    What is the greatest compliment someone has given you?

    "nicest sportsman i ve ever seen" after i gave my opponent ball in Hand in a final after i made a foul which nobody was able to see. even the referee said the same. His warm words and the following applause was far more worth than the 1st place i missed. Gesendet von meinem SM-N9005 mit Tapatalk

    touch your chest and not

    Hm- maybe a matter of vocabulary now (for me)-- isn t the point where you have the highest acceleration also the point where you have the highest velocity? thank you in advance Bob :-)

    Elbow drop or not?

    I agree and understood 100 % Fran :-) I m also a *lover* of the stroke without elbow drop-- but every human is individual- and so their stroke is. Makes no difference if I for myself prefer a stroke *without* an elbow drop-- but if i see that a student will have an easier life with a slight...

    Elbow drop or not?

    HI FRan :-) i really like your description- great! I like to say, that the most important thing should be is to be aligned perfectly so if your elbow *drops*..it wouldn t really matter that much (just following naturally your stroke movement forwards). IN that case ( being alinged perfectly )...

    Center Ball

    Hi there, first: if english helps or needed...of course you should use it (before someone starting a discussion about this with a typical "yes but.." response :-) In my opinion hitting center ball is the way to go- first develope a repeatable straight stroke which allows you to send Whitey...

    Some already gave good response on this topic. If it s about banks and kicking it s always very much about expirience-- when people talk here about "feel" they often mean "using their knowledge from expirience"- how to compare the reference points they have with the existing circumstances like...
