Do you guys plan on having a Black Friday sale? I was gonna visit your company when I was in China but unfortunately a typhoon hit exactly when I was in Shanghai :confused:

Should try the WMY blade or the Inspira Hybrid. I only briefly hit the golden Vis and the Inspira Hybrid with the same rubbers, but they felt rather similar. Both felt much more woody than the regular Vis and FZD I have.

On brush loops you'll feel the ball leaving the racket much quicker with the Viscaria, thus requiring a bit more precision. On any shot hitting into the blade you'll feel the W968 having much higher throw angle, naturally creating an arc, while the Viscaria will be much quicker and more direct...

How's that screaming? You're way too soft if you can't even handle coaching like that. With that said, I think coaching needs to be individualized. Some people respond better to words of encouragement, a softer coaching style, while some respond better to a more fiery, tough-love style. It's...

Whats most important IMO isn't the wings, it's the relative lack of pores on the ayous core as you go up the level with HL5 variants.

You can probably put a piece of friction tape there. I did that for RPB on the BH side for better grip.

Yeah I'm still using it. I'm going for the opening as much as possible, I go for kills only when the opponent block. In rallies Igo more for spin. As for more punch style with a lot of elbow movement vs the elbow to the side more as a fulcrum, I'm still trying to figure it out. I kind of just...

So to summarize: 1) Be more aggressive and attack first as well as utilizing tactics that will allow you to attack first, e.g. serve short, more topspin/no spin. 2) Learn better blocks, e.g. block earlier off the bounce and go over the ball 3) Call out the illegal serves. I think those are...

LSD's been called many times before. WCQ does seem to get away with it more often than most.

Everything in a match except for tactics SHOULD be automatic. You cannot be thinking about footwork, recovery, form, how to read spin, how to anticipate, etc. in a match. The only thing you should be thinking about beyond the service/receive stage is things like "I should use more spin/speed" or...

I've played with both the W968 and the Viscaria, and I often also play against them. All with various rubbers though for the FH side it's primarily H3 BS. My conclusion on the FH side is pretty similar to others. When fully unleashed, the W968 is a beast with the H3BS, but it does take pretty...

Yes, it's extremely brittle. Don't ever try to peel glue off of a Tenergy FX, even if you don't rip it it'll have countless small holes where the sponge is ripped out.

Must be the service training with Craig!

Pros usually choose setups that accentuate their strengths. They can do that because 1) they have a set style already with strengths and weaknesses and 2) they've developed strategies that allows them to accentuate their relative strengths and hide their relative weaknesses. As an amateur, if...

That's true, I'm not saying that I don't push those balls, just that I see it as a failure in anticipation or footwork if I'm forced to do so. I'm gonna be in China next week! But yeah, bring Ali around, I do wanna try out the 968s, can't get enough of their massive FH power!

I consider it a failure if I push something I could've looped, even if I win the point :ROFLMAO: This gets a LOT harder when you face good servers. They don't necessarily need to trick you with their service, they just need to give you some hesitation, and then the quality of your opening loop...

Hmm, I'm not sure how to "hook" a FH loop to the opponent's BH side, especially when the ball is curving toward you. When I think about hooking, I'm thinking hooking a FH shot to the opponent's FH side.

Oh you're right, he must've changed. That looks like a Yasaka Athletico Power.

Golden Vis or the FZD variant of it I believe. He's one of my fav commercial players, has beaten a lot of ex-CNT players on the commercial circuit like Yan An, Zhou Yu, etc. It's interesting to see how he managed against the bigger names like FZD and Xu Xin this tournament.

Yeah, start that way for sure, then work your way to against the spin. It's easier to go against the spin when you're hitting cross table, e.g. looping a FH pendulum serve with your FH to the opponent's FH corner, or looping a reverse pendulum serve with your BH to your opponent's BH corner...
