Hahaha, i'm quite sure you're just posting those vids to make all of us feel secure and next you'll strike with full force.
Can't fool me, Sir. I've seen your true skillz show up every now and then. You've been disguising them quite well, but a trained eye won't be fooled so easily.
[Emoji6]
Thank you

Here's something to think about:

Could you guys be basically talking of the same TT god, just called different in different corners of the TT-world?

Ok, that was a bit off i must admit. Hope i didn't offend religious people or anyone else. If so i apologize in advance.

Although true, my 'god' was at least a player that started with a 'g' ;-)

If you had posted Oh My Gergely or Oh My GáborGergely you would get no complaints from me ... or any other TT player with a "G"

LOL -- i'm such a geek... sorry all!

and your flimsy excuse of "the League is over, i forgot to film my matches" is almost as flimsy as Boogar's 'i forgot to film my matches'

you only show a brief robot training clip ... but chose not to show your true TT domination in the league with all the winning shots ;-)

LOLOLOL

 

[ttmonster]

okay I will follow your rules , Oh my Great Zhang Jike !

You win, you win!

The hindu are historically adept at handling , appeasing and worshiping multiple gods , as they say in hindu philosophy , dualism and monism are just 2 sides of the same coin , ultimately its all Bramha and anybody can achieve oneness with the Bramha by sacrificing the "me" ... I was just trying to help OSPH attain the realization that the Penhold God is not that different from the shakehand god , neither is there any difference between Waldner , Wang Liqin or even the latest incarnation the "Great Zhang Jike" ...

Tbh i really ask every now and then if someone of my team could film but most of my teammates are always so focussed on the games they simply forget or come up with excuses like little memory space or low battery.
Maybe I should try Carls recommendation by using a shoe instead of depending on others.
I'll definitely have to get some footage when my friend Dave (from the first vid) is around again. Very likely that you might witness a serious beat-up. We know each other for almost fourty years, and after all these years i only managed to beat him once. All i could steal most of the times was a set or two. But only one win for me and in that day he just recovered from a serious illness.

But I really need to see where he scores the most and where i get my few points. Although i know he unleashes those killer spins to my ellbow or plays so crazy angles that I can hardly manage to get my bat behind the ball.

I'm talking too much again. You'll see. He's good and i'm wack. But at least i'm working on it.
Most likely within the next few weeks.

Dialogue from my former all-time favorite movie (is now my 2nd all-time fave movie, FTR director Johnnie To's "The Mission" is my all-time fave, although his "Exiled" may be #1 soon):



Ho Tse Sung: Do you believe there's a God?
Mark Gor: Yes. I am God. You're one. A god can be human. A god is someone who controls his destiny.
Ho Tse Sung: Sometimes, there's things you can't control.
Mark Gor: You win some, you lose some.

I've propped my phone against a water bottle on table, have had it propped against water bottle inside a locker, ... sometimes not a great angle, but it shows something.

Seems like your club is like a school gym with bleachers ... not sure if you want to risk putting camera on the bleachers and filming that way.

Regardless, you know we all joke with each other on this thread, so i am looking forward to your videos if you can get them.

[being NextLevel voice]

If you didn't film it, it didn't happen.

Thank you ttmonster! I have his Hero with a Thousand Faces on my long 'to read' list.

I know of his Hero's Journey and been meaning to read Campbell. Thank you for reminder!

Just to ensure that OSPH does not renounce his family with all this talk of salvation and his family realizes they would have rather had him play table tennis , I will refer you to the counter argument of the modern humanist who travelled the entire arc of bondage to freedom to bondage in his works ... which lasted for a 70 years , in the words of the "Great" Rabindranath Tagore ...

Deliverance is not for me in renunciation

by Rabindranath Tagore


Deliverance is not for me in renunciation. I feel the embrace

of freedom in a thousand bonds of delight.

Thou ever pourest for me the fresh draught of

thy wine of various colors and fragrance,

filling this earthen vessel to the brim.

My world will light its hundred different lamps with thy

flame and place them before the altar of thy temple.

No, I will never shut the doors of my senses.

The delights of sight and hearing and touch

will bear thy delight.

Yes, all my illusions will burn into illumination of joy,

and all my desires ripen into fruits of love.

I played today 3 hours left-handed, no losses, except when spotting 8 points per game to 1600 level player, did win 2 of 3.

Does it mean you are around 2100 left-handed?

Not sure, that player has some trouble with long pips which I have on my BH. Person did finish above other junk rubber peers in a club tourney which I won. I haven't played in a sanctioned tournament yet, hope to within next six months.

I guess my point was that if you are beating 1600 player while playing left-handed AND spotting them 8 points (which is a lot), implies that your level is quite high (how well do you do when you are playing right-handed, presumably your normal style?). Pretty remarkable for someone who have not played sanctioned tournament yet.

Unless of course 1600 was just a guess... True story from another forum: "I think I am 1600-1700. *goes to first tournament*. My best loss was 1:3 to a 1100 player... ".

Well, there is nothing wrong with that if the "1100 player" was a kid who played the last tournament three years ago and then had been coached by a former pro all that time
