Agree fully. Especially about lower level players today playing more varied strokes. But a big reason for that is YouTube. The average amateur players today are much more aware of advanced techniques than even in the nineties. A major feature of the 38mm was that a topspin stroke would carry its...

If you want collectible, then you don't want a blade that you are going to use. Otherwise your 3rd para basically shows where your money should go.

Sorry to resurrect this thread but this suggestion keeps being resurrected every few months. And every time the original suggestor forgets that not all players use a shakehand grip.

"I think he barely counterloops 20% of them during the matches." Do you really mean 20%? To me, that's a very significant number for a whole match.

The term you are looking for is 'flash to bang'. That's why a ball from a simple push from an lp ox player can arrive so much quicker than your boosted whatever.

How was the national qualifiers for you?
