  1. Video Footage Safe Thread

    Hi J-Bus... There are a hundred things we can say... but I will stop at a quick three (and not hog up all the analysis) that are costing you points. 1 - Vs incoming light underspin... you are striking the ball WAY in front of your strike zone... this makes very poor leverage... which makes...

    BRAVO NDH. Bravo.
  5. Why do I get so nervous when playing a match?

    I have emphasized a lot of these elements with LDM7, we both feel similar on this. Especially from his painful loss in singles in finals, practicing a reliable serve low and light to get a predictable ball to attack and have courage/confidence. That matters late in the match. LDM7 has seen a...
  6. Why do I get so nervous when playing a match?

    Yes. Gozo, you were not relaxed, first and largest issue. Second is base serve technique. You had your bat angle a little too closed and your grip was too tight. SO MANY players do this in matches and fail to control their serves. Your tightness was your major factor. It prevented you from a...

    In 2008, in an Iraq camp, I would play soccer with whoever showed up (Uganda guards and a few US military vs the Iraqi Infantry company team)... we did this in summer 45 minutes before sundown... when temps were 50-55 C and only beginning to fall on the sand pitch... we would be running like...

    Sorry I didn't follow you well enough on the forum lately (at daughter's place in Boston right now)... what got you hurt? I think my sudden absence got LDM7 to withdraw as well. I feel bad about leaving LDM7 hanging, as much as I care for him and want to give him every tool to grow, my...
  10. Is it the right approach to try to return every backspin serve with a backhand flick?

    Tony said it short and sweet. You can go one of a couple ways. 1 - Keep flipping with BH and use your matches as training. You will lose points, games, and matches, but you have to at some point start trying to use the BH flip in real matches anyway, even if you trained them. 2- Push return...

    Every outfit makes SEVERAL of these type... so it is almost like a mosquito at a nudist colony on this thing... choose any in that class.

    Gozo, you will likely really hate on Next Level and Der_Echte when we would say that you really do not spin the ball very heavy. Go ahead and right now, pin up full sized pics of us at the pub for the dart throwing and get it out of your system. If you can spin the ball real heavy and slow...

    There is a LOT more crash and burn required to grow than one would think, still valuable data.
  17. What are tactics for men to play women?

    S-P-I-N it is a 4 letter word starting with S. They hate it when you give it to them real heavy.

    You could try to put a wet washcloth over the rubber blade and try an iron for so many minutes and give it a try to take off.
