I think China's pollution problems might be entirely caused by Hurricane production.

I got some DHS Hurricane 3 for Christmas and after barely opening the package a toxic ****ing aroma spilled out and emanated through the entire room. It's the worst thing I've ever smelled in my life and I hate it. Is this normal? You don't even have to be that close to it to get a huge whiff of...

Why are there basically no non-Chinese players in the Super League? I really feel like certain players like Hugo Calderano and Simon Gauzy could really take their game to the next level if they weren't in the lesser leagues.

Yeah I don't know why i'm obsessed with the reverse and leave out my BH serve. I feel like I can -- in theory when I'm actually executing it -- vary the spin more on the reverse than with the BH. When I actually get it right I can make my side/top reverse look similar to a side/back reverse and...

I apologize if anyone felt mocked. I was just trying to be silly while also absorbing as much advice as possible. Is your coach Brett Clarke? He's been in Florida recently. Orlando/Cocoa Beach area where I live working with a guy from the Cocoa Beach club

Fair enough. I can only go to the club on the weekends and that Saturday there was a tournament (not sanctioned) so it was going to be my only opportunity to play against good players and not just by myself or with coworkers who don't even spin the ball. I take the playing time I can get.

I was really just joking. But right now my ultimate goal is not necessarily to win RIGHT NOW, but to practice the things that will hopefully help me win later by incorporating the things you guys and others have told me into my game.

A lot of people on this thread are telling me not to do the reverse pendulum serve because I don't have it down consistently and keep messing it up. Ever consider that I just really like doing it??? hahah

I don't have a rating. I've been playing for ~1 year but going to the club regularly (once a week) for less. My goal is to be competitive at the club and to get better. I don't have the time to get to like 2000 rating but I would like to get to 1000 maybe over the next year or so.

Let's say my opponent receives my serve with a ton of backspin but it pops high enough that I can loop it. Usually when I get this kind of ball I either try to lift the ball too much on the loop and overshoot or don't lift the ball enough and it goes into the net. It's a problem of touch for me...

Yeah I was lucky that my opponent this match had a gopro. I've been watching the video a lot and spotting a lot of my mistakes. It's easier in retrospect to see what I'm doing wrong than in the moment.

You probably could have given me a lot of this critique without calling me a lazy bitch and stuff! I will be getting some coaching soon, and I'm still learning and practicing as much as I can with my schedule. I KNOW that I'm bad otherwise I wouldn't have to ask for advice from you, so you don't...

Yeah a lot of these things are bad muscle memory things I've developed from teaching myself. I I have a hard time pushing the ball on the serve receive, you'll see i'm constantly chopping it too high or just messing it up altogether. I also am trying to do a slow loop too much when I get a lot...

I played in a small tournament over the weekend where I got second-to-last place. Watching this video, taken by my opponent, you'll see a ton of little mistakes that just mount quickly. He and I are both about the same level in ability but he doesn't make nearly as many mistakes as I do. I think...

I've only posted a couple times on the forums and I know Cho is one of those things that's probably been discussed in detail elsewhere. I appreciate Archo's attempt to explain but it seems like every time I see one of his comments somewhere everyone is quick to jump in and refute whatever he...

We all know a lot of the top Chinese players will yell "Cho!" after winning a point. But Dima and I think Timo too will sometimes yell what sounds like "Tolli." My girlfriend is German and doesn't even know what they're saying or what it means but it might because they're yelling and...

I'm in central Florida. An hour southeast of Orlando near cape canaveral/cocoa beach. I'll post a video of myself playing an opponent on Thursday hopefully.

I posted a video! hope you get a chance to watch!

Okay here's a video of me practicing a few shots. I've received a lot of great advice so far and if anybody can help me create more brushing contact that would be great!
