I am in a bit of a trolling mode this evening out of pure boredom, but playing at that level with antispin or LPs is incredibly hard and requires insane touch.
Nah, he obviously can't control his ALC blade. All he needs to do is switch to an allwood blade and annihilate everyone with the resulting insane spin levels ...
He is using it on a Viscaria. But what is the point of putting a rubber like Zyre 03 on an allround allwood blade? Bragging rights? There's no shame in admitting a rubber or blade is too fast for you and continuing to play with what you can actually control.

Lol, the recording of today's "WTT Champions Frankfurt 2025 | Day 2 | Session 1 " - - is now blocked in UK. "This video contains content from SME, who has blocked it in your country on copyright grounds" message. The livestream itself was not blocked. What a sh*tshow.
Oh yes. IMO, the difference in sound between watching a live match at the event vs watching a video is definitely a factor in what makes the latter feel "slower". Humans rely on hearing for so many things - to estimate proximity of the source, whether it is moving away or towards you, whether...
