  1. Information about GEWO ?

    Their clothing is super high quality.
  2. Booster legalization proposed

    Bummer if they don't change it
  3. Tansition from hurricane to tenergy

    T05 might help get you to 15 min before you are tired. I wish I could watch you and see what you are doing that wears you out that fast. It is quite odd, but I am sure you are reporting what you feel. Without seeing you my first guess is that maybe you are stiff as a board and need to relax...
  4. Tansition from hurricane to tenergy

    My advice is that we should talk about the tired part first. What do you mean? How quickly? Do you get sore, out of breath or just slow? Doing what? A lot of that "Chinese philosophy" is not even Chinese, it is just proper technique. So how can we help you get past that? Describe it more.
  5. The Making of Nittaku Premium 40+ Ball

    Really interesting. The ball weld especially. Also, what drugs do Japanese TV presenters take to be so enthusiastic and where can I get some?
  6. Difference between better and worse players?

    Play more. There is no shortcut.
  7. Do you change game/tactics as you get tired?

    What you train is what you do. If your fitness causes your technique to degrade and you keep playing, you reinforce bad technique. A thought for the day.
  8. Language on ITTF site

    In fairness I wonder if he writes the headlines. A lot of times headlines are not written by the person who writes the article. Of course ITTF does not have a lot of staff, so who knows? His writing style does not do justice to his knowledge of the sport and his enthusiasm.
  9. Which poly ball should you choose?

    That is the key question. I think the companies contracting with the factory can specify QC standards but that affects the price they have to pay a d then pass on. In any case it is strongly looking like seamed ABS balls will win out. I am very much ok with that.
  10. Which poly ball should you choose?

    The Stiga I tried were good. But only one box of three. Very small sample.
  11. Language on ITTF site

    The ITTF should probably post their articles in English, Chinese and Spanish for maximum coverage with the least effort. By the way, not all British writing is complex and not all American writing is simple. Those choices are personal more than anything else. After you have spent a lot of...
  12. Back to TT after 25 years!

    Just play as much as you can. Regaining your feel will take time. Don't worry about equipment for awhile.
  13. Which poly ball should you choose?

    Actually I do too.
  14. Language on ITTF site

    I like good writing but remember that the first lettrr in ITTF stands for International. They don't post in very many languages and for a lot of readers English is a second language. On the other hand, long Latin-derived words aren't the problem. It is short Anglo-Saxon words that aren't used...
  15. Language on ITTF site

    Obviously that is not what I am calling for. Read Hemingway. Great example of someone who writes in a style accessible to pretty much anyone without resorting to "X won because X is good". Still, like I said, this is not a problem that keeps me awake at night.
  16. Language on ITTF site

    It is a valid criticism. Writers should try to keep their audience in mind. The problem when writing for an international audience comes from using unnecessarily obscure Anglo-Saxon words like "thwarted" that don't have cognates in other languages. The "big words" are actually not the...
  17. Bug After Forum Upgrade

    Just bring Zeio back. It is dark whereever it took him
  18. Bug After Forum Upgrade

    Pray to Ba'al. A sacrifice will also do.
  19. Bug After Forum Upgrade

    Wow. The last post?????? I fear the bug sucked Zeio into a black hole too! I hope he finds his way back.
  20. Booster legalization proposed

    Here is a rare time when I disagree with Zeio. The phrase "harmful or unhealthy for the persons" would certainly allow a large number of substances which can produce some boosting effect. To list a few, there are baby oil, paraffin, eucalyptus oil, citrus oils, etc. They may not be quite as...
