I think you will find it hard to differentiate between the flex of an OSP virtuoso and the flex of Force Pro Blue Edition. In fact since you aren't an EJ, you may not realize that the Acoustic Carbon just ain't that stiff. A really stiff blade would be Sardius or almost any T5000 blade. Since...

If you really care about the answer to the question, get some frequency measurements. But I know from personal experience and the blades I play well with (and trust me I have extensive experience with the Blue edition) that it is a low frequency vibrating blade.

Here we go again...

I don't agree they are better, I think a lot depends on the playing level and style and stroke timing. If you can generate opportunities to smash and do so with a fast blade and you have the consistency and arm speed, then stiffer blades may work for you. But the issue is when you are not so...

Yeah. The problem is that a difficult field to some people is all about China. I can see why they believe this, but it means much more than that. Who knows who the Koreans left out on the ladies side? The dark horse almost eliminated Hoo Doi Kem. Allowing the top countries to field deeper...

A lot of GOAT discussions come down to silly quibbles. The question is whether some people want to accept that there are reasons to disagree or whether some people believe that they are so right that only an idiot can disagree.

My response was very appropriate. You really should consider how silly her statement is. My silly statement was just pointing that out.

A lot of guessing in your opinion too. The birth defects and lower back injuries of ZJK are on record. You don't know the severity of an athlete's injuries or what he can do to treat them. I am basing my experience on having congenital knee and spinal defects and knowing how rhet ha e hurt...

I can but I don't negotiate with terrorists. Have a good day.

You can blame people who like to act as if there is only one truth and the people they are talking to are stupid.

The kind of back pain ZJK had has ended TT players careers. That is all I am going to say about it. He could probably have taken more time off with better medical advice but no one really knows how to treat these things in the context of high level sports performance so he was probably advised...

Of course I have listened to alternative thoughts. Have you? You can't act like your way is the only way. And remember that your way doesn't impact the field for other countries, which mine does. The field is still the field as a stronger field can find it easier to eliminate a problem...

Well what about you? You claimed that ML said he lost to Wang Hao because of technique not because of mentality. Have you corrected yourself since Zeio has quoted otherwise? Everyone makes mistakes. But some people own up to them.

Thanks. I thought it was just me. He makes my point for me every time. He just doesn't think someone can be as biased as he is about Ma Long for someone else.

Ever played with a lower back injury, which is the predominant injury that Zhang Jike had?

So you think the internal.competion aspect is the only dimension and not the fact that more players from better TT countries get to play? So you think that the Olympics tournament is harder to win because China has more internal competition and only gets 2 spots instead of 3? Same with...

You make it sound like all injuries are the Same once you decide to play on.

There are many ways of measuring the quality of a field. You are using one but there are others. Can you compare a field in which the top 7 Chinese players can make WTTC with a field where only the top 5? Same for Germany or Sweden? Japan and Korea? Lim Jonghoon couldn't play this year for...

Of course it is not moot. If it was moot, then players would never need to adapt to rule changes. This is why we sometimes talk about eras. Obviously the logic is lost on you.

Not reaching for straws. In fact I would argue that you are just a Ma Long sycophant. The argument has the same level of value. Changing the ball or the material subtly changes the skills that are required to dominate. In fact, Wang Liqin failed quite a few racket tests trying to get his...
