A side story but I remember when I was an up and coming 1100/1200 player. There was this guy who was 2100 in the club but because he had a car accident and missed playing with his right hand, he developed his left hand to a 1700 level or so. I struggled with his left hand and thought I was...

He is probably beating you with his C game. When you get better, you will really understand how good he is.

I didn't like Battle 2. Too much effort - I preferred Big Dipper. If you are a brush spin Looper, I would definitely recommend MX-S. Haven't seen anything as versatile at it in terms of variation between spin, speed, short and flat game.

I would be perfectly okay with 6 months, but I would be disappointed with a small fine, what he did was very reckless and could have injured the umpire under certain circumstances. I think people who toss their rackets should get significant suspensions too as these could easily ricochet and...

Well if you aren't worse Now, then there is hope for the kid. That is my point. There is temperament and there is refinement. Refinement comes with experience and knowledge. Some 15 yr ikds have temperament but no 15 year old has refinement. At least not on the level required to deal...

He is 15. No 15 year old has enough experience to know better.

I have given up on complaining about illegal serves as umpires will not regulate them, especially the hidden ones.

There was a reason - it is called the Chinese front-runner. When a Chinese player gets a comfortable lead, they start taking greater risks. At the beginning of the third game you could see that Xue Fei came out to break him. The kid is 15, he had high expectations for himself and didn't like...

He should be suspended without pay for at least one match. These TT outbursts should not be rewarded.

In the video below is an 81 year old chopper (He is about 1900-2000 now, his highest level in the current history was 2300-2400, may have been even higher when younger). Unfortunately, this was the only video I could get of him and he is playing another pips player so you may not appreciate how...

He is playing this year as well. He is still in Eslov I believe.

They pretty much all do, except the few with life accidents, injuries and character issues. There is a junior tour that gives rating points so it feeds the senior tour. Whether this will all change with the new rating system will be interesting.

The kid is a 15 year old prodigy being raised to be World Champion. What do you want him to Do? And he is probably more disappointed in his ability to perform on that stage. But I think people are just gratuitously criticizing him. Waldner wasn't humble either.

JesperStef, The girls final score is definitely wrong. It was deuce in the 7th after all... looks like you took the Girls SF score.

Or Boll. As Schlager once said, the things that make great players great are not found in the textbooks. Given how strong Moregardh's forehand is, I find 42andbackpains concern extremely weird.

He is 15. Give him a break.

Someone may say that the ZJK ALCis faster than a Viscaria for example. First of all, wood is from a living thing and living things are not always physically consistent in density etc. So blades can be similarly constructed but be made of differently dense woods even though the woods are...

This is getting exhausting. Which people told you these things, how many of those blades have they used and are they equipment experts? Baal has used all those blades and the True Carbon. I have used and tested all those blades as well. If you Google Butterfly Blade Specifications chart...

So I am testing a blade called the Tibhar Inca. I put two Evolution MX-S on both sides. I wasn't sure whether I Wanted to do this initially as I usually hate testing a new blade with a rubber I haven't used in a while. I had put Evolution MX-S on the forehand of my Mazunov (you see me using...

IF you are in LA, I should be able to send it without a problem. I just hate the pain of international postage and filling out all those custom forms. Send me a PM with your address in the US.
