.....30 mins for me on RPB loop and 30 mins for my partner

A little less than 4 mins edited ....

I've seen you trying to get people to your Penhold thread. Hahaha.

A few pieces of info for you:

1) practice shakahand BH. It will help you get RPB.
2) practice self hitting shake BH and RPB it will help you feel what the stroke and the contact.

Next time I am at a table I will try and film short footage of me self hitting shake BH and RPB.

Then we can see how many points you need to spot me when I play penhold. [emoji2]

===

Oh wait, now I need to post my words of wisdom from different philosophies:

"Way down deep, I'm really shallow!"

"Boom! And you're there! Boom, Boom....Really there!"

"My style is no style!"

"Ask not what you can do for your country: ask instead what your country can do for you!"

The real question is, which of those are real and which did I just bend into something that made me laugh!

LOLO LOL

PH dying, need to find some PHers

I know at least 2 are real, 1 not sure without googling, 1 you made up.I believe lol

I posted 2 vid's IIRC of me SH BH but not SH BH loop... I have not had a chance to self hit, but as I walk around I do both the tick/check mark SH bh loop motion for SH and rpb empty handed lol... also do a rpb loop that's just slight wrist and up ... lol at me. .. having fun!

Thank you Carl as always!

@OSPH

the angle on the vid is a bit strange and I can't tell for sure whats good and whats wrong.

The main *impression* is that you are too tense. relax a bit more

The timing looks pretty good to me. Touch as well.

The balance looks bad, you look to be on one foot only. That looks to me as your #1 problem.

Try to keep feet both feet on the same line, keep equal weight on them, and hit the ball in front of you. Don't forget those micro footwork adjustments as well. They make the whole difference. If you do so, i think you can have a (very) good RPB rather quickly

Hopefully this is not one of the ones you think is real.

"Ask not what you can do for your country: ask instead what your country can do for you!'

Because, I have done something to that one to make it wrong. But you are right two are real and at least one is made up.

I will give one hint. Of the two real ones that are left, one is from Bruce Lee.

 

[ttmonster]

Of course the last one is Carl trying to mimic the real Donald ...

went to the club today. I didn't play Wed,Thur,Fri so i was really in need LOL

but i went without my usual buddies, and it was not easy to find partners. after 30mns of wait, i found a guy just to practise FH to FH. I could try some new tips that my coach told me about foot balance and transferring weight. I got some good (new) sensations there but focusing too much on it, meant i wasn't moving always so well, and also i had more problems than usual with my swing.

With the emphasis on transferring weight on the left foot and FORWARD, i manage to get more power (and deepness) with my FH *BUT* i get carried forward a bit too much and my replacement is slower. so its good to make a powerful attack if the opponent will be a bit late on it else I'm exposing myself.

then i played with an usual buddy, a leftie, we just practised likes of FH to FH, BH to BH or FH to BH etc..and then i was serving with my BH, he tried to flick it with his BH and free... It was fun, and good practise for my BH serves, blocks and even loop.

Lastly played with some young girls, the better one was a chopper. Good practice for me. Some loops were really good and better than usual but still too many mistakes on this side. BH attacks on the other hand was more satisfying.

Hi guys, haven't been posting for a while, as I was sent to a rural town for my placement for 1 month, which meant no TT, and very limited internet.

I just came back yesterday, and went to play some TT at the club. I didn't lose my touch too badly. I was able to play rallies quite well, the only thing I lost was my backhand banana flip.

My knees were also fine surprisingly, considering I have not played TT for 1 month and yesterday I played for 2.5 hr.


I see you are starting to play RPB now OSP! Soon you will need to go easy on me!

Haha, lolz!
Oki, I realised the training is not tomorrow (but I am so anxious that I wish it to be), but tuesday.. so..
I will think about recording it, if I manage to do so, I will post here

"Lau Tsu once said: The A-Hole to be destroyed is the ego. When the ego has been mastered there will be no A-Hole and no junk player. Therefore young padwan, master yourself and your opponent will cease to be Joo Se Hyuk and will always be Liu Shiwen so it will at least be fun to get an ass whipping!"

Wait, that isn't the quote OldSchool used! [emoji2]

Monster has a good point. And the tips from guys like Der and NL will definitely help you beat him or beat him worse. Then there will be the stuff guys like me and Archo say which are to make you laugh and to ignore.

So never misunderestimate the goon squad. Especially when your chance to face off against the girl of your dreams is at stake!

excuse me Carl , Disclaimer : Dan will certainly appreciate this nitpicking ...

Even though I am no "native english speaker" .... I think the correct english should be "Archo and I" .. and it took me 3 edits to get it right lolz at me ... and also , you forgot to include me as well in that list of unsolicited advisers ...

Hahaha. Grammatically you are indeed correct and you can look at other places where I have used things like "Monster and me" correctly where many would have blundered with "Monster and I". Like, "Between Monster and I" which just makes me cringe.

But here, the reason I put "ME" first, is I didn't want to put Archo under bus without "ME" in front of him. Hahahahahhah.

So it was actually 100% conscious. And I thought about it for a while before breaking the rules.

Let's see if Dan can figure out the important grammatical information at play so he can ban me. Since I've called him on his use of to, too and two so many times. Hahahahaha.

Oki, about to share some challenger series videos if you like..
If not, ignore this post

I really like Moregardhs attitude.. He seems to really like himself playing

David mostly easily beats Huzjak, but lately Huzjak seems to find something to even beat David.
He beat him in one final few weeks ago, and this time, well, watch for yourself..

Is it just me or has Ma Long's forehand stroke gotten shorter lately?

It could even be that as you are getting better you are seeing how ML varies his stroke based on the circumstances.
