Agree about the pro standard vs TTD However, others can expand or correct me, but the TTD players do have decent pedigree as strong amateurs Full-timers: Dan (the founder) - full-time running TTD Tom (full-time) - TT coach, highest rank about no.10-12, plays in Swedish top tier Louis (the beast)...

Assuming proper storage as you suggested. My very limited experience, after 12-18months from manufacture experienced players who change rubbers rubbers regularly will notice a performance drop. But from standard, very amateur or hobby player pov, at least 5 years before noticeable. If the User...

Well done for that dive. It looks like Dunlop is just another brand these days

What about, Sunflex? I see their name pop up every now and then as making rubbers and blades for several brands. From the old days, Dunlop were the biggest TT rubber manfacturer. Are they still in the TT business or simply manufacture the rolls of rubber and sponge that would be used by DHS etc?

Very similar to the Butterfly version

A couple of weekends ago, I had a close up view of a few matches played by Grigory Vlasov, former world top 50. He used D09c/D05. The spin he developed with the D09c was terrific. His opponent blocked his loops off the table several times due to the high spin. His backspin serves were very...

As above

Great rally. Wrong hand loop-drive by one player and a flying, punchy backhand from the FH side by the other player.

Harsh penalty for the biggest young star ion the TT universe? Remember how they treated John McEnroe? or the first time a big baseball star confronted the umpire? It's all entertainment. More entertainment = more exposure = more money for promoters

Yes. You have nothing to worry about

Aren't these blades bigger than plain Viscaria?

Buy something cheap at first as a test

I think that more important than shape are the dimensions of the handle. I have 3 blades that I can't play with because I end up with wrist pain after the session. Two are flared one is a fat handle ST. The most comfortable handles I've had were made of cork. I think that they moulded to my hand...

I can't see it. However, from umpire pov, hitting the ball from a wide position always favours a side call.

Spoken like a true EJ. Right on, Brother! 😎

I see what you did there😁

Years ago it was discussed on one of the forums. I can't remember the exact details but the story was something like; ESN was setup/owned by the owner of Donic who actually led the team that created Tensor rubbers. That's why the first Tensor rubbers were Donic branded. So in effect, ESN rubbers...

I remember that Olympics, I watched several matches live on TV. Waldner was playing out of his skin, showing all the skills/tactics that his experience could deliver. But RSM and Wang Hao (vs Wang Li Qin) were simply on a higher plain to everyone else. I never saw RSM play like that before or...

No. Edit to say yes you may. But in the same manner he's then entitled to tell you "F-off". Assuming there's no umpire of course.

Blame the Irish Personally, I blame the Irish for starting all this foot stomping stuff.
