not really, he could be a mature player who is fine tuning his equipment for optimal performance.

Not so much age, but when you become known, people have a chance to prepare specifically for you.

Back to earth so far for Pavade...

Moregardh backhand and serve return still letting him down. Losing a very winnable match has to be the last straw. I suspect there will be some internal discussion about his level of commitment.

You can fix this with technical adjustments. Not necessary to change rubber.

It's the Europe top 16 points. And he is still a good player, regardless od the losses and the popular sentiment, he is just putting pressure on himself to get better and it hasn't worked out (yet).

The players who beat him have identifiable pedigree, I don't agree that he has lost to a lot of players he should have beaten. He has lost yo a lot of dangerous floaters but while Shinozuka is a dangerous floater, I think Truls has a better chance in this draw than he had against people like...

I don't really agree, at a certain point you need to beat players you are supposed to beat and none of his opponents have high risk games IMHO even if Shinozuka has seen better days.

I hear you, please let us not go down the route of the TT-Engineer-Physics expert. One notorious expert is already one too many. I get the thrust of what you are saying and agree with it, the devil is always in the details. But would be interested in how illuminating Lazer can be.

Okay - it would be nice to know how people dummy loop then. The question for most people is not whether they have the same speed, but whether it is possible to create curved arcs that look similar to spinny balls when the stroke is not a spinny stroke and what causes that, is it more spin or...

So you are saying that a no spin ball (dummy loop, no spin serve, no spin chop) cannot have the flight trajectory of a spinny ball (slow spinny loop, backspin serve, spinny chop)? Or that a spinny ball(topspin drive) cannot have the flight trajectory of a no spin ball (smash)?

I prefer to speak of exit angle under specific circumstances instead of throw. One of the things that an old article on tenergy which is no longer available on the butterfly website made clear was thar the exit angle of T05 was higher than T80 which was also higher than T64. So when blocking...

People who play with Hurricane or Skyline can also get high arcs, I am a high arc looper nowadays so I get high arcs with just about anything. And there was a time I was more into low arcs, even when I used T05, I was notorious for playing drives that didn't bounce upwards. Of course my...

Truls finally in a winnable tournament. Anything less than a semi-final will be a massive choke job.

That is how I feel about H3 as well, though the Blue Sponge gives you a little extra spin. And I don't boost.

Everyone does this differently, we likely have to see him hit the ball to see what he really means and whether we agree with him or not.

Yes, I agree, cheap traditional setups are okay for adults that have no desire to train. But this is true in just about any serious sport, high quality equipment has to be mastered and does not make the player. If you aren't putting in the work, equipment doesn't really matter. If you are...

@greenbeanmachine, Pip configurations, topsheet material which influences elasticity and grip as well as pip configuration harmonizing wirh sponge, sponge hardness, sponge compressibility/elasticity all work together to give a rubber its playing characteristics. What a rubber does varies...

Yeah, such matches don't teach you much. That Tony managed to even notice you hit your backhand to the middle of the table which means you aren't catching the left side of the ball is why he is a serious coach and I play one on the internet. Obviously you aren't going to become a very physical...
