I very much disagree but equipment is a personal thing. A Mazunov isn't that fast anymore compared to what most people use and it blocks really well.

Thanks, guys. Thinking of going back to a Mazunov with medium rubbers. I now play twice a week on most weeks, sometimes only once, and I can't maintain the effort level required to spin consistently with sticky hard rubbers.

Has anyone ever experienced a change in TT situation that led to their training hours going down and a realization that what they used was too hard for them to use and that they had to go to something more controllable that didn't need as many hours to master?

I thought TTlondon2012 produced most of the videos for TTBL?

Nah. Zjk's technique IMO is not as good as these guys. ML and FZD are the pinnacle of what they do based on how they drive the body into the ball. ZJK was not at their level even though he was great for what he did with the old ball. And of course this is the opinion of an amateur in the...

The Hurricane they use is spinnier than Dignics. The new plastic balls are just easier to block in general. To me the match was too close for any meaningful changes. It just feels good to see Ma Long close to his peak again.

He will lose his changeups then... it's a balancing act...

I feel like a freaking idiot waiting for the youtube notification and missing the whole thing. So FZD won?

Wang Chuqin probably a bit hurt by he and Ma Long being on the same team so he couldn't get coaching.

What time is the final?

I once wrote about what I learned from someone who was good with this kind of stuff and because it is so far from conventional wisdom, I tend not to write about it. But basically, if your muscles tighten, the tendons attached to them get yanked. So if you relax the muscles and then get them...

The doubles title is the one I think Ma Long really wanted (I remember the last time they didn't win it, he and Xu Xin were not happy). Will be interesting to see what happens in the singles. I will be watching...

Read a lot of youtube videos or google TT forums on how to manage tennis elbow. You may need to rest a bit but it is 100% manageable if you learn to work on the muscles and tendons causing it. But the work is just as important as the rest.

Forbes had two articles both concerned about how the vaccine trials were structured to exclude the high risk groups afflicted by the disease, which means the trials are likely to be more successful than they should be given the nature of the high risk groups for the disease. Are these concerns...

Did XX and WCQ play yet? EDIT: LOL

I think they are all resolving health issues, though ZYL is clearly more complicated.

To put it mildly, you have a very interesting view of TT. You probably need to get closer to how the Chinese coaches view the national events. Ma Long is mostly playing this year to stay in shape, this is not an event he usually tries to peak for - it isn't the National games. He would...

Looked more like Liu Dingshuo and the young lefty on CNT - forget her name now... Qian Tianyi

Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu - in fact on mytt, I remember someone posting that ZYL had missed her chance to win a WTTC because the SY/WMY generation was coming up too quickly (and at this time, we barely even know who they were). I thought he was being too pessimistic, but he has largely turned...

Chen Meng and Fan Zhendong still don't get the job done (easily) it seems...
