I am no Coach nor EJ ... i generally don't give tips/advice/reviews ...
I don't review (except for 1 time on Nexy Amazon CPen and MX-P rubber) because I've not used the modern equipment enough... i'm generally a stick to one type of racket/rubber and fortunate to have found something that suits me early enough after the death of my old favorite blade i called 'Excalibur' ... plus after a 30+ yrs 'vacation' from TT, the equipment i knew about is in the past. I am a bad reviewer in that i don't know the gradings and terminology ... just a simpleton who knows what he likes and what he doesn't like
I don't have the experience per se to give tips, but more importantly i don't have the 'Eye' that Carl, Der, NL et al do... if i see something I think i can speak on/to, I will, but generally i know what i know, and i know when i should speak up and when not to ... leave that for others way more qualified/better than me [EDIT: plus, i'm pretty sure TTDers don't play my game, if at all - oldschool one-sided PH ]
I'm no wise sage, but if others think of me that way, i am wise enough to tell you i'm not lol
I come on here for fun ... that sums it up probably ... as i surf here during workflow lulls
Will add that i also use the DTT CC thread to chronicle my 'comeback' and perhaps help others with posts about my trials and tribulations.
