Yes, that's exactly what happens. It's like the balls form an "arch" over the hole where it feeds into the machine. Personally I think if the feeder uses something more substantial than thin metal rods to stir the balls it'd solve the issue. Right now the rods are not able to collapse the "arch"...

Oh right, it was about 9 (~230mm) inches from the table to the bottom of the ball, similar to the Amicus Prime when set to the middle red line (as the ball deflects from the top deflector). That was a quick measurement, I'll do a more exact one tomorrow.

I use 200+ balls, there are def frequent "jams". It's not a matter of pressure, I don't think, maybe you just haven't used it long enough? I don't recall many instance during my first few months using it, but now it's very frequent. Anyhow, where did you get the retrofit mechanism? I'd like to...

I just received my Halo S Pro and did some basic setup stuff. I have to work tonight so not much time to test it out extensively. After more thorough testing I'll write a thorough review, with the Butterfly Amicus Prime as the primary comparison. Here are some first impressions thus far. 1)...

I think Timo's TTR was in the 2600-2700 range.

That is EXACTLY the change I've been making! I used to try to hit into the blade using an open racket, and then close down over it. The process inevitably introduces a ton of sidespin. That's not the main issue, however, as the main issue comes when I try to use that stroke as a basis for all...

After that last post I've had 2 practice sessions with my practice partner. The first one was a mess for my FH. I seemed to unable to replicate my newfound technique. With the faster speed and variations due to playing a real person, there were just too many variables. In between, I had a...

I liked his cheeky reference to not being able to make it to the semifinals lately, I think he knows his new nickname quite well :ROFLMAO:

Fine, truce then, back to the tournament.

Oh I see, so you consider the Chinese culture to have crappy moral standards? Let it all out my man, don't hold that racist inner self back. Maybe your superior white compatriots can go invade them and colonize them for a few hundred years to civilized them.

Have you not heard Adam Bobrow calling FZD "little fatty"? He got that from CNT fans belovingly calling him by that nickname. You should open your mind to cultural differences. There exists a world outside of your cocoon where being fat or skinny can just be a matter of fact and not a stigma.

That's certainly one thing @zeio and most Chinese probably wouldn't like to see being imported from the west :eek:

Your comment is quite paternalistic and sexist. Nobody seems to take any issue with FZD being called "little fatty" or LJK being called "big fatty", but comment on SYS's love handles and that's a no-no? Does that mean women should care more about their appearance than men? That they should feel...

It actually is a culture thing. Many Chinese indeed don't believe in fat-shaming because to them there is no shame in being fat. My Chinese relatives are extremely careful in being polite but regularly comment on people's weight. Due to the long and frequent histories of famines in China...

So I'm now on week 4 in my quest to perfect my FH, and I'm super close! The 2nd to last piece is falling into place now. I'm already solid with hip rotation and activation sequence, not yet at a point where it's my default but they're at a point where I just need to remember to do them as they...

If you can double sock and still fit in the shoe then maybe you need smaller/narrower shoes? I usually get athletic shoes on the smaller side to make sure they fit snug and my feet don't move in them.

Every well used W968 I've seen that's unsealed has splinters. I would recommend sealing it unless you change rubbers very often (before it hardens) or change blades often.

After the boosting effect wears away the H3 is still fairly playable. The glue also hardens after a couple months though, so it may be time to reboost after that. Don't reboost a lot, I use just enough to make the rubber flat again. After the 2nd reboost the rubber feels rather mushy. You can...

I've always had a powerful FH slot, but recently I've been tinkering a lot with all the nuances the FH, trying to understand every aspect of it and perfecting it. My advice is just don't worry too much about the racket angle. Pay attention to everything else, your feet, your legs, your hip...

So I've been working on my FH form in earnest since I right before I left for China. I've worked on it here and there, but I'm finally feeling reasonably comfortable with my BH so I'm determined to work on FH now and get it right. I'm doing almost exclusively training right now, trying to get...
