My BH can use anything so where I struggled with Karis was really on the forehand loop spin. But what I realized over time was that my contact depth could be much deeper than I originally realized, and I like deep contact depth, since I used Big Dipper for a few months while rebuilding my...

When your record against someone on the world tour is 1-10, every victory counts and is better than a defeat.

My argument is different and has been made earlier. Drunix80 is a good guy generally and I have no reason to doubt his genuineness and his opinion. What I don't like are conditional insults being thrown around in an atmosphere of disagreement. It's a common strategy used to incite people - if...

It wasn't about that at all as most/many of us were not born in North America or most/many of us have international exposure. Sophisticated writers know how to insult people who disagree with them without being direct. Of course, if Samsonov isn't playing as well, he is going to lose more...

With Rasanter, who knows :p... With Karis M, never. M+ is a good rubber, just not as much fun.

Good for you, I used it for 4 months and I have an extremely powerful backhand but after a while, I gave up on it. MX-S actually has a high throw when you swing hard, the problem is that you need to swing really hard to activate the throw and that almost destroyed me. I could not chiquita with...

Shadow training.

MX-S is a great rubber if you don't topspin with your backhand. It is pretty hard to get arc with typical backhand strokes. R47 is like a more advanced Rhyzm. Extremely grippy topsheet. I have not used it on my backhand so I cannot say for sure how it plays there. But for my forehand, it...

I saw a video of ML and FZD doing backhands in practice from a secret source. Let's just say that one player missed many BH flicks and the other player made virtually every one. People play to their strengths.

You need to change your signature if you are no longer using the equipment that you used to. White ash (which I think is the outer ply of KJH) is harder than what I typically use, but I am adapting. For the first time in forever, I went to the club with one blade in my bag. It is KJH, R47...

And who are you telling this? A 4 year old? I was being sarcastic, and everyone realized it then.

Sick rally:

I hit with the chopper in my club today. It helped me realize what had gone wrong with my Chiquita. I have become a very big fan of the Kim Jung Hoon blade and the handle design. I wish more blades with limba were designed like that. Korean blades have smaller wings that Japanese blades in...

Remove the doubles match from the teams and just make teams best of 3. Then put in 7 events :D.

Your opinion. Possibly true. But definitely not certainly true. Experience is almost as important as athleticism in this sport. Mizutani is from the same generation as Ma Long etc and was a prodigy which is why you might almost put him in a different generation. But Boll has only one WTTC...

I disagree for obvious reasons. 1. The prior generation lost medals to Timo Boll, Ryu Seung Min, Oh Sang Eun etc. at major events. THe current generation has lost fewer, maybe in part because of fewer Olympic spots. But Xu Xin, Ma Long and Zhang Jike dominate the World Cups and the WTTCs...

I like your post, but I disagree that the WH, WLQ and MLin generation were greater than the ML, XX and ZJK generation. THe results were virtually identical in terms of domination and they don't call the ML, XX, and ZJK generation the special generation for nothing (they dethroned the prior...

Since I am probably one of those people, I don't think that is an entirely fair characterization. In addition to being a talented junior, Ma Long pretty much was doing well in just about every event, just not winning it. But the thing that really sparked this was the 50 match(maybe a bit more...

They now have 7 pt 5th set in Russian league too?

Dima was the top player on Jiangsu when he was healthy. He went the next year injured and had a bad year so people now dwell on that, forgetting how deeply international stars are studied for weaknesses in China. One can argue that the real strength of China is the coaching intelligence...
