... or get MUDDY.

Aruna, you might need to get T-Boned.

I cannot with conscience believe this thread actually was legit started and lasted this long. Anyone can figure this simple stuff out on their own with only a tiny effort and research.

I coach (or have coached) at one of those Bay Area clubs where the head coach keeps all the players in a closed loop U150 or U300 or U450 until they are legit 1600-1800 and unleashed on the big natl tourneys like US Open or nationals... but they gotta go through 4-6 of those ringers too...

Another adjustment waz to attack BEFORE Der_Echte... and that is in general a pretty damn good policy.

J-Slick wanted it so damn bad you could see it and even Stevie Wonder could see J-Slick put hiz-self in a position to threaten Der_Echte. Any competent person watching could see J-Slick being brave and also adjusting during the match. One of J-Slick's adjustments was to stay the F away from...

(Woody Woodpecker laughing voice) Yup, it doesn't help none when Der_Echte is a tryin' to be 1500 in that league... :D

P-Terrrrrrrrrrrrrr pgpgpgpgpgpgpgpgpgpgpg !!! I missed you on my last mission !

TROUBLE MAKER YOU !!! Yes, J-Slick caused me sum trouble in league, the score in games deceiving, he really adjusted and was close to winning every game. I think I would cause Brian more trouble than you J-Slick. For the record, J-Slick returned 10 of my heavy shots that would normally...

The next level of all this (pun intended and un-intended) is that the bottom and middle levels play many levels better than they were before... but their ratings are mostly the same, since the entire field for the most part is better. A significant chunk of Cali 1500 level players are now...

The generation of ABS ball since 3-4 yrs ago is a big cause of nearly everyone (who is training or competing a lot) for getting better. WHY? This gen of ABS ball makes it WAY EASIER to hit through spin (with or without pace) or spin vs spin. NEVER or rarely with any acceptable consistency...

Many people thought Boll waz gunna retire after 2008, when speed glue ban ended... not like Timo needed glue to pound it, he never did... but his spin play and his defense/counter-offense greatly suffered at that point... which prompted many to think top level play for Timo was over... but he...

Played 8 hrs at a gym today. Haven't eaten in 24 hrs. Weight is down 34 lbs since early February. Gunna get 8 hrs sleep tonite and Fri with a nap. Gunna drink good water. Might eat heavy tonite and a good breakfast before my next 16 hr fast.

I went to a Giant Round Robin and ended up being only 3 players in the group stage 1 and also stage two had 3 players. Played 4 matches won group stage 1 and went 0-2 in stage two both games 5 sets felt real disappointed with my performance but I know it is from not playing enough singles...

I verify that Carl has a lot of stuff going on in his world... and that he serves as Admin pretty much and purely out of love for TT and to expand TT... not that Carl needs anyone to verify anything. It would be so good just to drop in and be trouble making, but the local world and his...

T05 overall plays a little harder and needs a stronger impact to get everything out of it. It is a totally different animal from Aurus, which is simply a rubber that makes it easier to do all your shots and a good top end on well struck balls. T05FX and Aurus soft are much more alike than you...

FX-P is a control oriented offensive rubber. Although rated at FX softness, it plays more like 44-45 degree. Any level of player could succeed with FX-P. You simply land your shots with good spin and do not miss. Aurus Soft plays 42-43 degrees. Can loop anything. Very controllable. Plays all...

I could write a book, but you would be lucky to remember two things. 1. You stand upright like a statue. Easy to say get hips down some, not as easy to develop the habit. 2. vs this opponent, when you hit fast shots, they all seem to come back. Slow down the pace and make it real heavy spin...

In 2020 during a sanctioned tourney, my opponent gave me what looked like a half long ball near the corner... i really got down and made an explosive stroke... ended up banging the lower wrist and bat into endline 4 cm from corner... ouch. I was still holding the leftover handle. My...

I have heard and seen a LOT this last one year that a replacement bat must be the exact make model for both blade and rubber. I challenge anyone to show me the current ITTF laws of TT, the ITTF match officials guidebook, the ITTF FAQ, the ITTF Umpire prep book, the T9, or any other ITTF doc...
