Michael Jordan is also debatable stats wise, it is his influence on popularity that isn't. I think Tom Brady is as close as it gets in the modern NFL stats wise. Still stats always need narratives. Ma Long still carries the Wang Hao and plastic ball monkey. But it is just hard to debate his...

Have always considered him to have one of the best forehands in the world even for a pro.

All you really need is a box of 3* balls from each of the brands that are used in the tournaments you play. And then the week of the tournament, use them. Thia was a problem in the celluloid ball days as well, just not as massive as the plastic ball early days. And of course now, so many...

The guy who won the A Event mentioned it as part of the reason he went down 0-2 before coming back. So no, it isn't in anyone's head, we all need to read the entry form and see what the tournament balls are and use them to practice when we intend to play.

I went to a club in Austin about 2.5 hrs from where I live to play a tournament. I got to town on Friday night but turns out the club closes early on Friday the night before an event so I couldn't play any matches or get good practice. Went in this morning but was too late to get good...

I actually find T05 best on outer carbon blades for rallying. Because the spin activates early, you know you will always get a quality shot, while a rubber that gives you more touch with slower bounce and less spin on softer shots might not get you quality if you don't get into position to play...

Don't worry it is all in my head. Good to see them back on tour again.

I have seen guys beat me up with FX rubbers - no hatorade here, I love the idea.

I definitely understand how you come to this perspective and I like it. I think the early activation of Tenergy can work for both amateurs and pros. I find it interesting how equipment analysis works sometimes. We treat features of rubbers as absolute strengths and weaknesses sometimes based...

Common misconception: "Faster rubber is for amateurs."

Are my eyes deceiving me, or have Hashimoto and Sato, especially Hashimoto, grown much older and leaner? Or is it just new hairstyles affecting their looks?

And pros. I know 2400-2600 players who still use Viscaria with T05 or just regular T05.

Both Yuta and Frane are surprise finalists. Frane has a shown a high level when younger. Just not extremely consistent.

So I played with 4 different set ups today. Setup 1: MJ SZLC with Skyline 2 commercial both sides. Setup 2: CC with H3 40 Degrees provincial both sides. Setup 3: BSS1 with Tronix ZGR both sides. Setup 4: Mazunov with H3 hard commercial both sides. Played one of my usual training partners over...

Oh, I did try Skyline2 on the MJ SZLC - the problem is that I didn't have a chance to play singles with it. I have a tournament this weekend, but I will be playing with my standard setups, will be interesting to see how that goes...

I was happy until I listened to dingyibvs, latej and you. I will cut off my ears and go back to being happy again :ROFLMAO:. More seriously, Golden Tango did scratch my itch and I suspect I might try some of those Gewo rubbers that are along the same lines. But right now, I will just stick...

I am thinking after remembering recent post yesterday - to boost Hurricane or not?? Because I might be costing myself some speed and spin on my shots. IT's all good. Focus on movement and technique first!

Come on, without flame wars, moderators wouldn't have jobs! But seriously, I understand what Tony means as a very active and sometimes contentious poster. One reason I would cut Tony huge slack is that he is not doing it anonymously and that raises his difficulty bar significantly. Being...

Thanks, Carl. One of the things that is underappreciated about moderation is how thankless it is. When I originally saw Tony's post, I just assumed that you were too busy to even deal with it and it wasn't you. And as a moderator at mytt, my own approach and feeling has always been that...

Okay - thanks - not downloading the app unfortunately.
