I can’t see Tomo beating felix, but I can see XP beating LSD.

The typical answer is that the sponge is really hard and so to get power and the most out of 09c, one must hit hard and with good technique, which many beginners can’t do. The rubber is really unforgiving for bad technique. The arc is also pretty high compared to other rubbers which could be...

Personal experience isn’t proof but yet your word is just the truth all of a sudden. I see. Still yet to hear your sources dude. Just to add one more thought, if DHS made WCQ’s personal H3, which means they make the time and effort to tailor it to his needs, produce the highest possible quality...

Lind blade has more control and spin than Jorgic blade. I would go for lind blade

And your proof that 0.05mm doesn’t change anything is? In the end, this is your opinion too, albeit in the minority 0.05mm can change the feeling entirely. I’ve used both even just unboosted for a fair test. The feeling of 2.1 is just better and there is a better balance of control, spin and speed

If the overwhelming majority of people use 2.1 and say there’s a difference, it’s probably not a placebo then, no?

Helix sales and promotions gonna go crazy with how Truls has been performing since he switch to it

Get 2.1 then imo. Has much better feeling

The difference between provincial and national is non existent. Just buy provincial to save your cash. 2.15 to me is slightly faster and powerful. That’s why I like 2.1 better; I get a good mix of control and power. It also gives me room to boost more too (although I know you don’t care)

Maybe they wanted more variability and give chances for the Gauzys, Linds, and AJHs to make it through as the lower seeded players. They certainly got that this year. There are pros and cons of seeding only 4 and the 1 plays 16 format.

This year just was some really bad luck in the draw for the high rated players. Like why is 3 playing 6, 1 playing 8, and 2 playing 7, yet 12 plays 13, 11 plays 14, and 9 plays 10? Truls and Tomo were the only ones who had somehwat proper draws.

Ah I see, but Hugo was higher seeded in the 2022 and 2023 first round losses by a comfortable margin, JWJ was the 13th seed (Hugo 5th seed) and Quadri 16th seed (Hugo 5th seed). I'm too lazy to try and see who he wouldve played those years under the 1st plays 16th format tho lol.

All of Hugo's first round exits: 2025: Lost to Felix (bad draw) 2024: Lost to Jang Woojin (played badly imo, JWJ last win against Hugo before that was in 2014) 2023: Lost to Aruna: (played badly, choked a 2-0 lead and has never lost to him prior to this) 2022: Lost to Moregard (bad draw against...

Thank you for the kind words man! Yeah I will try to record a full match when I have time.

The match between Calderano/Takahashi and Miwa/Sora is gonna be fireworks

I mean sure. Take the yellow card and move on i guess lol

The amount of backhand loops he misses is absurd. But he makes up for it by attacking the most unattackable half longs with his FH

When I watch the Truls I saw in Houston 2021, his FH was almost all arm no body. Crazy how one Chinese super league season turned his FH into smth insane

Truls’ FH is so good that it along with his feeling get him into the Top 4. He’s literally top 4 with a nonexistent BH, which in today’s game is hard to do.

Agreed. I have said before that without his mentality issues he can literally beat anyone. And we saw that today against WCQ. This was not the Sora we saw against LJK. This was a Sora that gave blood sweat and tears all the way until that last block carried long. I’m a big fan of Sora and his...
