I understand the situation (as a human being I can also feel frustration), but I also understand that that emotion is often more than not displaced. When I say an emotion is irrational, I mean the emotion is not appropiate for the situation. For example, fear can be irrational when you fear an...

Well, appreciation might not be the good word. It's more a matter of respect towards the opponent and his/her style, a style that is the extension of the person (physically/mentally) he/she is. You are right about the frustration. But accepting it... No. The frustration is irrational and the...

Firstly a name is just a name: nothing to seek something behind. Secondly I ask myself the same question, but vice versa: why play against players who never appreciate the skill you put into it (and some even start to insult you - no kidding - because they don't have the necessary technique to...

Well, your emotions and braithey's world view say it all... But it's not because you feel frustrated and want to rationalize that feeling with an evolutionary theory, everybody (including defensive players) feel and see it that way. If you stop playing because of "junk players", then it's you...

But we don't need inverted players to validate our approach to the game. When playing pips/anti against each other you still have a match with long rallies. Besides, a modern defender has an attacking side (even two if you count twiddling) that can be used to play a defense-offense match. If any...

They won't be banned. Where did you hear that rumour?

It's gonna be named the 40+ ball. I think that says enough.

Can't agree more.

Check the Rasant history for a comparable story. Thx for clearing this all up, Mark. But still my criticism holds and apparently some of the posters are agreeing with me this (might) look like an advertisement. Maybe you could take this into account when making the next review video. IMO...

I agree Elvis should have kept his calm to the reactions he got here, but that doesn't excuse the reactions themselves. I'm not going to respond to the following criticism: "I also completely disagree with you saying that this isn't a neutral review as he has not said it is better or worse...

Well, I have to back up Elvis in this one. I'm an OOAK member and once and a while I make the crossover to this forum. I mostly don't post here, but for once I want to make an exception, because Elvis is treated unfairly here. Although I have deep respect for Dan and what he has done with this...

What does Ma Long mean with "together"?

What does Ma Long mean with "together"?

Nice vid!:) You don't play bad with the long pip, but off course your friend plays with you like a long pip player likes to be played. It might be interesting to see what you do with other styles. Great forehand btw!

But if it was never broken, why replacing it then in the first place?:cool:

Is it confirmed then that he's playing the P1-R again?

No, I didn't vote for Joo's amazing shot this time... Cazuo's shot was the most amazing one this year for me.

You can play defensive with inverted, but the defensive play will be more of blocking/lobbing, based on topspin in contrary to pips play which is based on backspin. Effective chopping with inverted is really hard to do on a fast high spin ball and will never reach the backspin pips create...

I'm glad it was all a miscommunication and I agree with what you've said in this post. BTW, I'm still trying to lose weight myself...:p Can you PM me about that incentive program? I'm quite curious about that.

That's what I thought when I read your final post, Mr. RicharD.:p Except... On which we agree completely. You're a strange man, Mr. RicharD, because IMO the things you say, are sometimes contradictory. I'm not going to open that debate again, because it will lead to nothing and we've already...
