[Quote=Dude who Gets it} IMHO, given his limitations, he needs to improve his understanding of whip mechanics, where he starts his racket, and his follow through needs to wrap the ball as well [/Quote} NL just laid it out in the simplest terms possible.

@Zezima you are currently where I was a few years ago in this area... it can be greatly improved. You need the timing of ball to strike zone... c=that can be both easy and difficult.

Hi @Zezima I have previously responded here and also on your youtube channel before... If you want to counter an incoming topspin ball some energy coming at you, (spin, speed or both) simply loosen your hand, allow ball to come to you... use a TINY forward stroke with a LOOSE grip on bat...

I see it in person and I will tell you why... you are doing more efficient.

If you do not have club ladies heating up stuff for you... then you can still make your body make heat by drinking water and eating in between events.

In Korea, where the halls in fall and winter are literally 1 degree C, the women of the club setup shop on second floor of the stadium, get a 100 seat allocation... they are constantly boiling hot soup and water... In between events, it does not hurt to drink some tea or hot choco. Eating a hot...

Some people are very sensitive about toes getting cold when sitting down. My advise would be Morino Wool socks. Every country makes some fine ones - they perform well in both high heat and cold. They are more expensive than regular socks by up to 3x, but they are worth it. Morino Wool socks are...

In the cold hall, if you HAVE to sit down for more than a few minutes, understand that the majority of body heat loss leaves from head, armpits, and any open exposed clothes... (Think your neck and man-zone.) Covering those areas when sitting makes a lot of sense. You do not need a ski parka...

Warm you bat up. Really. Cold rubbers do not perform well - not very dynamic when cold. Place it on belly and under arm until it is warm. It is easy to make yourself warm, just explode and move around. The rubber needs more attention.

I assessed my last US Open performance just like that and called it by far my best tourney performance ever. I think I went 4 wins 8 losses and gained very few ratings points, so it looks weak by the W/L measure, but that does not tell the story at all. In such a comp, you play vs 10 players...

Yes @Takkyu_wa_inochi sometimes it is good to measure your match quality in how you perform vs the lower players and upper players. If you defeat ALL lower players 3-0 giving them ZERO chance, and compete strongly, but lose vs upper players, that would be a very strong notable tourney...

Double post hahahah... Everyone practice those nasty hidden serves... you may need to break them out in a match with no umpire where opponent refuses to serve legally.

I can get Aurus to last over 500 hours of play untuned... hahahahahah, someone gunna complain that I do not give enough money to TT equipment makers and somehow call that unfair hahahah.

@MOG if you get 1 hour with me and that setup, you would think much different.

You are a strong candidate for a Primorac Carbon. MANY of the Korean pips players use a fast and stiff blade for their long pips. On loop drives, nearly nothing performs better. On counter shots, tough to beat it too. Still able to do slow opening surprisingly (although it is tougher to do it...

I both praise and cuss @NextLevel preference for choice of blades. There is no singular correct answer in TT and as Dr. Thomas Sowell sez about solutions to a "problem" that there are only trade-offs. (and NL fully understands this concept) NL gets that a lot moar than others. Der_Echte hizz...

Der_Echte gunna hafta run into @Dr Evil in real life sumetime at a big tourney over cheap food and expensive drink.

@NextLevel causing moar trouble than carl or Der_Echte ever did. Book and the prelim discussion is so damned good idea.

@Tyce totally keeping it REAL... WHO is ur daddy he sez. Great epic stuff.

Der_Echte STRONGLY disagrees with Alain's opinion in this matter, but that doesn't by itself make him a troll, it makes him different from me... which I agree is good. @passifid I like a lot of what you post and I am in the same boat (I am often harshly criticizing those who disagree with me)...
