That makes sense. I thought that short pips basically take out all spin and you only can smash flat with them. Also makes sense a lp chopper has more time to twiddle than a player like ito who plays super fast right on the table. I still wonder if for example mima ito wouldn't be a little...

I have always wondered about that. I never have played pips but basically you can't hit any topspin with it and basically just flat smash the ball, right? So why aren't players like mima ito or Mathias falck twiddling to their inverted side to for example loop a deep underspin push? If they...

Yeah africa is probably a market with a lot of growth potential.

I think aruna is a great sponsorship deal for gewo, they probably can't afford the top dogs like the Chinese or timo and dima but aruna is a popular player and that ugly green rubber has great recognition value.

Maybe also some pros feel that the sealing alters the feel but they like the feel more than the original feel while others prefer the original feel.

Also consider top pros get the blade for free from their sponsors so I guess they are not playing them more than a month or so so adding weight due to water glue or splintering isn't as bad of an issue.

For those of you who follow tennis have you ever thought of that? Fan Zhendong= djokovic Aggressive and very strong of both wings with no weaknesses and extreme consistency and few errors, complete player equally strong of both wings Xu xin=nadal Extreme footspeed and super spinny forehand...

Timo has a pretty cool video on how to play a chopper https://youtu.be/Cj5kgOLUV7EI like the tip to alternate slow and short topspin with hard topspin and also between body and out wide. Also maybe play some drop shots like ma lin

Some countries have qualifying standards that are higher than the IOC standards to reduce costs and only send athletes who have the chance to reach a certain result. For example in Germany in track and field it was often defined as a realistic chance to reach top8 in the competition

I made the mistake of starting with carbon and went back to 5 ply wood and it is working much better. I'm not ruling out that there are some highly gifted and very motivated beginners who can make starting with carbon work but I think for the large majority starting out with an all or all+ wood...

The story sounds bad, especially since in indigenous girl is involved so of course racism seems to be a possibility. But tough to judge from here.

Club level is also a wide range. In Germany for example there are high level leagues with very good players and there are basically "beer leagues" where mostly older players without a lot of motivation meet, play some training matches and then drink a couple beers together without ever doing...

Also don't discount BH serves. I think they have a bit less deception than FH serves but you can generate great spin and at the amateur level that still can work pretty well.

I read somewhere that an east german penhold player played RPB in like the 60s and 70s but he never was a world class player and not sure if he played international at all.

Joo se hyuk and ruwen filius are using Tenergy. I would guess chinese choppers probably use tacky rubbers.

The Bundesliga is a professional league. Dima and lin left their Russian club due to the war in ukraine and an expected ban from the champions league (and also dima's grandparents were from Ukraine and his grandma actually died a couple days ago while trying to escape from ukraine so he...
