These discussions are pointless in every sport. Even in timed/measured like swimming or track and field the kit and training has changed so much, who can say how good an athlete from decades ago would be today. In games with rule changes and massive disruptions it's totally ridiculous. In the...

Fwiw i tried force pro black edition with spectol red and couldn't hit within five feet of the table. I think you are changing the wrong variable. Spectol red is so fast it's almost unplayable for someone who hasn't already mastered sp. So if you want to ej, do it with rubber. The fp blue is...

I know you understand diminishing returns, so I'm not sure why you posted as if you don't. My blade is stiff enough for sp. So was the p700. The sweden classic wasn't. And neither was the OP's first blade. If blades with some degree of flex aren't better for looping, why do pros use...

I switched to SP bh a year ago. Like everything else ej, at the margins it doesn't matter. If a blade is slightly stiffer you won't get a tiny bit more control, it will just be lost in the boise and randomness of tt play. But with inverted I was using a sweden classic, extremely flexible...

Whatever color is closest to the color of my tt shirts, so probably a blue.

They are nice and wide. Length is standard imo.

There is a world champs of ping pong. Everyone plays with sandpaper and the winner gets a lot of money. Perhaps you've heard of it?

She bageled DN in the semi and then bageled CM in the final? Good Lord, that's not easy to do.

Two matches for the Olympics, and a shot vs DN for gold, in all likelihood. That's a lot to play for.

Then LSW has a shot, only needs to beat DN and the winner of CM/WMY. Is def doable. I would love to see her get to play Oly singles, even if it is four years too late.

Sorry, dupe post. In the bottom half who will come out WMY, SYS or CM? SYS is def the underdog, but between CM and WMY it seems pretty even.

I wonder if SYS can carry her momentum over to beat another CNT. And with Ito gone all my hopes are with LSW. Would love to see her win and give the coaches something to think about for singles at the Olympics. I bet DN isn't happy to see LSW in the semis, assuming both get that far. Well...

I was thinking from her opponent's POV, the main advantage of SP is speed, so Ito's hits being slower off the table would give the other women more time.

You think a slower table helps Ito's bh? What is your logic?

Greater London is awfully big. Got a postcode or council? Fusion is a good club in SE16. But depending where you are there may be others much closer. http://www.fusionttc.co.uk/

If you only switched to SP bh a few months ago then your control probably stinks bc you haven't learned to play with SP yet. I switched last May and I am finally starting to play proper SP strokes most of the time. Also consider if your blade could be too flexy for SP. I had to switch twice...

That is a great angle. Wish ITTF wpuæd learn from that.

Forget about stolen or not. It's the internet for God's sake. More people want to see the Japanese women players. They have the best chance in the world to compete with CNT and add sone drama to upcoming majors.
