Sure blind charity is not wise and not even good ... but sarcasm should be used very carefully ... "good players can lose to lesser players" - well I assume by "a good" player you mean technically accomplished, tactically smart, athletic ... but as you know there may be other factors, like being...

Guys guys guys ... Again and again ... NextLevel, why would you be so sarcastic ... ? ; ) Loopadoop, I know you want to save your case ... : ) but there's no need to. Shan Xiaona to the very recent years was consistently causing troubles to the top European women players, beating many of...

From Nauru's (or Poland ; ) perspective it's a one big wow ... !

Run, run away everybody ... ej ghost is coming ... !

Scotland and good news about Lightzy ... and it got me thinking ... so I've found this ... : ) https://youtu.be/MNuFcIRlwdc [Edit] Corrrrection to my previous post. The very hard and heavy ball was the "Ideal" brand ... Shields were super ...

... 1040 is quite early for the America ... ; ) @Carl keep the couch, floor and the Banda, they seem to go well together. Specially if the couch is like a family inheritance, say from your mother in law ... you don't want to go down the path of throwing such things away, do you ... ? ha ha ; )...

Looks as old as the floor and the bed frame in the background ... ;) What is it 80'ties, 90'ties ?

Yeah, essentially those 74 posts boils down to the 3 above ... I think it's a new record on the forum, how far can a 3 posts topic be elaborated by our experts ... ;) I'll save @Carl's list for myself and P1ngP0ng3r suggestion about 6-12 months period is really something to consider.

Top CNT destroyed like this by Ito ... must be, must be ... I feel for ZYL.

Thanks for the explanation @Carl. I had one eye on this quite interesting thread and it sort of caught me off the guard, how the things developed. TTD is the first forum I'm participating 'full time' and my experience was in the beginning, that posting is sometimes like trying to steer one of...

"It depends" is probably the right thing to say ... for sure soft sponges on soft blades would make it hard for you to control your attacks - there'll be no "bite". Sweden Extra is something I never had my hands on, but I used to try hard blades with say something soft and I could not be as...

I like when one of those 'beginner equipment' threads appear, just to see what happens next ... I think by now we all should probably have, a widely agreed list of 2-3 blades with 2-3 rubbers. But no ... on our forum we already have #50 posts and one casualty so far ... ;) Actually, to the OP...

Gardos, Freitas, Dima, Samara, Eckholm ...

Rubbers were not as 'sharp' as today ...

I have the impression, you guys are getting away too easily with this Vladi uniqueness ... ;) If one was to search throughout the Europe, he/she still would find many over 30 yo wo/men whose performance didn't dropped cause of the 40+ change ...

Yep, I always say it's better to be young, rich and beautiful ... ;)

My point was, if you can dictate the tempo off the table, like Vladi does with his bh, then you might not be a 'dying breed' at all ...

Many young players would like to be 'dying' like this ... 2018 - World Tour, Bulgarian Open, Panagyurishte (BUL) - Seniors - QF 2017 - World Tour Grand Finals, Astana (KAZ) - Seniors - Rnd of 16 2017 - World Tour, Australian Open, Gold Coast (AUS) - Seniors - Winner 2017 - World Tour, Hungarian...

How about Vladi Samsonov?

I would support this also analyzing my amateur scene. Those colleagues with shorter strokes do relatively much better now, while for people trying to play a spin oriented game it's an uphill battle sometimes. So would it be safe to say, that you don't have to be stronger physically, but you...
