and actally i told Andrey to improve his game for himself, not to play footbag for himself.

so he can be satisfy with flawless of his game, not to be pleased with two-faced "good" comments. So he would think "ah, my game is good, there are only good comments, i'm cool"

at the end i should admit that Andrey style is not so bad, may be i did't notice that earlier, cuz he did't appears in this video alot, as i remember. and it's pretty strange...you own one of two russian styles that i can look on

you just should work on timing, so your game will become more dynamic, fast and balanced, just watch Ryan Mulroney playing (if you don't have lot's of his vids you can ask me)

you should work on arms position, actually you just should relax them, and fingers too (i'm judging on what i have seen at fff this year)

your whole body should stay relaxed, and you should stay on your toes all the time. And moving like you are an boxer or someting.

just watch Ryan
and good luck to ya, thanks for pissing me off two year ago, thats really helped me, much more than a hundred useless good comments

Thanks, I`ll try to follow these advices and I hope there will be no conflicts like this in the future, and if you think bad about smth in some situations you can just do`t talk about it and be with your opinion

I absolutely agree with Sergey. Getting compliments about how well you're doing things is worthless. If you're hitting something well you should know it. It's being told the things you're doing wrong that is of benefit. The other thing is that there are lots of people on modified who only ever give positive comments and often aimed at things that are not that great. As soon as you work out which people they are, any compliment they give you is worthless because you know that they're either not being honest with you or they don't know what's good and what isn't. The compliments worth getting are from the people who are most critical and genuine and honest with you.

edit: and sorry for bumping an old topic.
