As for this opponent's serve... hugely clearly ILLEGAL. He moves ball and hand upwards, then lets go of ball... the ball is projected upwards maximum 1-2 inches. This is so damn easy to make variety of serve difficult to discern. much more difficult to project ball upwards minimum 6 inches to...

Hi Wrighty, I looked at the vid of the one game shown. (I am like Ghosten want to see the whole match) Where your opponent looped slow and heavy... and where you tried to counter it... most of the time the ball landed way more shallow (closer to the net on your side first bounce) than you...

You try to take off the glue from the rubber and you will likely ruin the sponge. Just let it sit overnight and it will likely look a lot better.

There was a USA sanctioned tourney a decade ago where my opponent served illegally, I complained to TD and got an umpire... and I still lost the match. All I could do was shake opponent's hand after the match, say good match, accept my loss and move on. I could say I felt better exercising my...

Oh... sometimes a TD will NOT assign an umpire to the match after you complain... of course you could and should write a letter to the USATT CEO explaining the circumstances and events... ... but you still have a match to play. If opponent STILL serves illegally and blatantly... then you should...

Here is what I advise for illegal servers in USA sanctioned tourneys. Everything flows from knowing the laws of table tennis and the tourney organization. Step one: on the first illegal serve, do not attempt to receive it, hold up non playing hand and say LET. Tell player their serve was...

That could be one way to get into quick trouble. Not every point in TT needs to be won with a domineering attacking shot. Yes, true. I always try to articulate that generating power is a sequence of timed explosions creating, amplifying, and delivering kinetic energy. Hey Big D, I should...

This is good to consider. Different coaches have different opinions on this. (use of the off hand on the BH stroke) Some say to use for balance and recovery. Some say to project off hand outward with stroke to provide extra leverage and force delivery. Personally, I am more on the use for...

The cheapest way is to open a business, then a business account with the web storefront provider (Shopify, eBay, etc) that has discount plans with USPS and UPS. Of course, you are not ready for business, so pay full retail for a few ounces. The cost to maintain such an account is many times...

Would the forum and the Sac metro area revolt if I issue @Jslick89 the nickname of Mad Dog Monterey Meanie ???

Haha Tony... there was a young Indian youth, a new player (maybe trained 3-4 months) in LDM7's group last tourney... this kid did not have topspin fundamentals yet... and he lost easily to LDM7... but this kid CRAVED to develop a playstyle like Adam B's snake shots. I told his father the kid...

Rebrand J-Slick'd moniker to include Monterey Meanie :D Der_Echte is pretty much the same thinking... if they put on a uniform and showed up, then that indicates they are an opposing warrior able and willing to fight vs you. No need to demean anyone while we do it, just win points, games, and...

@Ultravisitor might have visited Pimp My Blade forum before... :D

You can ask here or go to OOAK forum and ask who the heck is @haggisv :D

There are two people in the world to ask this to... Megha Kambrath (an American/India femal vet player go figure) of Hegagis hizzself @haggisv

We got a basket case here in this quote (not l0odro's) and lodro could use some white wine to go along with that fish.

Of course if ITTF finds a way to get Joo Sae Hyuk back into sport (and coach on natl level later) NONE of this will matter as ANY random rally vs a top offensive player results in EVERY human in the stadium on their feet going wild crazzzzzay ooh aah cheering literally every rally past 3 balls.

NONE of that is gunna happen until ITTF pays professional umpires a professional wage... as it is they are essentially volunteer forces. ITTF umpires make not even peanuts for pay. Umpires paid well will make consistent and proper calls, but that is not gunna happen in my lifetime or ur's. Of...

@PenHoldSandro I would say any of the Spinlord WARREN series... but anyone who has been on the internet forums KNOWS they outta ask DeHaggis the @haggisv and while U at it, you oughta also ask the man why he like Haggis. There is a special good reason why than man may know, He is Haggisv, he...
