Slow and fast are relative terms. By definition there must be something slow if there's something fast. If you were to say there's no such thing as a rubber with no bounce, then sure, I would agree. But saying there's no such thing as a slow rubber would only be true if all rubbers in the world...

You actually see this quite often in high level athletes. You get used to a rhythm and it's very uncomfortable when someone presents a different pattern. Adaptability is a rarer skill than, say, explosiveness. There's a recent video covering a few adjacent concepts in sports performance.

So basically: 1) Place a plastic cutting board on the ground. 2) Place the blade with cutter attached rubber side down on top of the board. 3) Place a piece of wood board on top of the blade+cutter combination - i.e. make a sandwich. 4) Stand on top of the wood board. 5) Repeat for other side...

Right on cue to urinate on a topic.

There's no overhang with this - if you cut it with the rubber side up is that the blade is essentially hanging on the rubber so when you roll the pin over the rubber it pushes the blade down, and the edges lift a little. They are all the same. Might be a little tricky since the head shape is...

No because you secure the belly of the blade to the edge. The cutting edge is touching the sponge to start.

They got one of him with the big boi a while back. Thought it was pretty cool. Costs a pretty penny no doubt.

I bought this to mess around. They give you a rod to roll it with, but it's definitely better if pressed. Rolling works but you have to do it with the rubber side up - otherwise it's hard to cut through the rubber - and it lifts the edges a bit. I like a little overhang, so I kept on with scissors.

You're making multiple points, I think: 1) It's harder for a layman to extract max performance from a table tennis racket than it is for them to do so from a car. Or maybe less generally, from a rubber than a tire. 2) The difference between a fast rubber and a slow rubber is much smaller than...

Nice, a fellow petrolhead. What you said boils down to: you yourself can maximize a car setup more than you can maximize a racket setup. I'm not sure you can generalize that to the population at large. Force is force, regardless of what produces it. Extending your analogy, there's also a limit...

When I see Max Verstappen, the F1maestro, driving a DAF 66 I realze there is no such thing as a slow car.

I with you here. In current form Sora is flying but I guess he needs the hardware to solidify the eye test. Either way, we’re just spectators, and can only enjoy the ride. But the lad definitely delivers exciting matches win or lose. He might need some extended recovery though - he was pawing...

I think it's fine when he posts the translations but when he adds his own embellishments it distorts the whole message. I didn't find where he said Sora was a product of nepotism (nepo baby perhaps, but it's hard to be a nepo baby in sports, unless you're Bronny), but turning recruiting 188...

My (least) favorite part of the early days was when my coach would say "you're not understanding this movement, look at how he's doing it" and you look over and it's some kid who can barely see over the table.

Think about which ball will fly further - a baseball struck floating in space, or a 95 mph fastball?

The ZJK SZLC is the exact same as the FZD SZLC, save for the handles. I played with a no-name inner SZLC for the last 6 months. I found it to be pretty enjoyable, kind of just felt like a slightly faster 968. The only other SZLC blade I have any experience with is the LYJ one. The examples I...

Latest research suggest adolescence may run through 32. You're conflating multiple areas of philosophy, science, and legal theory. The military needs bodies, not critical thinkers, at the enlisted level. Tell me, do officers commission after 6 months of basic? (It doesn't seem like you've hung...

Can't ride off into the sunset when you rack up even digit gambling debts. But he's literally telling people there's no need to buy expensive blades because there's not that much R&D that goes into it, including the ones with his name on it. In other streams he also tells people there's no need...

Which forearm muscles - i.e. extensors or flexors? What's the time frame? You can have the strongest grip in the world but if it's constantly activated you're going to burn out in 60 seconds. You're only really squeezing the blade when you strike. It's called overgripping and you can resolve it...

You all are very generous. 🫣 I've never banged it on the table on purpose, so even if I trust someone else, I still don't trust them.
