Hi Olivier - That's great news.   I'll see you at our tournament in two months - hopefully we'll get a chance to hit few balls or even play against one each other.

I fly in on 4/24 late at night... I'll be at the tournament on Saturday morning.. Not sure what time my first event will start but I will be around before and after it.. I believe that the only event I will have on Saturday will be the Over 40's and I should be available for practice before and after that.
This time, I booked my flight back for Monday, so I won't have to leave after advancing in the U-2350 event like last time...

Had a great tournament this Saturday.. I came in 4th in the Championship Giant RR with a 7:3 record.. Had a tough match with Joe... Had him 10:8 in game 3 when it was 1:1 in games.. He ended up winning game 3 and then beat me in 4 but if I would have made one of my 3 game balls, the match could have turned out differently..

Bogey's reaction was almost just as great in making this so popular!

Kit is a friend of mine.. I spoke with him about it about 3 times today. I asked him if he practiced it and he said that he didn't. He went through some Salsa lessons in recent months and the turnaround is a salsa move. He realized that that he wouldn't be able to hit a backhand from his position without pulling a muscle, so he tried a btb with that salsa move and it worked...
The video as also a interview with him was posted on the usatt site..

You're missing out a public service opportunity to do a reddit AMA (Q&A) for TT, nevermind the internet-points/karma.

I once made a behind the wheelchair shot in a tournament. My doubles partner was Andre Scott and our opponents hit to my wide backhand. Andre couldn't get out of my way so I lunged behind his wheelchair with my back to the table, extended my arm beyond his chair, and made a backhand counter for a winner. No camera, unfortunately.

When I told him that I know both players, and that bogeyhunter is a very good personal friend of mine, my colleague's reaction was as if I was best friends with LeBron James - priceless, lol.
Ok, just got links from couple of non TT playing friends. I understand!

Its a fluke ! but so what ? I have seen loads of this kind of thing over the years, there is far more chance these days of it being caught on tape, so I'm sure we will see more. 
It is not quite the same as this;

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3_T59Kbu2jI
 where a stroke is intentionally played to get out of the crap, more of a spin round and bat just happening to be there, in a one in a million strike.
