Try Fastarc C-1 first.

They are not so different that if one gets used to them the playing level will change. Maybe one may feel happier playing with limba or Koto and that may affect certain things. And one may feel that one has too much or too little vibration. But I have played with all 3 and i usually beat the...

I prefer the 190 obviously but I really don't know why. I think the feeling for me is better - not sure it is softer. I would need to try a Boll ALC with similar rubber to be sure.

Hayata stumbles again...

Because he sees no future for her like he sees no future for Ishikawa.

Paradoxically, Qiang Zhang is probably the one player that zeio dislikes as much as Ishikawa.

Yeah you should make it. Unfortunately I lost my camera on Saturday but I played one of our classic "backspin and no spin serves" to the pips matches. Now I have to work on sidespin serves.

So I played the NA Teams on Thanksgiving weekend. Travelled to the tournament with my wife in Thanksgivinf day, ate at a restaurant, checked into the hotel and went down to check in the team and myself. Usually I expect to have fun table tennis and crappy logistics. I spent over an hour in a...

If you can, play one game to 11 or a match with a friend (or even a random opponent) while warming up at the tournament. It puts your mind in a competitive state and it is important to be there already and not have to play a real match to activate that. I find that my brain processes TT much...

I don't understand how I can find a blade I love too soft.

If they had played Haruna next to Nagasaki and Kihara, they would have won tthe teams as well.

I just saw that Haruna beat Xunyao 4-0. The JNT junior coaches cost the girls the title.

Many left handed TT players are really righthanded and only play TT with their left hand. Even in tennis. Nadal is a famous example...

Played my last prep league in anticipation of the NA Teams on Tuesday night. I have probably played a little too much but it has been fun. My knees and body are sore as hell. My shoulder is probably the worst. But all in all, I am pretty close to my 2100 peak in late 2016 and early 2017...

Looks like the China Japan semi was the real final. I like Feng a lot, but his serve and return game is not matching up and he is Taipei's best player.

I get that part but I don't see why the coach prioritized winning the first match over putting his best player in the power slot. You want your best player to play at least two matches if it goes beyond 3 and he has failed that.

Japan was clearly relying on Nagasaki to win 2 and Kihara to win the 3rd match. Not sure why they went with Idesa was a over Haruna. Did they think that Xunyao Shi would have fixed her issues vs Haruna by this match?

Is Idesawa using pips on both sides? Anyone know her equipment?

The matches were all close so it figures. Sone did a fantastic job vs Liu. I guess part of the reason the Chinese team seemed younger in my head was that they had a younger #2 while Japan puts its youth at #3. I also tend to forget how old Liu is.

Yeah. Moreover, Togami and Uda will have lower ratings for not playing the junior circuit, which is why the Japanese team had to play the prelims. But the same applies to Xu Yingbin. Other than Yingbin, this is a slightly younger Chinese squad and the Japanese had a good chance to pull it out.
