I had the case once, where I replied to a post which ended with "sent from my ayePhone X", etc. (the very thing this word exclusion is aimed to prevent, I think) and I can't tell why the post I was quoting made it through, but the simple fact that the word appeared in the quotation made my...

Enough. You sure haven't done the work.

Well again, I could push forward zyu81's approach here, as well as the martial arts analogy. Self-control and, if anything, learning to turn the tendency of your opponent to over-react against themselves. If a player gives all he has in his lungs after any given point, I am tempted to interpret...

That is a fair point. I was more on the side of those who just want to let him be, but I am no fan of the generalisation of loud, systematic and uncontrolled choing in the sport, at times down to the lowest levels. It cheapens the truly great rallies which would (to me, anyway) warrant this kind...

The Target Pro are excellent, I would say do it if your game is mostly loop oriented. I tried all three rubbers (AK yellow, GT-43 and 47) repeatedly when my brother was doing changes, on a Hinotec Off and Virtuoso + so not too different from yours. Am also familiar with Vega Pro on Offensive S...

Nittaku Spintial (defensive JPN/CHN hybrid), Inception (German-made entry-level do it all) and Sieger (beast). https://tt-japan.net/index.php?main_page=products_new&disp_order=6&page=2

Righty-o! I just zoomed through Karratha on the Greyhound. Make sure you plunge into the Ningaloo Reef (Coral Bay), it's a wonder really, and next door to you in Australian terms. Slow currents in case you'd rather know, it is different from the Great Barrier in that you can just put your mask...

Carnarvon? I lived for three-and-a-half months there, took up fishing (and, ahem, goone) and had a blast. You can get a line, hook and a good old ten-inch diameter plastic wheel (reel if you will) in place of a fishing rod, whereby you just throw the line and draw it back in by hand. Feeling in...

That's a very good post, thanks.

Xu Yingbin against Wang Yang (and the scores!!), of all people. Wang has got to become the TTD mascot, or something. Power to him.

He set the ship right too when it comes to Cassin, after the recent upset (I read somewhere, even two in a row against him?) he adapted like the champ he is, in this tournament. Not even close. A walking encyclopedia of table tennis, poise and respect - hell of a guy, and may it continue...

Kokutaku 868 (factory tuned for the closest results, the one with the ludicrous party cover) is really quite good, also KTL Rapid Speed. More recent ones like the 729 Presto tend to cost as much as the DNA you've found... I personally don't like the AK-47 (tried blue and yellow), the sponge is...

Killer in Scrabble.

More chilled and positive than the last one, if I can say so (which felt a little more American style warrior-movie like, whatever that means - no offense, anyone), I think it translated in the gameplay. Pure enjoyment. Really good stuff, editing, matches and of course the whole team!

Not to hammer on the same point over and over again, but Gauzy really did collapse in that last game. Up what was it, 6 or 7-2, and two match points. Claimed a wet ball, or something, looking agitated. Hardly consistent, anyway. But yes, I kept wishing all match long he would hit the ball head...
