And yet baseball has a problem with athletes cheating with the use of performance enhancing drugs 🤷🏻‍♂️ https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doping_in_baseball

This is world we live in now, people unable to address their own shortcomings, so look to blame externally instead of improving themselves. “A clever person takes notice of everything; a stupid one makes a comment about everything” -Heinrich Heine

On the flip side why not ban composite fibers and just allow all wooden blades like in the good ol days?

For this control type game without wanting to necessarily overpower your opponent I think Glayzer 09c should be seriously considered. G09c is a blocking monster and excellent at countering and short game. Attack wise it does not have penetrative ability of the other hybrids on your list. G09c...

There was a time he was considered the “lesser” of the big 3 wunderkids coming through between himself, Harimoto and LYJ. By virtue of having access to better resources, training, coaching, practice partners, structure, etc he is fully realising his talent - which naturally causes some...

There’s a 2nd Defplay version: Defplay Classic Senso which is slower due to balsa core and koto outer ply as opposed to abachi core and anigre outer ply on your Defplay Senso. Just be aware nothing feels similiar to the attacking ability of Defplay Senso at the same Def+/All speed. Only you...

Defplay Senso is quite dampening on shots where your body/forearm/wrist can remain relatively still - I believe due to the gabon intermediate ply. However, it also has a 2nd personality being a thin 5 ply allwood with the V3 hollow handle where, when activated, it can flex tremendously and...

D09c has a higher power ceiling and spin potential vs G09c. As an approximation, for me 15-20% more. For people with excellent technique it can be even more I would think. G09c is an absolute blocking monster, so stable, so consistent. Similar short game for both.

Hmmm okay fair enough. I don’t use H3 personally, though I believe not many people have the strength to hit into the denser blue sponge on the backhand wing loopwise, hence why everyone that buys it would put it on the forehand side, where naturally it is a bigger stroke and more power can be...

I hope fewer and fewer people buy G09c so it can get even cheaper! I myself cannot get 100% along with ESN or Daiki on my forehand ever since Rasant PG had been discontinued; Coppa, Hexer, Rasanter, Omega, Omega China, Vega, Rakza, Mantra, Tango, Goldarc, Dragongrip, Etika and now Hammond Z2...

Why don’t you let us know, would you not have a spare BS lying around when you already use OS? I guess my opinion on this forum is why wake a thread when the path of least resistance would be to add value with your own thoughts instead of seeking others?

Basketball footwear is where most of the big consumer brands are investing big $$$ and is where a lot of innovation is coming from. In the last few years Puma, New Balance, ASICS and recently even Sketchers have gotten in seriously - marketing and sponsoring prominent NBA and WNBA players...

Along with Aruna suggested above, Adriana Diaz is very much someone who can boss a match against the best with BH punch technique. Jeong Youngsik was quite punchy with his backhand, before him you would be looking a further back at Primorac, Samsonov, Persson and of course Waldner

I’ve always considered hybrid to mean sticky or tacky topsheet with a bouncy sponge. To keep it simple, the stickiness (or tackiness) to vary depending on the formulation requested/created by the manufacturer. As discussed in this thread...

If what you are saying is correct around the thinner koto top ply, this should be why it is so responsive on your slap flick shot. I am a Super ALC user and for this shot I have figured out I have to hit on the lower half of the racket face, the part closest to the table and that the speed...

Isn’t MX-P in 🇩🇪 packaging colours the “Pro” version? Though I might be thinking of the National version. It was the one used by Samsonov and a few others. Yeah I would be very interested in V>15 Sticky if it is not as tacky as TDE, however it could cannibalise sales of V>20 from a strategic...

The equivalent to Infinity MX-P that Jorgic uses for the past few years but not generally available to the public

So you are saying in a *split second* you are able to determine the ball trajectory, direction, spin and speed and calculate to the best of your abilities your most optimum return within the flow of a rally BUT you need to delay your opponent about to or already in their service motion for...

The game should be played at the server’s pace. At least that should be the etiquette. It’s creeping in for the receiver to intentional disrupt, slow down or time waste to try to gain a psychological edge. I believe a coach can give tips now in between points like the rule change in Tennis...

Pros definitely EJ from time to time or in the offseason. Remember they have more quality table time and with practice partners able to place and drill the ball where they want it. So what would take amateurs 2-4 weeks to comprehensively test, it would be no longer than 1 week for a pro to...
