That's my kind of mercy point. Sometimes I give those in the middle of the first game! From now on, all my clownish service mistakes are rebadged as "mercy points" in honor of that 5th game.

That counter off ML's massive FH to win the 3rd game! Amazing. Can he keep this level of play up? He's playing some insane low-percentage stuff. Hmm. I think we can write the 5th game off....

The original Kingnik seamless is being removed from the approval list on 30th June, so it's very likely that they're out of production now.

They're on the approval list so they exist and have passed the ITTF's, er, rigorous testing process. A commercial release can't be far behind. How well they play is another matter of course.

I'm not sure what the Nexcell is yet - hopefully it will be cheaper than the Premium. They might have a period of having a monopoly on orange balls though...

I'm going for a comfortable Fan 5th. But who knows? I've never seen Geraldo play like this before.

Fan is made from material from the heart of a neutron star. What a match so far though!

Aaaaaaand....gone.

Nothing yet. I'll post as soon as I see anything real in the wild!

ORRRRAAAAANNNGGEEEEEE. The orange variant was added on 24th April.

BIG BALL UPDATE NEWS. Hold on to your delicate bits...on the approval list... Nittaku - Nexcell 40+ - Plastic with seam - ORANGE 3*

And Contra have them listed as: Nostalgic Allround - €75 Nostalgic Offensive - €85 Nostalgic VII - €95

Great setup! Best blade Adidas ever released IMO.

It's almost impossible to know what Xiom mean when they say elasto blah or cycloid thingy. It probably relates to something ESN do in the factory, but what exactly and if it's unique to Xiom rubbers it's just too hard to say. I've picked up a sheet of Vega Tour, 2.0mm, red. Compared to a...

He's got a chance - you never know! I know it won't be a popular opinion, but I do wonder if the choice of ball has factored in to some degree. Butterfly G40+ here, different ball for the wtttc. If I had to prioritise training and adjustment time I'd probably put the wtttc above the...

Absolutely.

It's not this result particularly (Eugene has caused trouble for better players than Drinkhall) - it's everything since Xmas. And it's the unforced errors. Uncharacteristic, or at least in comparison with the last few years. It reminds me more of the Drinkhall of 5 years ago. Probably just form.

Man, Paul looks out of sorts at the moment.

These are 404ing now. Maybe Contra jumped the gun? The Nostaglic series look like Allround and Offensive Classics but with wenge outers. So what are the Azaleas? Allround and Offensive Classics but with pink logos?

I only have myself to blame.
