“Almost a walkover”, well… they could’t hit an elephant from this dist

I'm not seeing any pix.

Very sad to see Samsonovs career go out with a long whisper in Covid-tine. I’ve wished him a bang. He’s been an inspiration - for so long. That versatile style! That fluidity, that touch!

I’ve played all these for quite a while. Rozena is a robust overall workhorse that does everything well. The feeling of that sponge (the same as the regular tenergies) I find very nice. Fun to play, and high but not ultimate levels of speed. Decent spin. Gold Arc 8 has a firm, but not...

Ouch. Why? Vladi being able to participate was my one redeeming factor towards accepting the silliness of not canceling this global superspreader event.

Some people actually like heavier blades, as they pack a bit more punch and usually feel a bit more soild. The sensation of heaviness, however, is determined more by the balance of the blade, in my experience, than the actual weight. A lighter blade balanced more towards the head feels heavier...

With glue especially, the "less is more" adagium holds true. Thin layers make strong bonds. I've no experience with FineZip, but have used Andro, Butterfly, Donic, and Gewo waterbased glues successfully that way - even with notoriously hard to glue rubbers, such as 729FX.

Context required! But I'm going to say, whenever possible, use OpenSSH's scp/sftp in combination with public key authentication. For automatic synchronisation, use something like rsync or unison over ssh. (Previous suggestions entail putting your content in the hands of a third party. If your...

Yes. That last little jump is the big one; not all players get there, many fail just below the top. Kallberg’s been rising for a while, and now seems to be breaking through to a higher level. Like he did so many times before. Love him madly.

T05 does what it does and it does it well. Your Offensive S is an excellent blade as well and neither blade nor rubbers are picky in what they will work with. Equipment does what it does. It is up to you, the player, to make it sing-or weep.

The "workaround" of using the "Edit Profile" in the left column (Edit Profile) still works for me.

I’m having strong Eliza flashbacks.

My candidate: “twin ply sponge”, an abhorrence that I fell for +/- 40 years ago. It still haunts my nightmares. Looks like it’s been erased from recorded history. Rightfully so.

Way back when I played with Mark V in 2.5mm. There were way much more choppers back then, and I've always had barrels of fun playing them, shaping the curve of the ball to suit. The short game was more challenging, and when rallies turned flatter I didn't think it beneficial. I'm using "MAX" on...

The pips part has had some attention. Good.Will you be chopping with the inverted (normal flat) rubber as well, as in: old school defender style? Or do you intend to play with an aggressive counterloop and attack on the FH, sometimes resorting to fishing when that's nog possible, using...

Yet "only" about 10.000 of 80.000 volunteers (the people actually making it happen) have quit. That's probably not enough, by itself.

I have one asymmetric blade, with different outer layers, anegre and koto, over limba/alc/kiri. It works well, but anegre and koto are not worlds apart-and in the end I settled upon koto.

Also played again. Prior to covid restrictions, I’d been incapacitated for a while already, including a few months in which I could not even walk. Though that subsided, injuries did flare up just weeks before we weren given the green light. Even so, playing again felt like a miracle. It took...

Well, I hope she will find a new life in which she’s much much more than a trophy wife to some or other magnate. A life on her own terms. A life in balance. Like I would hope for everybody, really.

Everyhing goes! I remember people playing Sriver-L on the H-1-9 with high quality.
