I get the same issue, Pilgrim. (I actually noticed because I'm dabbling with a T25FX handoff, and a touch of OC led me there.)

Get enough sleep. Make sure you're hydrated. A bit of magnesium/zync never hurts. Arrive on time, explore the venue. Take time to warm up and get used to the light, the tables, the floor. Play a few short practice matches. Then just have fun, one rally at a time. As you play more...

I guess I ended out this thread on a bit of a downer. Let me unend it. With an increased dosage of pain killers, I fel it worth a try to partner in a training session. After a few minutes, my FH became unhampered and I had a good training session, ending with a few practice matches with (for...

4 out of 5 rating for Vega X As an intermediate level, FH-oriented player I glued on Vega X (black, 2.0) while playing a tournament to replace the R53 that I had just destroyed by grazing the table corner. The transition was immediate. Some observation: - Great rubber (for me) when serving...

Oh, still my neck hernia acting up. Same old same old, except that the pain levels go through the roof now, at times. In non-corona times the neurologists/neurosurgeons and the palliative party people might have been a bit more forthcoming. Or available at all.

Even though injured (with a positively grim outlook, at this point), I'm as smitten as you, Mart1n. A simple like button does no justice to this.

It really does look like Koto to me.

113km/h is amazing. Dima stepped in, as he should, but wasn’t that ball fed a bit shorter, and with a whiff of bachspin? Having fed balls for hours to youngsters against a speedometer, I noted that the feed of the ball really mattered.

Short and sweet.

I think the Treiber CI/CO are Koto outer blades. I believe the CO is the replacement of the much beloved Treiber K.

Speeding up the 6th mass extinction event.

This is my favourite shirt. Still.

Humidity is a thing. Like Lula pointed out, if you hit correctly and confidently and yet the ball just drops, then you better either stop or adapt. I usually change to a flatter playstyle, staying close to the table. To prevent it, as far as possible, timely ventilation helps. I find that...

I'm checking https://www.ittf.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/T4_Racket_Coverings_forBOD2017-without-deletings.pdf and don't see any requirement mandating both sides of the blades be covered. Actually, the very first sentence suggests that one or two are allowed, in the general definition of a...

[This is me wondering why nobody asked for playing footage yet]

That soooo looked like Yevgeny Nikolayevich was going to clinch it in the end!

Hey MOG, I’m not offended, but neither pleased. I think what you describe as a well-intended, tongue in cheek provocation to get the fireworks started might as well simply be called out as trolling. Yes, it works, and many took the bait. It’s not a tactic I would consider a beneficial one...

Yup, all the way. Spot on, tip tip tallyho!

Cheers Dan!
