Great video, Eric. My points never last long enough for me to do anything like that - I loop to kill.

I always enjoy your videos, whether they are inclusive or just highlights. And I don't think you should be too hard on yourself, as soon of those opponents were pretty good players.
Given your generally good footwork and decent strokes, I have to wonder why you don't do better (higher rating). Could it be that you are mixing the retriever style and the chopper style in a way that leaves you vulnerable? A lot of your chops are high, which is something that choppers normally avoid. And maybe too many of your strokes (chops or attacks) are too obvious and to easily anticipated? Just speculating... |

forehand has no power due to lack of weight transfer, no use of legs, going upward or even backward instead of forward forehand retrieve weak lobs/fishes instead of solid counters forehand push often too high and/or dead backhand weak wristed non-chop that floats up dead balls instead of hard, downward vertical brush for low, quality backspin poor conditioning upright/tree and sluggish when tired still wearing horizontal stripe shirts thanks obama |

I know you lost to Alan(junior in blue shirt)and Sophal (wearing headband). Just a note mid level lobs against those 2 generally doesn't work against them. They are to familiar with it. Did you beat Nick? I know you beat Reol (green shirt)

I saw that too and was super impressed. Eric, how about posting that entire match? You had to be playing well for that.

Not.. really.. bit of a ragged match. Lot of errors both ways; not that interesting. I could see flashes of his 2000 counter game coming online if I tried looping at him too much. By contrast he was having an unusually high amount of problems with the LP for that level so midway through I started covering more of the table with it than usual and even pushblocking some to keep it as awkward as possible. I got the impression that he was a normally better player that was just a little out of it then for whatever reason.
Sophal on the other hand was pretty sharp - much improved since last year. |

Ha, ha! Really funny last couple of lines! Well played, Eric. I go to Portland every other summer or so to visit my folks. (Is that the Tualatin Rec Centre?) I always enjoy a great knock there. Must have one with you when I'm visiting next. Btw, what setup are you using in the vid?

It's interesting how fun your points are and how negative you are about your game in general. Would never have thunk it watching it. It's okay to beat someone because they can't loop LP balls. Really. I can't do it, but when I lose to those m***f*** S**b*gs with LP, I shake their hands like I shake everyone else's, accept they outplayed me (since I sometimes put those m***f*** S**b*gs in TT body bags) and put one in the L column.

I noticed that one of the Oregon players (the lobber who benfb calls an attacker) who did well at Nationals last year dumped 100 pts at a tournament in August. Of course, they could just be bad losses but the timing is interesting if he is playing Nationals. And he beat you at that tournament too, Vince. What's up with that?

He (Michael Groom)had a bad tournament at the Seattle Open. I made the mistake of trying to play in the tournament and running it at the same time. He did take down a 2124 player at this tournament. He is not going to Nationals and he doesn't have it in him to dump points. He tries to win every match he plays.

Good. Easier to ask than speculate in private and I am happy you were so emphatic in your rejection of my rumor mongering.

Here is a brief collection of points from my preliminary matches at the JOOLA NA Teams this past weekend!
Still trying to figure out this whole defense thing, although I did not have that many opportunities (opponents who loop everything) to chop in division 6.

Nice highlights. It seems you are constantly looking for the opportunity to attack despite playing defense. That's what happens when I try to play this style. I think a purer form of chopping is more focused on tactics to cause the opponent to make errors. Some pushes or chops when you're close to the table are not so difficult to attack if you're opponents are higher level. In any case, I'm impressed with how your shake hand fh loop has developed from a penholder not long ago.

Thanks, and yeah I missed you again, would've loved to hit with you!
Against khmd, it was saturday afternoon - our matches got delayed into the lunch break hour I believe so everyone else was already done around us.

Man, I wish I could play like you - winning all the points! Seriously, you played really well in the highlights. Now you need to raise the consistency a bit and you'll be golden. |

Fatt, it is actually quite the opposite! The immune ox classic is asymetrical, using a soft and very slow wood for the backhand and a harder allround+ wood for the FH. I also only use short pips, not long pips.
I actually don't mind pushing the balls high (as long as they land deep near the white line) because a lot of my opponents misread the spin/no-spin variations from my short pips pips on both chops and pushes. At this level i almost have to tempt them into attacking otherwise it would be a never ending push war haha Edited by schen - 12/07/2015 at 9:22pm |

The Return of the Penhold
No highlight video this time, just the full-short-form matches of the toughest three players I played in the February LATTA Open . Finally after three long years I've brought my rating above 2000 for the first time! It has been three months since I returned to penhold. vs 2225 vs 2089 vs 2258 Onward to 2200!

Congrats, Steve. I knew you would join that class of annoying penhold servers from CA that piss me off at the Nationals. Hopefully, I can make it in July and we can do battle again sometime.

Hi, Ringer84
What software did you use to make the gif file? The one I used can not produce large photo dimension like you did. |
