I can only speak to tennis but in tennis, this is just false at the tour level. There are different surfaces and different bounces/nuances even within surfaces. And there are also different balls selected for the tournaments depending on the effect that the tournament is looking for based on...

Nah, not really, many of those things are driven by the amount of spin on the ball. Given how you frame the problem though, it becomes barely solvable, and that probably affects your mindset playing those players more than their actual skill level. I usually give myself at least one game to...

Table tennis is really ugly in general when it comes to spin variation causing unforced errors. At that level, the speed of the game close to the table leads to lots of errors as well. If they played you or me using either equipment, they would not miss because the game is slower. The...

It's all relative. Idesawa is struggling to make the national team in Japan, so obviously the pips didn't take her from 2600 to 2800 or 2800 to 3000. The issue is how often you play those opponents and your mental approach. The ratings don't change, the problem is that players who hate pips...

Though whether it is because of the score or because of the timeout, we will never know :unsure:...

When you have played a long point which you feel has broken your rhythm. You need some time to reflect and establish what works or even to recuperate. A variation of the clearer mind. For me the clearer mind and establishing what works is far more important than breaking momentum.

Thanks for a great laugh. Really appreciate it.

Buy Golden Tango at $35 to $40. And then learn you paid $15-$20 for the Butterfly logo. :ROFLMAO:

Alex TT was actually based in Canada. Ooakforum is based in Australia. The Fukuhara thread would not have blown up the way it did if no one had taken offense to it and argued we were discussing a private matter. Likely related to cultural differences. Though regardless of culture, I don't...

But if you make the wrong choice and have to buy another rubber - then that is another $50. And the 6 hours you spend browsing isn't really time you could have worked... The economics are a bit less forgiving than you make out... but I get your frustration because in the end, most people will...

I didn't call you brokenbrain, sorry if you take offense. I can remove the reference, I really didn't believe you were seriously disputing that people had a good basis for correlating frequency and blade speed, I thought you were just having fun with insulting people, though your main point...

It's technically Carrollton, but you can spell it how you want lol. I can't spell it in Korean to save my life.

G1 is fast, but Dubina's main point is that C1 is better for most players with topspin games - they have similar topsheet, C1 has a slightly softer sponge. It takes a while before some players need to deal with playing off the table and for quite a few players, they can be very consistent with...

That's fair, it's a forum, even responses to you are often read by other people.

At this point, it is just clickbait. https://butterflyonline.com/Templates/BladeSpecifications.pdf On the y-axis is reaction, which is a measure of the blade speed/rebound. On the x-axis is vibration, which is a measure of frequency. While the correlation is not perfect, it is clearly...

NDH, At the next party, no beer or shots for you! Whether you drink or not! SMH... Anyways, Dan will decide what direction he wants the forum to go in. But honestly, in my not-so-humble-opinion, it is things like some of the attitudes on this thread that prevent TT from ever becoming a...

Haha, you are right, I don't know him at all - for all I know this could be a hacker. I am just trying to treat him how I would hope to be treated. You don't need to know someone to know that struggling can put you in a dark place, and that sometimes, you just need to be encouraged to get...

Try to read his post, his coach has lost faith in him. I don't think your response is appropriate given that with his age as well, he might not have the experience with success, failure and perseverance that might make him see that one month is a very short period of time and that things that...

Thank you!
