No doubt. But someone claiming speed is a reason to use all wood blades is news to me.

So if in 3 years, Sabine is a top 3 ranked non-Asian with say Kaufmann and Diaz/Takahashi, you don't think she will make the Olympics? Your deity has avoided answering this question unambiguously?

Thanks for proving my point.

Xioana Shan: She has a good chance if she continues playing like this, but it still depends on her results in 3 years. Zeio: She didn't win the Champions so the DTTB bigshots will continue to ignore her.

Both Ueda and Togami have played Duda in TTBL. So that matchup was a bit of an ambush for Duda....

Togami terminates the surpassing battles with a 3-0 win over Duda. Take that Uda!

Why is it so hard for umpires to call these serves that clearly pass behind the head....

Is it just me or is Togami using AI too.... EDIT: Duda just won a few points so it is just me lol...

You like to troll don't you? Simon Gauzy wins points. Many players who play trick shots don't win points. You can win points playing trick shots. You don't post one point and then say that means that is how you win matches. Even Simon if you watch a whole match, less than 10% of the shots...

Good for Franziska - you can be nice and not lose in the tough moments you know...

MY experience, I started playing TT in 2011 and broke 2000 for the first time in 2015 (I suspect it would be a bit harder for me today with the ball changes). I spent a significant amount of time in my head in the 1900 rating region going up and down even to 1800 and maybe 1700 sometimes (I...

This is terrible advice - even if one gets lucky in the short tern, the long term mental stability damage is incalculable. Rating points can always be earned back and it is easy to get adjustments from a lower rating. What is more important is to take a process mindset and continue to improve...

Kanak bosses Jorgic around... Maybe Kanak should play for Germany.. if Jorgic can win Euro top 16, why can't Kanak lol... harder to beat Hugo than Jorgic lol... just trolling, ignore me...

To I used to detest outer carbon for a long time - the first true outercarbon blade I played with as my primary blade was Joola Vzaryz Trinity and I used it with sticky rubbers. But after using the Garaydia ALC for a while as well, I just became used to it. Ultimately, I am convinced that in...

Exactly. You know what works best for you. Never having seen you play and not knowing your playing level, if you are an experienced player, I assume you made your choice based on a lot of play and experience. I am pointing out that if what you said was true as a physical phenomenon and not...

Agreed, but he said that all wood is faster on certain shots, I want him to tell me what these shots are and which pros are demonstrating them with all wood blades. People come up with all kinds of interesting claims but they don't think through the implications of what they are saying for...

Sure, find the pros who are using such blades to produce extra speed and let me know their names. Even Gauzy had to switch and is now getting the best results of his career. Not saying that I am a pro, just testing this logic.

IT's one point in a match. Your rating is not based on one point in a match. In fact, I once asked a 2250 player who hit a cool around the net shot on a 2550 player whether it was better to hit the coolest shot or to win the match. He said he wishes he had done both, but he had to settle for...

This is exactly correct, and the good thing is that it is possible to play better using this approach without working on all the issues in your game - in fact, your game can have major issues and this approach will still largely work at improving your performance. I wouldn't say strengths and...

While such shots are cool, no one gets an improved rating from hitting trick shots. You do it by getting better results in matches against players at the level you are trying to reach.
