Am I crazy or are the rallies a bit slower than usual?

His profile on Joola's website says he was using Dynaryz ZGR on both sides, so I think it would make sense to assume hes using Dignics on both sides here (sponge color is also the same, and clearly not ZGR).

Kenji Matsudaira, immediately after signing with Joola, switches to Dignics. Togami, the newest Zyre user?

The only real answer. Not many, if any hybrids as tacky as this one. Can get it for $38 on ebay as well. Awesome rubber and I think I'm going to give it another go.

Okay but not everyone wants reversal. There's a reason choppers use rubbers like Feint Long II/III, P1/4, with thick sponge. Not all long pips are the same, and some have gripper textured tops, while others are very smooth. While they are obviously not as grippy as other styles of rubber, there...

Yes but it's available only to customers at Japanese retailers and I believe its a lottery. The reason Butterfly ended the service initially was because stores and individuals in Japan were buying custom blades and then selling them on the open market which Butterfly felt devalued the product.

Hashimoto fully in control and has luck on her side right now. By far her most impressive shot, to me, is her counter off of heavy slow top spin. She is so good at killing that ball which easily has to be one of the more difficult shots in the sport.

https://www-nikkan--gendai-com.translate.goog/articles/view/sports/359893?_x_tr_sl=ja&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=sc According to Kyodo News, on the 29th, Hyogo Prefectural Police arrested Hiroki Kihara (54) on suspicion of sexually abusing a girl under the age of 16 without her consent.

The order explicitly names China according to the white house: https://www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/2025/04/fact-sheet-president-donald-j-trump-closes-de-minimis-exemptions-to-combat-chinas-role-in-americas-synthetic-opioid-crisis/ Be that as it may, it's still going to someone who has to...

It's really a matter of how much the distributers are getting hit now. If Megaspin gets their stuff directly from China, say dozens of sheets a time, or from DHS in North America who could be importing thousands of sheet at a time, it's not going to be pleasant.

The de minimis threshold to China was eliminated https://www.wsj.com/livecoverage/trump-tariffs-trade-war-stock-market-04-02-2025/card/trump-ends-popular-de-minimis-trade-exemption-for-china-used-by-shein-temu-9Ib4ozrVgEK1OudeahtJ So now you will be paying import duties on products of any...

This is correct. He continues to use it on his backhand. You can clearly see the pink sponge here: Miwa, meanwhile, still has it on her forehand:

https://world-tt.com/blog/news/archives/259162 Kenji Matsudaira has signed with Joola. He will use the Vyzaryz Trinity with Dynaryz ZGR on both sides.

Ball trajectory. Watch where the ball lands and how it reacts afterward. Backspin will decelerate where as top spin naturally jump forward more. Of course if there is any side spin you should be able to tell as the ball is going to go left or right. In one of those Chinese coaching videos the...

https://jp.mercari.com/item/m87542782880 Someone is selling a near mint one for nearly $2000.

He used the Franziska ZLC in the R32 so the most likely explanation is his paddle failed testing so he had to use something else. He could be trying something new out, but not sure why he would do that in the 2nd round and not the first as well.

https://x.com/shiroya_yarilog/status/1899943492585218495 Looks like Tomo put Zyre on his backhand instead this time.

Mizuno has come out with a Wave Medal 7 Wide model. https://jpn.mizuno.com/ec/disp/attgrp/81GA2415/ My current asics are still in alright condition, but I did roll my ankle recently though I'm unsure if that was due to the shoe specifically. One shoe I am personally very interested in is the...

According to Butterfly Japan it's a custom Super ALC with G-Fless handle. It appears she started using this at the beginning of February.

Batra changes her FH rubber, V22 double extra? 09c for Wang Yidi Super Viscaria -> Viscaria for Sreeja Akula. I forgot Akula had also switched to DNA on her FH (I think I figured out it was Dragon Grip?)
