You just hating cos they beat Hong Kong China in XD ...

She only won because Miwa didn't show up... Just trolling you, congrats to Hina...

Before the match, I thought Uda was playing at a level where he could beat Hugo and I thought maybe the crowd might gove Hugo a boost. I thought the first game might have shown I was reading too much into Uda but the rest of the match did not. And yes, Hugo in Brazil is understandably...

It's ultimately one event. We still need to see more. That said, i was pleasantly impressed with how he played throughout thr event and saw evidence of a new level.but I hope he can maintain it.

Uda has been playing really well. And so has Hugo up to this point. I think putting it on Hugo's play especially after the first game is not fair to Uda.

At least my eyes did not deceive, but maybe Mount Calderano in Brazil was just a bit much. I hope Uda can keep this form, it will make the JNT much more interesting going forward.

While these things inevitably get more expensive, if we cant afford 1.99 for something we really believe we enjoy, TT will die a natural death. If WTT and local leagues could consolidate into a $10 per month streaming service, I would be all for it simply because without money, the sport...

A lot of it is really about trying and seeing what works. As long as you are willing to adapt, and by adapt ultimately I mean go through the pains of playing with the rubber and adapting your technique, the switch is not as ceazy as it seems. You also have a reasonable blade. All that said...

Uda has looked pretty sharp in his wins, if he can climb Mount Calderano (and in Brazil no less), it would legitimately signal a different level. But his last two matches have been absolutely dominant, like amazing consistency, power and precision from both sides of the racket.

Higher chance sure. How much higher i don't know, Hayata is usually impervious to choppers as well when her form is right.

The opposition did try. It was just too hard. Even Lily got two games, if you had told me that before the match I would have lost money betting against you.

As @Matteones says, playing level is very important in this calculation as it defines your swing speed range and the range of spin you typically face. Relative to my level, I have used harder sponges because I tend to crash into the ball with a desire to topspin all the time, even on drives...

Spinsight now exists for a more objective perspective on this. When you say spinny, do you mean absolute revs per second or do you mean the ration of revs per second to linear speed? And of course there is also the question if in what zone of speed and spin do you generally play in. I find...

I think Hugo has a tough draw but if he plays the way he did vs Andre, the tournament is already over.

The thread honestly wasn't that off-topic, the thread starter should have complained much more if he felt it was. And in all honesty. the SP blade is not on the market yet. The thread would be largely dead. That said, SP's brother is my current coach, maybe I will ask him about it if I...

No, the reason why no one ever tried this is not about the rules, trust me, it is like saying no one ever tried a handle return because of the rules (in fact, we see the Dane use it for fun). Rules do not change the laws of physics, try to rally with your hand against a player using a regular...

The focus (and ball reaction) with the new plastic ball is different.

That's the main reason I don't use MX-P - the booster smell makes it clear that its performance curve is tied to how long that lasts and for me the drop off when it leaves is significant. I prefer long lasting rubber to short periods of high performance given my budget and approach.

That's a legitimate point of view for sure.
