Why don't you just get a new one? Blades are not expensive. Unless you have some emotional attachment.

It's a new era of world commerce with China being displaced as the manufacturing center.

If Anders plays like he did against Chuqin he will be unbeatable. But I'm guessing that he was geared up to play WCQ so he may not be as prepared against a different opponent. If he plays Hugo it would be a total brawl!

Hmmm, that's not bad. It picked it up pretty good. Didn't stay very long but at least it was able to pick it up from the table. I might have to give it a try.

Is this "tacky" enough to pick up a ball? Or is it a phantom tacky like Dignics? Every time the manufacturers say tacky it's not even close to a Chinese rubber.

From the flags it looks like a pretty steady wind. How on earth can you play TT on the beach???

yes, so only the top players have even a remote chance to make big money. That's a tiny fraction of the players on tour.

In terms of money earned I would say TT is the most difficult to earn a living. There just isn't enough money to go around to make a decent living. The 1000th ranked golfer on the PGA is a millionaire. How many millionaires are in TT?

I put 3 layers of Seamoon yellow and love it. Perfect speed and spin.

Ok, thanks for all the suggestions. Definitely a lot to remember. I'll try those things. If I can remember... lol

So that means i have to back up too. Because if I stay close I won't have time to pivot. I did win a few points by pushing them back and drop shot but assuming I can play a FH to push them back.

So I'm an attacker and usually can beat 18-1900 players. However I have such a hard time against defenders. A few guys at my club are defensive guys that are not choppers and don't play pips but they give you back floaters and soft backspin balls. The play defensively and far back. The never...

This. And the number 8 is considered lucky because it's two round circles which is a good thing. Chinese are very superstitious. Some hotels don't even have a 4th floor.

I'm curious as to the politics of the situation. Why did the association sabotage her career? Are they trying to promote someone else they like better? Or did some corrupt official get paid?

Yeah that would never work for regular players. Unless they can leave up to umpire discretion of unsportsmanlike play.
