We could even go further than that. There is an allegation that's at least within the realm of possibilty (and therefore should be considered) that Fukuhara broke the law and abducted the child with the expectation that public opinion and her status as a beloved figure would insulate her from...

I've said enough on this topic with regards to what I think about Fukuhara's behavior here when it comes to custody law. When deciding on the custody and welfare of a child, the Court does consider a parent's pattern of behavior. Instances of selfishness, impulsiveness, and inability to follow...

Unfortunately that's not the case because I can clean off the goo from the plastic sheet. The plastic sheet definitely took some of the tacky layer with it. Anyway, lesson learned. Be careful guys when you pull the plastic sheet off a new tacky rubber! You might take some of the tacky layer...

Yeah it reminds me of the time someone here posted their messed up sheet of Jupiter 3 that looked like the cloud patterns of the planet Jupiter. I'm just going to roll some new balls on this sheet to try to get the tackiness to even out a bit and see how it goes. I'm able to pick up balls for...

Here's what my sheet of Bloom Power looks like after peeling off the plastic sheet. Hopefully it's just cosmetic and plays OK. I doubt it considering how uneven the tackiness is. 😔

Glued a new sheet of Bloom Power (45d and has LARC number). Everything went great with gluing and cutting, but when I went to pull the thin plastic sheet off, something bizarre happened that hasn't happened to me before. Chunks of the tacky surface stuck to plastic sheet. Like there's a...

I put Jupiter 3 38d on a Fextra 7 and had the exact same issue as you. I used the factory glue along with a couple layers of my own glue. Arc was too flat and the ball just bounced off the rubber without any grippy feeling. I took it off my racket right when I got home after using it for a...

I'd go for the Wave Drive 9 at those prices. I don't find the Kaiserburg any bit wider tbh. I usually have some discomfort in toebox with regular width shoes but have no issue with either shoe.

Japan is a historically misogynistic society. I'll agree with that. But I would argue that their xenophobia far exceeds their misogyny. Anyone who has spent any time in Japan would know that while Japanese women occupy a status lower than Japanese men, Japanese women are still far much preferred...

Maybe there's a way to adjust the algorithm such that it recognizes certain characters and translates using manually provided translations. So you can just make a list of say 100 or so of the most common technical TT terms (e.g. topspin, loop, back spin, drive, smash, recovery, salute, etc.)...

From a legal perspective it's pretty clear cut. There have been at least 5 people involved (the parents, the lawyers, and a judge) in a legal process likely taking many years and tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars in order to determine what's best for the kid. Like I said, the...

Having worked on these sorts of agreements, you are correct that it gets very detailed like that. It's a very stressful and emotional business for everyone involved, and I'm glad I only had to handle a few of these family law cases. These can take years to fully resolve, and a lot of mud is...

More than 90% of child abductions are committed by the parent without custody. They are treated as kidnappings. There is a long legal process for determining custody, and there is a heavy bias for giving primary custody to the mother.

I don't go around abducting children illegally. I don't think looking down on people who do so is unfair or gives me a 'holier than thou' air. The law says Fukuhara must return the the child to the father and she has chosen to disappear instead. We as a society have given a judge the authority...

That version of the news looks black and white to me. Fukuhara has been ordered by a court to return the son. She is willfully in contempt of such order (a criminal offense in most countries). If she doesn't, a criminal case may be started for child abduction. What is your interpretation of...

It's funny you say this because there is a prominent member of this community that firmly believes that current pips are not quite disruptive enough (though he's been oddly absent after this big result). 60 year old women beating 20 year old pro players in their athletic primes is nice and...

I disagree with you for several reasons. First is that child abduction, although the vast majority stem from private family disputes, are everyone's business. Here in the US, they are so much so everyone's business that everyone receives an alert on their phone when it happens from the...

I've tried on Wave Medal 6 and they were my least favorite compared to Drive 9 and Kaiserburg 7. Felt a bit too clunky and the color scheme I found too ugly. I'd try on the Drive 9s. They didn't feel any bit narrower than Medal 6.

Sure sounds like it. There needs to be a very strong reason for a parent to take a child to another country and not allowing the other parent to contact them. It's one thing to leave your husband for another man but cutting him off from his own child is beyond the pale. The only justifiable...

Yeah just stay with the same rubbers so you can take note of the change of characteristics from your old blade. Between those three blades, they are probably all around the same speed (hardness of each varies between 1300-1400 hz). They are all similar enough where which one you like will come...
