3 ok ... sure, but 6? ;) I'm willing to think just as Airoc wrote "Hard, medium, soft and one substitute for each?". Well it was almost proved with Timo's vlog.

Batra Manika is becoming more frequent player in the main event. She is more and more noticeable. It will be a clash of styles against Georgina.

... than I would argue that he is a special kind of lefty ... ; )

Good sportsmanship, I'll give him that. But it was a clear side ... I don't know how Alexander could not have seen it? Anyways Dyjas has problem winning the end game, he had 10:5 or 6 while leading 2:1 ...

Qiu Dang 4 - 1 Tiago Apolonia. Told you Qiu was dangerous.

Thanks for defending my EJ @langel. Yes, in my "career" I had setups that were an immediate step up - sort of. But overall @Lula is right, it is insane. It happens more often to me, when there is a league match pressure and I try to find an immediate solution, mainly because I do not have too...

Ok, so about my level of practice time, but you might have a more advanced/pro history? One aspect I can understand this 6 blades case, is that from my experience if I have a new setup, then pretty much after one training session, I can play with it on my regular level - of course the setup can...

Interesting. To be honest I never heard about a similar approach either. How often do you practice @langel? I mean I play in this regional league and for the last ten matches I had like 3 or 4 different blades and setups - EJ clinic case ;) but I'm an amateur, so I have the privilege to fool...

Yeah, Timo would be a huge hit if posted to the "share your racket photo" thread ... ha ha ;)

There was a discussion not too long ago. Someone was explaining how sponge thickness might differ a little for the same type, say 2.1, thus the weight. Not sure if this is the case of course. But it wouldn't be too hard to imagine that Timo gets say 2.10 to 2.12 range of sponges purposefully ...

New rubbers (Dignics - if it's true) most likely ... just speculating.

No reasonable explanations comes to my mind either : ) Can't find a use case. Maybe if Timo was testing different rubber combinations ... or he has this six for tests and then chooses 2 or 3 finally ... you know on his level every TB ALC has a different "sublime feel flavor" probably.

Nice one for Marek Badowski, my country man. He managed to beat Walker Samuel 4:3. Speaking about the "big names", just to get to the main event he still needs to beat Reitspies David, then eventually (of course) either Emmanuel Lebesson (European Champ 16') or Yan An .. :) I would also mention...

Just teasing of course. Lin Gaoyuan might be added too, although he's lost last time to Harimoto. There are reasons lefties might be little harder for him, agree.

Weird to say it, but since there's no Harimoto, Ma could actually have a chance ... ;)

The preliminary round is already interesting and full of big names. Nice to see Patrick Baum back on tour.

I'm guessing ttd opportunity for meetups was used many times already ... : )

.. so I'm pretty much European from Poland, don't mind the Nauru colors : ) On a more serious note, what I'd like to say is I really like and appreciate your thread Der and the way you use the opportunity to get with the ttd forumers, send some pics, show real people behind our nick names...

Thanks, didn't know about that. Maybe there will be time to talk more, but let's not hijack Der's Batmobile for the moment ... ;)

"Xiom island" ? Well I did picked'em quite unconsciously, but later I've found they have their problems ... true. But the perspective of living on this lonely island in middle of the ocean was quite fascinating ... : )
