Because I'm not blind and I can count.

That is my point exactly. So it is a pretty useless term to apply to rubber. FWIW, I prefer thicker.

I've watched more of his matches now. So my opinion for what little it's worth. Best BH whack in history. No doubt. He hits amazing winners with it. But very far from the best BH overall. I noticed a lot of limitations. 1. He doesn't loop all that much with it and when he does it is not...

To which I add that for some people going through that cycle and satisfying curiosity is half the fun of the sport. Or more. Since most of us play for fun and are not paid to win, and if that describes you, then you should try it out. I bought a few blades that way myself. Just have realistic...

Here's what is quite likely to happen. At first it will feel really different. Some things will feel better, others worse. Over time you adjust after a few struggles. And then your level will be........ Exactly what it was before. And then on to the next. It's not you. It's everybody...

A clear violation of Rule 88. And other Rules.

I've never seen anything like it, that's for sure. I need to see him a bit more though.

Except that equipment that makes it easy to do one thing can make it harder to do other things. So.... control of what?

I am Nomad. I am perfect. That which is not perfect must be destroyed. Beep. Zzork.

The existence of a Dima Btfly blade doesn't mean he will use it. See ZJK, who used a Viscaria even though there are a bunch of Btfly ZJK blades (including ALC versions which are pretty similar to a Viscaria!!). On the other hand since he is coming from Donic, one might think they would build...

I'm not an epidemiologist either, but what occurs to me is that an event like the Olympics could facilitate the spread of this virus to a lot more places. That is probably going to probably happen anyway in spite of best efforts to contain it, but this could make it worse as thousands of people...

Virology is not my specialty but I work at a medical school so have pretty instant access to latest reports. Apparently as weather warmed up, the SARS virus became less viable once it was out of a human body and on a surface. This reduced its transmission rate quite a lot. If this one is like...

A case report just came out suggesting that an antiviral drug made in the US seemed to work in a few patients. So they are now initiating a regular clinical trial in China which should give a more definitive answer. So maybe a reason to have a bit more hope going forward. But still, I am...

Whichever ones you can move really well in without sustaining injury. And that will be different for different people. So no single answer will do.

In answer to Carl, I don't know if this will still be a crisis when the Olympics comes later this year. But I wouldn't bet very much money on it all being under control by then. I'm not a virologist, but a lot depends on stuff that doesn't yet seem to be known very well, like how infectious...

As someone who works in biomedical life sciences, I think there is not enough time for anything in time for Olympics.

A brief English lesson for my fellow forum members. You TEACH your students. Hopefully they LEARN what you are teaching. It's a common mistake for people learning English (and you also used to hear it in some very remote rural dialects in southern parts of US). I wish I could help the OP...

In the US? Why? You are far more likely to get the flu and you can die of it if you do. As of today 16,000 or so have been infected in China and around 350 have died. As of today 9 cases in the US. It will get worse before it gets better, but still no need to panic. Of course if things get a...

In China they make fakes of practically everything in the planet. Bikes, handbags, TT blades. You name it. The fakes can be really good or not so good. The key clue is the price. If the price is unrealistically low, it is fake. Is it a good fake? Meaning pretty much like a real one...
