  1. Chengdu IN LOCKDOWN - will WTTC be delayed?

    Actually yes they can. Have you ever heard of the Japanese internment? Several of our family friend's were interned for 4 years and lost all of their life assets. So yes, there is a lot that you are not knowledgeable about. You're probably too biased to understand this: but when push comes to...
  2. Hybrid rubbers how close to Tacky Chinese or Grippy ESN spring sponge?

    BTW it seems like Victas and Donic and Andro are always up to date with the latest ESN technology and coming out with new rubbers. But why does it seem as if Nittaku and Yasaka are way behind? Nittaku is still on their fastarc series, which is from 2012 or something? And Yasaka is still on...
  3. Hybrid rubbers how close to Tacky Chinese or Grippy ESN spring sponge?

    So with the TDE on FH, are you playing both sides black for now? It seems like you have been testing rubbers for quite a while. I know the TT brands come out with rubbers often, but not THAT often. Do you ever run out of rubbers to test and have to wait until the next major launch of a rubber...
  4. Hybrid rubbers how close to Tacky Chinese or Grippy ESN spring sponge?

    Whaat, you are playing 55 degree sponge on your BH now??
  5. Chengdu IN LOCKDOWN - will WTTC be delayed?

    Exactly. You are proving my point. The citizens of china will be satisfied or dissatisfied with the ccp based on the quality of their life. Its not all the political reasons that you are saying. One day if their lives become too painful to bear, the citizens will revolt against the CCP. But if...
  6. What is Joola Global Championship?

    Well its not that i dont want to be 2000. But even with a coach, i dont see it happening. Its not a magic button i can push to automatically be 2000. Actually my goal is to get to 1800 in 2023. But my practices have been garbage as of late. Im probably reversing my gains of the summer. Who...
  7. SDC Handmade Blades - website launch

    Its a little hard to tell which photo goes with which description.
  8. Chengdu IN LOCKDOWN - will WTTC be delayed?

    The quality of a government should be based on how well they meet the objectives of their citizens. In that sense, most citizens in China are happy with how their lives have improved during the past 40 years. Certainly the government in China has failed their citizens' objectives in some areas...
  9. Is MXP-50 too hard for backhand?

    Yes I have Rxton 5, and I like it a lot. It is indeed very hard. I think it would be like 40 or 41 on the DHS scale. I'm pretty sure that Rxton 5 would be a few degrees harder than MXP 50. Rxton 5 on the ESN scale might be 54 or 55 I think. In your case, I really don't know. People with...
  10. What is Joola Global Championship?

    Thanks but no thanks to the coach. I'm not trying to be world champion here. If I can raise my game a little bit, that's accomplishment enough. I'd rather use my money on something more valuable to me. And I like changing rubbers because it gives me energy and motivation to keep playing. It's...
  11. What is Joola Global Championship?

    I didn't say I think I would win the 1600. I said I have a non-zero chance to win. I stand by this statement. If there are 100 people in the tournament, I think I would have a 0.5% to 1.0% chance to win the tournament. I'm not proud of winning the U1000. I'm just making a statement without...
  12. What is Joola Global Championship?

    I stand by my statement that I think I could win the U1000 tournament. If you disagree, that doesn't bother me at all and you have the right to think otherwise.
  13. What is Joola Global Championship?

    Well I'm not so serious about playing tournaments. I was just poking fun at the tournament for having literally Olympics playing in the same tournament as U1000 players. I still struggle against lower level players than high level players. I play my best against 1600-1700 players. I tend to...
  14. Is MXP-50 too hard for backhand?

    Well the actual reason is because my friend's rubber get's paid for by his school team, so he offered to give me a couple sheets of MXP. So I just wondered whether I should get 2 of the the same rubber, or maybe try the MXP-50 for some variation. But I suppose the variation is pointless if the...
  15. Favorite cheap chinese semi tacky (half sticky) rubbers

    just the original big dipper.
  16. What is Joola Global Championship?

    I think I have a chance to win the U1600 event or the U1400 event, or the U1200 event. I'm fairly certain that I would win the U1000 event. But Florida is too far.
  17. Favorite cheap chinese semi tacky (half sticky) rubbers

    The best ones are Yinhe Big Dipper, Jupiter 3, Apollo 5, Friendship Bloom Power. All of them are fast and bouncy and semi-tacky. Loki GTX can be good, but needs baby oil and booster. When tuned right, it is quite fast, powerful, and semi-tacky like a hybrid.
  18. Sanwei Target Pro 3

    Well I am looking forward to hearing your review. For me, the rubber is a little bouncier than I was expecting. I don't know if it's because of Nano penetration or because of the sponge.
  19. Sanwei Target Pro 3

    Target Pro 3 is very different from Big Dipper and Jupiter 3. The latter are much bouncier, and more akin to hybrid rubbers. Target Pro 3 is more traditional, maybe similar to Battle 2 or Rxton 5. Why did you buy so many? do you also run a shop?
  20. What is Joola Global Championship?

    Well yes, I didn't know that there are 67 separate events. I saw the streamed videos on youtube, and just couldn't imagine that those professionals are playing against the players in Aya's video.
