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, regardless of the setup.

At first I hated the new format, but then I realised you can search for keyword "new" in the web interface. So my rage has subsided.

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. https://tabletennisengland.co.uk/news/archived/table-tennis-england-seeks-clarity-on-easing-restrictions/ "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 responsibility for the madness of their actions, no doubt. I'm still amazed that we live in a...

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 cameras when he made baseless, misleading claims. But he has fostered an anti-expert...

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 actions are comparable). He could use his immense platform to deliver clear, safe advice...

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, but here is the one obvious moment in time where dishonesty, confusion, and unreliability will cost...

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 suppose we shouldn't be surprised that the man who bragged about molesting women on a bus and has...

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 of time to analyse the stats and understand the mechanisms. But the potential dangers are severe...

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 expect to be taken seriously without overwhelming evidence. And this isn't an issue with two valid...

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 now. The Wuhan horse has bolted, and perhaps it was never possible to contain it in a globalised...

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 touching your face. So the aeration might not be too bad a factor?

Don't know how your guys feel about the NYT as a reliable source of news, but... https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/13/us/coronavirus-deaths-estimate.html Some really wide ranges of estimated infections and deaths there. The best case scenarios rely on sensible behavioural change in the public...

It's very hard to predict. Some of the basic models our government has displayed have our peak (peaks will be different in each country) as being as far as 10-12 weeks away, if the controlling measures push the peak back. You push the peak back to take pressure off health services, but then...

Complacency is a real danger with this one. So many people get very mild symptoms that the "it's just the flu" mindset propagates. Then people start to switch off mentally - stop washing their hands, cough all over people, attend gatherings when they're feeling a bit off. The people who...
