world-tt say they will be "slightly tacky"

Good grief. I assume the C stands for Concrete

Little bit more chatter about V and H here:

V being non-tacky, "like a high-end variation of the...

To add to Fluff's post above, xiom.jp have posted an interesting "story" about V47.5:

The translation seems to hint at a low trajectory until you add sharp...

I think the full list is:

V47.5
V52.5
X47.5
X50.0
H52.5
Z52.5

H might be the tackiest one, Z is the expensive "pro" version. I'm not sure which ones are totally different topsheets, I...

Contra and TT11 have got listings for the two V variations, not quite in stock yet but hopefully imminent.

Not seen any European listings for the X, Z, or H variants yet unfortunately.

The...

Andro japan have posted some bits on twitter:

The C appears to stand for "Counterspin", the focus is on the shape of the topsheet pips....

I think the sport in the UK has a specific image and accessibility problem that might not be the same in other countries. As NDH said, our local leagues have been in decline for many years, average...

You do need an active facebook account to use the Quest 2. It's a requirement that causes a lot of frustration for people - understandably.

I picked a Quest 2 up for Xmas and I have to say that Eleven is brilliant. Impossible to overstate how useful it's been for me while I'm stuck at home waiting for the club to open up again. Life...

Fan's backhand rubber is definitely butterfly. Some good pics on the ITTF Flickr feed show the logo clearly. Can't tell if it's tenergy or dignics. He's definitely playing well at the moment,...

It's possible - lots of training time without major events means players can experiment. Need pics though!

ML has been using H3 37 on BH for a long time.

Unfortunately so.

"mid july" is suggested there, but nothing concrete.

This is a fantastic first match Hugo vs Pat. Two-handed Hugo BH from deep takes it to 2-2.

Wow. That is a fantastical level of arse-covering.

These things are never, IMO, black and white. Trump, being in the position he is in, must take some responsibility for the messages he sends out. The people on the receiving end must also take some...

The specifics don't matter, but only because Trump operates in a swirl of unspecific nonsense which his supporters act on. I wish specifics DID matter, because then he'd get dragged away from the...

Trump isn't "someone". He's the president of the united states. His words and actions have consequences far beyond the random madness of a street corner drunk (even if the value of those words and...

There are many times I look back at the events of my life and have regrets. But I will never regret turning down the job offers I had in the US.

Trump's lies are usually an interesting sideshow,...

America's leadership is totally anti-rational. Not just irrational, but goes out of its way to attack rationality as an approach to things. Truly a horrible time to be subject to a pandemic.

I...

People are scared mate, sometimes this comes out in bursts. I think we should all try to give a little more slack than usual, if possible.

And sure, when the crisis is over there will be plenty...

NL, this is just nonsense. It's much more serious than the flu. There is broad, expert consensus on that. If you want to go in a different direction to the vast majority of experts, you can't...

C19 is just a scientific categorising term. Asking to refer to it as Wuhan is a political decision.

I understand the urge to find someone/thing to blame, but I don't think it does any good right...

The virus isn't airbourne, has to be passed via droplets, so that helps. It's more about coughs and sneezes. It can live on surfaces for quite some time, hence the focus on hand washing, and not...

Don't know how your guys feel about the NYT as a reliable source of news, but...
