Saw Abe there as well - he won the U1750 the day before. Don't know how he did on Sunday but his lefty game must have taken some prisoners. Beast modes blades eat all competitors.

I went to Westchester to take down the goon squad younglings. Went 4-1 against them. Lost to some kid who is no longer as small as he used to be with the initials BZ. I am going to get that lefty kid sometime soon, I promise!

I tried but personality trumps reason in these circumstances.

You are really a small man. You really want to delude yourself that you can loop better than I can? Go ahead. There are lunatics everywhere.

You talking about me? I broke 2000 with Big Dipper on my backhand!

The reviews of MX-S on that are a little deceptive. What they mean is that MX-S rewards prolonged contact and acceleration. It's actually a pretty demanding rubber to use and requires/rewards larger strokes which can be done with wrist action. Just using the wrist largely in isolation on...

If you have a real forehand, you are going to reverse those rubbers at some point. Baracuda is grippy enough for any ball, plastic, cell or even foot, basket, base and golf.

He is still a French player. The current national coaching staff is just reluctant to call him up for team events, that's all. It may affect other things, but he is still the National champion even if not #1 rated.

Gotta disagree. I think you are right that the topsheet could be better, but it is more than good enough to compete and small changes can be made if necessary without changing the rubber.

Character revealed can be built and rebuilt.:p

OK. Good luck. And write a review after so others like you can be informed.;)

And I thought I told you which one to get. But like I said, I know your type.:cool:

My recommendation to most people in your shoes is to buy a popular modern rubber. Vega Europe is a bit soft, and it was a popular but not very much so on the forehand. If you had used something more in vogue like Vega Pro or Baracuda or Tenergy, you would have had a more popular baseline to...

Terms like "faster" and "spinnier" are dangerous. There is the speed/catapult of the rubber, there is the grip/pips/spin of the rubber, and then there is the ratio of both. Something grippy and very fast will be fast and spinny, but if the speed ratio overwhelms the spin/grip, it may not be as...

Same as Marion Bartoli. Interesting.

Why????

Then with the criteria of relatively high speed/spin (I myself prefer high spin/speed), medium, 2.0mm, modern rubber that isn't Tenergy, then you are looking at things like Calibra LT, Rhyzm 42.5 and Andro Rasant. The problem though is that you may not be sure what high speed/spin is until you...

Everyone, For context: Andy has set a goal of becoming a ranked player in England in 3 years. He has ankylosing spondylitis. He has only been playing for 6 months. He has 3 very good coaches so let's give him advice but not lose sleep over whether he takes it or not. His blog is here...

I like the last two posts as well. TT always looks much simpler to the observer than it actually is. Even experienced players are guilty of watching higher level players and thinking that they can easily get to their level. What you can't see when watching high level players is the years of...

Yes, it often is. Especially when you know they have a good idea what they are talking about. You aren't the first or the last person to travel this road. I'm trying to explain to you that in the bigger world of TT, it is a road largely created by equipment manufacturers to take advantage of...
