4-min edit, changing spin on the pendulum serve, some condensed tips.

ITTF are not clueless, when all of the pro rubbers have significant variance from the commercial versions they will be very aware that it's not a manufacturing variance. I do wonder whether ITTF intend to force more rubber approvals from brands to collect more fees.

If the topsheet and sponge has to be certified together this means that all players using modified sponge hardnesses then have to what, get ittf approval for a whole new rubber? What if a player is using a 52.5 degree sponge instead of a commercial 50 degree for example. Are the limitations on...

And how will they look at the back side of the sponge layer to know it has this information?

153 vs 175 for a place in the last 64, meanwhile Harimoto plays Lim and Pitchford lands Lin Shidong 🥲

I've been using Dynaryz ZGX on my forehand for the last couple of years

Don't mess with The Bridge :P

Why would I? haha, probably the same reason my mother doesn't have a New Zealand accent yet after 30 years :P

Adding another segment beyond my 4 minute edits, these ones are 2 minute tips. I'm focusing on catering for the awful attention spans of people these days, so trying to cram small observations and focus areas into much shorter videos. I'll leave all the long editing work for TTD team haha

No he isn't

Complicated and temporary. We had a small turnaround window after he signed and sent him some rubbers, but the time it takes to produce a larger order is a little bit longer and unfortunately the rubber arrived too late before the tournament. Wasn’t within our control, rest assured he will be...

Banging out my 4 minute edits :D Finally home for some weekends in a row now hopefully so will get this project moving and done soon!

I don't agree, if 10-15 players collectively decided not to play in major events, it would have a significant impact on the tournament and particularly in regional markets. Imagine if there was a Champions event in Germany for example, and all of the German players boycotted. This is purely...

This is not going to hit anywhere near as well as Craig Bryant's but I thought i'd throw it out there anyway :P

why thank you! :)

If they are all on the same page and are significantly unhappy with things they can boycott events. Also WTT seems to seriously dislike players making any critiques publicly and on social media, if the players are meeting together and working together then it is much more compelling that one or...

When I was on the ITTF Athletes Commission my most clear opinion was that any athletes union or commission should operative independently of the ittf group umbrella in order to have any influence and to be independently funded and free from conflicts of interest. This is a good move for the...

Some help for anyone who needs it with their short serves :)

My wonder is whether he handed himself into criminal prosecutors. The most recent update said he was banned from competition for 6 months so wouldn't really be able to play anything official in Japan, is that his punishment? Or will he be awaiting some kind of official case also?

Thrilled for Hugo, more than anything i’m happy to see a world cup title mean so much to an athlete. The Chinese players are great but they are expected to win, and when they do it’s usually a light smile on the podium and a selfie. Hugo’s post match interview was all feels, the man really felt...
