    Thanks Der Echte, Just tried to make quality shots and keep the ball in play like you and Next Level have advocated. Was in Austin last week for South by Southwest music festival and stopped at the T.T. club there two days to hit. I played a lot with a 2000 rated player that I had met at the...

    Wouldn't call you road kill.You had some good cross court forehands he couldn't get to. Clear winners. But you definitely did not get him out of his comfort zone. I watched him serve his backhand serve over and over and still had a hard time seeing what he was placing on the ball. As you guys...

    Played in the Austin club Saturday. Played a lot of games against a penhold (which I seldom face) chopper (which I seldom face). He has a heavy spin chop and a good crosscourt/forehand smash when I let the ball get up short or medium which he seldom hits off or into the net and is difficult to...

  9. Which glue are you using?

    After having several blades splinter when removing rubber, I now always varnish my blades or have the vendor do it. I use EZ PRO glue from Paddle Palace.

    I Played in a Tournament in El Paso over the weekend. Played under 3700 Doubles and our team got second. I had never played doubles in a tournament before and as I was the low rated person on the team at 1389 with Dan Seemiller JR.(2306) as my partner I had to concentrate on just getting the...
  11. Black Metal Tag Butterfly price inflation

    I feel a bit foolish now but last month I found a Butterfly Tamca 5000 in the original but really beat up looking package in my closet.I gave it to the players at TexasTech who needed a racquet....I had no idea it was worth anything.

    NextLevel, I get your point. Looping the returns will at least have me on the offensive and I do tend to lose more when I am defensive or tentative. The higher rated players seldom gave me a log serve. Perhaps one or two per game and it was when they caught me trying to cheat up to the table and...

    Went to Austin for the week and played a tournament on Saturday where I played well till I strained my back then lost to a much lower rated pips out on backhand player as I had lost my mobility. Took a lesson on Monday and Wednesday and played the league matches on Wednesday as well. Played 6...

    Good job on Lehman. It looked like he just couldn't manage to keep you from getting the third ball attack off your serves. I played in a tournament in El Paso this weekend. The tournament was a round robin and I did better than I have in most of my prior tournaments. I have been working on...

    Went to D.C. last weekend and played in the league event Friday night at Smash T.T.until 11pm where I got my ass beat. I did manage to meet Der Echte and got some tips about my play problems. I do not have video but because Der Echte has now seen me play several matches he can now speak...

    Visited my son in Colorado Springs for a week and had a chance to play at their club in a couple of small round robins. Nice guys and I got to keep in practice against new folks who were my level and higher. Won more matches than I lost but I have to work on extending the rallies rather than...
