  1. Practice play and game play so far apart!

    By attack, most people mean some form of topspin shot. I (and I am sure corbytoffee would agree) is not asking for the ball to be killed, but just to be played with some form of topspin, whether a roll, as you are advocating, or a good spinny topspin, or a loop drive/drive. Anyone can push a...

    That review was posted on this forum as well in the Reviews section. Paul Drinkhall has also done one.
  4. Sweden Extra

    5 out of 5 rating for Sweden Extra http://www.yasaka.se/products/sweden-extra/ This is a relatively "new" blade by Yasaka (more on "new" later) - I got it by an error of sorts. I wanted a Yasaka Extra and tried to order a pair of blades with the same weight from Megaspin. They told me they had...
  5. Practice play and game play so far apart!

    Let's just say corbytoffee's approach is correct here - pushing long balls is just bad and should not be trained. It's one of those things that people should remain bad at so that they learn to loop quickly.

  7. Choosing New Blade

    Well, try the blades of people you hang around and see what works. IMO, it is hard to play with composite unless you have time to train. Because composite always has subtle behavior that you need to adjust for.

    42andbackpains, Now we know the real reason why you have back pains. Why have more pictures of pretty women appeared on this site in the past few days since you started posting?
  10. Nexy Zealot Review

    I wouldn't be surprised if Zealot is basically Nexy's version of the YEO (with Nexy's originality added), which is not my kind of looping blade.

    The braces are back... was a bad idea to stop using them... I am frustrated by some shoulder tendinitis at the moment. Thanks for the kind words. If you come to Trolley Car, I will hold a party in your honor! I still have to get Len Yang before he gets too good for me to have any hope. He...
  12. Practice play and game play so far apart!

    So, Andy, I looked at your video. First of all, your warmup is much improved from the prior times I have seen - you largely warmed up in this match like a good player and you actually hit a few good forehand topspins in the warm up for your level of experience. Same with the backhand topspin -...

    My approach is different. I tell the student to be willing to miss in practice and to avoid judging their early success on whether they made the shot. It takes a lot for the student to trust this approach so I send them lots of material on how learning really works. Once they commit to doing...

    It well and truly sucks. Doesn't help to have degenerative arthritis either.

    If you are going to use T80FX, only good choice is Innerforce ZLF. The others are too hard.

  19. China Open 2015

    This is Ma Long's personal event. He loves to win in China. No Ma Lin to stop him. The only real alternative IMO is FZD. So my picks are Ma Long and Chen Meng.
