Great to know! Be sure to inform Timo, Dima and all of them that the reason they haven't been able to beat the Chinese consistently is that the didn't realize how fast the ball is.

I'd think your FZD contacts could fill you in...

Let's go through the insanity of this post from start to finish. Before we start, I'll mention that you clearly didn't read my post where I said WCQ is clearly ahead of the other two, so you are...

I think I meant to quote Archyan on that one.

Kallberg is a good player who seems to have made a major improvement this year, but to say he is "not even at 60% of his potential" is a stretch. He is 23 years old and has been a stalwart of the...

All of them. It's not a statement. It's a question, regarding your past experience. Have you ever?

You make ridiculous claims like you get paid for it.

Watch a good player with good technique power loop with hard rubber and then loop with soft rubber and see if you notice a difference.

No, Timo Boll does not use R53 because he has been sponsored by Butterfly for over 2 decades. That would be Simon Gauzy. Common mixup.

The point of this thread, as I understand it, is not that...

Lin's forehand looked noticeably stronger in the RESTART. So did Harimoto's. I don't think either has taken the lead in upgrades. Both still have a lot of room for improvement but I think it is worth...

I don't think every "high level coach" in China has inside information on his potential fake age which is why I asked. It is not uncommon at all for 16 year olds to look several years older as a good...

It's not that uncommon but yes he did always look a bit older in his younger years. Are those coaches you spoke to speculating or they know for sure?

How ?

Weight transfer is a good topic to discuss. Unfortunately you aren't hitting any of the important points.

Pulls his left wrist before pulling his left shoulder? Seriously?

WCQ definitely does. It seems FZD doesn't. Don't know about Ma Long. It's not about general consensus, you have to know on a case-by-case basis. It is becoming less common now but there are still...

Fraser, thanks for this detailed post. I think it is an interesting discussion. I might suggest a little formatting or simplification as the post was not easy to read, but I got through it all and...

Not the first time...
