Ty Hoff is a beast

When I was young I used the Seemiller type racket grip.I was a fair player who cleaned up at the local tournaments. But... as the competition got better, the disadvantages were all too apparent.I just could not beat a player of equal skill. You have very quick forehand and quick changeover to the backhand,but with very limited control or power. I eventually went to a standard grip at about age 22,but my game never really developed any further.

question to all "twiddlers," flat-hitters and anti-spin players: how do you live with yourselves? can you actually sleep at night, knowing what your styles look like? turn from your evil ways while you still can...while you still have a vestige of decency and can call your soul your own....

Seemiller was indeed a good player but hardly world class. Would have thought that Marty Reisman being #1 seed for the 1954(?) World Championships would make him the highest ranked US player by a very, very long way.

A grip for flat-hitters. Too stiff for looping...
-
There's a very good reason why nobody uses a "Seemiller" grip. It's a specialized grip that uses the full potential of anti-spin type rubbers by twiddling the paddle. It's similar to a one sided j-penhold. As afore mentioned, it's a "specialized" grip for him and he's really good at it.

@ThatGuyAgen yes like a check mark
thumb & index ARENT on the handle but rather the rubber or paddle face
-
True dat, 5 time US champ when they had legit world class players like the Boggans.
-
he dosen't look to tough lol
-
so are both the index finger and the thumb straight? i think it seems like they should be
Wasn't Seemiller the highest ranked USA Player of all time? If so, all thumbs down are a jealous joke. Dare to be different. Not everyone has to stand back 10-ft and loop like a topspin junky. All of you Euro table tennis trashcans need to wake up. 1990 is long gone. The Chinese fast attack players have reclaimed all the top slots. It will take an innovator like Mr. Seemiller to rock the pong world! Go Dan Go!!

From what I have been able to figure out with the help of the About dot com Table Tennis forum board, Dan Seemiller is playing Robert Shahnazari in the over 30 Singles at the 2006 nationals.
