Balls

The Common-Sense Way to Adjust

 
 
 
 
Winning tournaments primary consists of playing your best while adjusting your tactics based on your opponent’s strengths, weaknesses, and overall playing style.  The last thing that you want to be doing in tournaments is adjusting to strange equipment.  If you want to play your best in the next tournament, please, please, please, do this one thing for me…
 
Practice for at least 2-3 weeks with the tournament ball!

Check out a Robo-Pong 2050

 
 
My main training partner during the last 8 years has been a Newgy Robo-Pong 2050.  People often ask me, "How in the world do you train with a robot, by yourself in your basement for 1 hour per day and maintain 2500 level?  How is that possible?"  The secret is HOW I train with the robot.  I use the robot much differently than most other players.
 
Yes, I am selling the robots.  If you are interested in purchasing a robot, please let me know tt@samsondubina.com

John

Bible Verses of the Week

 
 
 
 
I have been reading through the book of John in the Bible.  Over and over throughout the book, Jesus explains that He is Divine and that man is only saved by believing in Him.  Just over 2000 years ago, Jesus came, lived a perfect life, died the death of a criminal, and rose again to show that He has power over death.  So, why did He come?

Killing Your Game

Sit Less... ...Win More

 
 
 
 
 
 
For years, I have been trying to convince my students to avoid sitting.  Sitting too much before, during, and after training and tournaments will kill your body.  Think about it...
1. Players often is for 3-4 hours driving to a tournament 
2. Players immediately sit down between matches for extended periods of time
3. As soon as the tournament is finished, players immediately sit back in the car and drive another 3-4 hours
4. Players wake up the next day and rest by sitting for 10 hours in front of the TV
