11-6 Simon wins

FWIW: After looking at bits of some of your matches, it looks to me like your habitually receive serves with heels flat to the floor. I see no evidence of active muscle prep.

Seems you have answered your own questions. You tried a variety of rubbers and harder ones performed and felt better for your style of play.

Perhaps use more of TTEdge video technique, method 3, of LTT102? In other words, more elliptical, rounded backswing rather than back and forward on similar track. To me that tweak feels to use hips more and shoulders less.

I encountered this video coaching service receive, which is woefully thin on English translation, but in careful review I found some helpful insight. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IiKoMIPEuWQ It appears the instruction for preparing to receive includes getting low and balanced, then lifting...

I think Baal and NextLevel are offering great insight. My experience is that the differences in feel/performance will be more significant in the earlier stages of one's development. My TT history: adult learner, penhold, now playing regularly for 9+ years, in a non coaching region of the US...

Kreanga wins 11-4

Hi, I am a RH penhold player, with the TPB being my default backhand. However in the last couple of years I have spent some time adding RPB stroke for some backhand serve receive. Just this past week a "lightbulb" moment of understanding improved my results. My normal ready position for...

After three years of almost daily use, I am loving my Butterfly Europa 25 as much as on day one, with no regrets.

Eltelon Men's NFS racquetball shoes are on the same last as the Prince NFS squash shoes. I have had two or three pair with good results.

It seems to me serving position is connected to women's preference for backhand serves.

Look at the dates of the conversation you were responding to...2015. :rolleyes:

A super thin CA adhesive will penetrate via capillary action. I have seen hunting bows repaired with same and returned to full service. Apparently the adhesion can be stronger than the undamaged surrounding wood.

Timo 11-4

Why not just duplicate what you got from Cole? " 'premade buster' from colestt.com (Yinhe N11 FL + 2x Dawei 2008 2.0mm?" It is a solid set up and as you compare styles you will not be second guessing yourself by thinking maybe it is the difference in blade or rubber rather than technique.

Alpay, it would be nice to see some video of your play in a real competition. Just a game or two would give enough information for others to give you more accurate feedback.

NextLevel, I just want to call out a bit of "thanks" for your repeatedly referencing your concept of shaping a forehand. You have helped me improve my game. I play penhold, at the table, and my history is lots of early, off the bounce hitting. Your descriptions have enabled me to find more...

I thought strawberry was a term some use for the "mirror" of a banana flick, same ball contact, just on the forehand side.
