Is WMY hurt?

Ito really is doing all the coaching between games.

At first I thought this post was about Timo Boll! You know TB, TB ALC, etc. Couldn't figure why Timo should play pickleball.

I just think the decision was extreme. Kallberg was obviously losing her composure as she blew 10-5 lead. The match appeared headed to 5th set. To end the entire team match by awarding a point for an unintentional outburst on a serve that wasn't returned is BS, imo.

Did anyone watch the 5th match of Sweden women vs Singapore? Ended with some kind of protest from kallberg after she missed a receive at 9-10 after being up 10-5. Like she complained the SGP woman was talking or smth? I couldn't believe the umpire awarded her the match and the entire team...

I am the only other Rozena fan on the forums I guess. It's easy to play with, meaning the ball hits the table a lot, goes where you aim it, with good spin, and you can play defense with it, blocking or hitting off-balance shots. The game just becomes more fun to play when I can do more things...

If there is a difference.

I was going to write keep the same rubbers. Then I remembered Cybershape. Nevermind ….

Any of the three blades you nentionwd are fine choices used by tins of developing players. Innerforce constructions feels pretty different to the outer carbon of viscaria and tb alc. Many people love that but not everyone. Try some blades and decide if you prefer inner or outer carbon. Then...

Stiga Clipper is kind of the standard here. Not one of the fancy-pants Clippers, just the normal seven ply wood one.

to not have any serious injuries

Who cares? This is an individual event, it’s not teams. If you think of all the WCNT as if they are one person then sure, pointless. But that is a very strange way to watch an individual tournament.

you got pretty close LOL. respect for covering FL, ST, and CS handles, 7 and 5 ply wood, inner and outer construction, a 45 degree carbon layer, and a blade with two different top plies in only six blades. A darker speed 90 might really suit your SP style, and hinoki is conspicuously...

So it's more like ... Two bats to rule them all Three bats to find them Four [or more] bats to bring them all ...

Need more blades! Will take you too long to try a dozen rubbers on only one or two blades. And you never know, some of the rubbers may combine better with different blades, really should try them all with ALC/ZLC, inner and outer construction. Need more glue also!

There are two parts to receive. Knowing how to touch the ball for any type of spin, or no-spin. And knowing what spin is on the ball in real-time. You should learn the first part first. It’s massively easier. You mostly see players struggle with reverse spin from bh or punch serves, but...

How closely do you look at the serve as it happens? Many times people don't see the spin simply because they aren't looking for it with full attention. It helps a ton if you can get someone to serve at you and not play out the points. Like serve/receive multiball. If the other players where...

imo the new setup is fine. changing all the time is the road to hell. learn with this one blade and rubber combo. practice blocking with it, and particularly drills where you must block to spots for your training partner, like falkenberg, three point fh, etc. Get to where your partner can...

Sorry but this is not true and for sure not based on any personal experience. Borrow an old man's dtecs 0x one day and have someone loop strongly at you, see if you can play one out of ten back on the table. It is so fucking hard.

Why feel worse losing to a blocker than to a looper? Better players are just better. There are many. If you don't like this feeling, sport is not really for you.
