THAT is indeed a REALITY. Even more real is that MANY TT coaches cannot just coach and afford a car and an apartment by themself. Many have another job and/or live with one or more people in the same place to reduce housing costs. Some do not even have a car. Living in USA in an urban area is...

Hi MZ, back in the day, the laws of TT USED to call against these double hits, but more recent laws of TT state that now it must be an INTENTIONAL double strike. How it is applied by umpires is that if there is a continuous swing and the ball his anywhere below the top of the wrist bone, the...

What I said to @Littledragonman7 was in the context of what he could do to be in position and set the strike zone on time with leverage given the starting position he was at... he had his reasons for his starting position. I told him my old-school Korean coach advocated a similar depth behind...

He is Korean, I speak Korean, we both live in California and we both go to tournaments. :D Maybe California will fall off into the ocean after the next earthquake too. :D There is a biotech exec Korean dude named Soon in SD - he prolly goes to Balboa, ask him about some white skinned dude who...

Hi MZ, You are talking about the Korean with last name of Chang. He uses his pips to control the ball then whacks you. if you are not used to the blocks, you hang yourself. You MUST discover what serve(s) get you a predictable ball and attack decisively. if you fail to do that, you are at a...

Hi infermiteG, Cole actually looks like he changed his website up recently. It is said that a nuclear strike will not incapacitate Cole. Throughout the years, I cannot think of another TT vendor like Cole who has his heart in it to serve people. I just placed a decent sized order for...

Yes Dominik, The example I provided with an O65 player who is TTR2000 plays just like that. At the table, will block real close to bounce very soft touch with LN Long Pips... will wait for ball to FH and kill with KN short pips. This greatly reduces how much he has to run around in a match...

Yes. LDM7 was asking for a way to get to a position of leverage and position to set the strike zone and orientation of strike down the FH short side of table. I also reminded him of his recently learned adjustment of how to pull the non-hitting hand and arm inward to initiate a shoulder...

Think about where LDM7 was starting from and what he could possibly do to quickly get a position of leverage and set the strike zone near the endline. Yes, I showed him to quickly step with left foot and plant. The right foot will drag and close hips some if the step gets waist too open. Think...

Over the months and weeks, when LDM7 is trying to FH or BH topspin underspin or deadish balls that come 6-12 inches past the endline, LDM7 would miss a lot of them, mostly out. I would tell him to wait for the ball some more. (He was positioned 1.5-2 feet behind the endline) Sometimes I told him...

You will need to try your serves out on your opponents and see how they manage. It will give you data, but they will adapt. The best thing you can do for your serve and attack chances are to develop a quality serve low, short, tight spinny when you want it and VARY IT with the same smooth serve...

The top rated active player in Sacramento is JZ, 65, who switched to SP/LP off the bounce soft block and FH pick hit style... plays that 2200+ level... I would say YES, 60+ players can still play a defensive style.

Here is another Korean vid with subs that some may get a few things from...

Zero idea about their equipment, I usually not so worried about that. Prolly a pair of Diginicksie for Junseong and Diginicksie/Grass D-Technology for Dongsoo

I scored some sheets of Tibhar AURUS 2.1 from TTnPP for old times sake. when I ditched T05 in 2011 after the price increase, I started using Aurus for a couple years, just an excellent allround offensive rubber. I have a new sheet of Aurus on the FH of the Mandalorian for the last few weeks...

I thought Nexy Korea was totally out of stock of MX-K in 2.1... but yesterday their domestic website tak9.com is showing both red and black on hand in stock now.

This is Korean youtuber TT Girl (탁구소녀) getting a lesson at the excellent former pro Kim Lam Soo TTC. Doez she look rusty?

Oh Jun Seong vs fast footwork defender/attacker Gang Dong Soo. These kind of matches always a joy to watch.

Setup that bait pile of national H3 rubbers and speed dial your miniskirt wearing assistant and setup ur stakeout from Krackhouse #13 and we'll see how washed up Der_Echte be... :D

It is a fault of Der_Echte... I articulate too much, sometimes too long, sometimes too often... but I have a purpose and objective doing it that way though. So many years ago Next Level regretted he did not have his camera rolling when I had said something relevant that NL had been seeking for...
