haha, When a much better player offers me the chance to do something with him or her for 5 minutes, I always opt for receiving their serves. I guess I am a real oddball of a dude. many a player wants to go macho-man loop to loop and show them they can do it. I know I can do that and I KNOW...

blahness said: You also apparently have no idea about the counterpoints I made. I understood the points fully, it's a common thinking among the older gen. I'm just asking you to take a step back and look at the bigger picture in terms of coaching. Instead of looking at it like some sort of boot...

The remaining one adult I actively coach used to be a reserve youth natl player, but that was in the EIGHTIES... and TT is pretty much an entirely different sport now... He started 1200 California and last weekend had a win vs a 2200 lobber/retriever with all the stars lining up just right. he...

Sergey has a 5 yr break and it took him a while to establish 2100-2200 level... he played 1700ish when he first came back.

Yes, zeio, please do not get me started on recruitment ads... we were terrible in ads even decades ago, but the terrible caught up to those who may join, now we have a pile of Marxist entitled crybaby snowflakes in both lower and upper ranks.

Here... it is.

Gozo, if you were in TT over a decade ago, you would know the famous "PUSHBLOCKER" user on the TT forums... he was a bid dude, moved maybe one step either way, blocked everything with his slippery LPs and 1% of time use a FH. He made a vid in his garage with him doing some practice with WERNER...

Dude, I do not believe you have been alive on planet earth long enough to have seen several generations, so I do not believe you would really know the difference. I do not believe you have had many difficult times where you had to struggle for life, maybe even to stay alive. I do not believe...

25 pairs of rubber (and a free Nexy Blade and uniform tops which we lettered) is what our 5 founding members of Korea foreign TTC got right before I left the country... and none of us were anywhere near international level... 2 of our squad was prolly 2300ish level USATT.

Hi Tony, I do not know personally what it takes to get through everything to become a US marine either, I only did 3 days in the Army. (@UpSideDownCarl gunna have a HUGE laugh at that expression) I do have many friends who served and let me know enough stories for me to have a decent...

Hi Tony, I used the US Marines comparison in a pretty literal fashion in terms of the required determination and effort required to really improve in the sport of TT as an adult who started TT as an adult. The sustained effort one must endure to get to an even average level is enormous... and...

Thanks. I wanted to know for sure before commenting. Most USA clubs are rec center / community center free rent where tables are setup for a couple hrs 1-2x a week and you can do nothing but matches, often there are 5x the number of players than tables and you get on a table, lose, and wait...

Nexy President Moon U.B. had me look over Kim Jung Hoon's 2 yr contract in early 2012 before having him sign it. He was getting low 6 figure Euros (like 200,000) and I do not know about if his apt was paid. KJH a couple years earlier was a KNT national player with a WR near WR30, then he ran...

@FrenchFrog33 is this place a USA full time club open every day with its own facility?

I made sure @Jslick89 and @Chase Bradshaw met up and had a couple minute talk.

Chase was at Citrus Heights Gym tonite with a box of hiz goodies - a number of stunning blades. He handed me the two sets of custom handles for my Persson Power Play blades... one of them he kinda arched it out like the original senso handle pieces. Will be interesting to see how it plays. I...

haha, @IB66 you oughtta see the nick name Next Level hung on me 10 yrs ago and my OOAK forum avitar...

Think, for the price of airfare and some pocket change, you could have a one on one session with USA's No 1 expert on the treatment and usage of H3. After you leave, you with hate MX-P after 2 weeks of use and especially k1 hybrid which is practically anti rubber.

In either event, make your way to Sacramento, Every Mon and Fri night from 5 pm to at least 10 pm, there are 12-24 players and 4 tables at the 1st Slavic Evang Church... and the guy in charge ENSURES that no person is sitting alone not playing unless they demand it that way. You could also meet...

A lot of this is suitability to other players... not a lot of players are gunna go out of their way to play vs players that where they are getting nothing out of the transaction. Sometimes, you run into someone who just wants to help, in this case you are giving something to them, a chance to...
