Don t quit... focus more on having fun and don t equate wining (or losing) with your advancement. I fell in to this trap reflecting on the Cary Cup. When you let go you will probably feel better!

I m not here to shoot burning arrows or heat seeking missiles at you. If you love your set-up and prefer to keep the equipment status quo, then that s your decision. I prefer a different set-up but that s just me. Do you think you might want to just take a break from competition and get back to having fun? I quit competing years ago in sanctioned tournaments. Now I just hit for fun and I m enjoying the game more today than anytime ever in the past. I m playing more relaxed and for reasons I did when I started. |

I think you got the message now - The idea of serious competition is not working for me. I will try to play lots more and keep developing a game toward the higher levels.
Fruit loop holds the same opinion. I wonder though what fruit thinks now that I switched to the tbs? All I know is I can t smash as well, I will have to concentrate more with the extra dwell. |

OK, lets forget the Tenergy thing for a moment. You claim your oppenant played out of his skin, This happens sometimes when they have nothing to lose. Its happened to me numorous times. At first I used to get angry, Now I just look back and see what actually happened and do something about it so it doesnt happen again. 4 weeks ago, I lost to a lower ranked player 9-11 in the fifth, I should have beaten him with 1 hand tied behind my back - was I upset - sh*t yeah, how did I let it happen - easy. This is what seperates the men from the Boys - Fitness - Concentration - Skill - Dedication. (feel free to add a few more). So after cooling down, I reflected on my loss, thought about what I did wrong. The next time I played him he got 2,2 & 3. Giving up is not the answer, Figure the problem. Us Australians dont give up - we rise to the Challange. As for pimpled players - they love our game, they thrive on us making mistake, Take you game to another level and tell your self that I can out rally them. Then go out and do it, This might require you revisiting your equipment selection - especially if your current setup is a little to fast. John - I ve been there and done that. Please No Offense - Here to help... |

I don t know the structure of cometitive play in Aus, so I m speculating slightly here. It appears though from what I ve read, there are isolated pockets of TT in Aus, where competition is limited to the locality due to the large distance between pockets. So players of a locality tend to play most of their competition play against players they are familliar with.
Then they enter a tournament and play players they are unfamilliar with in unfamilliar condidions and percieve that they are playing badly, when infact they are not, its just that they have been taken out of a comfort zone all of a sudden, there is a player the other end of the table who they can t read, and don t know his strengths and weaknesses or how to handle his serves, I ve seen this time and time again. So Boz, I suspect you are not playing bad, you just need to play more On the circuit
and learn that you just can t play as dynamic in these conditions as you can in your locality where everything is familliar.

Rob - thanks you finally sound like there is more to your interest in my well being than bashing tenergy and ramming your view down everybodies throat as usual. I will not review my equipment thanks.
Apw you are right a small country with lots of small little areas or posckets of great players which become incestuous leads to nothing great. We have a small population and it will always bring nothing special in sports dominated with high populated countries. I am happy today, I stuck on some long pimples chopped against my robot and thought f**k this sh*t. I will stick my tenergy back on thanks. block and chop all you want you mug! |

Hay Boz, don t worry about the results as you only really need to think about how good you were 2 years ago... I would say you are better and you now play at a higher level and what happens is that you have come up to a level and flatened out (it happens to us all) you mainly play against inverted players so pips is always different but not harder, at my last tounament I had my best game against a anti player who creamed me in the first two games and I just thought ok .. Im going to play ugly and get back in and I just played the percentages, attacked his anti and focused on good serves, I didnt enjoy it but won hahaha, then late in the Day I played a LP player and my mate said go all out and I lost easily which was dumb. So set some goals about playing the weird,pips,anti,dead rubber style players as much as you can, learn about thier tactics, watch other play them,vid yourself,talk to others that have played them. even talk to the pips players and ask advice

smackman i know exactly what you mean.
the main way he beat me was my inpatience which to me came from a sense of boredom. I knew i could keep pushing and blocking and just doing safe shot till one was exactly right. Ultimately I need to practise smashin g with my tbs against the last guy in particular because I missed like 10 smashes at least. |

Look who s calling the kettle black - have a look at yourself John. If I had to quote all the Tenergy pushing you have done I think that the MyTabletennis.net server would get overloaded. But please show me where I try and shove equipment down peoples throats. As for not reviewing your equipment - it is obvious that you have already done this at least only partially - maybe think about what you write before doing so. |

I can find a hand full of times you have said I pushed tenergy down your throat Rob. I did not invite you in here to come in and bring up the topic either. Have a look at your first post which you conveniently edited, and you said I was pushing tenergy down your throat for absolutely no reason. This has happended like about in 10 posts this year.
Same terms you use for no reasons I can see except you hate the new kid on the block for what reasons? You act nice but you always add the same stuff in at the end about me ramming tenergy down your throat and then you do a whole horses for courses thing about roxon. I have tried numerous occasions to just ignore your aggressive attacking posts, and I did here as much as I could but you keep coming back to get me for having my own website trying to support my own rubber equipment needs. I am not a big company Rob. I am a small low level player that believes that the best equipment belongs to everybody not just the professionals. By continually attacking me you acieve nothing neither do I. I have written nothing directed at you since I wrote the poll about the Tensors Can t be beat poll. Why have suddenly started to attack me again? Is it that I am in australia trying to make 10 rubbers a year out of my own website? I can tell you openly I have earnt in the last 3 months out of my website a whopping, get this!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 2 butterfly Tenergy 05 rubbers in all the work I have done and invested. Cheers mate, keep bashing me for no reason. Got to support the bros right? |

Firstly John - I am not bashing you, just making you aware of your statements. Secondly please show me where I ram Roxon Down your throat. I m such an EJ that I change my rubbers on a fortnightly basis - currently using Andro Hexer+ on an M-6 Blade. Thirdly please show me where I conveiniently edited my post. And if I did, it would have only been to correct my poor spelling. |

funny that because I was making you aware of your statements.

this thread had nothing to do with my website and I didn t even bring tenergy up, your imagination of someone sticking a rubber down your throat is what brought this up. |

Rob I am not stupid, I understand when you are actually having a go at me. There is really no reason for you to attack me or to make me look stupid. I have never stuck a rubber down someones throat.
Please stop attacking me with this line, I thought you were over this. |

Your above quote should anwer most of your questions John, See you were the one that started all of this. You got owned, but you were thinking about what William Henzell is using. Come on mate, stop trying to turn this around and make me look like I m bashing you. |

Its supposed to point to the fact that players need to be able to use their equipment properly and have skills - not just make quotes like the "Best looping rubber" or "Tensors cant be beat for Spin & Speed" |

To be totally totally honest I posted this in the wrong section. that is all there is to it. I just wanted to talk about the topic at hand. I posted it, then I looked at and saw the equipment equipment: post reply what ever. I went ooops, I thought why? I thought yea, I was thinking William Henzell, and I left it at that. So what else is there to say Rob? If I want to post a video about William Henzell Bullsh*tting the table tennis consumers about which rubbers he uses I would. Is that what you want me to do? |

It become a He said she said when someone tries to acuse me of something I have not done or said. All I ve done is shown John his own statements and how they have been written in such a way to be misunderstood. |

Whatever rob, you edited your first post, and then went on a big bash Boz the tenergy user who should use Andro throat ram spiel and then back pedalled.
I know you hate my website and you know I have bought from yours many times, I like your sites rob but you really have to stop attacking me for no reason. I showed everyone here my greatest weaknesses to see how much I would get attacked and you did not suprise me at the least. Thank you for your feedback. |
