Thanks, Vihito - yeah, I sure hope you're right about the name/gender thing. 

Had to update profile and include photo, Pondus,  but I wish I could play at her level. I can't though recognize penguin's gender.

This is the most recent video I have of myself playing a buddy at a tournament. I'm about 2000 and he was about 2100. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPcTMjxf0xQ

I'm not sure why, they load up for me. I'm not sure how to embed them or I would.

Edit* Ok I got them fixed I think.

i had similar problem this forum software doesnt like more than one embed in one post for some reason

lildudes,

Do you still play? I haven't seen any posts from you recently. Last time I recall you had an injury. Are you doing better?

Awesome thanks for getting those to embed and work properly. For some reason I can't load them on my ipad, only my computer....hmmm.

As far as the videos, the first one was the most recent one, but I was coming off a knee injury and not moving very well. I won a lot of points by must blocking.

I was much more mobile and in shape in the second video, but the quality of my opponents wasn't quite as high so it makes me look better than I am when I can just loop everything that comes to my forehand. My forehand was pretty strong then, very consistent. Now, I have really evened out, and developed a much better backhand. The biggest thing I lacked back in those videos was power. I'm not a big guy, 5'6''. But since last year I've been doing a lot of bodybuilding and put on a bit of muscle so I am able to hit the ball harder than I used to, but I'm still by no means very powerful haha. The main thing keeping me from that 2100 level or so is my serve and serve return. They are fairly poor, but when I don't really get to train at all, I understand it. I used to train with a coach 3 days a week, now I get no training and just play at a club here in Kentucky every once in awhile.

I'll be in the table tennis scene more come winter time! I still love the sport and will never give it up for good. I sure do miss competing.

Pretty nifty change in direction at 1:35

Before looking at my video, here are my excuses for looking so bad.

<1000 in that video.

Tinykin those motions although abrupt aren't slow at all, you had to be pretty muscular before?
