MYTT Aussie Guy

[big ears]

So who is this Aussie guy who beat Henzell?

 cmon you Aussie detectives, who is this guy?

[speedplay]

I'm pretty sure he is a troll filling us all with his lies. If he had in fact beaten Henzell in the 1999 Australian Open, I'm sure he would have provided some kind of evidence of this.

Would be kind of funny if William dropped by and found the tread, perhaps our Aussie friends can make that happen?

[pingpongrob]

I spoke with Someone of some importance and was told that William was not a Top Top player back in 1999, so his statement could be true. Apparantly William became a force to be recond with in about 2001, 2002. A bit like Roger Federer, one minute just a player, next a superstar.
I doubt if William will ever post on this Forum as he works for the opposition - Aussie Table Tennis.

[speedplay]

But he is a member at OOAK and I do think he has an account over at Mytt as well.

I still doubt this guy, cause even if William wasn't fully developed back then, he was probably already a very good player and reading posts from Ladiesman69, I've never thought of him as a skilled player. But this is of course all a guessing game.

You could be right, I'm not saying that ladiesman69 is good, we dont even know what his real name is. If we can get that info, then we could do some checks.

Can we take anyone seriously, whose avatar looks like he's dressed in a large condom?

He strikes me as credible as "Sid" with his convex and concave loops

"Blahness" isn't far behind Sid either, when he posts drivel like this :

In chinese forums, there's been a similar discussion of these 2 types of forehand. The wrist mechanism of producing spin is completely different, causing the outward appearance of the stroke to be different as well. For those who understand Chinese, the key is whether the wrist is 外展(bent outwards) or not.

Now as an illustration: Lift your computer mouse upwards with just your wrist while using it normally. That's bending your wrist outwards.(手腕外展） Bring it down the other direction as far as possible and it's called bending your wrist inwards(手腕内收）

I've practiced this by following instructions in Chinese forums and it's definitely not a "brush loop". It looks as if they brush due to the fact cocking your wrist outwards makes the blade face more horizontal to the ground. But when they hit the ball it's almost always perpendicular to the ground.

To practice this is very easy, Here's what I did: with your wrist bent outwards holding a mouse,  turn it left and right like a windshield wiper. (like saying hello!) That is the wrist mechanism for producing spin.

Then turn your lower arm 90 degrees clockwise to make the motion go upwards. Now hold a bat and try to spin the ball with just your wrist. As you get better at producing spin, use your arm more. And most importantly , relax!

I practiced it in front of a curtain until i can get the ball to spin very violently with just using my whole arm(no waist rotation yet). And by violently i mean the spin will cause the ball to roll up to the top of the curtain after hitting it and you can hear the ball make a pssst sound.

I just learnt this during the last 3 mths summer holiday. I'll post a video after I go back to australia.

The phrase that comes to mind is " Some mothers do have them"

PeterC, that is indeed a very strange comment. I have the contacts to get the results if we could just get his name.

[speedplay]

LOL!

Great find PeterC, laughed my ass off at this. I love the way he says he found it on a Chinese forum, cause then it simple have to be true, cause they are the best players that exists.

Those who have been around, say, more than at least one year, have enough wisdom to sort out the bullshit. Amazingly, a surprisingly number of individuals do not use a shred of this and are vulnerable to any line of crap. That is how companies get away with selling products no one really needs. This has been, and will continue to be.

You're right it was a strange comment; but if you read his posts, you'll realise it's not just his avatar, that's a bit eccentric. I'm having trouble trying to figure out if he's a troll or just someone with a strange sense of humour.

Regarding blahness, his style of writing reminds me of Sid and it does make me wonder if blahness is another one of his pseudonyms.

I did figure out that what he was trying to describe; namely the fade and hook, but his paragraph :

also made me realise why Big Ears told him a home truth; i.e. he was talking a load of rubbish.

 cmon you Aussie detectives, who is this guy?

My guess is Trevor Brown

[pingpongrob]

My guess is Trevor Brown

Trevor is Better than that. Trevor was living permanently in France at one stage - and I believe he is still there. He had a french girl friend. I have spoken to Trevor & his dad, and they both sounded like level headed people. I couldn't imagine that William would have been his prized moment. I had personally seen him win some good matches here in Australia. I would have thought that their were bigger fish to catch in France.

After I read the 'Chinese forum' comment, I spent three days looping like F**k into my dining room curtains, I actually got the ball to climb the curtains, and hold position at the top (making a pssssssshhhhhzzzzzrrrrrrttttssssssspsssshhhhh sound) for long enough so i could get to the fridge, pour another beer, go for a wiz and light a cigar up, when I returned the spin was only just dying off and the ball slowly decended into my waiting hands. The only drawback is that I've now got scorchmarks on my nylon curtains from the friction. Those Chinese forum guys really know their stuff, but if they bump in to my Wife they will be receiving some 'rolling pin to the head' treatment.

^ROFLMAOPMP!

Yes, the guys at these Chinese forums are really full of knowledge, I'm glad they decided to share some with us. I tried to do this as well, but I got so much spin on the ball, so it caught the curtains and rolled it up like a big fat cigar! At first I was laughing, but when I noticed the friction had generated so much heat that the curtains actually was burning, I got really worried! My women got pissed when she found out, but that was a good thing, cause I used that to put out the fire

[big ears]

ROFLWL, my game has reached a new level since I've been training with curtains, but NEVER mess with these training techniques without prior advice from a Chinese forum, I was foolish, thought I could develop my training further and tried practicing my chop on the dining room carpet, this worked a treat in Theory, the ball was leaving the familiar 'skid marks' of high velocity friction as it stopped then shot back towards me at a frightning speed. But when I applied this technique at a recent match I got thrashed, lost all of my games easily. If you train with a carpet, players will walk all over you, only use approved Chinese forum items of household fabrics in your training, or you are asking for trouble. This morning I am b/hand looping into a setee.

[speedplay]

ROFL!

I'll try to remember to not practice with a carpet

Now, I feel so stupid, because here I've been thinking that the Chinese are superior because of their hard training, with thousands and thousands of hour hitting fh-fh drills to reach perfection, but now I know, this videos have only been made to foll us to spend our life on pointless drills, when all the real progress comes from reading Chinese TT forums and use what ever household product we can lay our hands on.

Right now, I'm working on my serve by serving in to the toilet to see if I can reverse the way the water flushes. Once I can do this, I was told that my serve would scare the crap out of any one. Seems logical to me...

Funny you should say that Big ears, One of the So Called Senior Coaches down under, use to tell me to do that, and funny enough I got walked all over. Thats why I stopped doing it. This is the same coach that would always argue the opposite of whatever I said, If I said the Ball was White, he would say its grey, If I then agreen with him, he would say no its white. Used to be a good friend, Now not even an aquantaince.

HOF thread stuff.

[speedplay]

He have decided to share his initials, N.O, or perhaps this is just his funny was of saying no to share them? He claims he have been recruited to play in a French team this season, but no info about which team or what division.

To be honest, some of his later posts does show some signs of understanding, or, it might be that I feel this way because I happen to agree with him? This is the comments on how to play against a defensive player, probably more of a retriever then a chopper, and I find his advice to be similar to my own advices and different from a lot of other people's advices over at Mytt.

The funniest advice I've read so far is to play defensive against defenders... Not to sure about this, why would I want to challenge them by playing their own style against them, since this probably is a style they master pretty well, or, at least better then most offensive players at their own level.
