  1. Why did Honoka and Hitomi break up their WD pair?

    @zeio They played smth like eight years together on tour and for Miki House. Any online word why they stopped partnering in WD? They were fun to watch, sad not to see them any more

    actually that's bullshit, what you just posted inside quotation marks, but thanks for getting involved. here is exactly what I wrote to mamedium. "you are fully entitled to have your own sense of humor, or not have, as the case may be" My point, which you might have missed, is that takkyu is...

    you were the one giving and withholding approval on takkyu's post. i merely made an observation.

    you are fully entitled to have your own sense of humor, or not have, as the case may be
  5. What is the most important area to jump from 1900 to 2100?

    I was going to say focus, but RN2 already said it much better. imo everything else that has been said about serve and receive, safety, consistency, movement - it all comes back to intense focus throughout the point, every point of the match. Honestly, how often do you achieve this?
  6. Your best double's serve tactics?

    almost everyone serves short backspin. maybe throw in some short no-spin if your deception is good and your partner likes the third ball you get.
  7. Anyone can compare Tibhar Ellen Offense to Yasaka AntiPower?

    It is a lot faster. But I also got the 1.5 only bc 2.0 was sold out. This may have been a mental error similar to choosing a restaurant with no wait over one with a long line. I forgot thicker anti sponges are actually slower than thin. Oops. I have only played once with Ellen offense...

    Change the coach. Korbel is the standard all-wood blades European coaches suggest little kids to start with if they will train seriously.
  9. Does training with a certain ball matter?

    I haven't seen a bty ball in forever. they used to suck, so maybe still a bigger difference there. obvs it depends how tight the margins are where OP plays his tournaments. I was playing a meaningless league match a while ago with a regular opponent. the Nittaku 3* we were using broke, so...
  10. Does training with a certain ball matter?

    No. If really matter means will it alter match wins and losses, No.
  11. Anyone can compare Tibhar Ellen Offense to Yasaka AntiPower?

    Wow, I am never, ever using water-based glue again. Rubber cement is better in every way for 1/4 the price. Plus I'm a little high now from the fumes. In other news, the Tibhar Ellen comes with a protection sheet Must be to prevent anything sticky from getting on there and making it...

    the Bagel has landed! Fast shipping via Megaspin.
  13. Something a bit quicker than Fastarc G1?

    MX-P (and -D) is still very popular at the low-level club where I play. To me it combines more speed and less spin than t05. Not the combination I desire, but I see the appeal. And it's for sure a bit (or a lot) faster than g1.
  14. Something a bit quicker than Fastarc G1?

    I played both for years, likewise not at the same time. Depends what big difference means to you. You can switch between them and adjust quickly. But one feels like spring sponge and one doesn't. And the ball is going to react more off t05, which is both good and bad. The OP said a bit...
  15. Anyone can compare Tibhar Ellen Offense to Yasaka AntiPower?

    I didn't give the Best Anti a long trial, but for me AntiPower is much more playable. I am close to the table playing almost a short pips defense style with it. Best anti I had to hit so hard just to get across, it felt uncontrollable despite being the slowest rubber ever. Blocks would also...
