  1. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    So are you hinting that Matt is not being fully forthcoming based on the fact that Joola has had issues as a corporation? Trying to understand your angle here. I am also not sure what you expect to be the result of this. Do you think it is a good look to accuse someone who is sharing his...

    The issue is not whether the elbow moves (for example, the Louis Levene video says that keep it still, it is going to move, but you want to avoid a bad plane of motion and make it primarily a pivot point), but whether its movement is driven primarily by active upper arm engagement vs being...

    First of all, people can watch the videos that the stills were taken from and decide how much was driven by the core and how much eas driven by the upper arm. The stills do not convey the change in body orientation to the untrained eye and while the upper arm is used, it is far from the essence...

    Wow. Lots of notorious stuff. So what do you want them to come clean about? To admit what exactly?

    Lin Yun Ju - is the elbow moving a ton? So here is Calderano doing an advanced version that combines elbow movement with the right spin motion. Is he moving his elbow a ton? This is likely the biggest backhand in the world. Fan Zhendong... is his elbow moving a ton? I like this...

    I dont think the elbow moves a ton and the screen shors are misleadinf because the back has alsonstraightened quite a bit and the hips moved forward and that is key to a modern advanced backhand play.. If I really believed it moved a ton, I would have said so. In fact, you had to shift camera...

  12. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    Maybe as symptomatic of issues as their inability to provide custom blades for their players.... More seriously, I have size 15 shoes so I can't buy TT shoes from any brand so I tend to fall asleep when people discuss TT shoes. So maybe it is a big issue with pros but I would not be the one to...

    The struggles are not well known then, they are just things you know of which I am fairly confident are legitimate but should be characterized as things you know of, not as "well known". Otherwise, you would have no need to keep them private.
  14. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    Can you cite a source for the well known struggles? That said, if Matt confirms these struggles, I will learn something.
  15. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    Ah okay, you have an article to refer to that summarizes your position? Something I can use to understand the foundation? Or just too many Tieba posts that give an impression? And who has to come clean about what?
  16. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    I'm speaking about the specific case of who handled the handle issue, pun intended. You are free to discuss something else. That said, now I think about it, your point, without the tangent about support, is reasonable, maybe the infliuencer addressed with a rogue Joola while Matt addressed...

    Is it possible that multiple people complain about a product defect and it takes someone who is employed by the corporation to drive the internal change? Asking for a friend...

    If you asked Darko or even FZD about it, I suspect they would tell you they keep it fixed even if the video showed something different. That said, your motives are in the right place, you will see that no matter how you describe something, without a feedback process, it is too easy to get the...

  20. Calderano Signs with Joola (#139)

    Matt, I have to ask, are US people really sure you know what your OEMs in Asia are up to and the ins and outs of how the blade process works? It seems based on zeio's posts that there are all these custom pro blades all over the place being used by players posting pics on Asian forums and you...
