I would like to also comment on shoes.
I know many players that don't like new shoes. Its too much grip (on proper rubber flooring)
They prefer it to be worn off a little, say 3 to 5 days of proper training, then it is more comfortable.
I don't know any science behind it, maybe beyond the shoe that adapts to fit, or how much 5 days (30 hours) of high level training would alter. I really don't know, but that just them. Quality of shoes today is better than my days though.
Also, they also won't wear TT shoe for running. Western world, they mostly run with the same shoe they train with.
Footwork drills, we will still use TT shoe, but running, will use running shoes (or trainers as some call them)
I don't think much people is interested in shoes, so didn't bother comment, until now
Yeah, so for some people I guess they'll say they have some "break-in" period for their shoes when it feels optimal for them. To me it's just different levels of degradation, which seems to be bigger in the beginning. BB just seems to be pedantic about words and what we mean.. but where is the disagreement really?
I wish there could be a big TTD meetup 😀. Back in the day I used to be a part of a freestyle football community (football/soccer tricks) and there was a forum where eventually we would meet up and then practice together. This forum gives a similar vibe to when I was active there. I'm sure we'd all become friends at the table 😄Hmmm, we do tend to judge other person's motives. But in my experience, presupposing bad, also turns bad, back on me. So I advice against it, if I may. And I don't think Tony needs any kind of "self-defense" here. I don't mind such question at all. It should be treated as a question like how old are you. Also I don't mind if people like NDH occasionally say they are essentially national level players. Absolutely zero wrong on that, imo. I'm sure you can see the situation, Tony lives intensive life, and here comes someone with this "director attitude", it can trigger one a bit, don't you think?
Anyway, I just want to reiterate. I'd love to hit with ANYONE of you. If you visit CR, especially Morava, let me know.
