with no close matches at WTT finals, even the feeder in dusseldorf is more fun to follow. Twelve supposed top matches at Finals yesterday, and the losing side took four games total? WTF indeed.

Rozena is a nice backhand rubber.

get your wool mittens out! Bernie time!

Not much excitement in the first two semis. Hoping for more from all-Japan WD.

Many well-hidden serves this morning. Makes for dull points.

Predictable. SYS needed to lose to a CNT. Today was her first, best chance to go home. I'm happy for CXT. She worked so hard just to be the fifth player on WCNT. Would be cool if she could win this Finals.

Dude, Chinese people don't believe in fat-shaming. Or put another way, they think fat-shaming is an excellent idea. All kinds of shaming are pretty much okay. So please stop shame-shaming Zeio. It's offensive to his culture.

Stop thinking about looping because you suck right now. Learn to hit. Later, learn to loop.

tips ... 1. stop thinking about equipment 2. stop thinking about looping 3. find a practice partner who can keep the ball on the table 4. play slow forehand hits and make 100 times one ball on the table 5. when 100 times is too easy, make two-point forehand 100 times, same ball when two-point...

There is a cost to getting used to your equipment too. People who try the latest clone or new $30 sanwei rubber every month don't really count that. If you can buy one blade that you love and don't change after a few years of play you will have a great feeling for what that blade will do. If...

How do you feel about your coach? Does he sell you the blade and make money from it? The one good thing about buying super high end new blades is, when you realize it is not for you some other sucker will buy for not much less than you paid. Try the szlc. Maybe you like it, who knows...

It opens because your Brain tells your Body to touch the Ball with the rubber. Body obeys this directive by any means necessary. So if your bat is closed so much that Body cannot touch Ball with rubber, Body opens the bat. I hear you saying - "Dammit Body! Brain also said to Keep the bat...

If you like the handle and weight of Acoustic, try the original all-wood. Your rubbers would fit perfectly, so you can switch the exact sheets over and isolate the difference in the speed and hardness of the two blades. I agree with Zezima about not using a different carbon blade right now...

There are no local pingpong stores in America. And they were not killed by online shopping; they just never were.

I did not realize until reading the WTT PR that Odo is "the first non-China player to lift a Women’s Singles trophy at WTT Champions level." I wonder what kind of odds the bookmakers would have given a year ago on her accomplishing that?

Is it early retirement if you quit after a great ten-year pro career? She accomplished the most in her generation. Will any of these younger girls win more, even Miwa? Remains to be seen.

The absolute best rubber for this style was Gambler Reflectoid at $14 a sheet. So naturally they stopped making it.

tt-japan is 100% reliable. I only get 4 months use from a pair of wave drives. But that's probably bc of playing on bare concrete.
