  1. Hybrid rubbers vs tensors: difference in looping techniques?

    I tend to play with 09c more like H3 than I do with Tenergy 05, the tack makes the rubber more forgiving to racket angles than 05. This is true for me vs Tenergy 05 Hard as well.
  2. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    Can you give an example of a match he suggested was fixed?
  3. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    So you believe the team when it says it has explicitly stopped this practice (barring the Olympics), and determine that anyone who still believes in the existence of such practices is ideologically driven to hate the team?
  4. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    So you are saying that China never had a policy that players would not be allowed to play in subsequent events after playing badly in a prior event? And that Tony is making this up completely?
  5. R16 BRA 1-2 NOR Full-Time, FIFA World Cup 2026

    That will be tough, Japan seems allergic to those ladies no matter how well they play.
  6. R16 BRA 1-2 NOR Full-Time, FIFA World Cup 2026

    ESN to ESN... nothing to see here....
  7. Greatest Rallies of All Time

    I'll bring in some old school rallies eventually, but still sticking with the modern players for a bit - here is a great Jun Mizutani compilation, but I link within it to my favorite Mizutani point of all time:
  8. Greatest Rallies of All Time

  9. United States Smash 2025, Las Vegas, 7/3-13

    Beware of spreading rumors, @Shine will disapprove, even though policies like these were once commonly expressed by the CNT.
  10. Thoughts on Rhyzer Pro 50 and Golden Tango

    Thanks. Is that arbitrary or something inherent in the rubber production process?
  11. Thoughts on Rhyzer Pro 50 and Golden Tango

    They should just bring back the rubber.
  12. Matsushita Pro special

  13. Liang Jingkun used the high-toss serve in WTTC 2025

    My theory is that the original target was Hugo Calderano. Though I dont think it was effective in that match.

    Any chance of Boll for MLTT? He fits the washed up prescription that many here tout...
  15. R16 BRA 1-2 NOR Full-Time, FIFA World Cup 2026

    Since Doubles is now an Olympic event and Teams is no longer one, it makes common sense. Probably accelerated by Odo-Yoko not winning the WTTC.
  16. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    I am only able to play once a week because my old club which prioritized badminton and pickleball wasn't making enough money from TT so it reallocated the TT space to badminton and pickleball and only does table tennis on weekend nights (with no promise as to how long that might last).

  17. Fan Zhendong is joining 1. FC Saarbrücken next season

    The youtube channel LMTLS which is run by an amateur who trains in Saarbrucken and often records/works with the pros/coaches there also mentioned it. It was where I first heard of it before coming over and seeing it here.
  18. Fan Zhendong is joining 1. FC Saarbrücken next season

    If you think Zhang Jike in his current age and form would destroy everyone, you have a lot to learn about TT.
  19. R16 BRA 1-2 NOR Full-Time, FIFA World Cup 2026

    It's doubtful for sure, but it is a long time till 2028 and talent isn't the problem. The good thing about being low sometimes is that it can help you have no pride in facing hard facts. She is also a phenomenal doubles player. Let's see how it plays out.
