Why are you always asking people different questions and not asking yourself? As I have written before, I have not known anyone who comes into a club with a wood with pimples on the outside, under his arm, never A coach who notices after some time that his player is having a hard time with a...

It has been my job for years.

I suspect top players are also financially supported by their own national federation when they travel the world. No idea for how much.

But are they also required to take those hotels? Just because they promote or recommend them doesn't mean they might have to take them? If it is an obligation, that's how you know WTT has a hand in these hotels of course.

When businesspeople or athletes need to travel frequently, it is best to do so through a good and well-known travel agency. Due to their high frequency, they can obtain conditions to rebook their flights for free or for a small fee. An ordinary citizen with only two flights in a year will...

It's not black & white. "Something wrong" is a huge word, your word, not mine. H3 is a inverted rubber with a little different feeling then other inverted rubbers. You like it or not. You gave me a bad example. Grass D.Tecs with or without mouse, that's an other story. This is a rubber for...

Lol, WTT-mafia at its best. Okay, but does that also mean they are obliged to take them?

Don't they have a free choice of hotel then?

I have had to make hotel and plane bookings for other professionals for years. Very often I had to make last-minute changes/adjustments because the sector did not allow me to make reservations 24 hours in advance. Never had any problems adjusting it. It's just who you want to deal with. Even now...

It is not only a problem in table tennis. In darts, too, for example, the calendar is packed, organisers want to attract the best players and have obligations to their sponsors. Now that darts is becoming wildly popular outside the UK too, these guys have to fly halfway across Europe to maintain...

Mmmmm, as a professional, you may have some advantages in hotel or plane bookings. I'm sure no one will have to bear the costs themselves if something has to be cancelled.

Okay, imagine Dima has technical material on his BH that allows him to push on his FH. Imagine that makes him the No.1 in the world after x-number of months because he can then take advantage thanks to the material due to his shortcomings in pushing on his FH. He would probably completely...

Indeed, everyone is allowed to have an opinion and certainly not everyone has to agree with it. In fact, all those countless discussions about LP/SP and Anti here on the forum should be allowed to be banned. There is no need at all to open this "rubber problem" with new topics every time...

Not clear whether you understood or read my text properly but I did not write that anywhere.

Sorry but I really cannot understand such people and especially not when they have their (table tennis) future ahead of them. Nothing justified the choice to start with technical equipment. Were it not there, everyone would do their best to take a technical sport like table tennis to its highest...

Platonov and Keinath doesn't sound familiar to my ears. Oh Dima, imagine him playing with technical stuff because he cannot push on his FH and keeps using his BH to do so. Just him is living proof that with perseverance and shortcomings, you belong to one of the best in the world. He doesn't...

That is definitely true. Practising a lot against LP or anti-players helps. The question remains, why do they indulge in these rubbers and how come such players suddenly skyrocket out of nowhere until...they hit their own limits and their opponents can read the game? Then what have you achieved...

Oh didn't know they moved it this year. In Belgium, the Netherlands and Greece it was already on the weekend of 23/24 March. (same time Beirut WTT Feeder)
