Don definitely needs help - he has a great voice but he doesn't really understand the sport.

A great match - both players fought till the very end.

The easy upset in the next round is JWJ over KN. Close second is WCT over MF. I can barely see JYS over HC but HC is a beast usually. The rest are all straightforward since LP lost to DO.

Quadri and Kanak go home - not a good day for my TT countries...

Thanks, Matt. How can you tell it is Rhyzer and not some other Joola rubber?

I think with the new plastic ball, OFF- is now ALL+ and many OFF are now what OFF- used to be. Only use an old ALL+ if you are too used to it or you don't play topspin offense as a priority. Tacky or spinnier rubbers can slow the blade down. Stiga Nostalgic series, Buttefly Korbel, Butterfly...

China only gets two players, and they already have the World Champion and the Asian Cup champion.

What happened to Boll? Didn't want to travel during the pandemic?

Usually it doesn't make a difference what to use. You have to adapt to it and in doing so become a better player. It is almost never the equipment itself that causes this. It is almost always your training hours.

Hahaha - it is a head heavy blade so 108g is a lot. But when you look at the vibration, which is a measure of its feeling, it is not an OFF+ blade. When you look at the speed, it is, but it isn't that much faster than an SZLC blade and this is with much more feeling. To me, it is no longer an...

I have fallen in love (again) with the Mazunov. Getting thr lightest one you can find is a good idea. Will do a video review sometime.

Body is okay. Nothing new. Me I topspin and brush a lot, so as long as the ball holds and the rubber is good, arc is not a big deal. For hitting, I can see it being different. Usually I get plenty of arc with Mazunov.

Did you use it with celluloid or plastic ball? For me the main issue is head heaviness but other than that, it is easier for me to use than most fast carbon blades, even a Viscaria. And because I can't move well, the blocking is very important.

I very much disagree but equipment is a personal thing. A Mazunov isn't that fast anymore compared to what most people use and it blocks really well.

Thanks, guys. Thinking of going back to a Mazunov with medium rubbers. I now play twice a week on most weeks, sometimes only once, and I can't maintain the effort level required to spin consistently with sticky hard rubbers.

Has anyone ever experienced a change in TT situation that led to their training hours going down and a realization that what they used was too hard for them to use and that they had to go to something more controllable that didn't need as many hours to master?

I thought TTlondon2012 produced most of the videos for TTBL?

Nah. Zjk's technique IMO is not as good as these guys. ML and FZD are the pinnacle of what they do based on how they drive the body into the ball. ZJK was not at their level even though he was great for what he did with the old ball. And of course this is the opinion of an amateur in the...

The Hurricane they use is spinnier than Dignics. The new plastic balls are just easier to block in general. To me the match was too close for any meaningful changes. It just feels good to see Ma Long close to his peak again.
