They punish their opponents with powerful smack shots. Those can be pretty evil, especially when well placed. Brs is pretty good at that as well! So, kind of what JZ says SP are good for on FH, I know a few people who do powerful, slapadelic smack-shots on BH using the SP as an offensive...

If you played only hardbat for a while, you might change your mind. Plus, I didn’t recommend hardbat for anyone else. I recommended that if you tried it, you might like it. I bet you could beat a lot of the active members on here using hardbat. I have that feeling. Examples: many times you...

I think you have been playing TT for a long time. Longer than many on the forum have been alive. I also think you have a unique perspective and some information that it is worth it for people to understand. However, you do also insist on your perspective being the only perspective and insult...

Of course you should not stop trying. But you can work on resetting to a ready position. And you can work on it whether you are at the table or not because you can work on the ready position in shadow strokes which will actually also help the mechanics of your stroke. A few min in front of a...

Yep. killerspintt. He posted a few of the all time best posts on the forum way back then.

Yeah. This is well said. I definitely have that dark side as well and used to express it quite frequently before I was a moderator. These days it only comes out every so often. :) I wonder what happened to that hardbat guy burndtman..... :)

I am just curious, what makes you think you are a troll?

It is also worth noting there is a member who recently told two players who are relatively high level here on the forum that he was better than them, would beat them in a match and that they were mediocre players. Having seen footage of all three players, I am fairly comfortable saying the...

I remember one time Matt Heatherington posted footage of him feeding multiball to a 2600+ level player and there were all these comments like: “that guy sux, his FH doesn’t look anything like Ma Long’s. He needs to do Z, Y and Z to be better”. I thought it was entertaining how guys who were...

I am not playing games with you. If you use words like Penis or Moron when referring to a member of this forum again, you will be banned. You are rude over and over to many people on the forum. If you are here to act like that, I suggest you find a different forum. People posting information...

It is hard to watch the opponent if you are not already set. It is like saying you plan to work on watching a target with your back turned to the target; more accurately, while you are turning but still can’t see the target. If you are not reset, even if you are trying to look, what you are...

Reset and watch: after your stroke you want to be reset and in a ready position for the next ball BEFORE your shot lands on your opponent's side of the table. Then you can watch what they do with the ball and read where they are going and what shot they are taking. This also means you can move...

The most important thing to understand with this is, the people who are not ignoring the real trolls who are here to troll maliciously, or don't realize they troll maliciously and do without realizing--the people who ARE INTERACTING with the trolls--are people who are fairly long standing...

Yeah: you guys who see personal attacks and bad language, please do report that. I have been leaving the reports and hoping someone else will look too. But I take my time, sort out how I want to handle, and then I will eventually handle things like that. So, when someone is making personal...

I absolutely agree that Zeio has been and can be a valuable contributor. But I also know he crossed some serious boundaries, and THEY WERE WITH ME, ABOUT ME AND VERY VERY PERSONAL. He actually crossed some boundaries that no other TTD member in the decade or so of moderating has ever crossed...

I guess I want to add something about "freedom of speech". Often when people have their content moderated, they argue about the right to "free speech". That is an issue for governments and government agencies. If you are an employee of the IRS of FBI, the government of the USA cannot act...

I guess another detail as regards to BB and Zeio: Zeio did not really prove anything. He was posting links to content by others that was not exactly about what BB was talking about and BB sets up his "debate subjects" so that he cannot be wrong because he NARROWLY defines the subject and the...

We agree on many things. It is okay for us to not agree on everything. Let me ask you, if I contacted you in a private conversation, and asked you not to engage with a certain member, and I did it several times, trying to explain to you my reason for asking, would you post my private...

Yeah. I think you are a valuable member of the forum and it is worth having you on here so I am glad Dan did that.

BTW: @NextLevel: do you have any insights into incidents on MyTT with Zeio and mods? I believe at one point there was talk about him getting a ban there for similar harassment on MyTT. Did I misunderstand the person who told me that, or is that right?
