Andy, Saw your latest lesson and I was very impressed by the effects of the shadow training so far on your ease of movement - still work to go but I saw signs of progress. You're actually going to convince me to do more shadow training myself at this rate - I might stay off the table for a...

If this is what you are boosting with, I will just shoot you in the leg before we play. Too much work trying to compete otherwise...

Come on guys, Ma Lin was clearly grocery shopping... wasn't he????:rolleyes:

Unfortunately, my club tournament is that weekend in Philly. Would definitely have planned on making the trip otherwise.

Yes, it is the combination of shotmaking and mobility that is ridiculous. IT's like the players were playing H-O-R-S-E with each other all over the table or "Anything you can do, I can do better".

Try out other people's rubber in your club and see whether there is anything you like or do not like - after testing, then decide whether what you like outweighs what you do not like. No one can tell you what rubber to like from afar on this forum. We will only tell you what we like and do not...

The description is accurate. I believe all high quality rubbers can be adapted to if one is given time to adapt to them. It really comes down to feel and preference. MX-P plays more like Tenergy 05 while MX-S seems directed at that person who likes to use Chinese type rubbers and needs/uses...

When Tenergy was $80, selling it used was a big deal, and Tenergy still has a long enough life cycle that some people buy iy when it is significantly used or don't mind stocking old sheets. I would say it is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it and is not something with a price you...

Another classic internet TT troll (for me, there are six and I will list by initials of one of their many user names though they don't troll everywhere equally - PN, AH, SA, UP/SJ, BM, RA ) made a reappearance recently on another forum and he convinced me that I need to use the easy solution...

Wow, the audience didn't jump and shower the table with gold coins after seeing that rally live? I would have!

You are getting better as a player - don't blame the equipment for your improved play! Let your opponents do that! Unless of course, these posts are an effort to get them started in that direction...

Yes, but the ball is high. In fact, this brings back memories of one of my favorite shots and celebrations.

DTopSpirit, Pnatchwey is a firm believer that since you go against the spin when looping topspin, the situation would be an apples to oranges comparison.

BTW, last off-topic post - today, I told my first coach that I beat Rich DeWitt and he walked over and shook my hand with congratulations. Just to give the uninitiated an idea of who Rich is in US TT circles.

Since you are all my buddies on this website, let me give you a fuller explanation of what happened in that match and my technique. As many of you know, I have bad knees and rheumatoid arthritis as separate, co-incidental and co-operatively destructive phenomena. My style of play was more...

Brett, on TTEdge in the LTT series, after diagnosing your subject's stroke, you usually prescribe an action plan to fix it. While I know this series is more focused on looking at shots, is there any action plan you would prescribe here for Andy?

Oh, PNut calls me wannabe because my first degree is in engineering. And he says I believe in the tension fairy because I agree that speed glue effect rubbers like Tenergy should be correctly called high tension rubbers for trying to replicate the speed glue effect, even if they do not curl up...

Please do - PNut is getting a lot of mileage out of this nonsense and it would end that immediately.

I id use sweat too but the salt is not good for my rubbers so it's purely an emergency thing and I clean the rubbers immediately after the session . My point is how PNut likes to start with the abstract math with little respect for strong factual considerations. The attitude is interesting...

Classic PNut - still trying to apply low grade physics to complicated TT problems. I remember last year that PNUT was trying to explain to haggisv why he should be able to clean his tacky rubbers with sweat using PNUT logic, even though haggisv had specifically ruined a tacky rubber doing that.
