DE, Honestly, Atas writes about equipment and player mindset like someone who has never played table tennis but just understands what people generally say about it. Maybe Chuang spin is bothering him and he wants to use a deader racket like he has in his spare. How do you know? Unless he has...

But it is not done you to determine that. You have no clue whether his rubber was playing faster or slower or his blade was playing faster or slower. Sometimes players adjust their rackets for specific opponents. You act as if pros don't look for advantages in their equipments. They do.

Again you should know that no matter what you are hitting with, you have to submit it for testing and inspection before and sometimes after the match.

You are speaking quite frankly like someone who doesn't play table tennis. You mean you have never played a match where you were not happy with your equipment and how it played?

The rules actually used to permit this. Some people used to bring suitcases and change almost every point. In any case some people don't understand that you should not cheat. It is professional to make sure your equipment is up to snuff before the match.

What makes you think he is changing to a racket he isn't accustomed to? These are the kinds of assumptions that surprise me. Timo Boll is using 6 set ups that are identical. You think he is going to switch to something he doesn't use? It would be interesting to see whether Atas plays...

Debatable if you don't understand that you only want to change a racket if you don't feel you are playing well with it. It is not debatable at all.

If he didn't have a history of doing this, we would take this more straightforwardly. The suspension of the player and the coach speaks louder than anything he says.

This is what we need. I don't know why people tried to say it was not a deliberate action to his advantage earlier in the thread.

Dandoy also has it.

I am not sure he was playing to win he looked like he was playing to practice. But maybe you are right, he might have given up in spirit after the first two games. Haven't seen XX so reluctant to pivot in my life.

Mizutani vs Oshima. Mizutani gives Oshima $1000 for opening up the title.

Kizukuri is making him look that bad?

Anyone other than Harimoto is going to lose easily to Mizutani. Good luck to Oshima if he is up to the task of upsetting Harimoto but he shouldn't be.

Actually, yes.

You make a point but you overstate it. What an 1800 player calls a counterloop is not always what a 2200 player calls a counterloop. Video is often a good test but descriptions sometimes hide reality.

Study what Lula wrote carefully. I can't write much more than that.

If you are choosing between Rakza 7 and MX-S, compromise with Fastarc G1. I think it has good things from both rubbers.

It's possible. Just wondering why people think he wouldn't have an advantage with the backup. Top players EJ more than people realize.

Please find it. That could explain why he tried it again.
