Strictly speaking a "professional" is someone who earns a living from their "profession" rather than simply being "good enough" to be a professional. There are plenty of top amateur athletes or sportsmen/women who are not professional because they do not choose to earn a living from their sport...

Awesome video as always and some great wins!

SOLD Purchased new in March this year and made in Nov '21 according to info card. Weight is 91g and condition is very good (one small ding in the side you can see in pic) I have played less than 20h with this as I have been trying a few other blades. Can post to UK but am also coming to US in...

The funny thing is I was also underwhelmed when I first played with my HL5x. I think the expectation is that these blades are game changing, which they are not. However as I played more with the blade I learnt that it’s upsides were subtle and nuanced - underwhelm went to admiration as I found...

What a shot!

Loved every minute - some amazing wins against very classy players. can’t wait for more!

I just wanted to update anybody interested - I just received my "FH arm fixer" from Superbuy in less than 2 weeks to the UK - product looks great and quality is good.

I would also give serious consideration to a Violin - I have both Acoustic and Violin and for what you are looking for the Violin is a better match. In fact I prefer it in most respects to my Acoustic and find very little difference in speed (if any)

I found that recently I made the most points by ensuring I never pushed twice in the same place or length and also by focusing on deeper pushes to either side.

I had a similar experience a few months ago at an open tournament where I found myself in a group with 2 very good players who were competing for the overall. I found myself unable to get "into" any decent rallies and play any of my stronger shots - in this case I don't think it was because...

That first video is great - really helpful explanations. Thx.

I have, and currently use an Acoustic large handle. It’s a lovely blade with good feel, control and decent speed. I use D05/D80

That's tough - lockdown feels like a distant memory here in the UK and life feels fairly normal most of the time. I feel for you not being able to play - I look forward to my sessions so much. Do you have a table or robot you can play against at least? I have never been to China but the culture...

Makes sense - thanks. I have definitely seen the scope for winning that a decent confident BH attack gives you - hence my focus on how to get to it as soon as possible!

Thanks - that makes sense as he plays with pips on backhand and so this shot comes into play. I have watched the 30s shot and can see what he achieves with. it - I guess my point remains though that it is short and compact and overcomes the backspin (not too heavy) without being long and slow...

I think it's a very interesting topic - certainly I have been given cause to consider it recently. By way of example I had been struggling with using my BH stroke to overcome backspin and turn it into a topspin opener - I also looked my FH stroke when I do this and noted two things 1) I have a...

D80 is a little fast but on all wood it’s not too much so. A good alternative would be T05FX or T80FX which is my next step on my ALC blade which is faster.

I use both a Violin and an Acoustic and have found I really enjoy D05 on FH and currently have D80 on BH -both of these offset the slight lack of speed of the blade and I find them plenty fast enough for my game (which tends towards attack)

Fake is fake - not good to see at all regardless of price.
