And that bothers you ??

OP Replied (in deleted posting) :-21 point was a habit. Volley rule
was a habit. This is a very easy habit to adjust to.
Even if what you say is all true, the benefits of not having true
confusion about whether it was really a let or your opponent not
cheating blatantly (like at your advantage at deuce), far outweigh the annoyance of some noise or changed trajectory. Initially it may be a
little harder to adjust but you can easily adjust.

And for Iskandar to claim (in now deleted reply to OP) that one can
train themselves to produce net serves but not edge serves is just
plain crazy. And even more crazy is the claim that a player can be so
confident that they can pull this off at critical junctures of a match
such as when at deuce. Truly bizarre claim.

Note :- Keme was actually responding to Iskandar Taib's wild claim as
above . but suddenly Iskandar's previous posting trashing the OP, has
been mysteriously deleted & now Iskandar wants to make a post somewhat
agreeing with Ops rule change suggestion

BTW the OP ( in that thread deleted by HaggisV ) just asked in OP if
anyone wondered why edge serves (otherwise good) are legal but net
serves (otherwise legal) are not . Iskandar made a bizarre post
claiming that a player can actually train themselves to serve net
serves but not edge serves. Below is that bizarre posting by Iskandar
Taib in response to Original Post by Ralph J that appeared on 11 Jul

very, very difficult to produce at will.

Do you seriously think any players can seriously hit the net in
table-tennis ? However, what you say is very true > If any player can
do it, there will also be players at any level who can also return it.
But given the source of the wild claim (Iskandar Taib) that claim is a
joke anyway.We are all used to hearing such nonsense from Iskandar
Taib, but the sad part is that HaggisV deleted the reply to Iskandar
by someone else because it obviously exposes Iskandar for who he is.
It is puzzling as to why HaggisV is protecting the likes of Iskandar
or posters like Rob_M, who is hellbent on harassing new posters
calling them trolls or calling their posts just because he (Rob_M)
does not agree with them. It is even more funnier if you consider the
fact that the likes of Rob_M or Iskandar are acting as if they are
"saving" some obscure internet forum and even more bizarre is the
belief that that their behavior actually protects table-tennis from
all its enemies. LOL
