Preliminary use of a artemis is that it feels a bit softer and faster than Viscaria imo Extremely high pitched sound, Handle is not as comfortable imo but is not a flattened flare so if you want a rounder flared handle might be perf?

Biomechanics is much more useful to understand how to do a stroke, it also explains why certain forms work well Because strokes are not a mechanics issue but a biomechanics issue. when standing correctly the optimal strike zone for countering backspin is usually where the vertical racquet speed...

Completely agreed, It can mimick the hard attacking shots well but isn't as composed imo or as pradictable when playing slower and might actually be closer to a lower tiered K3 than D05. the best D05 alternative is T19 or D80 imo but thats a bold statement as they cost the same here

Honestly there will not be one D05 has some fantastic qualities and feels quite unique. It's like asking the best BTY rubber as a H3 alternative. there isn't one D09c is just a different rubber If we are putting Palio AK47 RED as A teir we are lost.

I mean I have used machines that can tell the difference between things that are thousands of times more precise than this in a rheology laboratory or a laser particle size analysis thingy when I was at university. If we can't believe they can measure to 1/10th (not 1/100th) at least then we...

But that is what you are asking for. They can measure to 0.1 degrees it's not hard with mocap. So you're asking for rounding to nearest degrees means that 30.4 is now the limit instead of 30.0 But this kind of ooh but your honour it was only out by 0.2 you've ruined the flow of the match now...

so you're just asking to change from 30 degrees to 30.5? Players should try to obey the rules and if they want to toss at the very edge to get an advantage they will foul. if you change to 30.5 instead of 30 they will get called on 30.7 and say it should be 31

Honestly when the round of 64 MS WS @ 8min per vid is just under 9 hours a day? I personally only watch 5-10 so i like the longer ones but then if I wanted to watch all then 2min for ones i dont care for makes perfect sense

You tell that to all the 60 year olds in my leauge who used all wood in their 40s who now want more pop to finish points now their feet and arms dont move as well as before. I mean Rich Dewitt is a better player than any of us in his prime and used a 5ply allwood and a 20 year old sriver but I...

So hard to answer but i'll do my best: 1.) Lower level player like high dwell/soft rubbers and tacky rubbers because theyre easier to produce spin with as you get better its more about if you brush loop or hit loop. I would suggest hit loopers need softer rubbers to produce spin and brush...

can we not give AI advice without context. H3 OS is considered superior if not boosting to H3 BS and suggesting H3 both sides to somone as an alternative to K3 who wants more speed without boosting is just purest nonsense I would NOT go with HL5 if you use a blade for a long time as they are...

I wouldn't consider being a professional coach as going pro at table tennis more an adjacent job, I think opening ancillary avenues makes it a bit misleading. if coaches count do sports influencers? what about videographers and photographers who also play? What about tournament directors? Some...

We really need to all be having the same conversation. Yes you have to be a higher quality of athlete to be a pro footballer in the UK. However if you are it's easier as there is a whole industry of attending junior games and finding talented amateurs so if you shine you will be noticed...

Either way I would suggest no, I do think its one of the technically most challenging sports but consider how easy it is to get involved with a lower barrier of entry. Yes I think its harder to be pro in TT than tennis however its hugely easier to get into TT than tennis. The coaching is...
