changes can be made if necessary without changing the rubber.
