I'm desperately working on serve recovery myself. You were slow on this point. You are probably slow every time. I don't say this to be mean but it's something to work on that will help your results.

The other player here took the ball a little earlier than you are likely used to and forced a push from you. Not much point in practicing drills all day if you can't be ready to execute them after your own serve. One can almost chart serve recovery time and rating. It's pretty interesting, I've watched lots of matches from this point of view now and may actually make a video about it. I may call it 2020 RTTS01 - serve recovery.

FYI: My definition of being ready means being in a neutral position by the time the ball starts bouncing up on the other side of the table. This is the soonest time the receiver can touch the ball and the moment the server needs to start moving for the next shot.

I know BRS will enjoy this post.

I like your post wilkinru!

Even more exciting, both my aliexpress boondoggles cleared customs in the US of A! One is in ATL and the other is in New Jersey or smth.

Lucky you!

For me, giving money to Aliexpress is like giving it to an international airline in 2020...that's the last you every hear of it.

My H3 neo(my new love) made it in a month....the balls I ordered are uh being returned? It's the wild wild east.

Where, oh where, has Brett Clarke gone? Is he sheltering in place while watching every point of CNT Mock Olympics in super slo-mo?

You have to quarantine a bit when you get into Australia since it is largely covid19 free.

Exactly! People who are in quaratine should be on the forums 24*7. 25*8 even!

No matter how hard you try to change your stroke in real time, it always looks the same to you. That should be the first law of technical improvement in TT.

In my mind it's entirely different. I guess that's what matters in a way. It feels good in a match, even when moving it feels OK. I was struggling with lower balls (dead or top) and in my mind I'm lower the tip of the paddle and that's getting a bit more spin.

The old guys at the club cant really block it anymore.

We're about to hit 500 pages and our glorious leader is nowhere to be found.

Welp here's my Aug backhand update. Here is the description:
I thought this would be quite different looking from July's backhand but it's remarkably similar. Changes I could barely see: Not as below the table and more open on contact. These small changes have reduced errors considerably. For some reason I feel like this backhand handles lower balls much better also. Maybe it's just in my brain.

I cant unsee this backhand. Somehow I thought I was doing this. Hah.
