Happy to hear you are doing well with Aurus Soft on BH !! That rubber does just about everything very well... like a 95 out of 100 on everything. Very versatile rubber that makes most everything easier.

I am glad that you "get it" about sometime using too long motions as default or using excess motion when it is not needed... that having reliable compact strokes is a combat multiplier. SOMETIMES...it CAN be about the arm or the hand... sometimes you just need to get the bat there and do the...

The Koreans will catch this, that I used a really interesting way to express an amount... Ko-Dak-Ji is a piece that is really small. There is a common saying in Korean that if you know just the amount of a Ko-Dak-Ji, that you really know just a very little. This is hilarious by itself when...

Yes... you need to face this often and play vs this. There is a different swing plane and grip and impact for these balls. You need to practice this some by self and a lot live. You will discover that if you get position and leverage, you can really crank these balls. You saw me do this a lot...

ㅋㅋ 내가 아는거... 코딱지 만큼 이다. :D I should know at least a little.

Hey @Jslick89 get with Kirk G... he installed a split A/C unit in Andy's garage and also in his garage (3 car garage he uses only for TT) Split A/C units are very affordable and installation is not too crazy. An 18,000 BTU 22+ SEER rated unit is $1,100 at Home Depot with rebates available as...

In a Korean school, the hire an ex-pro player who will run the TT training program tighter and more ruthless than Marine Corps Boot Camp... all with just some tables and an assigned multi purpose school room. Usually only one coach running it and players train each other and gather/drill/revies...

What she is doing is the standard Korean thing (other nations do it too) for small bouncing to make small adjustment and loading body prep. This helps avoid feet being flat and weight being stopped.

If/when the temps cool I should bring handmade ready to bake 24 hr proof/rise bread dough to bake to eat with butter so hiz family can enjoy. I did that recently with UKR player Vadim.

Speaking of @Jslick89 I have not been going to his TT garage much in the last few months, but it is obvious that the temp here are too hot to mess with TT in a garage at 7 PM in this time of year... unless i wanna lose more weight and health worse than bad sauna.

@Jslick89 saw me in a not so happy mode and a neutral mode in local league tonite in TWO moments. First was right after I lost 13-15 in 5th after so many lets, nets (including one where brother of opponent nearly ran into me at 13-13 to retrieve a ball) (opponent tried to give me a let and I...

This YT channel is about two Korean grade school girls, could be sisters and prolly dad or mom doing the YT channel and posting here on TTD. You never know who is writing... in older days, no one could write or speak worth much in Korea schools... now it is a whole new game and some try to learn...

As for arc... I think high arc shots while you are developing get the ball on the table more... especially when you are focusing on SPIN, which is what all of us should be doing instead of banging the crap outta that sucka. Spin wins. You won't make smashes if out of position and and going for...

I know I am gunna sound like such a Betty bitter baddie saying this, but when a player is developing and uses a TBS and many such modern composite blades, just about every impact feels like it was struck right... it will not tell you. A slower rated blade, even older wood blades, will give you...

YES. This vid is old as sin, but so right. Coach shows very well how to lean into and hop for that cross step... with explosive push off of hitting leg. This power hop works well for a 2 step (balls within a meter so away) and a cross step for those balls 1.5 to 2+ meters away. One day, this...

@dingyibvs We gotta go to Pleasanton and tear up the doubles jokers again sometime. Sounds like now all I gotta do is serve or return and watch you add another point to the scoreboard. You were already doing it on 3rd ball setups...

OC, The Z version plays like med hardness, or at least significantly harder than a soft sponge... and a lot of developing players will not use a harder feeling rubber very well opening vs underspin (unless they are forward loop driving the heck outta it, then it is a good rubber) Consider any...

I described a lot of what is going on about not reading the ball well, but the issue of pissing away points has some other stuff going on. First thing happening is failing to CONTROL DRACULA. What do I mean? Many players see a ball (but do not read it properly and/or do not be in position with...

The bold says a lot about a LOT of players... even those cracking the top 10% of all tourney players do this... a LOT. Some of it is simply not being good. Some of this is inexperience. Some of it is not recognizing what just happened to the ball at impact and immediately in subconscious...

Damn Vikings on attack here !
