The contract they offer each player is different according to the level of the player, you can't assume that everyone is dealing with exactly the same contract.

A lot comes down to details, but the commissioner of MLTT is wealthy and connected, I am not sure how far he would go, but that is devil in the details. No one who is playing in MLTT other than the lower ranked players like the Nareshes is playing for the playing level, they are playing because...

Olah's basic serve is extremely dubious, he really should do better.

Ma Long would fill every arena without reaching the masses.

You underestimate America, if they want it to happen, they will find the money to make it happen. It's not really about how often they play, but whether you can meet the asking fee. I know players who have priced themselves out of MLTT, but for Ma Long, I suspect there will be more room to...

Yeah. That's crazy. He beats everyone but you and you lose to everyone but him. And neither your losses nor his wins were really close.

Maybe he is using the SAL?

This is my match against the 4th seed. The only one I can share since he is also an adult (I don't like posting matches against kids publicly in general unless they are high rated kids with public profiles).

I suspect some way will be found to make this happen but I also suspect ultimate TT has first dibs...

I though Dima was already in Muscat, but i guess he waited to play one match before flying out lol.

They are also playing national games.

D80 is softer and has a lower arc. So it is faster all things being equal but many advanced players will take the extra spin of D05 over that. Stepping back is reasonable for inverted depending on the quality of the shot you have played and the opponent and the quality of the short you intend...

Wow, it bothers you too? Okay then. Qian Tianyi, the likely practice partner who mimics and clones Hina Hayata on the CNT, and from now one referred to by me as "Hayata clone" is a person.

Nah, you are the one subjectively attaching insult to the term. Can't help you there so good luck!

I have been wondering where you have been. Great to see back for Defense of the Clones!

I was looking for more speed - probably didn't need it but I was looking for it - that I changed the rubber from D80 to D05 shows I took the edge off a little - I can definitely play with D80 on it, but I don't like the style I was forced to play and I played the Teams tournament with D05 and I...

I have set up a USATT league for my "home club", which is 45 minutes from where I live. We finally played our first rated league on Friday night. Weather depressed attendance but 5 players made it. I was second seeded in the group of 5 but probably more realistically the third best player...

That was a stark contrast between the regular matches and the Golden Game. Texas thought thorugh the matchups more seriously than Princeton did and Naresh came through bigtime...

You probably don't make contact in the right part of the blade all the time. When using all wood, you must be precise with your contact on every shot, with carbon, you have more margin for variety. The truth is that no one knows exactly what anyone else is using, wood and production quality...

So amongst players who take the ball off the bounce and stay close to the table, who has a better forehand? Whose forehand would you take over Felix for his playing style? What "weaknesses" does Felix have with his forehand that are not a function of age or holding the table?
