Doesn't seem to be totally cut, thr first character seems to still be legible. If you take a really close up macro shot of the name section I think I can figure out at least the last name of the player.

Like I said, anything beyond the official W968 is a matter of faith. There is no way for anyone to prove any special version is as special as advertised. That goes for any seller anywhere.

The box is that of Golden Slam 968, but the actual blade it's impossible to know. Prott has legit DHS products, including W968s, but whether it's some sort of special players' version or XXX's personal blade it's impossible to know and just a matter of pure faith for us normies.

Haha, believe in yourself! They're no different than soft blocks, and I think you can loop them all day long. Speaking of which, pros don't usually soft block, and they try really, really hard not be farther from the table than they need to. That's why you see far more of the open to closed...

Pros do it all the time, see Ovtcharov attempt one at the 0:40 mark here (hard to time mark as I'm on the phone). He's too far from the table and the ball was low, hence the closed to open attempt. For the LP player, I noticed that you push only to stay in the rally and not to set up your...

Yes, some movement is allowing you to apply pressure on a far higher percentage of shots, not allowing him to use his big swing on your weaker returns. As for the racket angle thing, your long backswing and the closed to open thing are related. You use a more closed to open action when the...

Also, you'll notice that he's always standing beside the table far further up than say LSD whose body is mostly behind the table when he serves pendulum. This way when he rotates the body the ball is still to his side rather than in front of him. See the start of the LSD vs. WCQ game for this...

For me at least it depends on whether the service motion is more or less back-to-front. A more back-to-front service motion benefits more from a backwards toss, as it adds extra spin due to 1) the extra relative motion of the ball to the racket as the ball moves back while the racket moves...

Damn, WCQ beat LSD like he's Harimoto.

The coach is right, and in game situations it's not really your choice. If you're close to the table and the ball is high then you can't wait until it falls. Conversely if you're far from the table then it'd be tough to catch it at the high point. Your choice is more about what distance you play...

Well, not surprising, because you got better! That point at 3:23 where you took 2 steps to get into the optimal position on your BH side for a FH finishing shot, that's a thing of beauty! You're getting low to loop those backspins while he's still standing up straight, contributing to his far...

LSD seems to take advice pretty well. In the last timeout WH told him to be resolute in service receives, and that LYJ has been aggressive in receives, going at his middle, so if it's not comfortable to counterloop then just "bump" it back (he said 磕, which is interesting as it's not the word...

Must be a brave soul to vote for LYJ considering who he's playing against next lol.

At 1-2 Diaz's shot didn't hit the table, it hit WMY's racket, so would've been 3-1 afterwards instead of 2-2.

The 38 on prott is listed with the 37 provincial (you can choose 38 degrees from the drop down menu), and trust me, it's a completely different rubber. It feels like a regular H3, obviously a bit softer than the hardness we typically use on the FH side. I'm gonna see how the 37 works with an...

I don't think you can really survive in this day and age without a good BH. It's not like he has other superlatives to fall back on either. I like HYZ's game a lot better. I'm a bit leery about WRB. XP is another guy without a great BH, so it's hard to see him rise up much further as well...

I played at the closest club today, haven't done so in many months as the schedule doesn't work as well and I don't like the gym flooring very much. There are many better players there now, so I was relegated to the 2nd group based on my previous ratings there. I didn't have much trouble...

Both your BH and FH form from recent videos look real good! I think if you can work a bit on footwork it'd be a real multiplier for your new strokes. Keep in mind that footwork doesn't necessarily mean moving a lot, so much of it is just about shifting weight from one foot to another, or turning...

Probably inner. The wooden layer(s) on top of the dark carbon layer seems to be too thick to be just one layer. My guess is that it's a 968 structure blade, but not sure if it will play more like the W or the Q.

Loki for sure. Probably a new blade named after LJK. The Chinese characters are too blurry to make out, but could be 梁靖崑. The English letters on top are probably stylized LJK.
