Does Prott, based out of Hong Kong, also get affected by tariff?

Viscaria alc with friendship battle 3 on the forehand and vega x on the backhand.

Talking about having team coach at the right venue with the players...On table 2 live stream right now, it was Japanese XD, followed by Japanese WD and now Japanese woman's single (Min Hirano). Maybe WTT heard our complaint on TTD forum and scheduled all the Japanese players on table 2 right now...

Price, durability, prestige, feeling, performance, quality control, etc. etc. Often times, people equate high prices with quality. So Butterfly being more expensive must be better. But on a more serious note, some people are used to playing with Tenergy and its Spring Sponge technology. Yes...

He is solid 1900. To have a win rate of 25-30% against 2000-2100 level player, solid 1900 sounds about right. Any lower (like 1700 or 1800), the win rate would be almost 0.

I find the thread entertaining because people throw out different ideas, showing that there are many routes to 2100. And I agree with that. As for coaching, I know what TB is referring to. I see that at my club as well. Some former top players turning coaches have burned out on the sport and...

Agree. Very helpful thread. And entertaining thread too :)

You probably did not get any feedback because your forms and your mechanics look to be very good. You also attacked on almost all the serves that were long toward you. So nothing much to say other than keep on practicing! Is there any reason you want to try hybrid rubber on your forehand? You...

I did not do better than you did. here are my answers Side spin Side top (this one is easy. He flicked his wrist at the end of the serve) Side under (I was going to say backspin but it was not one of the choices) Top spin (pretty easy. No disguise whatsoever) Side under (pretty straight...

You cannot expect to watch 20 hours of Craig Bryant's serves and be able return his serves. Instead, you need to attempt to RETURN his serves for 20 hours in order to be able to return it. There is a big difference between seeing/looking v.s. actually doing it. It is like, you can watch two...

You HAVE to pair it with Golden Viscaria!!!

Thank you! So no way to buy a bundle to all 16 sessions? Also for the VIP experience, do you have the buy the VIP seating from Ticketmaster's AND then buy VIP experience from WTT website? If so, the price is pretty hefty! I am also interested in the $250 warm-up experience which to me might be...

So I am just playing with the website. You have to order the tickets through Ticketmasters? And there are 16 sessions so you have to buy each session separately? I will play with the website more. Thank you for any feedback.

Short backspin coupled with short no spin. Yes, I agree with the other posters. Don't put too much side spin unless your partner can handle the side spin coming back. Also straight backspin is harder to return with a chiquita flip from the opponent (when you use a chiquita flip, you can borrow...

I agree with you. OP's forehand looks good. I can definitely see some weight distribution and core being used. When he is in rhythm and the ball is coming at him, it looks good. The OP can certainly relax more and has a bit more explosion in the loop. But I also agree that it is something one...

I agree 100%. I have tried a lot of rubbers to replace hurricane and cannot find anything close to it. I would say Rxton 9 blue sponge is pretty close. Outside of Chinese rubber, the ONLY one I would consider is Dignics 09c. It feels just like boosted hurricane and the short game, hurricane is...

Butterfly series of inner carbon alc and zlc have some vibration.

Rakza 7 soft, Xiom Vega Europe and M3 are pretty good choices (I have played with R7 soft, Vega Europe and M2 before. I assume M3 is simply softer than M3). I would not go for V15 Limber as it might be a bit slow but maybe that is what you are looking for right now. Ma Lin Carbon is not...

In over 7-8 years of ordering TT equipment abroad, last year, I did get hit with tariffs once. In 2024, my package got stopped at the US custom. Since FedEx is the delivering service, they paid for the tariff and then sent me an invoice. I did not realize that was the case (with everything...

If you have never played long pips before, start with ox (i.e. no sponge). I agree with the other poster. Putting 1.6mm sponge on a long pips actually defeats the purpose of having long pips in the first place. If you want deception and wobbly feeling toward the opponent, the ox version gives...
