  1. Lack of self-awareness when serving illegally

    Yeah I have similar experiences. In our league we have this guy everyone knows about, he serves right of his hand - almost no toss at all. So you tell him to toss higher - ok next serve he would toss like ~10 cm up, no more and the very next serve he goes back to his illegal routine again ...
  2. World Team Cup 2018

    Yeah ... : ) But other than opera, she does not compete professionally anymore, right? Would be too bad.
  3. World Team Cup 2018

    Yeah Michal I tried to point out that you were more referring to how tt is dominated by Asian players, rather than anything else. Btw, no problem with Asia domination - you guys deserve it! I just wish tt was as much popular in other parts of the world as it is in your countries ... : )
  4. World Team Cup 2018

    My congrats US Team an Jha (misread it ;)! Great control of the ball on both sides close to the table. I love this short-short game, keeping it tight and than attack with flip or close to the table spin. So much better to watch than these power punchers. Looking for more!
  5. World Team Cup 2018

    Yep, very versatile game. I see him for the first time live on big tournament and he really impresses. On par with WCT ... nice!
  6. World Team Cup 2018

    You are absolutely right Suga - Michal's comment was unfortunate, specially because Lilly and Amy were born in the US. Here'e a lesson to always use deep mind google ai super machine ... just to have a deeper and broader view. But to defend Michal a little I guess he was more referring to the...
  7. World Team Cup 2018

    Looks like rematch ... will the outcome be different than in 2016? I'm going for popcorn already : )
  8. Outer ALC blade with Koto-venner and Ayous core?

    Yeah, I would imagine - thanks for explanation ... but the host here likes to "hold it clean" so I'd rather not comment too much ... ; ) I'm also eager to know the outcome of the experiment.
  9. Question regarding net clamp - Rule

    Thanks for the rules Blackbird. So 2.10.1 should be read: "Unless the rally is a let, a player shall score a point if, after he or she has made a service or a return, the ball touches anything other than the net assembly before being struck by an opponent;" It seems to be describing the...
  10. Looking for one ticket for World Team Cup (only Sunday)

    Ha ha Makelele ... I went through this thread a little and looks like nobody here cares about your ticket - trust me ... ; ) Well to give you some hope I had a similar problem 2012 in Dortmund WTTTC. I was missing like at least 2 tickets for the Sunday. Friday and Saturday I was checking with...
  11. Question regarding net clamp - Rule

    Yes. I won't be able to quote the rule here, but from watching many matches with Adam Bobrow's commentary, he always emphasizes that the net clamp is just treated as part of the net itself. Sorry for your bad luck anyway ... it was a shameful point to score ... ; )
  12. World Team Cup 2018

    Do they have groups already?
  13. Outer ALC blade with Koto-venner and Ayous core?

    Sure, all yours.
  14. Outer ALC blade with Koto-venner and Ayous core?

    ah sorry ok - "Stiga Clipper, Carbonado etc. " ... sure. Just curious, are those "Ayous-Ayous-Ayous" or something else? Actually I wonder what would be the difference between i.e. "Koto-Carbon-Ayous-Ayous-Ayous-Carbon-Koto" and just "Koto-Carbon-Ayous-Carbon-Koto".
  15. Outer ALC blade with Koto-venner and Ayous core?

    No need to get angry. I know your main idea was to move carbon outside - nothing wrong with that. It's just this three layers of the same wood part caught my attention. I don't remember such structure in any blade - or maybe I'm wrong?
  16. Outer ALC blade with Koto-venner and Ayous core?

    "Ayous-Ayous-Ayous" Do you think it makes any sense? : )
  17. Question about the rubber rules

    Ah thanks : ) But I think for the cpen rpb one would still use the 2.4.4 rule rather than 2.4.7.1 - don't you think? I don't know if this rubber could be reused by a shakehander. There are no special rules for rpb, are there?
  18. Question about the rubber rules

    Sorry to ask, what you mean by "cpen rpb"?
  19. Best tensor rubber's so far

    ... and who has the best tensor-tensioned beer in Bavaria now ... ? ; )
