Haha you guys have great winter months. You should try Sweden. I think that without the case it would be bad but do not think the rubber will be dry in the case? proably someone with more experience of living in awesome weather conditions can help you :cool:

Think you need to specify how hot and for how long, but how would any rubber be ruined if they are in a case? humidity?

Flore got faulted for imparting spin with the hand in his high toss serve. I know the rule, but never heard a umpire comment it.

There are better things to put time and effort in than how your length affect the game. Would be different if you are very very tall or close to a dwarf.

Only know a little about forces but I would say that there is different amount of frictional force between the rubbers.

That is because he only plays with the short pimple rubbers that have grip. If he would use the 802 more, or another more classical short pimple rubber with less grip the ball will slide on the rubber more because of the less grip resulting in more "effect". The short pimples with more grip do...

I think many people start to use pimples for the wrong reasons. At least in my opinion. I think you should start to use pimples to make a strength better or if you have a natural tenedency that favors pimple technique. So in you case short pips would hav been a obvious choice if you have a...

I believe extra offensive is one of the best blades if you look at performance/price. Good blade for not So much money.

Feel like players Do the flick two ways in my opinion, over the ball or on the side. With closed angle going over the ball, need to be able to accelerate well at the highest point and the ball will be fast. Or going on the side of the ball, often at a lower point than the highest I think and the...

Have no clue what you guys are talking about, but that is a goodlooking blade!

Still depends on amount of spin. A heavy backspin backspin serve will make the ball leave your racket so then you need to just hold it. But with a light backspin serve, almost nospin the ball will go up if you just hold it, then you need to close the angle and more dampening it or brush har on...

Feel like it is not that easy. Depends on the spin how much they do a movement by themselves and adjust the angle depending on the spin up, down and left and right to go with and against the spin. Edit: I think they use the whole forearm more. Just wrist to unsafe.

What do you mean by blocker? Do not think anyone just stand there, but proably more do more like active blocking.

Also need to consider the backhand side. It will be easier to smash with harder stiffer blades but will lose some feeling and not as good for looping with inverted. Also depends how hard the short pimple rubber is.

I had friends that used to pushblock with frictionless long pimple and I know that some of them only glued the long pimple rubber on the edge of the rubber. To get more dampening effect perhaps.

How it will play I think will depend on how long and hard pimples are, the spacing and the grip of the pimples.

I like that they play to 5 points. Feels a bit like set to 11 compared to 21. Players need to be really focused all the time or they will lose. So games can go more either way if someone is a bit sleepy which I find exciting. I still miss more of an expert commentator that could talk more...

I can imagine that with a softer slower blade the ball will stay longer on the racket and the arc will be higher and maybe this could help to create spin.

I think you could try to close the angle of the bat, this will give you a bit more spinny stroke and that wil give you more safety. I also think you could try to relax in the hand so you drop the rack down. Now it looks a bit like you have the hand tense and pointing upward which make you not...

You guys are talking about different things i believe. It is possible to Do an opening loop With a somewhat closer racket angle but against topspin When smashing you need a more open angle compared to inverted. You want to smash, Not loop as much as possible.
