I feel your pain. Some players at my club would start smashing every ball back when we do drive-to-drive, or even worse -- when we do an actual exercise. I always go slower when it's my turn, and so the ball is on the table much longer. When their turn comes, they seem to enjoy the little bit of...

Can't say I like this angle. Rather than focusing on either the speed of the play (current WTT angle) or the spin and positioning (with the original angle), this angle kind of shows nothing and has no wow factor. To each their own, I guess.

I'm using Joola's sealant. VOC-free, from a well known brand, and for a decent price of 13$ on Amazon. For each side, I apply a thin first coat, followed by wiping off the excess with a paper towel, wait 24 hours, clean the blade properly with my hand, and repeat once more. I cant' tell any...

I was under the impression that the women's game was more strategic than the men's, with more quick thinking and creativity -- but I've only watched a small number of matches compared to men's matches. Men's game is more of an "overpowering" the opponent to win, whether it's with speed or spin...

That's awesome. Is that a public project on Git?

I don't think it's too different from Americans dominating basketball for example. Sure, it makes it more interesting to watch a game between two different nations, but personally I'd prefer seeing the most skilled players in competitions, and not the most diverse.

These ones. I've been using them for a year now at home. They are much better than any Donic/Andro/Butterfly/Joola training balls I've played with, and they are dirt cheap (pretty sure you can get them for even cheaper if you get them from the global Amazon).

Quoting your own status: "You write but do you think?".

I wish Harimoto would yell "FUCK YEA LETS GO" with every point. He'd instantly become my favorite.

Personally, I wouldn't mind either. Harimoto isn't doing anything against the rule, and players like Lebruns who get annoyed are only ruining their own game. You can see it more clearly with Felix, he is younger and less mature, and so he is screwing his own mentality many times. It's like WCQ...

People nowadays complain about a problem, and offer no solutions.

Recently played against a few players who apologized when I missed a serve. Is that common? Seems excessive to me honestly.

Recently started practicing bouncing with the ball after following this thread. Had one club practice since, and this is 100% mandatory to play well. I played way better than I usually do, simply because I was focusing on recovering, and even managed to beat a player I haven't beaten before. It...

It's double the Xs, which obviously means double the performance, so why retire the previous one?

I've been playing for just over a year now, and today I got to try a friend's new Viscaria setup. He has been playing for 10 or so months. I can see why people say it is not suitable for beginners. It felt nice on my forehand, but I didn't notice more spin compared to my Violin setup, probably...

You are basically saying the exact same thing. You said faster equipment flattens the curve, and I would add a whole list of other aspects of the equipment that do the same. What you are talking about is what players and manufacturers called 'control' to avoid diving into mathematics.

I had Palio Energy 03 paired with CJ8000 on both sides (tried all kinds of different hardnesses with the CJ to feel and understand how they differ), which I assume is very very close to what you are using. It served me well for the 6 or 7 months I used it, but it was slow for anything other than...

Adam and Pongfinity were the ones who brought me into this sport a little more than a year ago. Not long after that I started watching TTD too. I think YouTube is an amazing platform for reaching out to people and showing them how fun the sport is (or any other hobby or possible career path for...
