I liked his cheeky reference to not being able to make it to the semifinals lately, I think he knows his new nickname quite well :ROFLMAO:

Fine, truce then, back to the tournament.

Oh I see, so you consider the Chinese culture to have crappy moral standards? Let it all out my man, don't hold that racist inner self back. Maybe your superior white compatriots can go invade them and colonize them for a few hundred years to civilized them.

Have you not heard Adam Bobrow calling FZD "little fatty"? He got that from CNT fans belovingly calling him by that nickname. You should open your mind to cultural differences. There exists a world outside of your cocoon where being fat or skinny can just be a matter of fact and not a stigma.

That's certainly one thing @zeio and most Chinese probably wouldn't like to see being imported from the west :eek:

Your comment is quite paternalistic and sexist. Nobody seems to take any issue with FZD being called "little fatty" or LJK being called "big fatty", but comment on SYS's love handles and that's a no-no? Does that mean women should care more about their appearance than men? That they should feel...

It actually is a culture thing. Many Chinese indeed don't believe in fat-shaming because to them there is no shame in being fat. My Chinese relatives are extremely careful in being polite but regularly comment on people's weight. Due to the long and frequent histories of famines in China...

So I'm now on week 4 in my quest to perfect my FH, and I'm super close! The 2nd to last piece is falling into place now. I'm already solid with hip rotation and activation sequence, not yet at a point where it's my default but they're at a point where I just need to remember to do them as they...

If you can double sock and still fit in the shoe then maybe you need smaller/narrower shoes? I usually get athletic shoes on the smaller side to make sure they fit snug and my feet don't move in them.

Every well used W968 I've seen that's unsealed has splinters. I would recommend sealing it unless you change rubbers very often (before it hardens) or change blades often.

After the boosting effect wears away the H3 is still fairly playable. The glue also hardens after a couple months though, so it may be time to reboost after that. Don't reboost a lot, I use just enough to make the rubber flat again. After the 2nd reboost the rubber feels rather mushy. You can...

I've always had a powerful FH slot, but recently I've been tinkering a lot with all the nuances the FH, trying to understand every aspect of it and perfecting it. My advice is just don't worry too much about the racket angle. Pay attention to everything else, your feet, your legs, your hip...

So I've been working on my FH form in earnest since I right before I left for China. I've worked on it here and there, but I'm finally feeling reasonably comfortable with my BH so I'm determined to work on FH now and get it right. I'm doing almost exclusively training right now, trying to get...

Check out this video where 2 ex-CNT team members talk about it, along with slow motion videos of them executing the technique. My understanding is that the difference between the FH and BH is that for FH you have a right to left weight transfer, while for BH you're rotating around the right...

Awesome, will do! The bouncing of the rails mechanism really isn't ideal. The unwanted sidespin is one of the top annoyances to me as it makes every multi-location drill a real pain. It also takes a lot of speed and topspin off the ball when you're trying to lower the trajectory as the ball...

I arrived 10/29 afternoon and left 11/2 morning, so my only 2 full days in Shanghai exactly coincided with the typhoon 😭 Unfortunately I probably won't be back for a while, but I'll probably take advantage of the BF sales and get myself a Halo.

Wait until you see LSD's blade, I heard it'll prevent your opponents from seeing your serves 🤭

Possibly, but right now I'm just focusing on working on my technique.

Right, having a high ELO means being the most dominant for the longest time while playing, so that'd be Ma Long by a long shot. WLQ would probably be number two. Everyone else is fighting for number three.

After boosting it weighs about the same as D09c. Very similar in hardness as well when measured on durometer, just slightly harder. Keep in mind though that I can only measure its hardness with both the sponge and topsheet, not just the sponge by itself.
