Nittaku balls feel harder and heavier and harder to spin than anything else and seem to disadvantage spinny loopers, imo.

My bad. I swear my eyes saw "session" :-) Time to visit specsavers ...

Not in my experience. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/xiom-c55-impressions-and-comparison-with-h3n.34868/post-525087 Here is one that "has been used for one session": https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/177127126300

Neither of the 2 sheets of nuzn 50 I played with had been able to lift the ball at all. I'm not not the only person making this observation. https://www.tabletennisdaily.com/forum/topics/andro-nuzn-50-and-55.33827/post-463369...

Except that nuzn is nothing like K3/A1/C55, etc. It is not even barely tacky. As to Dignics 09C, it's topsheet durability is basically the same as K3/A1/C55.

Calix 2 sold.

On a slightly unrelated note, nexy.com now offers a full custom blade making service. Discovered it yesterday, when trying to find out more about Spira H.

Nope, that's basically a flat view of their website.

Does anyone have a link to the current Stiga table tennis catalog pdf or flipbook in English? Cannot find it anywhere on https://www.stigasports.com/en-gb and my google searches either find ancient versions from 2018 or in Japanese (e.g. https://stigasports.jp/catalog) , Chinese, French, etc -...

Umm, and how do you describe their unflinching support for Russian aggression in Ukraine?

At least it's his own original content and not videos stolen from other channels.

Nice interview with ZYL by Butterfly: Zhu Yuling's Comeback Interview: “I Just Want to Purely Enjoy Table Tennis Again” EJs will find the comments re T05 Hard and Rozena most interesting.

So we're all in agreement, losers of yesterday's semis should retire, right? 😂

Hayata looks like she's playing with a rapidly progressing wrist injury... Not good.

Because all things being equal, it takes more effort to hit the new ball with the same speed as the old ball when using same rubber. Think about what is needed to activate the "catapult" of the softer rubber too.

To make up for the loss of speed resulting from the transition to 40+ balls.

Well, even FIFA is hopeless here. See https://www.sportschau.de/usa-verweigern-kubas-volleyballerinnen-visa,kuba-usa-110.html and https://www.sportschau.de/einreise-in-die-usa-wird-ein-problem-fuer-sport,einreise-usa-wm-olympia-100.html.

Even the Guardian wrote about it. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/jul/05/hugo-calderano-misses-wtt-us-smash-over-visa-issue

I like your optimism - describing Trump's immigration policy changes as "an accident".
