Also Zhu Yuling. Does anyone know if she still trains with CNT?

I find it very strategic the teams are formed by pairing the foreign players with lower tier CNT members. The only exception is LYJ - feels like a very calculated move to boost fellow lefthander’s HYZ development and suggests the hierarchy is confident they’ve solved his game enough to allow...

Urgh. “Facts matter” and proceeds to leave out and getting facts wrong. The fact is you didn’t have the decency to spell names correctly…

It’s like Red Bull’s F1 car, with Max Verstappen behind the wheel it’s fast, precise and performing at full potential. He is a world title challenger in the car. Now, putting it in the hands of his teammates, first Liam Lawson and now Yuki Tsunoda, it becomes slow, challenging and twitchy. So...

Yes and it must be the extra thickness that keeps it from bottoming during your hard impacts. YEO gives such great sensations when hitting hard through the sponge and trying to get into the core. There doesn’t seem to be an upper limit, it can keep giving more, it was just the issue of...

@S2000 is this for FH and are you impacting the ball hard?

A barometer of this is if you can physically be able to hit 50 balls @ 90-100% during multi ball whether it goes in or out. This seems too niche and not practical as it relates to table tennis but I guess you can do specialised training to make it happen, like in diving, fencing, archery and...

The behaviour between hybrid (D09c/G09c) and H3 (and presumably Skyline 2) is stark, like night and day. The cart analogy actually fits really well as unintended, as the cart is H3/TG2 and the horse is YEO 😂 The Yasaka designers with Ma Lin did a really excellent job of synergising YEO with...

Turns out for YEO the secret sauce isn’t in the technique or the number of training sessions, it’s just Hurricane 3. The unexpected net clips are gone and everything feels much, much, (much!) more intuitive now. That said, I’m a bit confused…. I would’ve thought a low-trajectory rubber like...

“Sörling received 104 votes, while her opponent, Khalil Al-Mohannadi (QAT), received 102” “It also highlighted the outcome of the paper vote, where Al-Mohannadi led by 98 to 87” So Sörling won the online vote 17-4. My question is: What exactly did Sörling offer those online voters that...

I hope you put Kirill’s uniform in the dryer at max heat to shrink it

Also it was noted that the koto was drier on FZD vs Super Vis for those that didn’t seal their blades initially. We felt rubber could stick down firmer and more securely on FZD using the same amount of glue and glue type. Usually 1 layer DHS No.15 non boosting.

I found similar differences with Super Vis vs FZD SALC. I had both at the same weight and tried other clubmates. FZD SALC = softer, more dwell, bigger fuller handle. Super Vis = clearer feedback, faster and/or more responsive, weight toward head. It’s almost as if Butterfly employ different...

For Minatoku Sports Centre remember to pack your indoor sports shoes, separate from the shoes you walk to the centre in. Otherwise they will ask you to pay for shoe hire. If there’s no one at the hall (unlikely) there’s swimming pool (free for 2 hours), gym (300¥ extra) and other sports on...

If it looks like a shitshow, sounds like a shitshow and moves like a shitshow, then in ITTF/WTT terms ALL is perfectly fine. Totally under control like H3 un(boosted). Move along folks, nothing to see here (except legal serves and FZD who? Choppers who?) Oh look! Over there everyone, Rio is...

Please get Kirill some better fitting clothing… he is swimming in those!

Completely agree with this. Within the speed category, there’s other layers of nuance as above and many more down the rabbit hole. The top 5 blades listed by others won’t necessarily suit you but if you go into this with an open mind, you’ll start to appreciate how different factors like...

China: Depending on where you stand, they can be seen as masters at maximising, or exploiting - the rules to their advantage. In a word: gamesmanship Boosting Delay of game / toilet breaks at strategic moments Borderline legal serves That said, I do appreciate their on-court temperament and...

Really liking the plot twist how you start with ‘not so sure’ and end up writing a promo for why TTR is necessary
