Hi, long time no see. This ultra offensive game does no serves well for Jike ... looking like a defeat. 0:2, 8:10. Although Jike is known for his come backs ...

I on the other hand, very much like Adam's excitement, I think what he adds the most is the fans' perspective, also he makes those elite players more human like and within your reach ...

何てことだ ! : )

The decision must have been consulted with other federations, right? "Luckily" Japan won the duel, by if it was the other way, there might have been some controversy ...

Next I imagine will be Germany and Japan (just my predictions) merging together in the semis before the final with China ... ; ))

Yep Carl thanks for your kind words about the Primorac ; ) To the OP - I started playing (with Primorac), about 9-10 years ago, recreationally "practicing" twice a week reguraly, than went through several different blades ending up for a while with TB ALC (Omega V Asia rubbers) and finally I...

Yeah, I've made emotional comment before, because it is always nice to see people or countries, for that matter, overcomming what separates them ... But the more I think about it and read your comments, the more I see how risky it was on the ITTF's part. Such special events should really leave...

I was just wondering what happened to the matchup ; ) hah ... intersting. Awkward for the competition, but quite special in terms of "ping pong diplomacy". I support this one, shows that table tennis community cares about something more than just simple competition.

I hereby - the knight of the round ping table - do solemnly declared that Miss Andrea I mentioned before, is the prettiest woman I ever saw under the sun or any other source of light - be there day or night, north or south! Whoever dares to claim otherwise will have my metal glove thrown at him...

You guys know nothing ... it is Andrea Todorovic who is the prettiest ... just have a look. https://www.google.pl/search?q=andrea+todorovic&rlz=1C1TSND_enPL666&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjowt7B6rDaAhUBW8AKHfAOCLMQ_AUICigB&biw=1858&bih=1014#imgrc=K5O-BpPV3bDa8M:

Powaga? Wow didn't know it. I was watching the match, but started a bit later - it was Zhou Xintong who was using the rubber, wasn't she? I'm not an umpire, but I think, he should not allow the player to use the racket right? No problem playing a match, but with a different racket. If...

What happened at 5:01 of the above (sets 2:1, points 1:0)? Seem to be Fan's point on 1:1, but it went to Harimoto.

Not at all, quality is good. Just it is not as thin as Primo (thick blade generally) so has less feel for touch play and short pushes over the net.

Hi, head size is same as Primorac or TB ALC (I just took a look), normal. Handle nice. Don't know Appergren, but I imagine safer bet would be Primo ... bites the ball better I think. At least this is what I use. Alvaro turned out to be not my cup of tea. But, why not.

I've got Gewo Alvaro Robles OFF-. Rather medium soft blade - works better with harder sponges. Bit faster than Primorac. Good feeling (not too sharp, softish rather), little less vibrations as compared to Priomrac. Probably medium flex. Ball tends to re-bounce ... don't know how to describe it...

It would be interesting to see how those percentages differ for important points. I mean statistics for points scored in the beginning or in the middle of a set, versus statistics for points scored since say 9-9 and up. Do you think there would be a difference?

Yep, learned last 3 or so comments - have to appreciate it guys. Thanks Atas. 70 - 75% in tennis hah. About those big servers, luckily they don't do well while receiving either, so the scores between guys like Raonic, Karlovic vs Roger, Djokobic usually are about 6-7(5), 6-7(5) ... ; )

Wow .. nice deduction!

I see ... heart is not a servant, as they say ...

You still have those? : )
