Isn't it a bit insane to state the obvious as if it is deep insight?

That would be news to me, I haven't heard anyone who doesn't mention his serve as a massive strength of his game.

Han I believe is a short pips chopper.

Hopefully, you will come to Germany next year so I can see the player who is sharing all this wisdom. The primary reason the game looks the way it does today is because of rubber technology. Not blade technology. This is easy to prove/demonstrate. If you took away all the composite blades...

Because the rubber contribution was too large for him to mess with. Tinkering slightly with the blade was much easier.

These are variability experiments: if Wang changed his rubber from Hurricane to Dignics or changed his blade from Viscaria to W968, which would have had more impact on his game? That is the proper framing of the question. Of course anyone can play better or worse by changing equipment, but the...

@IB66, A lot of people post stuff that hints at a low playing level without really having to explicitly admit it. Anyone who with a straight face thinks that the game we play today is determined more by blade technology than by rubber technology is a really not a serious player. Obviously...

While the rubbers are not that far apart, I would struggle to think of any commerciap blade that would reduce the performance of D09c significantly. Obviously, there is a blend of rubber and balde characteristics, but rubber is clearly the reason why we play how we play, it is easier to play...

That would be insane. But Tibhar tables, Tibhar players winning.... it is all in the air...

I don't know whether it is about the country or whether there is an ETTU vendor that specializes in this. But the European countries have a way of doing this really well.

Insane reminder that anything is possible in TT. The result is one thing but the scoreline is completely bonkers as Reilly might say.

Dignics 80.

Japanese women's TT blossomed with the success of the golden generation preceded slightly by Ai Fukuhara, Sayaka Hirano and Kasumi Ishikawa and then the generation itself was Mima Ito, Miu Hirano then Mima Ito then Hina Hayata. Their popularity also made TT more popular in Japan and the Tokyo...

Nah, he just makes it clear he enjoys trolling. He thinks calling someone stupid is the same thing as the person saying they (the person) or what they did is stupid. He can't tell the difference.

I didn’t provide the link but I definitely agree with it. Stiffness is usually about thickness or use of composites to prevent bending but it is definitely relative. Balsa blades are exactly as you described, they are usually thick and soft and hence very stiff because they are thick.

More like keep the tournament running on time and avoid the stress of an abnormally long match on everyone (defenders are consistentl enough to play for hours with pushes). The last Harimoto Hashimoto match had it at the very end. It is usually more common when defenders are playing each...

Its an ancient rule that was developed to prevent choppers from taking hours to complete matches. If you have an alternative do share but it clearly has a legitimate purpose. Many things that are important can be irritating and some get less irritating when you get slightly more used to them...

Hinoki/Limba outer or any soft outer ply, not very fast like my current blade or a BalsaX Carbo.

You are a sad human being, and I do not say that lightly.

Kanak got a terrible draw....
