Well played Anna Hursey!

I think that more important than the amount of spin, is the deception both in terms of the type of spin and where the ball will bounce.

October dates in London look pretty good for anyone playing champions Montpellier.

I think if you are ranked about 300 ish then 15 points is quite a lot, you might gain 40 or 50 places? Can sort of see your point around timing, I think there were quite a lot of Spanish French and Polish players, and not many Asian or American players, who maybe won’t travel so far for a...

This seems to be working out quite well this year. We have a number of uk players in round of 16 or better so far, hopefully this is enough to lift their rankings enough to gain direct entry to the main draw at other feeders🫰

Have already put star contender London on calendar though!

I can’t make it this year unfortunately, wife and kids filled up calendar before I realised dates☹️

We tried 2 tone balls at our club to help beginners. It only really helps to highlight very low spin balls, everything else just looks like a slightly paler orange, exactly the same for chop and topspin. So I don’t think the multi coloured ball iidea would work to make it more TV or audience...

Gatien?

What is criteria to get on list? Should schlager and person be there as a world champions? What about Hugo and Ovtcharov for world cups?

Sabine Winter mixing anti and forehand rockets against Bajor, great game and great win.

Great to hear🏓

Everything is going wrong… I messed up the start time / my time zone difference. Then when I did join the stream the combination of small screen, side angle, white background is unfortunate. Good to see it’s available to watch though!

I only seal my blades when I am using a glue sheet (I have never been able to glue ox sheets well with traditional glues), the instructions for the glue sheets I use advise to seal, so in that case I do. In recent years I’m using Yinhe blades, they may be factory sealed, I don’t know. I’ve...

Well we used bicycle glues etc for years before the voc ban, and never really seemed to damage our blades… I haven’t done a scientific study, my thoughts and observations are given freely. You can choose to either try them yourself and see how it works for you or reject them. Trying it...

I have only ever used the whale. I think that the whale is sold as “speed glue”, the dolphin is just glue. I have never bought or used the dolphin so I can’t say much more about it. The whale dries / evaporates quickly on the blade and leaves a thin mildly tacky film. My thought is that...

This is what I usually do, a layer of haifu whale on the blade, 2 layers of water based glue on the sponge. It sticks the rubber down absolutely fine, and it’s easy to remove when you want to change sheets, I don’t play anywhere there will be a VOC test, so no chance of failing a racket control...

Hmmm I have a consultant appointment later in the year, hopefully they can fix me and I’ll play a bit better!

Without an influx of elite players I think Ma Long could probably spot the current players in MLTT 5 or 6 points a game and still end up with an overall winning record. Aside from all money and practicality issues, do we think there’s any current MLTT player who would reliably beat Chen Meng?

I wonder why we have flatness test?
