Do I understand it correctly that the 5th entry for MS japan is kenji matsudaira? Why is that???

OMG. What a match point and way to end it. Hugo did it!

WCQ under real pressure against Hugo now going into the decider. Not too many "crazy" rallies, most points are decided in the first 4 to 5 shots.

What exactly is meant by that? Contacting on the side like you do for a banana flick but in the rallies instead? Or only for the down the line where you hit the ball on its right side as a right handed player?

I am curious about what things have helped you with your backhand rallying. Technique / footwork wise. Maybe certain cues that helped get some things right. To make it clear: My BH is not weak, my technique is decent/good, most people appreciate my BH, but against certain oppoents / in certain...

The Dynasty carbon is not as fast as you would expect. It has good feeling, but all of my inner carbon blades were faster than the dynasty. If you hit hard, it will have good support, but the "base" speed is not that high. Although I didn't play with the cybershapes, they should be faster...

Whenever you post something here, you're bringing up new/old arguments for switching your blade 😂. For your next purchase, try the Harimoto Super ALC. My current blade, with a good balance between FH, BH, power and control.

Imo, 729 Battle 3 38 is quite good / a better alternative to H8 80. I used to play with H8 80 for some time, but it had some issues with weight inconsistency ( some sheets way too heavy) and it was a little too slow and tacky for my BH. Now I'm using Battle 3 38 with 2 layers seamoon, and I...

I wanted to remove this rubber from my blade, which was glued a few months ago. It was glued very tightly and unfortunately I teared it a bit at the top. I don't plan on using it on my main blade anymore, but I might try it on a different one. I'm still curious. What do you guys think...

What a dramatic and tragic ending...

The blue sponge LAC Finally arrived. I'll test it unboosted first, on the same racket where the normal LAC is on right now.

My playstyle with SP on BH is getting better and better. I'm regularly beating players higher rated and I feel more confident from week to week. In a small tournament today I lost against 3 High rated pips players. All 3 matches 3-1, and I'd have won all 3 of them if I was better at...

Dima lost 1-3 to young Chen Yuanyu. Sad to see as a Dima fan.

I can't directly compare the Stuor HALC to the original, but I can recommend it. It is slower, more controlled and less flexible than other inner ALC blades that I tried, but it's good nonetheless. There are plenty of options for cheap and good inner ALC blades from Yinhe, Sanwei, Stuor etc...

It feels weird, but I had a dream where I asked Fan Zhendong some questions about his equipment, one of them was how his personal blades are different from normal ones, and he said the sweet spot on his personal blades is smaller, which makes him hit better shots. In my dream it kinda made...

An interesting experience I made this week: I glued a boosted B3 40 on a blade a few months ago, played it once or twice and just left it there. Now, I took it off, boosted it with 1 layer and glued it on my new racket to use as my new forehand rubber. I expected it to be like all my other...

Interestingly, he is using a BTY rubber on FH, I assume D09c. It makes sense, but it's interesting none the less.
