I know you love China, but Monteiro ITTF ranking is 51 not 20. Thanks.

I am not sure about the points per tournament, but I think this new ranking system is a move in the right direction *if* it gives the Tour a better product and encourages more sponsorship with better players playing more often. I think that over rewarding participation may hurt the quality of...

Here is my match against my buddy - he has improved and come down a bit because he doesn't play as much because of his son and our club situation - my strokes have improved but my play has come down because of our club and my injuries. We used to play a lot at the old club but since we moved...

What a creative player!

Stop right there - he won the match!

I think you are underestimating Gauzy who is only 23 - peaking at 23 is a bit much, especially since he has been French champion and almost European champion. And even if it is his best ever ranking, top 10 is still a lot - there is no guarantee that ZJK would beat him head to head today.

Gauzy has had a steady trajectory and history of junior and senior achievement. He is creative with his game so he will keep on trying things.

This characterisation of their games is ridiculous. That said, my vote is for Gauzy. He is creative.

All those rubbers are slightly faster and just as grippy. Slightly lower arc but still very spinny.

It depends on what about Baracuda you like or do not like. If you just want a basically spinny rubber from the same generation, I think Joola Explode, Tibhar Genius and Andro Hexer are all lighter in that order (lightest to heaviest). Big Slam is lighter but significantly softer.

I have very large hands and I have never found this to be the case. The issue is what is their grip?

I found MAX too heavy but 2.0 didn't feel much lighter. I would still start with 2.0 though. Cheers.

DerEchte gave her the Rambo Loopah technique. Heavy topspin no pace no spin pushes in your face. And she was like - why should I be losing to someone with a belly like that - she didn't see the Rambo Loopah gunz and thighz from all those years in the Army...

The Timo ZLC has been rated as slower than the ZJK ALC, Timo ALC and Viscaria by Butterfly. This is also what a 2200 junior at my club felt (he uses the ZJK ALC now). But a lot of this is above my head. I will look closer at the details of the Timo ZLC and see whether I can make sense of the...

All the balls I use these days are fine. Nothing to complain about anymore.

I thought the frequency of vibration was a measure of the stiffness - I know the blades might feel different but why would a blade with a higher frequency of vibration be stiffer than one with a lower frequency?

They will fix it to find a better balance like the ATP. They can't skew towards participation so much that it makes ranking meaningless. ELO systems on the other hand can be maintained by anyone. Ratings central is still there for everyone else.

Thanks. What did you get for your True carbons and Viscarias?

Going to do a review for the True Carbon soon. The blade giveaway this Christmas will be epic.

Hey, you know I am an EJ... I remember when a few months back, I watched some videos of me playing with Big Dipper - I got so nostalgic and I gave it a go - and I just realized that the effort was too much for me in my current physical state, so I let it go and I gave away the other sheets I had...
