A good coach, who coaches juniors really well, and is faced with a hopeless case adult learner, may just give up and do things that make the adult learner feel happy. :) hahahahaha.

I meant, as his FH rubber. :) I believe he was using a Bryce Speed topsheet with a Sriver sponge for the RPB BH but used the Traditional Penhold BH more so, the Red H3 was used for TPB and FH.....But not always....just for periods of time. :)

There were periods where Ma Lin used to use a Red H3.

Punctuation: "Ellipsis, a three-dot punctuation mark (...)". This kind of punctuation (.....) a series of dots can also be used to indicate a pause, like a comma or a period.....but longer....so.....a pregnant pause. Nothing wrong with using actual existing punctuation how it was meant to be...

9 out of 10 is much too generous to Gozo. They are multiple levels apart. He is looping backspin with a big arc on his BH. And these guys are dealing with so much more spin than Gozo has ever faced that he did not even know why I said what I said because he cannot see the difference in the...

It is funny, he is doing stuff with spin you probably don't even understand and you are trying to give advice. :)

I am just making sure you know the rules of this thread. They are listed in the first post of this thread. You are not on the list of people who can comment on people's play in the thread. If you wanted to be on the list, you would have to show footage of yourself and get my approval to be...

You can practice resetting during shadow strokes. It is interesting how that gets you to do it. That could also get you to change grips faster. I actually think you would benefit from practicing shadow strokes with footwork in front of a mirror and shadow serves to practice, after the...

Watch this one Gozo. I think this one shows one of the biggest things you need to work on. If you just watch your hand holding the racket, your body and head, and where the opponent starts to swing at your serve, you are still holding the serve grip, and you are still in the position you were...

And just like with serving, you can contact side/under and generate top/side.

An extra piece of info, if you are doing an over the table BH loop against a sidespin serve, coming over the top is good. But if it is against a backspin serve or a push, contacting the side of the ball instead of the back or the top will make the shot easier to execute successfully because the...

A couple of things to know aside from the fact that this thread is a few years old: 1) Panany is a pretty high level player and there is no way you should compare your experience with his. But I am comfortable knowing that he will know what is good FOR HIM. 2) If you had the amount of power...

One thing to understand is, no matter what return you are talking about, you should not always do any one kind of return. It is important to have many ways to return any ball that comes to you. Even if your return is very good, if your opponent knows that you will always do one certain thing...

Also, my recollection of the 1998 rule change for pips, most of the top players did not think it was something that was needed. They were fine with how pips were before 1998. It was at the amateur level that that was a bigger issue.

I just want you to know, there has been a report that this thread has been hijacked by the OP of the thread. :) I was trying to sort out how that would be possible. I couldn't. :)

In the end, as long as you are having fun, it is all good. Can you remind me of how you did last time in the SINGLES event? How far in the knockout bracket did you get? What seed did you get out of your round robin group?

Just to clarify....perhaps you are not ready for random placement, but, if you are not practicing a drill vs random placement where you don't know where the ball will go and you have to read and move to it, the drill is rudimentary and will not get you to be able to do this in match play...

Yeah. For Gozo to actually make improvement on this, a lot of things would have to fall into place. The first thing would be, in match and simulated match training, his recover to a neutral position so he can see where the next ball is going would have to improve EXPONENTIALLY. And second, he...

It is worth thinking long term. In the next 3 days, will you improve your percentages enough to make a difference in your tournament this week? I doubt it. But over the next 6 months, you might.

Do you practice with a training partner (not coach) where you serve, opponent pushes ANYWHERE, AND YOU HAVE TO LOOP, NO MATTER WHAT?
