So the official rules say: From the start of service until it is struck, the ball shall be above the level of the playing surface and behind the server's end line, and it shall not be hidden from the receiver by the server or his or her doubles partner or by anything they wear or carry. IMO...

I though one has to be behind the table end line when serving - not the side line. Is it actually a legal serve?

How about a resolution for the New Year - keep using MLC for a full year till at least August 2022 ? 🤣

I can highly recommend Victas Ventus Extra - the rebranded TSP Super Ventus - especially for bh. Played with G1 in the past and Super Ventus/Ventus Extra feels like an improvement to me.

Hugo's inability to effectively FH flip short balls on his FH is a huge weakness for a player at that level. IMO, that explains at least some of it.

You're a diehard EJ who attributes far too much importance to equipment which is why you're always ogling other people's equipment and which is why you'll never be satisfied with whatever current setup you've got at any moment in time, that's why.

6 mile runs every other day definitely helps winning that last best of 5 game.

No, they do not. Second serve is clearly a side/heavy underspin, third is heavy side/underspin, and so on.

Just man up and get used to looping with a 55 degree semi-tacky hybrid! After that any rubber will be spinny enough :-)

Could be side topspin as well. Impossible to tell from this view - we cannot see the actual trajectory of the ball after contact.

CNT is thinking about the future. The next generation of players needs as much international playing experience as possible to grow and become even better than ML. So if it takes a couple of losses in contender events, so be it.

I do watch them and prefer the new camera angle to the old.

I do remember that! Just not working out at the moment.

Who are you and what have you done with Simon? 🤣🤣🤣

Sounds like you're only able to "read" the spin on the serve if you recognize the serve action. And so you're having difficulties with the kinds of serves you describe - which have no "clear" spin generation. Ask someone to do different types of serves to you, same serve a few times in a row...

First, stop calling these serves "junk serves". You are after all struggling with them - these so called lower level players might even be serving like that on purpose to exploit your weakness against these serves. Second, when pushing such no-spin serves, try gently contacting the ball on the...

Timo Boll's YouTube channel has some.

Great match! 2021 Estonian Open | Sergei Petrov VS Mikka O'Connor | With Commentary

Try rotating your upper body more when going for a down-the-line fh shot.

+1 for MOG's recommendation. Go with softer thinner rubbers first.
