  1. Sweet spot

    Well, it’s internal and sometimes a bit tricky to locate. Once you do and stimulate it in a fashion according to personal preference, great pleasure can be delivered. It is known.
  2. DIGNICS 09C | 5 Things You NEED To Know

    Yeah, in retrospect SpinArt is sounding very good... :rolleyes:
  3. Q: Stiga expert VM

    It's an excellent table, as long as you don't need viability for wheelchair play. I really don't think thickness matters much beyond 25mm, but overall build and construction quality and finish level do. It's a bit heavy, of course, as thick dense things are wont too. It's also (I would say)...
  4. What is the best alternative for Tenergy 05?

    I have little doubt about being able to tell te difference between the non-fx Tenergies and the common alternatives. I do like T05 and do think it has unique qualities. However, for me that also holds true for quite a few of the common contenders. Much of that is level and style related, and...
  5. New Equipment (Rubbers & Blades) 2020

    Well, perhaps that's part of the reason why it took so long for the Viscaria to catch on.
  6. New Equipment (Rubbers & Blades) 2020

    C’mon bobp, doesn’t everybody know that corporate crap smells like roses and tastes like chocolate?
  7. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    Well, that ‘carona’ has been sticking out like a sore thumb. And indeed, Tokyo 2020 is history. Forward-looking is always the right thing, even though that might, under circumstances, entail pointing out obstructional road blocks in the way forward. A solid yes on all counts, then!
  8. Daily Table Tennis Chit Chat

    And thus, the second era of Swedish TT ultrasupremacy commenced...
  9. How long does a blade and a rubber have?

    You’ll know when your rubber is done for. You can come up with ballpark estimates ("after 100 hours of play", YMMV), but it makes little sense to schedule changes upfront - well, unless you’re in Timo Boll territory, matching change frequency with a training and tournament schedule.
  10. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    1. There was no iceberg 2. The iceberg was a hoax 3. The China-berg will pass right by 4. Nobody could've known how big the China-berg was 5. I always said the China-berg’s a disaster 6. The passengers should protect themselves 7. Lifeboats are only for the ship 8. It was a perfect collision 9...
  11. Ma long serve

    Pendulum, usually. He can put on anything and though FZD, XX, TB etc. apparently can read them (mostly) I cannot. You will find footage on youtube, including slo-mo serve analysis.
  12. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    War is peace. Death is safety. We have always called this a pandemic. There is no shortage. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-03-31/hospitals-tell-doctors-they-ll-be-fired-if-they-talk-to-press
  13. TTBelgiumHistory 1984-2008

    I have read that before, but from the games I’ve seen would not reach that conclusion. The touch and anticipation of Philippe is quite impressive. Near Waldnerian game smarts too; great player. Yet the immense agility, physicality, overpowering pressure, deep solidity and amazing defensive...
  14. Strategy for dealing with Harimoto's screaming

    Yes, we all need good role models. That said, I've never seen that kind of unsportmanslike behaviour from Harimoto, even though he's still very young.
  15. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    I don't think it necessarily true that getting the thing done should be the only, or even the first, priority. Sometimes you just have to cut your losses. This may not yet be the moment to do so, given that people need time to deny, be furious, try bargaining themselves out of the pit, be...
  16. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    They're still being rather optimistic, then.
  17. Strategy for dealing with Harimoto's screaming

    Personalities differ. To me, Harimoto gives the impression of an introvert, a shy boy, taught to build confidence by externalisation techniques. There are and have been many players willing or even eager to disrupt their opponents concentration (and the overall flow of the game) in multiple...
  18. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020 Responsibility for the virus is not the issue. Responsibility for dealing with it (or the lack of such) is. Responsibility for dismantling the response capability prior to the crisis is. Responsibility for spreading lies, for actively putting obstacles in the way...
  19. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    It certainly doesn’t help that given shortage of test capacity only the seriously ill get tested. That skews the statistics in ways difficult to quantify. I personally know somebody with high fever for over a week, and severe trouble breathing. Yet not critical enough for hospitalisation, so...
  20. Caronavirus & Tokyo 2020

    Too easy, Takkyu. Too easy, too sweeping. In fact, many politicians actually try their utter best to do what's right. What does not help, is that nuance and unwelcome measures do get punished at the box ballot. Typically by people claiming that all politicians are clowns, corrupt swamp...
