It puts into context who she played against. Otherwise, we would be puzzled by Wu Jiaji of the Dominican Republic beating Kanak Jha of the US despite being 648 ranked playing 33 ranked. Please, don't let your behavior stop us from making reasonable points using facts.

So I tested the Carbonado today and I liked it. Unforltunately, I didn't like the handle. Too thick. But it felt like a better Butterfly ALC blade. So I suspect if I manage to sand or change the handles, I might revisit at some point in the future. But for right now, I will be using the...

I didn't remember a slapping counter. There was more forearm rotation even on counters that I remember used to be flat. But.maybe I am just biased. I agree with you largely by the way.

I think his forehand vs Zhu Linfeng showed a marked improvement. He is beginning to spin rather than drive more consistently and this helps his recovery. Keeping the elbow close and using his back for stability.

Another reminder that good forehands are not the exclusive province of Asians.

I understand what you mean. Unfortunately, there is always a winner and a loser. I prefer this to the alternative.

There was a very good and obvious reason for doing so. Abe had just smashed 3 times and lost the point and was deflated. It was a good time to take a time out to make sure she didn't lose heart but the coach didn't. Losing the next two points didn't help.

The good thing about making crazy predictions is that no one takes you seriously until they come true. Then you sound like a Nostradamus.

Got the Hadraw VK today. Definitely Koto. Definitely also designed to play kinda close to the Korbel but since it is Koto, it has a slightly lower arc and crisper sound and to be honest, given how spin oriented my game is, it doesn't hurt. My racket case now is the Korbel and the Hadraw. Had...

Zhu Yuling already has the Asian Cup as her continental result.

I transfer rubbers across blades.so I can see the differences even when I don't measure them explicity. The Korbel head size is slightly larger like the Joola Viking or Mazunov.

That's a good win. The kid was the only.guy who consistently controlled Quadri's attacks. If not for the home crowd, Quadri would have lost in my mind for sure.

Tenergy 05 or Dignics 05. Those beasts need max rotation.

If I want a smaller sized head blade, I will just use the Lebesson with faster rubbers. But I suspect I am almost done. It is going to be the Carbonado, the Hadraw or the Korbel. The Reflex Award 50 and the Premium contact are thicker than I would ideally like. That said, I haven't tested...

Blame Chen Meng as well... lol...

The main ones I would recommend and they are all different: Innerforce/Harimoto ALC HL5 Nexy Batos Freitas ALC Carbonado is not ALC but is worth trying as an alternative.

Depends on the amateur or the fellow pro. I have seen people discard stuff that other people went on to use for years. Everyone has a different standard for usabilty. I could use the same sheet for a year without feeling it that much. I played with someone yesterday who hasn't bought new...

Thanks. I am going to try out the blade anyways based on your recommendations. Maybe the inner limba is more important than the outer Koto.
