  1. Is there a subjectively perfect weight to every blade?

    I have tried setups as light as 170g as heavy as 216g. Nowadays, with my arthritis issues , I consistently go for blades weighing 83‐86g and aim to have the whole setup under 190g though that depends on rubber weight and blade head size. I find for me that being comfortable i don't have to...

  4. Sabine Winter switches to antispin

    Great video and very insightful as well as entertaining. Thanks for sharing.
  5. Forums and freedom, and being capable of self criticism

    @NetProphet: I have broadly championed is respectful language towards all TT personalities and Tony qualifies, even as much as I disagree with his decision - he was not guilty of anything heinous, and some (in fact many have) would argue that his pride was defensible. Let's please keep it...
  6. Offtopic - Car you'd buy for your family and team

    I still find my 1996 Toyota Camry to be the favorite car I ever owned in terms of how I felt driving it, even more than the later "luxury" ones or newer models.
  7. We Challenged the UNDER 15 WORLD CHAMPION!

    Team Spinsight, As you may or may not know, I have already ordered your product earlier this month and will do what I can to test and execute on it. Since I am not as fearful of being derided as some for my bad technique, I might actually post my completely unsolicited video early next year...
  8. Forums and freedom, and being capable of self criticism

    Having a genuine, well informed connection to the pro game is valuable to people, but for me, I have mostly hung around in TT circles for the community. Whether it is the players, the friends, the tournaments, the community for me is by far the most important thing. I suspect most of the...

    Which Dang Qiu comments are you referring to, you mean the Kanak interview?

    I miss Tony (definitely *all* of his apolitical posting). I would like him back. Since he might be discussing with people other than myself, I think unhappy members should be patient. But for me, if we spoke, I know what I would say and I understand why if he doesn't want to speak. But as...
  11. Butterfly Zyre 03

    I read his statement differently from you, his point is that Zyre is getting pros good results, so it is a good rubber just from that perspective. If the Andro rubber using the same tech also got its users good results, then it would be popular as well. And NUZN is getting pros good results...
  12. Butterfly Zyre 03

    Many players I am acquainted with including professionals have boosted it with no complaints and even some enthusiasm. I just don't boost, too much hassle for me since I like my rubber performance consistent more than high, but got nothing against anyone who does, if I was a serious player, I...
  13. WTT Finals Hong Kong 2025, 12/10-14

    I know what draw I would prefer to watch, thanks for doing the work. This one rewards players with seeding matchups based on in years performance. Obviously everyone ks dangerous so there are still no easy matches. But it doesn't feel like you are randomly facing incredible hulk in round 1...
  14. WTT Finals Hong Kong 2025, 12/10-14

    Best of seven is smart given the event. Seeding only 4 players is not, given the event.
  15. Butterfly Zyre 03

    The simplest way to avoid going back and forth with someone is to let them have the final word. I am not against having multiple perspectives on a rubber and no one is erasing anyone posts by making points that show another side to the whole point of using this rubber. In fact, Inhave been on...
  16. WTT Finals Hong Kong 2025, 12/10-14

    In the old finals system, maybe my memory was off, but there was a rigorously 1-16 pairing system. 1 played 16 etc. In this new system they followed the WTT approach of only seeding the top 4. I ghink this is extremely myopic and ruins the draw. Of course my personal opinion.as some.love...
  17. We Challenged the UNDER 15 WORLD CHAMPION!

    Its becoming more and more obvious that Spinsight is investing a lot of money into non-traditional advertising and getting influencers ro push their product. I just wish this was done with more transparency and disclaimers but I guess it is what it is Hopefully the strength and benefits of...
  18. Butterfly Zyre 03

    The price is tied to durability and so far it has held up. I don't know wherher it grips the ball as well.as Dignics in some abstract sense but it is easily for me the gtippiest non-tacky rubber I have played with especially with that sponge hardness (which none of the non-tacky Dignics rubbers...

    You are just repeating his point. If you really cared about what Rasanter did, you would be using it
  20. Butterfly Zyre 03

    So I have gone 360 and I have now returned Zyre to my Viscaria SALC. I will play with it for at least 2 months there and see what I can learn. The most important thing i have learned about this rubber is that the feeling is not the same as other Butterfly rubbers because the rubber wants to...
