    And he couldn't be reporting his honest opinion because... And the ump who is supposed to make the call agreed with him because...
  2. Nexy Karis rubber first impressions

    I think the topsheet grip actually goes away/gets a little worse but since it isn't the dominant element in how the rubber produces spin, you don't care about it. The mechanical grip is surprisingly stable and after getting used to it over time and rebuilding your technique for deeper impact...
  3. Japan Open 2017

    You are funny.
  4. Japan Open 2017

    Agreed. I am just saying that it is unlikely the lack of a title will let him downplay the significance of the matchup should it occur. When Ma Long lost his one at the China Open, he didn't give any excuses either.
  5. Nexy Karis rubber first impressions

    Never change those sheets. I changed mine and I wish I never had, so I am no changing the current ones until something forces me to.

    Keep using those sheets. I made the mistake of changing mine and as much as I like my new sheets, I have to break them in to get the feel of the old ones. I will never change my current sheets until they die. I suspect R42 is what will be most like Karis, BTW. R47 is a bit of work but I...
  7. Nexy Karis rubber first impressions

    My BH can use anything so where I struggled with Karis was really on the forehand loop spin. But what I realized over time was that my contact depth could be much deeper than I originally realized, and I like deep contact depth, since I used Big Dipper for a few months while rebuilding my...
  8. Japan Open 2017

    When your record against someone on the world tour is 1-10, every victory counts and is better than a defeat.
  9. Is Samsonov finished ?

    My argument is different and has been made earlier. Drunix80 is a good guy generally and I have no reason to doubt his genuineness and his opinion. What I don't like are conditional insults being thrown around in an atmosphere of disagreement. It's a common strategy used to incite people - if...
  10. Is Samsonov finished ?

    It wasn't about that at all as most/many of us were not born in North America or most/many of us have international exposure. Sophisticated writers know how to insult people who disagree with them without being direct. Of course, if Samsonov isn't playing as well, he is going to lose more...

    With Rasanter, who knows :p... With Karis M, never. M+ is a good rubber, just not as much fun.

    Good for you, I used it for 4 months and I have an extremely powerful backhand but after a while, I gave up on it. MX-S actually has a high throw when you swing hard, the problem is that you need to swing really hard to activate the throw and that almost destroyed me. I could not chiquita with...

    MX-S is a great rubber if you don't topspin with your backhand. It is pretty hard to get arc with typical backhand strokes. R47 is like a more advanced Rhyzm. Extremely grippy topsheet. I have not used it on my backhand so I cannot say for sure how it plays there. But for my forehand, it...
  14. World Table Tennis Championships 2017

    I saw a video of ML and FZD doing backhands in practice from a secret source. Let's just say that one player missed many BH flicks and the other player made virtually every one. People play to their strengths.

    You need to change your signature if you are no longer using the equipment that you used to. White ash (which I think is the outer ply of KJH) is harder than what I typically use, but I am adapting. For the first time in forever, I went to the club with one blade in my bag. It is KJH, R47...
  16. Which physical exercises are the best for table tennis improvement?

    And who are you telling this? A 4 year old? I was being sarcastic, and everyone realized it then.

    I hit with the chopper in my club today. It helped me realize what had gone wrong with my Chiquita. I have become a very big fan of the Kim Jung Hoon blade and the handle design. I wish more blades with limba were designed like that. Korean blades have smaller wings that Japanese blades in...
  18. World Table Tennis Championships 2017

    Remove the doubles match from the teams and just make teams best of 3. Then put in 7 events :D.
