Sorry, but from my knowledge this is not accurate, so let's please stick to the facts. Bitzigeio didn't get suspended by the German Association. It was his own personal decision, since he felt a lot of backstabbing from his team, many people say most of the controverse was with Papa Solja...

This was the first thing that came to my mind while reading your post. [Emoji2]

Eduardo, this doesn't necessarily have to be the case. I've developed a pain in the elbow about 18 months ago. My usual doctor gave me painkillers but after a couple of weeks nothing happened nothing got better. He also told me to massage the area and even tried to get rid of the inflammation...

No need to explain yourself. If you like it then good for you Actually it even gets a bit exhausting, 'cause just like those reappearing EJ-threads, posts like yours keep also reappering every year after the WPCC. And usually then someone jumps in and starts pointing out that this is a tt-forum...

Yes, the tackiness will wear off much quicker. Some people like to reduce the tack and don't use protective covers though.

Sure, if you want the tackiness to remain long, but clean off the collected dust before.

There are a few things one can do. The main thing is to make 'em feel uncomfortable. Give them balls they don't like, like keepin it short (at least double bounce). Play to the ellbow or into their body and then change to wide angles so they are forced to stay on their toes. All that being...

unforgettable... Man, funny how time flies. [Emoji2] The delusional level must have been far above 9000. Usually when somebody acts up like that, there is just one correct answer to give. [Emoji23] The German forum tt-news.de had the same problem. Guys like Schlager used to post there and...

Maybe a lot but NOT all. [Emoji6] And I must say that I really enjoy diversity. In real life there is no one-size-fits-all. What is good for the goose doesn't necessarily have to be good for the ganter. Besides I think the world is big enough for both versions of the sport to coexist. Don't ya...

Sounds like communism to me. On a more serious note, i don't think anybody wants all TT companies to go bankrupt.

Over here it is understood as basically the difference between classic defense where players chop back everything thrown at them and modern defense where players counterattack with their fh. Classic defenders hardly attack. Modern defense got more popular after introduction of the 40mm balls.

That vid you've posted was too good. But did you notice that there were a few mistakes in the subtitles somewhere in the middle around 1:30? That was funny too. [Emoji2] You're right though, everyone can get affected. And not everyone is aware of his/her imperfections that we all carry along.

I guess it depends on how you see it, but for me it takes much longer to spread on glue, wait until it's dry again, then spread on another layer and wait again and so on until the glue layer is thick enough to remove it easily. Using thick glue like Finezip might make it easier to create thick...

Some very nice footage. Stuff like this should be posted far more often. Thanks for sharing. I need to show this to a teammate.

I have a Darker Hinoki carbon with a kiri core which is really nice but quite pricey.

She's right. It really is. By accident I found out a good way to remove old glue residue. All you need is to pour a few drops of oil onto the sponge and wait a minute to let it sink in and do its work. Then start rubbing your thumb on that area and after a few seconds the glue will be coming...

Hmmmm. You might have a point, but the artist (a real blade magician) who repaired a blade for me told me a trick: he uses shellac and that stuff works like a charm. It doesn't stiffen the blade, it doesn't really harden your blade, actually it doesn't change the blade's properties at all...

Exactly.... with little exceptions. That's also a reason why people love the old STIGA blades so much (speaking of the OG, not meaning the OSPalatinus, which are also very good and popular) The feeling these old blades provide is unrivaled. The exception for this long drying process is a new...

That came surprisingly unexpected. [Emoji15]

As someone else already pointed out, boosting is allowed as long as the factory does it. It's only illegal if a player does it himself. This tells a lot how totally shizophrenic this whole boosting discussion is IMHO. Some players have used plant based oils, like citric oils, tea tree oil...
