Ironically, in the same tourney, vs a guy 4 levels beter than me, I was strongly competing... lost 14-16 first game, won game 2 11-9... then out came illegal serve blatant serving under arm not removed and hid with body... WHY did I not stop, get the referee, and have him assign an umpire? I...

I see your play level is better than 90%+ of this forum. You prolly have enough in you already to make an effective choice. There are HUNDREDS of possible choices for what you are dpoing and no single one will be wrong. I recently did exactly what you are trying to do... gear down blade (and go...

Boosting only works with H3... and it better be a top secret NATIONAL cut or people be wasting their time.

There are a gazilion forum members who would swear upon whatever that MX-P is utterly worthless after 2 weeks when tuner effect fades... I often tell forum members to save their useless sheets of 2 week+ old MX-P and Sergey Tsos would offer to pay for international shipping. That cat feels MX-P...

I bought a Tibhar umpire kit for $8 USD... as a qualified umpire, I sometimes feel compelled to umpire/scorekeep tourney matches and make a professional presentation. At a recent seniors tourney, I did such in a doubles match... had my kit at the ready... a gent on side did a blatant illegal...

I bought 2 each St handle V1 PPP OFF- blades... with my volume discount, I got the blades for around $26 USD each. I also went down a level of firmness on FH to SOFT sponge... got a couple sheets of Donic Bluestorm Z3 for $33 USD each... my FX-D is around that price... and a couple sheets of...

Sometimes it is simply that you saw the ball, got into or were in good position, allowed the ball to come into effective strike zone, used good leverage with a firming of grip at impact. Under those conditions, many a ball go in and makes you wonder why it did. The position/leverage with that...

Yeah, Carl has high standards and can be a very disagreeable guy... so much that he hosts nearly every TTD Goon Squad member to his residence and TT for the time of their lives. Simply great times.

Hi Takkyu... Look at the Physics involved without involving BB (but he would agree)... Immediately off the bounce, there is maximum vertical energy/velocity... so inherently, one can open the blade more as you do not need as much lifting force. There are also many variables of collision...

Good question. You have to convince Carl. He set the rules and standard... and has listened to some others and let some others commented. He just wants to make sure people who post vids on this thread will get comments from solid people who will not make fun of them or give bad advice. He is...

Tactically, up to 2000 or 2100, you can play without any BH topspin what-so-ever... but it is damn tiring to play that way. A reliable and versatile BH saves one a lot of energy. Even if ur BH is 1/2 of your FH, just having it land and do what you want where you want counts so much.

Hi J-Slick, Come out to 1st Slavic Evangelical tonite at 5 PM or later or hit me up at Citrus Hts Tuesday. The key is to bend forward at waist some, get upper arm and elbow in front of body and on the side (how much or little depends on how relative to belly button left or right your natural...

This is also very old-school Korean way. Div 1 city players 2000-2200 USATT in 2009 had nearly every one of them having zero BH opening loop vs underspin... like I mean NO ONE did it. at 1600 new player I had a BH loop vs underspin and it was a wonder to them, I was the only player in the city...

Hi J-Slick... Take a look at your BH point of impact. You often strike the ball way too far in front of you to get any leverage. (sometimes you are striking it at the point of full arm extension from body - like 2-2.5 feet from body) About the only shot doing the impact that far in front and...

I just got dun with TWO Goon Squad missions to San Fran and LA. Just got back from the 7 hr drive (all three drove) and it is 4 AM. Good night or morning, depending on where you are on this planet.

LDM7 just won a red shirt with a dragon to show he won a division at Meikeljohn Seniors TT Tourney south of LA. He also made the semis of another division.

USA is a huge country, it will depend on where in Ohio you are... but pretty much not matters as you would need to drive way to long to get to the monthly tourney action on East Coast... MD/DC or NYC. Still Ohio averages a tourney + a month between Akron, Columbus, and Plain City. You will not...

Team was in tie for 1st in division 4-1, but on final day lost close matches. Still medaled. Pic with soon to register Sergey.

These stories are always good news and adventure. Full respect, hope you have fun in the discovery and implementation stage.

Sergey Tsos did well to avoid a death, I was poisoned in the AM and was garbage, but recovered to defeat a skilled player I lost to last year Sac tourney.
