Siva, I have to respectfully disagree with your last comment, you have to accept that you get riled up and you do react inappropriately occasionally. Come on, we all do at times, but unless you accept your issue you can never make any progress.
Can you tell me why you are posting your serving like "so and so" videos on facebook and asking people to follow them , we already discussed here that the serves are good but they are not pro serves and you have yet to go some distance when you can reach pro level where your serves could be used as examples for others to learn and I thought you seemed to agree.
I see you giving advice to JediJesse in another thread, whose form is way better than yours is currently.
I also saw you make a comment somewhere that this forum is full of amateurs who are pretending to be Pros .
The thing is looking at videos made by amateurs or semi pros and comparing them with the International level table tennis video is not easy. its very easy to be not able to understand how many hours of training ( guided or in some cases misguided
) they have put in when you see a "Ma Long" looping next.
What I am trying to say is it goes both ways , there will be always a gap in perception of somebody's real level unless you play them in person , or you may get an idea if you see them playing "matches" with a ton of different opponents whose level you know or can correctly perceive .
For example, after seeing Boogar playing so many people we know have an approximate idea of his level and you would have seen NL say that his touch is very good and its very difficult to see that from his videos.
This is what I think and you can take it or leave it , if you are going to use "hyperbole" in the descriptions of your video to promote them , or pop culture references to explain your reactions its going to be very difficult for you to find fan followers in a forum where most of the people take the sport as a serious hobby ... and for all I know I might be wrong
Hey, it ok man bro, i get your point. I already posted previously in the forum that I am growing my youtube channel, there is nothing to be discreet about it. If you didn't see that post, you could go back few pages and find it.
Regarding Facebook, Who said it is wrong and who gives authority for some to say it is wrong. Since you know about what I am doing with my Facebook, you would have also known that many people like what I do. Why do you see that in a bad way.
It was made clear that my serves are not pro level and I am not claiming any. i like to work on them and feel comfortable to share them, I also share those videos on reddit and the people over there really love what I do.
Regarding giving advice to JediJesse, It comes back again to authority, who gives right for oneself to claim they are right and wrong. I wanted to help him, so I contributed with what I can, Did I say his form is wrong and or write something negative about it. Even if I said something controversial we can debate on it, but I don't see that you have any right on me to say what I should or should not do.
Regarding the comment, it was an indiscreet comment to some haters. First of all, it seems to me there are not a lot of pro's around here but a bunch of serious hobbyist. And serious hobbyist meant amateurs. I don't see why you take offense on that. Being amateur and acting like a pro seems foolish to some amateurs.
I agree with gaps on perception, for a very long time I felt my form was fine but now through the help of the community, I understand that they aren't so I have to work on them.
Regarding hyperbole, if you check every Youtube video, 99.9% are hyperboles, if you take offense on that, if you are fair it would make sense to stop using youtube next time you see a hyperbole. I don't see any need to be a partisan on that. On this issue I am being pretty straight.
I am not looking for fan following for real serious, I am working on my channel so that some people find it useful. It wouldn't be useful for serious hobbyist who are at higher technical well than me. I respect your thought but there are many normal hobbyist who aren't that technical and i see that they would find my work entertaining.
Regarding riled up, yeah it happens since I am too a human.
Regarding pro's, I am not trying to discredit them or hijack their efforts, like last time if you felt that it was funny, I don't really have any issues.
Since, you pointed this out, i am planning to link my version of Mizutani serve to Mizutani's twitter handle. Lets see how he takes it. Then we will come to know who is having problem whether it is pros or serious hobbyists.
