Which means it is boosted and will lose its main playable features after 2 months.

It is a lesson for everyone to learn at every level. You can't out speed the faster athlete, you need to use quality and variation. It is good that you wanted to win enough that you listened. That is how we all learn the hard way.

I think her back issues made training and playing less enjoyable. I think if she were injury free in a way that allowed her to continue to maintain/improve, she might have stayed on. But pain makes you question everything, especially since she had achieved so much.

how?

I think Korea is lucky not to draw Japan or any other dangerous teams, I suspect they are happy with their current draw. Gives them a path to bronze.

Just like that, the draws have ruined quite a few SI picks lol.

Korean men got effed. You have to pay me to believe that France didn't rig the draw lol to get a somewhat comfortable bronze... Japan and Chinese Taipei got great draws, one of them will be lucky and the other will be effed and complain, but they are currently close to 50-50 vs each other.

Harimoto got effed. Lebrun and Calderano have draws worthy of their seedings, though LYJ and JWJ and dangerous, but Calderano and Lebrun have good records against them and should be fine unless something changes - the other rounds will be of interest as well.

Don't get me.wrong, Korbel as far as I know uses his blade with boosted Tenergy 80 or Dignics 80 so I am not saying what I am saying is impossible. But there is a really good video by Tt11 where a Hungarian Pro Daniel Kosiba plays TT11 co-owner Sergei Petrov, who is somewhere between 2400 ‐...

Cracking the forehand isn't everything. When the ball comes back, how easy is it to borrow the incoming pace to hit another winner or to block the ball down the line for a winner? Do you have to be in perfect position? Can you reach and do it? How much power do you have to add to the ball...

Can't argue with results, I leave the pure and abstract technical arguments to the CNT fanboys.

Sounds like what you are calling high elbow is what most coaches would consider the proper elbow placement for the backhand topspin.

I must not understand what a high elbow is, I have never looked any of these guys and thought "high elbow".

Usually high elbow means that your racket is going to have upward motion that might be excessive. I usually think of high elbow as elbow above the racket, not so much as elbow being absolutely high. I prefer generally to feel as if the elbow is the lowest point in my arm on my strokes both...

Lots of training in Germany before heading to Paris...

I struggle to control the ball with fast tensors on serve return especially, I prefer sticky rubbers/hybrids so a YSE is way too slow to combat the rebound. But if you feel you can play all your strokes that is fine. In fact, the blade I use right now is outer ALC hinoki and I would have...

So I got to play with Skyline 3 BS yesterday. I really couldn't tell the difference vs OS. But I didn't do any real tests, I played mostly unfamiliar opponents using the BS without seeing a significant drop in consistency. But now I am definitely set on my blade and Skyline TG3 on forehand...

Plays better for you... I used to be into slower blades but quick blocking and rallying became more critical and spin was just not as effective in getting errors with the newer balls. So I looked for a balance more towards speed instead of pure spin. And I played with the YSE for a while, the...

You are not the first person I know to bring up something like this. One person I know who argued the same thing says it comes from how the penhold backhand is played. Another said it is just another way of using the body to power the backhand. Of course in the search for technique that is...
