Don't know much if anything about their individual personal circumstances but both of them are too good to fade away, they have been challenged and I suspect they will respond.

We agree on substance but the motives for not admitting that even a backspin serve with tacky rubber requires more effort than a backspin serve with non-tacky rubber are not entirely innocent if you trace the argument. In the end, we don't gain much from these arguments over what words mean...

Then why is there disagreement with Merlin's statement that getting this extra spin requires more effort and thicker contact, especially because most tacky rubber requires harder sponge and tack makes getting ball separation harder? I think you missed the main point here - everyone other than...

Pitchford needs to fix his game so he is not this susceptible to Walker. Jarvis is on the verge of breaking out - what country does he play league in?

Your list of competitors is interesting. I am sure there woud be some debate but for me, I remember a 2300 guy who visibly and notoriously got better spin from Andro Hexer than Tenergy 05. Anyone who doesnt give himself to adapt to a rubber and understand what the full picture is after trying...

The Lebrus playing each other might actually be the fastest paced high level table tennis matchup . Nobody stalling in between points lol.

Wow. The young guns are not messing around....

I did read in a discussion on mytt that MX-D is more stable. Not that I care these days but maybe people who like slightly harder sponge and don't like MX-P because the booster doesn't last might do okay with MX-D.

G1 is cheaper than Rozena if you order at TT11. Just saying...

I caught thr last game of Gauzy‐Lebrun, it was really hard to watch. Gauzy looked like someone who belonged in a museum. I hope he can find some reserves in his game because he cant go from beating Xu Xin to this.

So Jarvis won the other semi over who?

Wow. Walker does have those phone booth moments, they just don't seem to last.

Yeah, to be fair, I know people who use cheap Chinese rubblers like Hurricane or commericial H3 and laugh at me using sticky ESN hybrids that cost way more. In the end, people should use whatever they feel happy playing with, the main point of Rozena is that people can trust the properties...

Counter spin with backhand is risky but the backswing with the bow and the wrist positioning is incredibly important. Otherwise there is very little to give to the ball over a short distance and you are better off just flat blocking or punch blocking as those are far less risky. It is really...

Thanks for sharing. Ttlondon2012 posted some Kallberg and Truls highlight videos throughout the tournament. What happened to Karlsson and Falck? Truls has an interesting semifinal vs Persson but not sure who Kallberg faced.... I got YouTube alerts for the French and Felix went down 0‐3 to a...

Agreed to an extent. There are tradeoffs people have to make. The thing is that I have seen USATT 2200 players play well with Rozena. As Lazer pointed out, Tenergy places demands on your passive play that many people who use it can't deliver on. For what Rozena does, it is a much better...

When you have crossed over to he forehand side and then a ball is played to your backhand and you have to hit it while moving back into the backhand corner. Unless you hand switch you have to to use backhand cross footwork and position your elbow properly relative to the ball. Since you arent...

I think you can (sit on the backhand since it is more arm driven and tuck the elbow back in es part of the forehand backswing) but it doesnt really matter. The most important thing is to have patterns that make you ready for the shots you intend to play once you anticipate them. I think when...

You make your own point, I make mine. I used the thing long enough to make my own points about it.

So what would be the ratios with a non-tacky rubber?
