    It's just about that time, @TampaBayTableTennis
  3. Comfortable grip tape/finger cover for injured finger

    The hand bit of my injuries was to my non-dominant side. I had much bigger obstacles to overcome before I could get back to the table. That said, the Mederma and massage did help make the scars less pronounced much more quickly than prior ones. And yes, though my nerve damage was severe enough...
  4. Comfortable grip tape/finger cover for injured finger

    Sorry to hear of your injury. After far more many surgeries and physical therapy sessions than I'd like to recall, I can share some of my experience. My DPT used in office - and had me get for home use - Mederma scar gel, combined with lots of gentle massage of the scar tissues to help break...

    No idea, but I dig it! Was excited to see it as the opener on the main table and made it a point to be seated and attentive before the start. And as I mentioned upthread (at the time it was 2 games a piece), it was great fun to watch. Hope we get to see a lot more of them together!

    Nah, this was far more than being unhappy about a loss. And it's not about Togami's serve, either. Match is here, starts ~ 45min: First game goes by uneventfully. After Alamanya's served point at 0-0 to start the second game (~52min) the gestures of discontent begin. At 4-4 (54 min)...

    First win for Gauzy against him in seven tries, yeah?

    This Pistej/Kukulkova vs Lind/Diaz XD match is a very entertaining way to get this tourney started!
  14. Looking for a fat core all wood blade

    The thickest (6.9mm total) 5 ply ayous core blade that comes immediately to mind is the Tibhar lV-S - but don't know how much of that is core, and am also pretty sure that all 5 layers are ayous. Your best bet for getting exactly what you're looking for is contacting a quality custom maker like...

    Speaking of Indian women, cool to see Yashaswini Ghorpade - one of the two to defeat Fan Siqi in singles during the most recent edition of UTT - make it through qualifying. Imagine she'll have a much tougher time in her first round match vs Wang Yidi, though.
