I was referring to whether someone would interpret that as a slight against FZD, like the video was. A normal person would think nothing of it - you make little comments to your friends all the time.

Every now and then there's a prodigy that shows up and rockets up to the top echelon because they've got this one skill that's killer and the others haven't played them that much. Eventually they target that skill and it becomes restricted, and then it's about how they respond that determines...

WCQ essentially said "he doesn't hit as hard as you". How one interprets that is going to be different whether they're a deranged WCQ fan, a deranged FZD fan (closer to the POV of this video), or just a normal person. What made me chuckle though was how preoccupied LSD was with going out and...

It's kind of like the demise of the British Empire. Good for the world that it's happened, yet somehow still kind of a weird sentimental feeling.

I think going from 80-300 grinders the marginal benefits are very high. When you go 300 to 2000+, much less. I'm in the latter category, unfortunately :confused: The Z is a very good looking blade. I always think it's a N though. But it's important to look good

If anyone is honest with themselves, you don't EJ to get better. You EJ for the love of the game - spending money on fun toys. Literally the same as any other hobby. Edit: I jest, but only slightly so. I'm not one to faff around with my equipment but I don't believe reviewers can tell you for...

I think they come across as slow if you play Dignics like Dan does, which was the point of those rubbers. I reckon Butterfly knows some people just want to play Dignics whether it suits them or not, but needed something other than Tenergy to bridge the gap.

I meant 65-75. Hard to tell with the shirts, but table tennis players aren't very muscular, so I'm on the conservative side, mid seventies. I noticed you used someone slim and athletic, like a long distance runner. Sora is not slim and athletic lol. But he's also not built like a sprinter -...

Tomo is almost certainly taller than 170. He just looks much shorter due to his proportions. LYJ is listed as 174 and he looked a smidge shorter than Sora at this last Cup. LYJ looks like the same height as FZD and Tomo back in 2019, and a little shorter than Ma Long at frankfurt (2023). Now...

Tomo is what, 178? They look like they're about the same height. Weight wise, he looks like he's maybe 55-60kg 65-75kg roughly. Need mass if you want to hit hard on the backhand like he and LJK does.

I hate Sanwei rubbers with a passion but they actually make my favorite wood blade. It's their best product by a long shot. V5 Pro

Slow and fast are relative terms. By definition there must be something slow if there's something fast. If you were to say there's no such thing as a rubber with no bounce, then sure, I would agree. But saying there's no such thing as a slow rubber would only be true if all rubbers in the world...

You actually see this quite often in high level athletes. You get used to a rhythm and it's very uncomfortable when someone presents a different pattern. Adaptability is a rarer skill than, say, explosiveness. There's a recent video covering a few adjacent concepts in sports performance.

So basically: 1) Place a plastic cutting board on the ground. 2) Place the blade with cutter attached rubber side down on top of the board. 3) Place a piece of wood board on top of the blade+cutter combination - i.e. make a sandwich. 4) Stand on top of the wood board. 5) Repeat for other side...

Right on cue to urinate on a topic.

There's no overhang with this - if you cut it with the rubber side up is that the blade is essentially hanging on the rubber so when you roll the pin over the rubber it pushes the blade down, and the edges lift a little. They are all the same. Might be a little tricky since the head shape is...

No because you secure the belly of the blade to the edge. The cutting edge is touching the sponge to start.

They got one of him with the big boi a while back. Thought it was pretty cool. Costs a pretty penny no doubt.

I bought this to mess around. They give you a rod to roll it with, but it's definitely better if pressed. Rolling works but you have to do it with the rubber side up - otherwise it's hard to cut through the rubber - and it lifts the edges a bit. I like a little overhang, so I kept on with scissors.

You're making multiple points, I think: 1) It's harder for a layman to extract max performance from a table tennis racket than it is for them to do so from a car. Or maybe less generally, from a rubber than a tire. 2) The difference between a fast rubber and a slow rubber is much smaller than...
