Anything else offtopic

NL banned wrong person
Please stop interfering with my enjoyment of SYS vs Hayata. Do you have anything of substance to add? Your last 2 posts have nothing to do with Calderano or Joola.

I didn't start this thread to have a Joola representative in mind. Joola wasn't even in consideration by many here. The original thread title was only changed to the current one upon member request.

And what else?

Rhyzen ZGX
Tronic ZGR

They have the same sponge hardness as their Dynaryz equivalents?
You would expect that to be the case, but no lol

They are both around 55 degrees, but Tronix ZGR does have a harder feel honestly because the pores are smaller.

Thread called Calderano Signs with Joola
Anything else offtopic

NL banned wrong person
A couple of things ro be clear.

1. Zeio was also banned as well at that time for a very brief period similar to Tony. He didn't like it either.
2. This thread was started by zeio for a general purpose and then retitled when it became clear Hugo had signed with Joola. Therefore zeio from my perspective has some leeway in posting since he started the thread and has no concerns about off topic material.
3. If you have any issues with site or moderation feel free to reach out to a moderator. If you dont like what a moderator says, feel free to reach out to another moderator or even Dan.

Now please @piligrim , please close out this line of discussion and let the thread just continue its conversations. It will still primarily contain all the Hugo stuff just with some sidelines here and there. Thank you. Of course if you and zeio want to continue, be my guest. I just want to set the record straight.

I don't know. We are all on the same boat, there will be idiots, there will be good people, in any nation, saying "Japanese" are like that, "Chinese" are like that, there maybe some grain of truth, if you extrapolate correctly, but imho it's not worth the price to do that... I'd say it's safe to say the average is the same everywhere, and the only chance is that this average goes up, somehow, somewhat, miraculously ;-) - like sun decides and throws finally the right light on us ;-) Apart from that, it's better to treat everyone individually...



There def. are people who I put into this category and want to vomit when I see them - our current western "elites", but you see just the puppets, puppeteers are less visible... Still I can't agree it's like that generally, not my pers. experience... And masks are falling, people see through more... We have a choice... Anyway, we are a bit out of topic, let's wind this up, shall we ;-)
Lee Kuan Yew: "How will this civilization change, only through extensive contact with the rest of the world, a new generation or perhaps two new generations of educated people in contact with the West, arguing with Asians, with Americans, with Africans, with Latin Americans, and slowly becoming world citizens..."

Sometimes I dislike when Tony fights zeio, it often feels like it is coming from Tony, and zeio is defending, and I always asked why the h... Tony needs this. He is accomplished world-known useful trainer, why he does this. It is almost like he himself is not convinced that he is valuable...

https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/fo...king-of-grandmasters-thread.31468/post-412948
Look, I simply see it differently. There is someone, BB, who comes as BigBoss, and belittles others, and essentially tells them they are idiots. It has been done multiple times, even before that particular engagement with zeio. A lot of people ignore that. But now comes zeio, and with factual stuff, proves, that BB doesn't actually know what matters. And it is right that he shows it, proves it, because BB deserves it. That you classify it as harassment, it is of course your right. But I don't see it as harassment. Btw. I don't remember zeio belittling someone else, do you? You see, we have different points of views. I am not going to argue with you whether I understand it or not, I am also not that long on the forum. The fact is, that you treated zeio and BB as equally quilty, and that made zeio tell you what he told you. And then you made his punishment even worse than BB's.

(Maggot. All attempts at taking the initiative resulted in errors, and constantly fell back on playing short. Retreating from the table whenever becoming passive, yet he lacked the consistency in the first half of last year when away from the table. Changing the racket has truly ruined his performance)

(Boll, at 36, was still able to beat Ma Long and finish as the World Cup runner-up. Hugo is just nooby. There have been many players who won the World Cup title or the WTTC runner-up and then faded into obscurity, such as Falck.)
{∅}: 回复 aleenxuyi :户上3-0杜达,雨果被杜达4-0,而且雨果在6月的一个常挑之后赢的最强选手是邱党,澳门冠军赛进决赛全靠签运。
2026-2-27 14:43回复
(Togami defeated Duda 3-0, while Hugo was defeated 4-0 by Duda. Moreover, Hugo's strongest opponent after one WTT CT in June was Qiu Dang. Reaching the final at Champions Macau was all due to a good draw)
{∅}: 回复 aleenxuyi :也就是说雨果去年6月之后都没有赢过什么名将,除了一个跳楼机邱党,拉成这样也是罕见。
2026-2-27 14:44回复
(In other words, Hugo hasn't beaten any big names since June of last year, except for drop tower Qiu Dang. It's rare to see one lose so bad)

2026-2-27 14:39回复
(This shows that there is a cookbook for well-known foreign players, which they can refer to when playing, but those third-rate foreign players haven't caught the eye of the coaching staff yet, and there's no plan to deal with them for the time being. The youngsters' problem-solving ability on the spot is not sufficient.)

2026-2-27 14:39回复
(If Old Fruit continues in this form, he would become a laughing stock when he fails to advance to main draw at the World Cup. Lately, watching him play has become completely unwatchable. He seems to have lost his spirit and energy, making numerous mistakes, and getting carried away in crucial points without any suspense, without even putting up a fight)
