Seriously that's too funny. So before I can push post on mine a guy comes in with #21 and he's the one guy who does say Chinese tacky, and with a very creative, boutique rubber as well. Style points for that. So the [corrected] state of play after 21 posts: 98.6% of the recommendations...

There are many suggestions. Kind of shows how little it matters which ESN rubber you choose. As a practical matter there exist four rubbers: ESN grippy Chinese tacky Spring sponge ESN hybrid/tacky-ish 98.6% of the recommendations here are to buy any ESN grippy rubber. Plus the one guy who...

Or donic baracuda for BH? OP mentioned donic rubbers. barracuda was one of the earlier T05 substitutes. Super easy to play and quite durable. Has been replaced by new tech for the new ball, but probably still plays quite nicely.

in fairness, they make some really nice cars

Aibiss is not sticky. Do not buy it. Hardest sponge ever.

It is definitely Springtime for Billionaires, like Marc Andreessen. I well remember when it was Morning Again in America (Ronald Reagan's 1984 re-election campaign slogan). This doesn't feel a lot like that, tbh.

These ones can trash-sing robots

If you lose to someone you feel you should not lose to, then the rubber is dead.

Wow, the WS is not very promising. But maybe the youth are not ranked high enough to compete?

Who won the WS? Or is that still pending a final?

Who won?

I don't disagree though. Some sportsmanship would be nice. Also good to not embarrass the player you are supposedly fan of....

Manyu probably still feels happy. Pretty sure she'd rather be Asian Cup champion with a few fans, than first loser but all the fans.

Nice! Hope you see some great matches.

Don't worry about fade until you can consistently play straight parallel balls. Then watch the OG Women's gold medal match and see CM fade SYS over and over. Learn from the best. In the OP you answered your own question. You can only play parallel if you turn your body a little. So turn...

Also equally (more?) possible to have three WCNT on that side. And three on the other side. Which would make all of them, if my maths are correct.

Will either of hayata and Ito make it to the qtrs? Unlikely but conceivable to have three WJNT on that side of qtrs. Sadly for them, the fourth Chinese player is quite strong.

Russophobia is actually an interesting thing with a distinguished history. Igor, why OOAK anyway? Are you a nasty pipster? OOAK specializes in nasty pipes.

I don't really feel like five or six of the best players in the world should be screwed out of competing in their continental cup to make the semis more exciting for you. But whatever.
