  1. Qatar Open 2018

    Well you see this is the problem, at the moment a European player mindset, specially in big competitions, is to try to compete only against other European players and if there is a lost against a Chinese player, one feels excused - because it was "a Chinese player". Right now China is like a...
  2. Qatar Open 2018

    Yep, yep ... true. Actually I was thinking about creating a thread, that top European players should practice together on a regular basis. China does it all the time and Europe is behind on that matter. How are we going to challenge those dominant players if we don't work together?
  3. Qatar Open 2018

    "the question is what his path to getting those skills is" - could you explain ?
  4. Qatar Open 2018

    Going back to the final, I think Hugo didn't play bad at all. He wasn't destroyed whatsoever although 4:0 sounds like it. But no, as Ping fun pointed out, there was some slight hesitation on short fh - true, some missed bananas, some overkills ... FZD was just more sure of himself towards the...
  5. Qatar Open 2018

    Exactly ... ML because of his weaker bh at that time, could not "establish an advantage" over WH. FZD and LP I did not study, but FZD has the most powerful bh close to the table in today's tt. This certainly helps him to establish an advantage ...
  6. Qatar Open 2018

    I agree ML, FZD and XX (maybe also Dima) are the real deal! My thoughts are, that if one wants to make a breakthrough, he needs to have an exceptional bh. Do you remember those semi finals between Wang Hao and Ma Long 2011 - 2012. Ma was pinned by WH on the bh side, could not switch to his...
  7. Cutting the rubber

    : )) I use scissors too, but I like to leave like 1mm of the rubber, sticking out of the edge of the blade. Just gives me more confidence during a play.
  8. Cutting the rubber

    Oh it's really simple, I just use the laser cutting machine placed inside a vacuum box. First, of course you need to do the 3d scan of the blade and uploads it. Tesla/SpaceX AI optimizes the cut and you are all set. Then just place the wood into the thing, press the powers and plasmas does the...
  9. Qatar Open 2018

    Still repeat, it is at least 6 years to early for such statements. We are still looking at the 14 years old wonder! It's just unbelievable how we can easily get used to things, even if they are simply amazing ...

    14 year old kid - retire ... oh so funny ...
  11. Qatar Open 2018

    ... if he wins with FZD, I'm going to frame the picture! :D
  12. Qatar Open 2018

    Good thing I had a picture with Hugo earlier in 2017 ... now it's going to be tough to get ... : )))
  13. What should i replace my sriver with

    Nothing. just wait till May and you'll probably be able to boost those - legally. They'll be just fine then. ;)
  14. Looking for help choosing new blade in off- region

    ... funny business is going on with those Primoracs, I must say. This is the habit of mine and people usually ask me about it : ) It is because when my fingers sweat during the game, they tend to slip on those plastic logos. I loose the grip in this area. This is why. I don't see too many...
  15. Looking for help choosing new blade in off- region

    This is what I was talking about:
  16. Looking for help choosing new blade in off- region

    Hah ... looks like my JP. Yous sure it has no JTTAA on the bottom of the handle? Well it should have serial number (no sure which side).
  17. Jan Ove Waldner vs Anna Carin Ahlquist | Wheelchair match

    Only when you serve, the ball can not cross the side edges of the table on the opponent's side. It has to leave through the end edge. I think the rest all is the same ...
  18. Jan Ove Waldner vs Anna Carin Ahlquist | Wheelchair match

    Dramatically filmed and a very good idea. I actually lost with the wheelchair Paraolympian, while standing myself ... really good player.
  19. Booster legalization proposed

    Sorry Guys, "boosters have no VOC's" or they have "VOC controls" ?
  20. Booster legalization proposed

    If not a joke, than Yes - seems reasonable. "[...] introduction of the VOC controls". VOC controls?
