Obviously the blades are of different weights (it's interesting that you didn't weigh the blades without the rubbers). T19 is definitely much lighter than D09c, especially on an oversized head blade like the Korbel, and because most weight is felt in head heaviness more than total weight, the...

If someone ha told me that Deborah would be playing so well against Christina, I wouldn't have believed it.

Yeah. Some results here are puzzling.... but thr young are growing... even if it is against fellow youth as well...

USA! USA!

You are replying to a post written over 15 years ago. It makes me wonder whether you are bot or not. Please don't engage in necromancy for the sake of posting. Thank you.

How is @42andbackpains? Hope he is doing well. And how long do your typical rubbers last? Looking worn is one thing but absent of data, would you have noticed the 4 rps or whatever in your play? Even with the cell ball, everyone knew Tenergy played differently after the first 3 weeks, but...

The other thing that played A role in this was equipment speed, sticky rubber allowed you to put more into sitting balls and non-sticky less, but non-sticky also allowed you to get more with less effort in the celluloid era. IMHO, the nature of Dignics (not just 09c) is more hybrid than full...

No one hits the ball one way all the time, even the top Chinese and the top Europeans.

My prior posts sufficiently answered your questions, you have introduced nothing that wasn't already known. Even prior tournament results don't perfectly predict current tournament results.

Video not available.

It's a team match, you have to win the team match. For a doubles match, the thrust is largely the same. I could probably have listed Kuai Man, or Chen Xingtong, but the point remains that everyone is chasing China. Remember that when I wrote that, even Kihara had already beat Wang Yidi, so...

You tried to fix what wasn't broken. So you broke what wasn't fixing.

You went full tournament EJ during a single elimination. Never go full tournament EJ during a single elimination unless your prior blade has you playing like you just feel lucky - then you can be sure you would have lost no matter what you used lol.

Ever heard the story of the scorpion and the frog....

Nah, T-league matches are meaningless so there is no precedent, this is really a special transformation of Rin Mende beating a player like Nagasaki who made the Asian Cup Quarters. Nagasaki was just testing stuff in league and played for real this time. ;);)

So what did i predict that I should hold myself accountable for? You are going to claim i said something i never did like last time? You keep making up.stuff because no one has the patience to read your posts. If you can find me ever saying that Nagasaki could never defeat Wang Yidi feel...

That he is a good player and he needs to get a better backhand to have stable results? He is behind Harimoto, Matsushima, Togami and Shinozuka on the team order? Nothing ground breaking or inconsistent with his performance here. If he started consistently beating any of those guys, then I...

Finals were kind of anticlimactic - congrats to Uda and Mende... hopefully they won't have to warm the bench in London and will be fielded as appropriate.

Some of these Kawakami counterloops are like fairy tales... you dream of them but they are not supposed to be real...

I don't pretend to speak Chinese. I just try to hold people accountable for being imprecise about their predictions when they tend to remember only their moderate successes and forget their absolute failures. I make modest predictions like any smart person would. But unless I place a lot of...
