This is true but to some degree misses the point. The point is that very often, using another blade just feels better, but after a while, the feel becomes the same if you get the blade as your own. This is very different from a blade making you enjoy playing more, or a blade helping you hit...

Just picked up my sheets. Now have to glue them and practice with them. But I won't get to play until a tournament tomorrow. Will I be crazy enough to play with the setup without practicing? Stay tuned lol....

I follow this tournament fairly closely. Quadri has already withdrawn. So Egypt is clearly in the driver's seat. Nigeria has some young talent but how well they will fare in this event is yet to be seen.

Nah, most of them prefer pickleball to table tennis.

Vicious lefty look serves are everyone's weakness lol.

To piggyback on this, i believe Adam Bobrow's video editing operation is based out of Chinese Taipei (can't remember why I think this, probably something or someone he introduced in a video, but something made me do it). So obviously the players can be helped with the right support.

Nah, the synergy with tennis is significant. There are backers. This sport is growing. Not going away as it has distinct advantages. There are even articles about other similar if not quite the same racket sports doing well all over the world like Padell.

You are their agent no? Its another opportunity for you....

She used to play her forehand way too vertically. It is better now but it is also much more obvious watching her in person that she sometimes adds too much spin rather than going through the table with the ball.

But that is a part of the reason why TT in the USA struggles. Players are largely unwilling to pay market value to support it. Pickleball players so far don't have that problem though they do have the advantage of being able to borrow public courts but that doesnt explain the religious use and...

Okay. With pickleball, the marketing just made people start watching the sport and pros started playing tournaments. It had clothing to do with more players playing the sport and reporting positive experiences. Its really interesting how things work when people look at the current year to...

Sad that Liam is injured. Interesting that Connor is in the lineup. Is he better than McBeath and Baggaley or is this with an eye towards the future?

Its very much so. In fact, WTT has largely tried to follow the path you have prescribed to making TT more popular. Given that even pickleball developed a large player base and then tried to turn that into something resembling a commercial tour, it is important to look at some of the reasons...

I said this was coming - it is only a matter of time before WTT follows suit...

If marketing can turn tequila into something that people pay a lot of money for, it can turn sports into something people often watch on minimal interest. I think you are making an argument that while true confuses watching the sport as a fan with enjoying the sport. I am focused on people who...

That's why I hate making these discussions about winning arguments. Is watching a ball spinning very fast the essence of golf, one of the slowest games in the world? Can you type that with a straight face? My main point is that there is enough time to follow the sport and enjoy the skill of...

You seem to be confusing the story with the experience. Once you explain football, especially for a TV cast, it is pretty easy to follow the ball. It is hard to explain to people who haven't experienced what spin does why the rally is happening the way it is at the speed it is - you sometimes...

Same here, I feel the more action the better.

Anything in life done at a high level is complicated at that level, the key is whether someone can be given an intuitive understanding that allows them to follow and track the action in minutes. When one hears that one team has four chances to gain at least 10 yards and if they don't, the other...

Don't forget Rassenfosse lol...
