Was it a coincidence that DeWitt goes down after NL gets pertinent advice from Der_Echte and PingPongHolic, or did DeWitt have those old age bad day blues given he lost two more matches after the NL stunner? Let the pundits speculate.

Breaking News. NL beat Rich DeWitt 11-9 in the fifth after being down 0-2.

Played a lot of great matches (lost of all them). Lost to Der Echte (he should be called HTS_Man, or High Toss Servy Dude, not BH_Man), Lost to Carl's BH Smashing friend dude (that guy makes me want to bring back my smash game) and lost to PingPongHolic (he plays faster that even the kids I...

Learn to serve different spins then learn to serve with some deception. You can't understand deception unless you can create some of it. And understanding the racket angles and contacts required to return serves is helped by understanding the racket angles and contacts used to create them.

Matt primarily coaches the lefties - the kid is left handed.

Well, while I am joking, let's just say if he had your backhand technique, I wouldn't complain at all when playing him though unfortunately, he is a lefty so it doesn't help me as much as it could. Your backhand technique relies a lot on your physical strength to work.

"Thou shalt have no other blade before me!" says the Loop King. So I shall sneak into New York and cover my head with oil so that I evade the wrath of the might blade... Damn royalty...

He was a T05 user and wanted a T05 substitute. He did try my MX-S and felt that the sponge hardness would be a challenge for his away from the table game where MX-S provides less catapult. He is not the usual penholder if you watch the match - penhold just supports the game he likes to play...

They tend to be louder because of easier topsheet and sponge deformation. Of course, getting to the wood is also easier so it puts certain demands on your technique.

Westchester and Lily Yip are #1 and #2 in some order in terms of facilities. Everyone else lags significantly in some respect - the main reason MDTTC lags is age related - if they had the same people start it today, they would be different. You see something similar in Princeton Pong, though...

Kaizoku, I will repeat myself - get the rubber in 2.0mm. Can anyone tell that the rubber I am using here is 2.0mm MX-S? By the way, my opponent is using MX-P in max on his forehand:

To reduce weight, use 2.0mm. That was my solution for MX-S and it is helps a lot. You only need thick sponge for counterlooping and blocking at the highest levels - the gain at lower levels is not as much as you might think if the sponge is hard. I also have a practice head heavy blade where...

So let me help Pnatchwey by simplifying. For those of us who play a lot of TT and actually spin the ball, we tend to do two things: 1. We test the quality of our looping strokes by taking the ball at heights below the net as this is when looping is most critical (above the net, I may loop...

Trolley Car has the best parking situation but it is not central nor easily train accessible from NY. Lily has the best playing situation and is next to a train station. Parking is usually decent as well. Westfield has a better parking situation but table availability varies as they have...

Ah, I need to take a slow paced yoga class that doesn't kill my knees...

Next time, we have to do this at a train station accessible club not named SpinNY (like Lily Yip or NJTTC), so people can drive without paying tolls through their noses and parking through their asses.

I can place that bet any day. My tournament setups have been fairly stable even with all the tests I have made.

EJing disease - that's the beauty of not playing tournaments - you get to try whatever you want anytime you want it. A tournament player doesn't want to lose and learns not to take that risk.

Me will try me new set up! What time is the club opening? I might need to get out there earlier so I don't lose motivation. I might consider bringing someone was well, though he might not be up for it.

Hmm, why do I have no clue who this is? Actually, I do, since I now realize you train all the lefties. Yeah, his attitude sucks in general so I don't think it is after a while - I think it is just his personality.
