I don't think izra and I disagree at all. Our different degrees of emphasis might simply be a mental bias which doesn't amount to much in practice. After all, I have been bashing my students on the head this past week about lifting the ball off the table by swinging upwards with open paddles. I have told them that they must either try to dominate the ball with force or dominate it with spin. Most of them try to use slow touch and weak spin, which is the worst combination in the world.
This and what follows is some pretty good stuff. That process of getting someone to sort something out for themselves is good teaching whereas Archie's idea of just doing the work for the person.....well, I think how you let this unfold was quite well done.
What is it that I am doing?Archie, go back and read Izra's comments. If you can figure out what he is saying, you may learn something. It is obvious that Izra is a teacher. And it is obvious, you are still doing the same old same old.
But I will confess, you do provide plenty of entertainment for the forum.

That's for sure. I'm still on the fence whether Archosaurus is a very subtle troll who does this for sh*t and giggles or he's just your typical 'know-it-all' teenager, willing to dispense advance on a very wide area of subjects. Dunning-Kruger effect comes to mind too. A lot.
I was not referring to THAT particular post, but rather overall body of work. Your last comment on chopper thread is a good example of this, IMHO. I got the impression you don't have exposure to good playing partners and up till now played with a dead premade, so what are you basing your 'how to play choppers' advice on?
Time will take care of this - when I was 18 I thought I knew how world works and most of others( parents included) were ignorant. Needless to say, few years later my opinions changed.
How clearly do I have to spell out "This is not my idea, I'm just bringing it here"?
It is a very funny video. Whenever I talked with a coach or an advanced player about arcing the FH trajectory, I was told something like that: NO, NEVER DO IT, JUST NEVER, LISTEN TO ME, NEVER EVER, JUST SIMPLY NEVER, FORGET ABOUT IT.
