  1. For the "ejing is bad" crowd....

    Pistej in both fragments is what's probably meant. Extreme high level regardless of gear used.
  2. Battle of the best FH rubbers

    FAG-1 over here. I don't have near-godly skills; I'm just a dedicated amateur player, putting in the effort and having done so for many a year by now. The elite can and does get away with the mercurial ultra-high-end rubbers. The wannabees will mimic, fetish-fantasizing that using the same...
  3. Help for a new blade.

    Donic Appelgren Allplay. It has not been mentioned, but it should be.
  4. My top-sheet is pure G1 goodness, but my sponge is a springy ESN tensor. What rubber am I?

    G1 has the G1 top sheat (obviously) and a springy, tensor-style sponge. Tenergy and Dignics sponges are somewhat springier — which, imho, is disadvantageous for those of us outside the world top 200 or so.
  5. Edgetape residue problem

    If it gets too bad, I gently dab with a drop of white spirit on a bit of cloth. Very cautiously.
  6. Paris Olympic Games 2024

    Hindsight and all, but somehow I always felt there was a good case to be made for offering Ma Long a farewell in the Olympics singles. I would have loved to see that, in any case.
  7. SDC Handmade Blades

    Everytime I take up my blade I sense its perfection. I'm so grateful for it I just needed to say that. Thank you.
  8. Will Butterfly eventually drop the price of the 'Tenergy' series?

    So you're new to this "capitalism" fad, I take it?
  9. Deng Yaping visits Chinese National Team Paris Olympics Closed Training

    All goats are female. The male equivalent would either be a billy or a buck.
  10. Pips falling out

    This is actually a problem that can be solved quite simply. The pips are breaking off easily because they're facing outwards. If you glue the rubber on with the pips facing inwards, they're much less likely to break away. And if you mount the pips on a sponge layer when you do this, they're...
  11. Dignics 09c longevity

    Fastarc G1 is very, very durable. You're bound to run into disappointment if you wish to "bump things up" and then expect similar longevity. People claim Dignics 05, 80 also last long. Well, they may last better than most rubbers, but still pale in comparison to G1. There's some raving about...
  12. Saudi Smash 2024

    A fair player would concede rather than challenge the point.
  13. Saudi Smash 2024

    At 9-9 in the 4th game Mima Ito and Hina Hayata served, won the point and reached match point. SYS then, after the fact, engaged with the referee, and managed to pressure that referee in reversing the decision and calling a let. This intervention changed the entire flow of the match. MI/HY...
  14. Im losing faith in the sport

    Let's be careful out there. Do seek (more/better) medical help. I'm saying this because I have a child that's been going downhill for 10+ years now. It probably started with a simple infection. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myalgic_encephalomyelitis/chronic_fatigue_syndrome) Sometimes such a...
  15. Saudi Smash 2024

    SYS is a fine player but should have retired from the game in utter shame in 2019. Congrats, Cheng Meng. Good win.
  16. What's causing China losing all these matches lately?

    BO5, and the shadow of the upcoming olympics is looming large.
  17. Your personal "hatelist" of players

    Hate is a too powerful negative, and the hate cycle all too commonly used to bait clicks, further fuel anomosities and eventually break down the fabric of society should be deprived oxygen, not fed. That being said, I'm holding unfair play and players committing it in very low esteem. Here's...
  18. Dignics and its Effect on Sales of Tenergy and Rozena

    Newsflash: most heavily marketed brand tops marketing statistics. World leaders are SHOCKED. Yet I'd prefer FastArc G-1 (the #2 bestseller) over Rozena (the #1) every single day. Even though Rozena's just fine.
  19. Tactics when your loop gets chopblocked

    There's always ball placement options to consider.

    Reply to review by 'yoass' on item 'Xuperman Powerplay-X'

    Update: after scouring Ali, I actually bought it from ProTT. Just in case.
