:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: Aruna plays with him exactly with the same spirit I play the kids I teach who are very very distant from being able to take even a single set from me (unless I want them to).

I feel this is common when seeing someone with an objectively higher technical level struggling with someone who has many less weapons in their technical arsenal, but are very good at disrupting those 2-3 automatic patterns of the better player. Usually it only happens the first time they meet...

Incredible but true, I found it on the website and was on time to buy it! Can't wait to finally try a composite blade :)

In line with the doubts of people who commented many years ago, I just don't see a clear advantage in doping as ping-pong has way too many aspects and delicacies that need balance, and I just don't see how chemical tinkering can help without "taking off" somewhere else. In all the sports in...

So, did anyone try this booster and their crazy "lasting up to 6 months" statement?

It just occurred to me that this may be an easier way to compare rating / ranking across countries. What's the rating bracket of let's say the first 5 or 10 rated U15 (born 2012 - 2013) players in the US? Please do not count the chinese/korean/japanese teens that may make an appearance, just the...

I thought so too with BS, it took some hours before it felt comfortable. I found out though that when I found the right way (for me) of boosting it, it played wonderful from the get-go so I will share it: three moderate layers of booster separated by 12 hours each, around 30 hours of wait from...

I myself love to tell people I quite easily dispatched Matteo Mutti, current italian champion, and Daniele Pinto, another italian professional player. I then add the information that they were something like 11 y.o. at the time :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

This is a very interesing topic, and I think many many many amateurs would become so much better if they put much more intentionality in their game. Soooooo many amateurs I coach tell me "I just serve and then whatever happens happens". Well good luck with that, you will never be the best you...

Incredible win for Sora! He is really unstoppable when he plays on fire. Oh sorry, wrong discussion?

So I have been trying Hurricane King with H3 BS on forehand and DNA helix XH on backhand (200 grams heavy and not head heavy) and also the Freitas ALC with Dragon power 55 on both forehand and backhand (Haven't even weighed it but feels so light, probably around 185 and weight on the handle). My...

Keep playing with the Primorac until you feel like you have hit the ceiling of your technical improvement. Once you feel like your technique is the best that it can be than you can have fun playing with equipment.That's no less than 3-5 years, ideally 10 years. You can get harder rubbers than...

I agree that the stability is not there yet, but I think in his head he still believes he's behind the front pack and I hope that he starts believing in his possibilities and be on par with them.

I would really like it if this was the breaktthrough tournament for Anders, I think he has it in him to be a stable (and quite spectacular) top 10 player.

Lin Shidong: No, it's Alexis Lebrun
