You have it backwards. The Chinese approach dictates that spin brings you consistency and safety. In fact the Chinese term for adding spin is to add insurance (safety).

Fans tend to take success for granted. GOATs like Ma and Fan will skew what success means. It’s unrealistic to expect Tomo, Truls, or Hugo to be like them. Most Champions will be like Schlager or Ryu.

I will tolerate no slander against the fuel of champions.

Never seen a foil on the hologram, but the one on the bottom plate falls off super easy.

It's not shrink wrapped so it's not a China market blade - I would have thought PROTT sold those exclusively. If it was you could have checked the code.

No he needs Olympic gold to even be considered for a discussion. If then, maybe if he beats FZD for gold.

The Japanese don't call him 中国の壁 for nothing. The top specimen are long gone from table tennis. I'm not certain where to though. It's not weightlifting or football, that's for sure. And table tennis height athletes are not basketball material. There was a survey a few years back and among...

This wasn't about the entire retirement saga, just about the response to that one comment "没你爆他" which was seeing giants where there was windmills. There was another part of the video accusing WCQ of joking with his friend in the stands when FZD was down against Tomo at Paris. As if that's...

The normal person perspective is that it's nothing. It's just two teammates having a chat, shooting the shit, dillying the dally. It's neither a generational slight (FZD fans) nor a sick burn (WCQ fans). The thing that made me chuckle is that I am also very keen on going out to eat with my...

I was referring to whether someone would interpret that as a slight against FZD, like the video was. A normal person would think nothing of it - you make little comments to your friends all the time.

Every now and then there's a prodigy that shows up and rockets up to the top echelon because they've got this one skill that's killer and the others haven't played them that much. Eventually they target that skill and it becomes restricted, and then it's about how they respond that determines...

WCQ essentially said "he doesn't hit as hard as you". How one interprets that is going to be different whether they're a deranged WCQ fan, a deranged FZD fan (closer to the POV of this video), or just a normal person. What made me chuckle though was how preoccupied LSD was with going out and...

It's kind of like the demise of the British Empire. Good for the world that it's happened, yet somehow still kind of a weird sentimental feeling.

I think going from 80-300 grinders the marginal benefits are very high. When you go 300 to 2000+, much less. I'm in the latter category, unfortunately :confused: The Z is a very good looking blade. I always think it's a N though. But it's important to look good

If anyone is honest with themselves, you don't EJ to get better. You EJ for the love of the game - spending money on fun toys. Literally the same as any other hobby. Edit: I jest, but only slightly so. I'm not one to faff around with my equipment but I don't believe reviewers can tell you for...

I think they come across as slow if you play Dignics like Dan does, which was the point of those rubbers. I reckon Butterfly knows some people just want to play Dignics whether it suits them or not, but needed something other than Tenergy to bridge the gap.

I meant 65-75. Hard to tell with the shirts, but table tennis players aren't very muscular, so I'm on the conservative side, mid seventies. I noticed you used someone slim and athletic, like a long distance runner. Sora is not slim and athletic lol. But he's also not built like a sprinter -...

Tomo is almost certainly taller than 170. He just looks much shorter due to his proportions. LYJ is listed as 174 and he looked a smidge shorter than Sora at this last Cup. LYJ looks like the same height as FZD and Tomo back in 2019, and a little shorter than Ma Long at frankfurt (2023). Now...

Tomo is what, 178? They look like they're about the same height. Weight wise, he looks like he's maybe 55-60kg 65-75kg roughly. Need mass if you want to hit hard on the backhand like he and LJK does.

I hate Sanwei rubbers with a passion but they actually make my favorite wood blade. It's their best product by a long shot. V5 Pro
