You may not know him, but you can google his name. When someone posts under their full real name, please treat them with respect. He posts a lot of youtube content. He commentates for MLTT. I have known him in table tennis circles for over a decade so he has a big reputation with integrity to...

The question is what people think that developing your technique differently means when you have a coach. In a sense, if your coach is the one telling you to wait, then do what your coach says because he is taking responsibility for your development. Ask him some questions like what playing...

Did you collect data from the comparison process? Like did you measure the blade weights, frequencies etc. I have two Butterfly Innerforce T5000s, one is barely over 80g and the other is close to 100g and is varnished. It's not worth discussing them as the same blade but they are supposed to be.

The implication is why you think that his admitting that pros can get custom blades, if it were true, would drive their sales down. The bottom line is I am saying you should stop coming up with strong reasons to claim Matt is lying. He is the one who often gives pros what they use, he is...

Get an ALC - I would recommend the FZD or Viscaria but if you like the Boll, it is all good as well, they are mostly handle differences though the Boll for some reason feels glossier. You can keep or change the rubbers as you please, Rozena is a good rubber and will prepare you well for any...

Two cars can be driven at the same speed. Whether that means they drive the same is another story. For blades, wood is a living thing, so it would be hard to argue that two different blades play the same. But it does in part depend on your sensitivity to equipment.

Butterfly admits they do. What has that done to their sales? Driven them into the ground?

Same topsheet as Tenergy 05 so yes.

Dima has gone one D09c, one Z03. I think he should just have become best friends with Luka and practiced with him rather than changing. That said I do want to see the new Zyre masters (LYJ, Harimoto and Togami) play choppers and see how they adapt.

Hinoki (soft) and Zyre, a good combination. In fact, some.people might wonder how the heck did i pick my current blade for Zyre? Well in a brilliant piece of likely unintentional marketing, the equipment expert at Bowmar Sports (Butterfly NA) casually said he uses it on the forehand of the...

Not at all. I get you 100%. There is a school of Zyre users you belong to. It isnt so much about amateur technique but not needing infinite dwell time to hit good shots or play in the short game. You also came with an innerforce blade with soft outer plies so you already get a lot of dwell...

Get the racket to the baxk of your thigh on the backswing as quickly as possible. It will force you to rotate and likely solve some of your problems, that is what I think @latej is trying to tell you.

I prefer my Anders Lind style cuts, thank you...

Just about nobody i know goes back the same path if they are advanced, it is hard to end up with the racket close to your hip if you do. It is usually a visual illusion or a warmup stroke. The main issue why I think pulling back close to the body is best for amateurs is that it is hard to not...

I have a different experience with Zyre but it I think is a nuanced one that might be tied to my technical limits. For me with Zyre, blocking perfectly flat and still is easier than with Dignics 05 and so is punching for me. I find that with Dignics 05, the block is more of a tiny counter...

Zyre plays faster than the other rubbers you mentioned and it also plays better on flat shots (blocks better) as well. For some players it spins better - I can definitely play better loop kills with Zyre than with Dignics. The issue is not Zyre but what happens when you are used to playing a...

In reality, what happens is that most people when they review equipment are thinking about it in terms of what they have used prior and often a subjective relative performance evaluation using both. An amateur can use Zyre just fine if he isn't having to shake off lots of muscle memory from...

Is there a point you are trying to make citing Zhu Yuling's results from when we now know she had health issues and couldn't play WTTC 2019? And did you watch the Kuai Man -Nagasaki match and the harimoto vs Felix match which the first quote refers to which you now seem to be taking out of...

The women are comfortably ranked, got what thry needed and are not in crisis. They do have some fixes to work on given what Han and Zhu did. The men are in a ratings/rankings crisis for sure and need more information on what to work on. Lin Shidong has put in a lot of training by his own...

The statements while all likely true, have the limitation of turning one match result into a tight pecking order, when in reality, the match was so close I wouldn't have blinked if the result were reversed.
