Nobody can extimate actual spin on the ball. Without a very high speed camera, people can only see the effect spin has on arc, bounce off the table, and effects on opponent's racket. All of those phenomena sre complex because they don't just depend on the rotations per second. Same with the...

I've not tried the Stiga ABS but I am starting to think from descriptions here that they are made by Double Fish.

In preparation for the tournament taper down the duration and intensity of your practice. Just enough time to keep your feel for the game. Maybe just 60 minutes or so on any day. During this next week you are not going to improve now matter what you do, so where you are now is where you will...

I have been commenting positively on ABS balls for quite some time now. A few points: It is quite likely this Stiga ABS ball is made in the same factory as DHS D40+. DHS made the Stiga branded celluloid balls. It iis also possible that they now get their balls from Double Fish, who make an...

It takes time for people to make fakes and these balls just came out. The ones I bought from them play great.

I noticed the PLA team had Andro shirts.

Doing this to a Viscaria is a bit like ripping the wings off birds to see what makes them fly.

Please don't try this at home.

Carl, we can all agree that this makes forums great.

What about the mud wrestling Girlz video Carl? You deleted it from the other thread (for good reasons I have to admit) but it belongs here as an allegory of the battle between ZJK's fan(girls) and people who for whatever reason appreciate other players. For posterity. Crips and Bloods they are.

Funny how TT bots often choose female names. Maybe the idea is that we will imagine they are boty-licious. However, sentient contributors to our forum are a good thing usually. In any case, regarding Stiga QC, we are all aware of their distinguished history in the sport -- I grew up playing...

I have been playing for decades and this is the first I have heard of them.

Let me add that to what Next Level wrote in more forceful terms. Avoid the Ma Long balls, they are terrible. They are made of cellulose acetate, they are fragile, not round, with weird bounce and ironically, expensive. They were introduced in about 2014. The recently introduced Ding Ning...

Control is one of those many terms that is bandied about in our sport, like dwell time, and spin sensitivity (and even spin) that don't mean as much as they seem to, or they are inaccurate descriptions of a sensory impression. The problem is that there is no rigorous way of measuring any of it...

Had me worried.

I have no memory of writing that. It must be fake news.

Yes, I hope they play abroad soon. Until then.....

The one thing I can say about performance tapering is that this certainly has not been my experience, rather it got better with time and seems to be immortal.

Is XX hurt or is there some other known reason he won't play?
