The return of the ball slapper!!!! We have missed you. Men, those people must be crazy to get autographs from a ball slapper - if only they knew...:p

Sorry, but I like putting heavy topspin on the ball. And that is never going to change.

I like putting heavy topspin on the ball!!!

So why is there a Nexy blade in your signature? Doing some advertising for NexyUSA, are you Carl? The goon squad is coming for you if you are not using that blade and it is in your equipment along with the perfect blade for you...

I don't think he did either of those things though I hear that some posters (I don't know their names) will never forgive him because he supported the two color rule.

Because you "rev"-er his multitudinous contributions to US Table tennis that have placed him in the hall of fame. That's pretty obvious.

Larry Hodges actually saved TT and is now one of the best and most informed bloggers on the internet. So true.

"but i laike putting hevvy topspin on da ball!!!"

This is the greatest TT VIDEO of ALL TIME! ROFLMAO!

Carl, It is likely that only two players will be eligible to go for the qualifiers anyways. IF they are lucky, 3, like the Baku European or the Panam games. My guess right now is that ML and XX are the leaders in the singles. FZD will likely be third wheel. ZJK has a lot to prove.

You have about 5-6 *fulltime* clubs within an hour to an hour and a half from each other. All serious training centers. The TT is much better than what you had. 1. MDTTC, Gaithersburg 2. Club Joola, Rockville 3. SmashTT, Arlington 4. Hartford County TTC I can't remember the last one or two...

Yes, at high speeds when loop driving I agree. I wrote somewhere else as much - when you have a good stroke, all that changes when you loop drive is the ball trajectory and the speed of impact at which bottoming out occurs. But for me, looping is about heavy topspin. Loop driving I consider a...

A player does create the arc when placing the ball - there are ways to loop with Tenergy 05 with low arc. What you mean is that for the same type of loop, different rubbers respond differently, and that is what I meant when quoting Paul Drinkhall.

Don't worry about Andy - he will be fine and is just impatient. He has a really good coach who is just going through the logical progression of understanding his student before tailoring his lessons. His latest practice session bears that out.

You should have stopped at my Club. I played so badly today that you would probably have bageled me.

I think I will quote a high level player (Paul Drinkhall) who was comparing MX-P and MX-S: The last part is the most relevant - we all do this a little differently to each other. For your contact point and technique, you may create a different effect with Tenergy 05 than I do. Here is...

"Rambling" came from Carl, not me. I blame Carl. Where is Carl to take the blame when you need him? BTW, I have no original thought on TT - I just take what other people have told me and try to make it sound like I understand it, which in my mind is writing 10 pages on it because 1 page can...

Finally, we can see that there is a bug going round. Der Echte knows how to infect people with his rambling style. Now I know why Carl posts so much. And 42andbackpains as well. Der Echte got them. NL knows it now.

One last comment - there are high level players with relatively bad backspin games. The ones who got lucky that their opponents loop the first push from them so they never have to really push, or the ones who are good at countering topspin and never really played someone with a good backspin...

I will say this confidently - you will not beat me pushing a majority of my serves long, and if they are long serves, you will push them long if you push them. Ultimately, these recommendations depend on what ultimate rating you are aiming for and how often you want to have to reconstruct your...
