Well I must've jinxed him because now it's Pitchford who can't seem to score a point. Quite the reversal of fortune in this match 11-1 for Pitchford then 11-0 for Calderano two games later. Don't think I've seen that before.

Pitchford just put up an 11-1 against Calderano in Game 2. Pretty amazing level of play we're seeing out of Pitchford this event.

Think Miwa did a good job battling back from 2-0 to almost complete a reverse sweep. Saved a couple match points in Game 4 to take it to Game 5. From there it looked like she rushed her shots a bit. Promising for her if she can slowly learn to control the youthful exuberance. Anyone else find...

@Hyooong you might want to consider a Yinhe U2. It's the best selling Yinhe blade (one of the best selling blades in China period) and fills the role that W6 used to occupy but for the new ball era. It's a bit more stable at 6.0mm but probably has a similar contact feel with the thin harder...

I only see one seller selling it (GH Sports Store) and they only have 24 pieces available so I think it's still likely discontinued. Nothing wrong with that, but you might have a hard time finding your desired weight, since a lot of times the ones remaining will be the too heavy or too light...

W6 I think is pretty much the same composition as a Yasaka Sweden Extra. When I was looking last year, it wasn't being sold anywhere. Most likely discontinued. So if you do find one, it'll be probably the same price as the YSE. Some people like the YSE but I found it slow and dead feeling. I...

Are the Nittaku Premium Clean balls dust free? They apparently are coated with some sort of anti-bacteria and anti-viral material, so it wouldn't make sense to apply that to a dusty ball.

It's probably because additional VAT to Europe. Costs $35 for me. If you can wait a month, there should be some Aliexpress sales on 11/11.

Here's a review of someone using the 2.0

I'll put in a vote for Nittaku Factive in max thickness. IF you like everything about the rubber but want a bit extra speed and spin, then going from 1.8 to 2.0mm should achieve exactly that. Plus it's got a cool purple sponge.

Close calls for Hayata and Harimoto both winning by the minimum in the 5th game. Hayata timing looked a bit off. Maybe these back to back to back tournaments taking their toll. Harimoto had to take an injury timeout and was really speeding through the 5th game. Showed off a limp after the game...

Ma Jinbao in the quarterfinals now. When was the last time an American player got that far in a WTT event?

It really was looking that way in the first game. From the 2nd game on, Kao was having a hard time on serve receive putting the return high enough where Ma was spraying the 3rd ball wherever he wanted and putting heavy pressure on. That was enough to stay close in games, but Ma had to pull out...

I've seen Ma Jinbao playing in the USA tournaments and he looked pretty good, but I don't recall him looking as good as he did just now against Kao. Like Majin Buu, I guess he has many forms. This is also the first time I think I've seen a USA men's player in the R16 of a contender level...

Hopefully he threw it at that big mural picture of himself. Honestly, they did A. Lebrun dirty putting his giant face there. I would be too distracted to play if I had to stare at my own 10 foot giant sized head every other set.

Can't believe it took so long for someone to realize that the scoring was reversed. This isn't like an All-asian matchup or something which might be easier to confuse. It's the two Latin Americans versus the USA guy/HK girl combo. Bizarre to get the two pairs mixed up in the first place.

Thanks. I'll just ask for the refund and see how they want to deal with it.

I ordered a blade from Aliexpress, requested a specific weight and they sent me one that's 10g more than I asked for (and 11 or 12 grams more than what they say the blade should weigh). What did you do to negotiate the lower price? Should I ask for a refund using Aliexpress system or chat with...

This stream is great quality @tackyfh ! HD, smooth, and the commentator is 100x less annoying.

I'm not seeing the CCTV channels in the playlist when I do this. Will it be shown on HTV The Thao for the Viet channels? Or do you know which ASIAD Special Live stream it'll be on?
