@lordperf It costs $4 for non-members and I believe that it's $2 for members (not sure).. The club is open on Mondays and Fridays 6 - 10 PM but not always.. The club is on 3401 S Conway Rd, Orlando, FL 32812

For such a high rank player, you do not seem to be very good. I don't know of it's just me or if it was because of how the match went out, but I've seen people with 1500 rank play a better and more intense game that what is shown in this video.

[grandsportc3]

@lemonphantom I'm actually higher rated now.. I'm now 2212 but have been 2225 a few months ago.. My game doesn't look impressive, Based on the videos, most players would estimate me at 1700 - 1800 level but when they play me, they'll figure out why I'm 2200.. I've been above 2000 rating since 10 years and this year, I've been most of the year over 2200.. Check my rating history on usatt.org

Don't forget that I'm not an attacker and defensive styles often don't look impressive as they are slow

[lemonphantom]

@grandsportc3 I'm sorry. I'm not going to argue because you can probably beat me any day. I was just wondering because I have seen my uncle play (he's a chopper) and my older brother (usually blocks) and they have a more impressive game, but they're about 1500. Maybe it's because there was no big rallies in this game.

[grandsportc3]

@lemonphantom My game has always looked like that. My game's #1 goal is to get my opponents to make unforced errors.. I take the ball very early off the bounce to mess up my opponents timing. People usually don't attack hard and frequently against me as it works in my favor. My style won't win any style points but I've been effective with what I'm doing for quite some time. Check out some of my other vidoes.. There are better matches than this one..

@grandsportc3 hey man i really enjoy your play..i just started playing with long pips, im enjoying the game much more... i just wish my pips could be more deceptive...i play with hallmark phoenix..tremendous amount of control very little deception...anyways..im about your size i have great form but my movement is just like yours..im about 1800 at the moment...im about to test myself with this type of play in the NOLA tournament on 9/16...keep on posting..

i think you are better than in your old vids, but you should train backhand block on topspin, because it seems so that you can't return them well.

the most balls, which you blocked with your pimples, became too high. And a good player would shoot all these balls.

for a pimpleblocker at the table is the (chop)block against topspin the most important shot.

[grandsportc3]

@therasmusrockt My problem is footwork. I'm not in a good position for the backhand block as I try too much to cover the forehand with my backhand.. However, I did play a lot better yesterday at the club.. I went unbeaten and even beat a former state champion (whom I've never beaten before) twice (3:1 and 3:0). The difference was that for once, I got 7+ hours of sleep which is very rare.. I'm usually tired when I play at the club and don't move well. Yesterday, I moved well and beat everyone!
