I guess that’s why Boll weighs the sheets, using different weights (hardness) for different playing conditions.

Methinks she should woman him up, more likely, if that's what it takes to get a little of that spirit in.

Such it has been, and it's getting sucher by the tourney.

Umm, to get to the other side?

I'd say he's had a well-deserved little break coming for quite a while already. Hope he's replenishing as I type, for Xu Xin is a spice of life player to me.

WCQ lost a match (boo hoo hoo) and then threw a temper tantrum, so it seems.

I agree. SYS and WMY should have been penalized immediately by the umpires. But they weren't, and though the umpires share part of the blame for that they themselves are still the prime culprits, undeniably and nonrepudiably responsible for their own misbehaviour.

A very large ball?

Yes. People make mistakes and can do ugly things, especially under pressure. Of this I (“of all people”) am highly aware. But people can also bounce back, show improvement — even if only by acknowledgement. I have seen no such redeeming feats from SYS. Quite the contrary. And that’s what I’m...

It's not the lack of apologies about the things that do go with the game, and even though I do think civility matters there playing on and not dwelling on it is of course the thing to do. The prime example is calling a let after losing a point in a doubles game. AFTER the point was scored, a...

Then of course it might also be somewhat related to SYS recidivism in the matter, infamously stealing matches as well as general lack of sportsmanship. Ito might well have given up on niceties in the face of that.

I found it at <http://www.ttpromotions.nl/webshop/uitrusting/frames/offensieve-frames/xiom/xiom-vega-europe.html> (a shop run by former international and topcoach Anne Vlieg).

I doubt there's a generic answer to this generic question. At the top, athletes are as fit as they can be. Going from example, consider Ryu Seung-min and Joo Sae-hyuk. Both push the boundaries of physical possibility to the limit. Then again, attackers can be lazy up to a certain point...

Yes. I compared them, and the first finding is a price difference of exactly €30. Which roughly equates to a few weeks of subsistence.

Joola.

Like a Viscaria, but a less steeper engagement curve - more subdued on low-power strokes.

Calibra LT seems to hit the flat hitting style well. I would guess it’s a rubber that enables hitting through spin-heavy balls with relative ease. So spinners get lured into opening up with heavy spin only to get blasted out of the court by the counter.

A bunch of the “spin everything!” crowd over here hates running into Calibra LT vengefully. We have a few counterhitters that use Coppa X2 on somewhat harder, but usually not wildly speedy, blades. The Timo Boll Forte comes to mind.

Matters not. Both are excellent offensive rubbers and either will work. As a matter of personal taste, you might prefer one or the other.
