I am gunna so totally opposite and epically REKTt the mind of TTD members and agree with TensorBackhand and even go beyond... some 2000 midwest or east coast USA players can struggle too. (which is 1700-1800 cali corwd) At Russian Church tonite, I had TWO bonafide Cali 1800 level attacking...

Richie, You just earned Hall of Fame for attitude in discerning what is real and what counts, and what doesn't matter as much. TT coaching can be a results oriented business... but it is beyond that. What really counts for adult learners is to see what can work or not and how to grow with...

My shots have significantly higher quality at distance over my good shots at the table, but it is much more energy demanding for a dude almost 60, so i try to stay near the table and make it happen there.

CHASE was in action yesterday in Citrus Heights !!! While he was speaking to a customer, Chase asked him what weight of blade he preferred... this was TTD member @t95mwp ... and of course I had to say he loved 110g+ blades.

Carl, when we were both in our mid to late 40s, you saw me visit NYC, what level I said i was, and what I played... plus what I knew or didn't know... You credited me with vastly under-stating my level or abilities. You have not seen me play much in the last 5-7 years. As a player and a coach...

Hi FF, In 2007, i was in your shoes in the same boat pretty much. One thing to do is LEARN HOW TO SERVE, so your attacks are winners. I was midwest 1400s rates as a recreational player zero coaching and I wanted to get better. (yet there was no TT club within 2 hrs driving) On an east coast...

The father of Korean Pro Jung Young Sik used his J-Pen with an OX on BH side and did exactly what blahness suggests. He would need to figure out HOW he wants to play LPs... Does he want to be at the table and bump with OX and power drive a FH ball that is too "safe" given to him? Hard, stiff...

WORST blade I ever used waz a DHS LONG 5.

If you dislike the Car, the Bank, and the GFs controlling you, slap Aurus Soft on that BH if you want to control the outcome.

05FX if U have the money, the car, the GFs, and good touch.

You have seen me touch it... and also crack the crap outta it with Aurus Soft on the BH of that slower wooden blade... It isn't an bad choice for BH, nor is Donic Bluestorm Z3.

Funny. Yup.

BTW, @Jslick89 waz FH looping consecutive balls vs my chop at the end of league when he had the beat down on hiz Körper...

@JeffM watch out for what J-Slick sez... dude is 56 yrs old and weighs in at 230 lbs (104 kg). Take it with a truckload of salt. He might have been top fit for 40 yrs, but he iz now officially over the hill. Wait a minute, who would that description fit, I wonder who?

YES. I see so many players on serve impact ball one to two feet behind the endline... give opponents way moar time and makes it much harder to land ball on server's endline for the fast/deep serves.

An over-generalization on what is given to and LP player (who makes the shot with LP) and what comes back will likely get you in TROUBLE. There are SO MANY factors going on that affect the in vs out equation. Much will depend on what ball you gave then, what rubber, sponge, and blade they have...

Yes, correctly observed that this is what happens at the pro level and even in sanctioned amateur tourneys the few times there are umpires officiating the match. I will say this... you need NOT WORRY when Der_Echte is on the job. I have zero empathy for illegal serving and do not care what...

Found Sergey Scoobie Doo's bat (Donic Ovtchrv Carbon Senso with K1 rubbers) in the bleachers after league waz over. (He had to leave early due to tweeking hiz knee. I went home and tried to put it up for sale on eBay, but the immediate feedback I got on first attempt was to not even try to sell...

Played a couple matches using my LP thin sponge chopping bat. Gave a lot of fits to the two players I played. It was crazy. One of the players uses a C-Pen with inverted/OX LP... now the shoe was on the other foot for this guy and he had troubles timing my LP bumps, chops, and dead balls. I...

I waz gunna go to LA Open this Year, but Sergey Scoobie Doo has an ailing knee. No mission this year, but likely be at OCTTA Seniors in Oct.
