If it is not causing a problem then dont worry about it. However the problem will show up most in short game and return of serve if there is a problem.

But your honor and honesty are intact. Sorry you ended up with a fake blade.

One last thing as a general remark. The M series was not one of the most outstanding production runs for Vis aria. I have about three of them in my closet. What you really want are H and I. The new hologram ones are pretty good too. Of course all of that is on average. They made some great...

+1 to what Garrison wrote. Unfamiliar players will bring out the worst in most people until you get a lot of experience playing unfamiliar players (often in new places). That like a lot of things is something of a learned skill.

There is definitely a relationship between pitch and speed but there are other factors that can make that relationship imperfect. And you cant use it to compare speed of blades with quite different construction.

I am waiting for Butterfly Covfeve.

James, I would say that backing off just a little bit from "as aggressively as possible" and making sjre you can attack tbe next ball too is a quick mental shortcut to get you to the same place. Or as coach Li Kewei tells me sometimes "Ma Long can do that. Maybe not you."

Yes, now I am getting suspicious too.

Yes. The "perfomance" looks real to me. I'm not convinced it's fake.

G40 is horrible. I am glad they will have an ABS ball.

I can tell a liittle when I compare blades of the same model, I usually like Viscarias with a lower pitch. But the only way to know for sure is to play with it. Also it has to feel "right" in my hand.

I don't even think about stuff like this. I play the ball in a way that seems to make the most sense tactically and based on where I am and what I can do at that moment. Table tennis is zen and thinking too much about this is anti-zen. In practice, I flat hit if the ball is high and if I...

There are different degrees of cloning. Yinhe often copies Butterfly construction in terms of thickness and composition of plies in the blade but they rarely copy the way the blade looks from the outside (although at one point the did steal the OPS design). Doubleday in Taiwan used to be an...

You learn interesting things every day.

The announcer is an idiot about TT. She seems to have gotten her job owing to her looks (very nice) and quite good English. But since mostly we just hear her dumb comments they are wasted.. The viseos are interesting. Just turn down the sound.

Because the World Cup always includes at least one player from each Continental region. Hence one North American, one South American, and one from Australia/Oceania and in this case two from Africa (who are actually good players). The tournament has always been set up that way.

Except that almost every significant sports league in the world has foreign players. Think of the NBA, the English Premier League, and pretty much every other TT league in the world, just to name a few. Do you think Americans are afraid of "revealing their secrets" by having Pau Gasol in the...

Me too.

21? I don"t think many recent male WTTC champions have been that young.

That's it of course. Who in Belarus is going to yake Vladi's place? Sadly there were no really good young Swedish players who could replace Waldner or Persson. China and Japan are a different situation. Always good young players coming up. Not quite as much in Korea. You will notice JSH is...
