Well I went through few last matches of Timo on youtube (e.g. these from Mens World Cup) and although he was smashing several times no sign of twiddling. So I would be still very grateful for some video reference. It looks very unlikely that PRO is twiddling only in very few cases, especially...

Wonderful. Which rubbers you use right now, on what blade and how you like it?

Tibhar Startus Power Wood goes well with wide range of rubbers. Many of them you could call "the best for looping and control at the table". So the best answer would come from your own history: what rubbers have you used on Tibhar Stratus Power Wood so far? Why you want to change them? Have you...

I don't remember Timo twiddling, any video of that? His Tenergy rubbers should be basically equal for smashing so I don't see any reason for twiddling... for players with boosted Hurricane on FH (like whole men CNT) it's different story but they are used to twiddle in such cases and they do it...

One part of the mystery I'm trying to understand is following: why would be in Sriver/Bryce era the red/black difference unseen (or rather if seen then all European and JP players were using red on FH as far as I know) and then suddenly it changed within few months? Story about Chinese tacky...

Well I do respect Em in some posts but this brings no evidence. Why all Chinese brands use the same red and black pigment but all other factories use different so "dying" process of JPN and EUR rubbers is basically equal for both colors (as Em states)? Why would then people like Timo care which...

Apropos where is this urban legend about red topsheet being worse/dying faster coming from? Any real data, source?

I believe it is daylight saving time in EU still... any internet time keeper will tell ypu when is 4PM in Paris today;)

4PM local time (Paris, GMT+2), 2 and half hour from now.

My two cents: when I was young I wasn't really an attacker, I mostly won the games by forcing the opponents to errors by chop/push short/long variations. However I could never keep up with the best kids when playing such passive game and when coming to adult age I left the game, partially...

...but still not enough:(

Sorry, you are right. Interestingly I felt them always as clones of crappy balls such as Stiga Optimum or DHS 40+: they break almost every second match. Definitely not like Xushaofa or other brands from Kingnik factory. But I haven't paid enough attention that Flash has no seam, my fault.

Stay with all-wood for some time. I was playing with YSE last season, then went to Tibhar Stratus Powerwood after season and in summer I was trying different innerlayer ALC blades but went back to Tibhar SPW. Transition from YSE is pretty straight forward (especially if you keep the same...

No, Kingnik are seamless (XSF seamless are one of brands coming out of Kingnik factory) while Joola Flash are 1st generation DHS plastic balls ("cell-free") which break easily.

The video shows big part of it, however there is still some propaganda BS like always. What kind of innovation and how they can measure it in percentage?:) If I discover new weird serve style or very unusual grip in the lowest league somewhere in Transilvania does it count as innovation and do...

I guess the main problem is that IF AL is discontinued and only small series was produced. To be hones it's one of the best blades I've ever plaid with, amazing control and sweet spot. Probably just a strong favor of AL with Carbon or other composite materials (or maybe too costly pure AL...

I'm afraid you cannot compare 16-y-o Serena to Serena in top form and strength. But I still agree that any top10 woman cannot beat top100 men in Tennis (best of 3 sets). And the same in TT, I've seen top girls on national level myself in our club and they never beaten any men playing first two...

Lupulesku lost 9:11 in 7th (with the edge ball) and threw the racket, see 01:02:06 here: https://www.laola1.tv/en-int/video/ws-lupulesku-izabela-srb-kucerova-aneta-cze-len

My friends in club play with Tibhar Evolution series rubbers (mostly MX-S and EL-S) and they tend to "die" suddenly after 3-4 months of intense usage (3-4 sessions a week). It becomes dull like old Sriver and need to be replaced. Latest batch they got this summer went dull after less then 2...

(and AERO series comes tzpically discounted down to 20-30EUR range, very good price if you want just to experiment)
