Don't jinx it lol...

The problem is that you are trying to divorce cultural presence from how many people are playing it seriously as an entry point into the sports fandom (whatever that means). Cultural presence is highly tied to how many people play and understand the sport, especially as children. I don't know...

Someone or some people have had negative experiences with just about every poster who is as active as zeio is on a forum. But by all means, the ignore list is everyone to make their lives more peaceful. I am not saying you don;t have a right to ignore him or anyone else, I am just saying that...

The examples you give aren't great examples still, but the point is not to argue this to death because you have a point, it is just significantly overstated IMHO. A huge part of that NFL culture you are talking about begins with getting kids involved in the sport. Many successful businessmen...

IT doesn't quite work that way as Lazer pointed out. The smaller balls raise the spin element. It might be worth an experiment but the sport is extremely experiment averse.

Because they are not as invested in the forum as appearances might lead you to believe? People have asked for more moderators for a long time but there have been no new moderators added to the staff.

They very much are - in fact, being a fan of many sports requires you to understand the rules of the sport and usually, understanding the rules of the sport usually requires you to have played it on some level growing up. It's part of the reason why many Americans struggle to understand/watch...

He is clearly trolling really hard. At a certain point, responding to him only feeds him.

I think hardbat TT is fairly popular, it is just hard to commercialize given how TT has evolved.

I would be against this, it would likely make the sport even faster than it is already.

This is the period of the calendar for continental champs

Not referring to you though you know what i am taking about, i was referring to Tony. though he has edited his response to make it clear he is trollling me. Lee SangSu is also older than average. Regardless I don't think anyone blamed tiredness on that one, I remember clearly that it was more...

Ma Long used an innerforce type blade...

Many of the changes are reflected here already: https://www.ittf.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/2025_ATTC_Entries.pdf

Chess has no physical movement though - that is what kills it. That said, most of the top chess players are in great physical shape. The brain was first and foremost designed to move its host.

The lower athleticism demands are definitely where Pickleball beats badminton, I find overhead swings are harder on many people as we age as well as moving large distances. Running around isn't great for old knees either.

New or old?

The one thing I had to dull was the wings - they hurt my hands for sure lol... good luck with it.

If you feel it is an adhesion problem of glue to blade, whether sealing is involved or not, lightly sanding helps. it isn't anything significant, it just makes the top ply a bit coarser. That said, I use Joola Lex glue and I had no problem gluing onto the Hugo. It's unfortunate that yours is...

I don't think it is so much forehand oriented (is Hugo forehand oriented? if the answer is yes, then I stand corrected...) so much as to just stop freaking holding the table to the point that people can hit your middle in 10 nanoseconds because you don't give yourself a chance to defend it...
