So many people in the past had the idea to do a BH that involved pivoting on the shoulder joint to use the upper arm and move that sucker all around thinking it gave them a longer lever and more leverage... that is so far from efficient biomechanics, but for decades, it was simply accepted as...

I have always been very public that Der_Echte is not good enough to use modern T05 on 98 percent of blades, and absolutely does not have the impact to properly use any Diginiski rubber. If OP wants a rubber with gears that lasts forever, has ease of making spin or hit... a clear choice is...

Hi Wrighty, I see a few things. The times it looked like you were trying to go cross court on your BH... you started with the hips and body squared towards the short side line direction or the middle T, instead of cross court. So when the ball comes to your natural strike zone, and you try...

Hi Wrighty, Pop a quick vid here or on vid safe thread. I have an idea or two what you are doing to result in this, but I would like to see your shot in action before I say anything. I would want to say it is how you are setting the strike zone/leverage (stance and arm/elbow position) and...

Hi TB, I was just at US Open and drove back 400+ miles, so no time soon. I think a lot of my TT crew is gunna want to play in San Diego Open 2024, which should be late April or early May I think. Might be 4-6 of us going there then do the Meiklejohn Seniors tourney the next week. it is very...

One of my TT goals in 2024 is the take one of the dudes I train (Ali) with me... and after one of the weekends I coach at San Ramon get @dingyibvs to meetup and go along with us on a Thunder Run to TTA, ICC, and Swan... causing trouble everywhere.

Der_Echte tends to advocate for such progressive little by little development of a shot where there are many moving pieces. Adults have a very hard time trying to get complicated process right by trying to do all the new steps at the same time when they haven't gotten down timing and...

Hey Dan, One of my TT goals for 2024 or some point would be to drop in on Dan's TT... get him to come along with me on a Thunder Run of TT clubs... (that is a powerful round of visiting) ... and when I enter the club first with Dan and any accompanying people... I will shout out loud...

Hey J-Slick, You can sneeze and get that many points this year. I think I donated away that many points in 2023. You are not gunna get the next two hundred in the way you stated, maybe some of it be the serve return, but it isn't gunna account for the next 200 you get in level... but you can...

My suggestion would be similar to TTS's good idea. Get a cheep sheet or three of H3... slobber sum baby oil on the sponge... leave it on a few days... that sponge will be 2-3 degrees softer - just right. The topsheet is already tacky and slow... So now you have a soft, control FH rubber that...

I have a friend in Finland who was SH player, prolly around 2000-2100+ level for starters... he got a wrist injury and could not rotate arm/wrist very well when he was in rehab phase... but the forward hinge/swing with RPB gave him no pain, so he went PH and used RPB to flip... a very natural...

You want control oriented OFF rubber, then Aurus Soft and those in its category. You want it to be easier to make spin, then T05FX.

Before anyone cancels me on media, what I wrote was highly complimentary of TTS's recent improvement and performance.

TTS, that sounds like sum seriously gute Scheize.

U sound a LOT liike Tiger NL :D

@dingyibvs that is why you make the BIG bucks. :D

Good luck MOG, exceed the Mass Annihilation Unit, the Spartan, or the Mandalorian.

Aurus and Aurus soft seem to last and play/perform FOREVER. I get rid of them after 300 hours, but they can certainly go 600 hrs. Aurus Soft is a 42 degree +/- feeling sponged control oriented offensive rubber that makes it easy to do just about every shot... which means it has CONTROL. You...

Allround Offensive control oriented rubbers let you hit harder and still land it, often with great spin. That is why I like that category of rubber and why I use Aurus Soft on BH. I use a slower OFF Minus all wood blade and that slower Aurus Soft rubber... but it is not slow and I can spin it...

FX-D will play harder than its rated hardness. Yiou can really crack it with FX-D. FX-P also plays slightly harder than its rated softness, but is an outstanding allround offensive oriented control rubber.
