I had a painful partial tear... I bought a shoulder far infared device to wear on my shoulder... it stimulated more blood flow, felt better in 2-3 weeks... then when it felt good enough, I started to do certain stretches from a guide on an ortho site... did those very easy and carefully... then...

You could buy direct from the big sellers like Paddle Palace and Joola... but there are other ways. Look for 4 star tourneys... they use all new tables... and SELL them after the tourney. You will get a great tourney table for 1/2 price and in a very new condition. Another way is to look for...

Ratings came out and I lost 80 points from my bad matches and got zero for my great match. I expect another tourney or two with mixed results and ratings drop... but by the time the LA Open in August or Oct OCTTA Seniors tourneys roll around, the locals are gunna hate or love me... hate me for...

TensorBH... it is because you do not know the secret handshake.... and even if you got those magical other versions, Carl would have to save your azz from the Goon Squad pursuing you. :D

Yes, and we did it until a moment ago without any help from the Goon Squad. Amazing.

Well, not nearly as wild as when the Goon Squad tries to corner you and we remotely piss all over them or drop them through the remote controlled trap door to you Krackhopuse #13 basement septic tank for a week's stay with the London sewer rats or when you lure them to your drop zone with your...

My webstore is defunct and our LLC dissolved, I am officially out of business. I invested in a bunch of Donic uniforms recently. But you can check out Sergey's team all decked out in the TIGER in the CDNF tourney action...

ttmonster, You gunna do 888 Championships this fall? I will be doing the LA Open this fall I think, as well as the OCTTA Seniors in Oct.

I remember some years back that somebody got Schlager to comment on about.com Table Tennis Forum... and Schlager's posting history was pretty damn short... because as soon as Schlager started to talk sensible stuff on the forum, out came the 1000-1500 armchair coach champions trying to tell...

There is a Monster on this thread. :D

Hi Jeff, You tend to not get down with your waist very much on your BH opener... also your bat drops to maybe the top of your man zone. This promotes a drive without a ton of spin - a valid shot, but not a loop and not as safe as a spinier shot. Your opponent blocks into the net a lot on these...

Goo Ga, Ga Ga.

JJ, This Sacramento, a 2.5-4 hr car drive to the dozen plus good clubs... which is difficult even once a month if you are motivated and have time. In Sacramento, it is pretty much like the rest of USA, not many high level players, ZERO real TT club... only TT action is in people's garage, a...

One good match I had (among two very disappointing losses) was against a local player who is WAY more skilled and play level than his rating. (He likes to keep his rating low) (No he is not a ringer trying to win money in big tourneys) This player has the capability to pressure and win vs me...

From the portions i could watch, @Jslick89 did exceedingly well. I saw him come back from 0-2 in games to equalize as he began to play effectively and believe in what can work. It was unfortunate he lost at the end 11-9 that match in the 5th, he got a little too anxious to attack and missed a...

LDM7 hired his technique coach to be present for the entire tourney just like you described. This coach is long retired from competitive play. There are no availability conflicts with this situation.

Yes, getting the amount of spin you choose and a good half-long location can do a lot for a server to get an advantage. There is technique learning, concept learning, then a lot of practice.

Truth. I always advocate that it is VARIATION that keeps opponents off balance, spin variation one of them... and if serves are basically same spin, there is no variation for spin and server loses advantage unless there is other variation..

I am not as harsh towards J-Slick's regular coach... he is married with a family too, so I get it. it is a matter of how much he wants to be available... Just like J-Slick's regular coach, my events also started in afternoon, but I came out on J-Slick's request, after I asked if his coach would...

One of the things I stressed is one should have at LEAST a medium underspin serve... so that when they serve light spin it is a true variation that can get errors or good chances... with only a light spin serve, no variation and opponets adjust... then there is no answer. Having spin variation...
